i-ACTIVSENSE

The BSM or Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) system notifies the driver of the presence of vehicles in adjacent lanes to the rear of your vehicle using the BSM warning lights and the warning beep while the systems are operational.

BSM warning lights

The BSM warning lights are equipped on the left and right door mirrors. The warning lights turn on when a vehicle approaching from the rear in an adjacent lane is detected.

When the ignition is switched ON, the malfunction warning light turns on momentarily and then turns off after a few seconds.

Forward driving (BSM system operation)

The BSM system detects vehicles approaching from the rear and turns on the BSM warning lights equipped on the door mirrors according to the conditions. Additionally, while a BSM warning light is illuminated, if the direction indicator lever is operated to signal a turn in the direction in which the BSM warning light is illuminated, the BSM warning light flashes.

Reverse driving (Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) system operation)

The Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) system detects vehicles approaching from the left and right of your vehicle and flashes the BSM warning lights.

Function for cancelling illumination dimmer

If the BSM warning lights turn on when the position lights are turned on, the brightness of the BSM warning lights is dimmed.

If the BSM warning lights are difficult to see due to glare from surrounding brightness when travelling on snow-covered roads or under foggy conditions, press the dimmer cancellation button to cancel the dimmer and increase the brightness of BSM warning lights when they turn on.

Refer to Instrument Panel Illumination (Search).

BSM warning beep

The BSM warning beep is activated simultaneously with the flashing of a BSM warning light.
