WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the BSI
system could result in serious injury or
death.
. The BSI system is not a replacement
for proper driving procedures and is
not designed to prevent contact with
vehicles or objects. When changing
lanes, always use the side and rear
mirrors and turn and look in the
direction your vehicle will move to
ensure it is safe to change lanes.
Never rely solely on the BSI system.
. There is a limitation to the detection
capability of the radar. Not every
moving object or vehicle will be
detected. Using the BSI system under
some road, ground, lane marker,
traffic or weather conditions could
lead to improper system operation.
Always rely on your own operation to
avoid accidents.
The BSI system helps alert the driver of other
vehicles in adjacent lanes when changing
lanes, and helps assist the driver to return
the vehicle to the center of the traveling
lane.

The BSI system uses radar sensors
installed near the rear bumper to detect
other vehicles in an adjacent lane. In addition
to the radar sensors, the BSI system uses a
camera
installed behind the windshield to
monitor the lane markers of your traveling
lane.
