BSI system is designed to detect
vehicles in specified alert zones
adjacent to your vehicle, particularly
in harder to see areas commonly
known as ‘‘blind spots.’’
When BSI detects a vehicle in an
alert zone, a BSI alert indicator
comes on near the corresponding
outside rearview mirror.
While your vehicle is moving
forward at a speed between 6 mph
(10 km/h) and 100 mph (160 km/h),
the BSI alert indicator comes on
under either of the following
conditions:
The system will not alert you to all
vehicles in blind spot zones (such as
vehicles you have just passed which
you should already be aware of)
unless it remains in the alert zone for
approximately 2 or more seconds.
Another vehicle overtakes you,
entering the alert zone from
behind, at a speed that differs
from your vehicle’s speed by no
more than 31 mph (50 km/h).
You pass a vehicle at a speed that
differs from that vehicle’s speed
by no more than 12 mph (20
km/h). The indicator comes on
approximately 2 seconds after the
vehicle enters the alert zone.
While the system is on, BSI is active
whenever the shift lever is in the D
or S position.
