Information
The function will activate when:
1. The system is on.
2. The vehicle speed is above approximately 20 mph (30 km/h).
3. An oncoming vehicle is detected in the blind spot area.
First stage alert
If a vehicle is detected within the boundary of the system, a warning light (yellow) will illuminate on the outer side view mirror.
Once the detected vehicle is no longer within the blind spot area, the warning will turn off depending on the driving conditions of the vehicle.
Second stage alert
A warning chime to alert the driver will activate when:
1. A vehicle has been detected in the blind spot area by the radar system (the warning light will illuminate on the outer side view mirror) (i.e., in the first stage alert) AND
2. The turn signal is applied (same side as where the vehicle is being detected).
When this alert is activated, the warning light on the side view mirror will also blink.
If you turn off the turn signal indicator, the second stage alert (warning chime and blinking warning light on the outer side view mirror) will be deactivated.
• The second stage alarm may be deactivated.

Information
The warning chime function helps alert the driver. Deactivate this function only when it is necessary. For more information, refer to "LCD Display Modes" in chapter 3.
Adjust the steering wheel so it points toward your chest, not toward your face. Make sure you can see the instrument cluster warning lights and gauges. After adjusting, push the steering wheel both up and down to be certain it is locked in position. Always adjust the position of the steering wheel before driving.
WARNING
NEVER adjust the steering wheel while driving. This may cause loss of vehicle control resulting in an accident.
