9.11.1. Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention (I-BSI) (where fitted)
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions for proper use of the I-BSI system could result in serious injury or death.
The I-BSI system is not a replacement for proper driving procedure and is not designed to prevent contact with vehicles or objects. When changing lanes, always use the side and rear mirrors and turn and look in the direction you will move to ensure it is safe to change lanes. Never rely solely on the I-BSI system.
There is a limitation to the detection capability of the radar or the sonar. Not every moving object or vehicle will be detected. Using the I-BSI system under some road, ground, lane marker, traffic or weather conditions could lead to improper system operation. Always rely on your own operation to avoid accidents.
The I-BSI system helps alert the driver of other vehicles in adjacent lanes when changing lanes, and helps assist the driver to return the vehicle to the centre of the travelling lane.
The I-BSI system uses radar sensors (A) installed near the rear bumper to detect other vehicles in an adjacent lane. In addition to the radar sensors, the I-BSI system uses a camera (B) installed behind the windscreen to monitor the lane markers of your travelling lane.
The radar sensors can detect vehicles on either side of your vehicle within the detection zone shown as illustrated.
The detection zone starts from the outside mirror of your vehicle and extends approximately 3.0 m (10 ft) behind the rear bumper, and approximately 3.0 m (10 ft) sideways.
