Function Description
- The BSW system can help alert the driver of other vehicles in adjacent lanes when changing lanes.
- The BSW system uses side radar installed near the rear bumper to detect vehicles in an adjacent lane.
- The side radar 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 32 km/h (20 MPH).
- If the side radar detects vehicles in the detection zone, the BSW indicator illuminates.
- If the driver then activates the turn signal, a buzzer will sound twice and the BSW indicator will blink.NOTE:
A buzzer sounds if the side radar have 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 BSW indicator blinks and no buzzer sounds.
