Blind Spot Information System (BSI)

The blind spot information system (BSI) that turns on the BSI alert indicators (A) beside the door mirrors when another vehicle in the next lane enters the "blind" area, where the driver cannot see the vehicle with his peripheral vision or with the inside and outside rearview mirrors.

NOTE: The BSI system does not ensure the safety of the vehicle occupants, nor does it help in low visibility situations such as bad weather.

The BSI system turns on/blinks* the BSI alert indicator in the following situations.

*: When moving the turn signal lever toward the side with the BSI alert indicator on, the alert indicator blinks to alert driver.
