BLIND SPOT WARNING (BSW) SYSTEM/ BLIND SPOT INTERVENTION™ (BSI) SYSTEM (if so equipped) The BSW and BSI systems can help alert the driver of other vehicles in adjacent lanes when changing lanes. SSD1027 SSD1030 The BSW system uses radar sensors 1 installed near the rear bumper to detect other vehicles beside your vehicle in an adjacent lane. In addition to the radar sensors, the BSI system uses a camera 2 installed behind the windshield to monitor the lane markers of your traveling lane. Detection zone The radar sensors can detect vehicles on either side of your vehicle within the detection zone shown as illustrated. This detection zone 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. The BSW system operates above approximately 20 MPH (32 km/h). If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the detection zone, the BSW/BSI indicator light illuminates. If the driver then activates the turn signal, a chime will sound twice and the BSW/BSI indicator light will flash. 5-28 Starting and driving
