What Is Blind Spot Information System
Blind spot information system detects vehicles that may have entered the blind spot zone.
HOW DOES BLIND SPOT INFORMATION SYSTEM WORK
Blind spot information system uses sensors on both sides of your vehicle, detecting rearward from the exterior mirrors to approximately 4 m (13 ft) beyond the rear bumper. The detection area extends to approximately 18 m (59 ft) beyond the rear bumper when the vehicle speed is greater than 48 km/h (30 mph) to alert you of faster approaching vehicles.
BLIND SPOT INFORMATION SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS

The blind spot information system is not a replacement for careful driving. WARNING: The system may not operate properly during severe weather conditions, for example snow, ice, heavy rain and spray. Always drive with due care and attention. Failure to take care may result in a crash. |
