The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) system helps alert the driver of other vehicles in adjacent lanes when changing lanes.

The Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system helps alert the driver when the vehicle is traveling close to either the left or the right of a traveling lane.

Blind Spot Warning (BSW) System / Lane Departure Warning (LDW) System

The BSW/LDW systems use the rear view monitor camera unit 1 with automatic washer and blower

WARNING
  •  The BSW system is not a replacement for proper driving procedure and is not designed to prevent contact with vehicles or objects. When changing lanes, always use the side and rear mirrors and turn and look in the direction you will move to ensure it is safe to change lanes. Never rely solely on the BSW system.
  •  The LDW system is only a warning device to help inform the driver of a potential unintended lane departure. It will not steer the vehicle or prevent loss of control. It is the driver’s responsibility to stay alert, drive safely, keep the vehicle in the traveling lane, and be in control of the vehicle at all times.
  •  The camera unit may not function properly under the following conditions:
  •  When towing a trailer.
  •  When strong light enters the camera unit. (e.g. light directly shines on the rear of the vehicle at sunrise or sunset.)
  •  When ambient brightness changes suddenly. (e.g. when the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel or passes under a bridge.)
  •  If the camera lens is excessively dirty, the automatic washer may not be able to completely clean the lens. This could result in the camera not detecting vehicles or lane markers.
  • Excessive noise (e.g. audio system volume, open vehicle window) will interfere with the chime sound, and it may not be heard.

BSW system operation

BSW system operation
BSW system operation

The BSW system operates above approximately 20 MPH (32 km/h).

When the camera unit detects vehicles in the detection zone, the Blind Spot indicator light located inside the outside mirrors will illuminate. If the turn signal is then activated, the system chimes (twice) and the Blind Spot indicator light flashes to alert the driver.

The Blind Spot indicator light continues to flash until the detected vehicle(s) leave the detection zone.

Detection zone
Detection zone

The camera unit can detect vehicles on either side of your vehicle when part of another vehicle is within the detection zone shown as illustrated.

This detection zone typically starts from the outside mirror of your vehicle and extends approximately 10 ft (3.0 m) behind the rear bumper, and approximately 10 ft (3.0 m) sideways.

NOTE: The Blind Spot indicator lights will illuminate for a few seconds when the ignition switch is placed in the ON position. The brightness of the Blind Spot indicator lights is adjusted automatically depending on the brightness of the ambient light.

A chime sounds if the camera unit has already detected vehicles 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 indicator light flashes and no chime sounds. For additional information, refer to “BSW driving situations” in this section.

Turning on or off the BSW system

The BSW system is turned on or off using the settings menu in the vehicle information display.

SYSTEM ON: The BSW indicator in the vehicle information display will appear.

SYSTEM OFF: The BSW indicator in the vehicle information display will disappear.

Perform the following steps to enable or disable the BSW system:

  1.  Press the  button until “Settings” displays in the vehicle information display. Use the t o select “Driver Assistance”.

    Then press the ENTER button.

  2.  Select “Driving Aids”, and press the ENTER button.
  3.  To set the BSW system to on or off, use the  buttons to navigate in the menu and use the ENTER button to select or change an item:
  •  Select “Blind Spot” and press the ENTER button.
  •  To turn on the warning, use the ENTER button to check box for “Warning (BSW)”
WARNING
  •  The camera unit may not be able to detect when certain objects are present such as:
  •  Pedestrians, bicycles, animals
  •  Some types of small vehicles such as motorcycles, and very short length vehicles
  • Oncoming vehicles
  •  A vehicle approaching rapidly from behind. For additional information, refer to “BSW driving situations” in this section.
  •  A vehicle which your vehicle overtakes rapidly. For additional information, refer to “BSW driving situations” in this section.
  •  A vehicle that merges or changes lanes rapidly directly next to your vehicle.
  •  The camera unit may not be able to detect property when your vehicle travels beside the middle section of a vehicle with long wheelbase (e.g. trailer truck, semi-trailer, tractor).
  •  The camera detection zone is designed based on a standard lane width. When driving in a wider lane, the camera unit may not detect vehicles in an adjacent lane. When driving in a narrow lane, the camera unit may detect vehicles driving two lanes away.
  •  The camera unit is designed to ignore most stationary objects, however objects such as guardrails, walls, foliage and parked vehicles may occasionally be detected. This is a normal operating condition.
  •  The camera unit may detect the reflected image of vehicles or roadside objects that are not actually in the detection zone, especially when the road is wet.

BSW driving situations

Another vehicle approaching from behind

Another vehicle approaching from behind

The Blind Spot indicator light illuminates if a vehicle enters the detection zone from behind in an adjacent lane.

However, if the overtaking vehicle is traveling much faster than your vehicle, the indicator light may not illuminate before the detected vehicle is beside your vehicle. Always use the side and rear mirrors and turn and look in the direction your vehicle will move to ensure it is safe to change lanes.

Another vehicle approaching from behind

If the driver activates the turn signal, then the Blind Spot indicator light flashes and a chime will sound twice.

NOTE: If the driver activates the turn signal before a vehicle enters the detection zone, the Blind Spot indicator light will flash but no chime will sound when the other vehicle is detected.

Overtaking other vehicles

Overtaking other vehicles

The Blind Spot indicator light illuminates if you overtake a vehicle and that vehicle stays in the detection zone for approximately 3 seconds.

The camera unit may not detect slower moving vehicles if they are passed quickly

Overtaking other vehicles

If the driver activates the turn signal while another vehicle is in the detection zone, then the Blind Spot indicator light flashes and a chime will sound twice.
