■ Cautions regarding the use of
the BSM function
The driver is solely responsible for
safe driving. Always drive safely, tak-
ing care to observe your surround-
ings.
The BSM function is a supplementary
function which alerts the driver that a
vehicle is in a blind spot of the outside
rear view mirrors or is approaching
rapidly from behind into a blind spot.
Do not overly rely on the BSM func-
tion. As the function cannot judge if it
is safe to change lanes, over reliance
could lead to an accident resulting in
death or serious injury.
As the system may not function cor-
rectly under certain conditions, the
driver’s own visual confirmation of
safety is necessary.
