BLIND SPOT INTERVENTION
TM
SYS-
TEM OPERATION
If the radar sensors detect vehicles in the
detection zone, the Blind spot warning
indicator light located inside the outside
mirrors illuminates. If your vehicle is
approaching a lane marker, the Blind spot
warning indicator light flashes and an
audible warning will sound three times.
Then the system applies the brakes on one
side of the vehicle for a short period of
time to help return the vehicle back to the
center of the lane. Blind Spot Interven-
tion
TM
operates regardless of turn signal
usage.
NOTE:
. Warning and brake control will only be
activated if the Blind spot warning
indicator light is already illuminated
when your vehicle approaches a lane
marker. If another vehicle comes into
the detection zone after your vehicle
has crossed a lane marker, no warning
or brake control will be activated. (See
“BSW/Blind Spot Intervention
TM
driv-
ing situations” later in this section.)
. The Blind Spot Intervention
TM
system is
typically activated earlier than the
Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) sys-
tem when your vehicle is approaching
a lane marker.
The Blind Spot Intervention
TM
system turns
on when the dynamic driver assistance
switch on the steering wheel is pushed
when the “Blind Spot Intervention” is
enabled in the settings menu on the center
display. The Blind Spot Intervention
TM
ON
indicator light (green) on the instrument
panel illuminates when the Blind Spot
Intervention
TM
system is turned on.
The Blind Spot Intervention
TM
system
provides an audible warning and flashes
the indicator light when Blind Spot Inter-
vention
TM
is activated even if the BSW
system is off.
