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 13 ft (4 m) beyond the rear bumper. The detection area extends to approximately 59 ft (18 m) beyond the rear bumper when the vehicle speed is greater than 30 mph (48 km/h) to alert you of faster approaching vehicles.

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. |
