Function Description
- The BSW system can help alert the driver of other vehicles in adjacent lanes when changing lanes.
- The BSW system uses side radars installed near the rear bumper to detect vehicles in an adjacent lane.
- The side radars can detect vehicles on either side of vehicle within the detection zone shown as illustrated.
- This detection zone starts from the outside mirror of vehicle and extends approximately 10 ft. (3.0 m) behind the rear bumper, and approximately 10 ft. (3.0 m) sideways.
- The BSW system operates above approximately 20 MPH (32 km/h).
- If the side radar detects vehicles in the detection zone, the Blind Spot Warning indicator illuminates.
- If the driver then activates the turn signal, a buzzer will sound twice and the Blind Spot Warning indicator will blink.NOTE: A buzzer sounds if the side radar has detected a vehicle when the driver activates the turn signal. If a vehicle comes into the detection zone after the driver activates the turn signal, then only the Blind Spot Warning indicator blinks and no buzzer sounds.
