WARNING

Listed below are the system limitations for the

BSW/Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention system.

Failure to operate the vehicle in accordance with

these system limitations could result in serious

injury or death.

The BSW/Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention

•

THE BSW AND INTELLIGENT BLIND

SPOT INTERVENTION SYSTEMS:

system is not a replacement for proper driving

procedure and is not designed to prevent con-

tact with vehicles or objects. When driving, al-

ways use the side and rear mirrors and always

turn your head and look in the direction you

will move to ensure it is safe to change lanes.

Never rely solely on the BSW system.

SSD1030Z

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 out-

side mirror of your vehicle and extends approxi-

mately 3.0 m (10 ft) behind the rear bumper, and

approximately 3.0 m (10 ft) sideways.

There is a limitation to the detection capabil-

ity of the radar. Using the BSW and Intelligent

Blind Spot Intervention systems under some

road, lane marker or weather conditions could

lead to improper system operation. Always

rely on your own operation to avoid accidents.

•

The BSW system operates above approximately 32

km/h (20 MPH). If the radar sensors detect vehicles

in the detection zone, the BSW LED indicator light

illuminates. If the driver then activates the turn sig-

nal, the system chimes a sound (twice) and the BSW

LED indicator light will flash.

NIC3802

The BSW system operates at speeds above

approximately 32 km/h (20 MPH).

•

The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) and Intelligent Blind

Spot Intervention systems can help alert the driver

of other vehicles in adjacent lanes when changing

lanes.

The Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention system oper-

ates above approximately 60 km/h (37 MPH). If the

radar detects a vehicle in the detection zone and

your vehicle is approaching the lane marker, the

systems chime a sound (three times), flashes the

BSW LED indicator light, and slightly applies the

brakes on one side for a short period of time to help

return the vehicle back to the travelling lane.

The Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention system

operates at speeds above approximately 60

km/h (37 MPH).

A installed

The BSW system uses radar sensors

near the rear bumper to detect other vehicles be-

side your vehicle in an adjacent lane. In addition to

the radar sensors, the Intelligent Blind Spot Inter-

Starting and driving 211

The Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention system pro-

vides an audible warning and turns on or flashes

the BSW LED indicator light even if the BSW system

is off.

If the turn signal is then activated, the system

chimes (twice) and the BSW LED indicator light

flashes. The BSW LED indicator light continues to

flash until the detected vehicle leaves the detection

zone.

BSW temporary disabled status

When radar blockage is detected, the BSW system

will be turned off automatically. The [Not available

Side radar obstructed] warning message will ap-

pear in the vehicle information display.

BSW SYSTEM OPERATION

The BSW LED indicator light illuminates for a few

seconds when the ignition is placed in the ON posi-

tion. The brightness of the side indicator light is ad-

justed automatically depending on the brightness

of ambient light.

The system is not available until the conditions no

longer exist.

The radar sensors may be blocked by temporary

ambient conditions such as splashing water, mist,

or fog. The blocked condition may also be caused

by objects such as ice, frost or dirt obstructing the

radar sensors.

If a vehicle comes into the detection zone after the

driver activates the turn signal, then only the BSW

LED indicator light flashes and no chime sounds.

For additional information, see “Another vehicle ap-

proaching from behind” later in this section.

System malfunction

If the BSW system malfunctions, it will be turned off

automatically. The [Not available System Malfunc-

tion] warning message will appear and BSW indica-

tor (yellow) on in the vehicle information display.

BSW Indicator

The BSW system operates above approximately

32 km/h (20 MPH).

If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the detection

zone, the BSW LED indicator light illuminates.

212 Starting and driving

outside mirrors illuminates. If your vehicle is ap-

proaching a lane marker, the system chimes a

sound (three times) and the BSW LED indicator light

flashes. Then the system applies the brakes on one

side of the vehicle for a moment to help return the

vehicle back to the centre of the lane. Intelligent

Blind Spot Intervention operates regardless of turn

signal usage.

NOTE

Warning and brake control will only be activated

if the BSW LED indicator light is already illumi-

nated when your vehicle approaches

a lane

marker. If another vehicle comes into the detec-

tion zone after your vehicle has crossed a lane

marker, no warning or brake control will be acti-

vated. For additional information, see “BSW/In-

telligent Blind Spot Intervention driving

situations” later in this section. The Intelligent

Blind Spot Intervention system is typically acti-

vated earlier than the Lane Departure Prevention

(LDP) system when your vehicle is approaching a

lane marker.

The Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention system turns

on when either the ProPILOTswitch (for models with

ProPILOT), the Drive Assist switch (for models with-

out ProPILOT) or the speed limiter switch on the
