Blind Spot Information (BSI) System Description
The Blind Spot Information (BSI) radar unit emits radar waves from the left and right BSI radar and detects other vehicles in the blind spot. BSI system function uses the BSI radar unit. The BSI alert indicators warn the driver when a vehicle enters the driver's side or the passenger's side blind spot alert zone. If the driver turns on the turn signal while the BSI alert is on, the BSI alert flashes and an audible alarm sounds to warn the driver. If the BSI radar unit malfunctions, the BSI system stops operating. The vehicle alerts the driver that there is a problem by turning on a warning indicator on the gauge control module.
