The BSM detection zone covers approximately one lane

width on both sides of the vehicle (12 ft or 3.8 m). The

zone length starts at the outside rear view mirror and

extends approximately 10 ft (3 m) beyond the rear

bumper of the vehicle. The BSM system monitors the

detection zones on both sides of the vehicle when the

vehicle speed reaches approximately 6 mph (10 km/h) or

higher and will alert the driver of vehicles in these areas.
NOTE:

• The BSM system does NOT alert the driver about

rapidly approaching vehicles that are outside the de-

tection zones.

• The BSM system detection zone DOES NOT change if

your vehicle is towing a trailer. Therefore, visually

verify the adjacent lane is clear for both your vehicle

and trailer before making a lane change. If the trailer or

other object (i.e., bicycle, sports equipment) extends

beyond the side of your vehicle, this may result in the

BSM warning light remaining illuminated the entire

time the vehicle is in a forward gear.
