approaching vehicles to the left or right side direction and gives information to
the driver.

The indicator on the switch will lluminate when the Blind Spot Detection System
(BSD) switch is pressed with the Engine Start/Stop Button ON.
The system will turn on and standby to activate.
- The system operates when the vehicle speed is below about 6.2 mph (10 km/h)
with the shift lever in R (Reverse).
- The RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert) detecting range is about 1.6 feet ~
65.6 feet (0.5 m ~ 20m) based on the side direction. However, the system sensing
range is different base on conditions. Always pay attention to the surrounding.
Warning type
- If the vehicle detected by the sensors approaches your vehicle, the warning
chime will sound, the warning light on the outside rearview mirror will blink

the vehicle away from the detected object slowly; the warning will be cancelled.
