Vehicles equipped with the Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) system have a display that appears in both the right and left outside rear view mirrors. The display consists of a translucent triangle icon (1) in the mirror glass that is illuminated by an amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) unit mounted behind the icon on the mirror glass case. When illuminated, only the amber colored triangle is visible on the outer surface of the mirror glass. The LED unit for the display is connected to the vehicle electrical system along with the other wiring for the power mirror through a dedicated take out and connector of the door wire harness.

The BSM displays are each integral to the outside rear view mirror glass and case unit. The displays cannot be adjusted or repaired. If a BSM display is ineffective or damaged, the entire mirror glass and case unit must be replaced. Refer to MIRROR, OUTSIDE REARVIEW, GLASS, REMOVAL .
