system function
Blind Spot Warning [BSW] (Lane Change Assist) system
function
• A Blind Spot Warning [BSW] (with Lane Change Assist)
system recognizes a vehicle at a rear corner (blind spot) by
using radars on the body in the rear bumper. When another
vehicle and the vehicle which comes close in an adjacent
traffic lane is detected, the system illuminates or blinks the
warning light on the door mirror and sounds the tone alarm
to alert the driver. When the system expects that another
vehicle enters the warning area from next to or behind in
another lane, it will alert the driver to refrain from lane
change, thus avoiding or mitigating accidents.
• The Blind Spot Warning [BSW] (with Lane Change Assist)
system will provide audible and visible warnings when
another vehicle enters the warning area while your vehicle
speed is 10 km/h (6.2 mph) or more and the selector lever
is not at R range.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) system function
• This system also features a Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
function . This function blinks the indicator on the door mirror
and provides visible and audible warnings on the combination meter indicator and meter display when another vehicle

is approaching or crossing during reversing.
