In addition to vehicles to the rear which are difficult to see in the door mirrors, BSM monitors adjacent lanes up to approximately 60 meters behind the vehicle to detect rapidly approaching vehicles. When a vehicle is detected, an indicator in the door mirror illuminates. If the driver operates the turn signal after an overtaking vehicle has been detected, the indicator flashes to alert the driver.

When the system detects possible lane or road deviations, it displays a message on the color head up display*6 and multi information display, vibrates the steering wheel, or sounds a buzzer to alert the driver. It also assists steering to avoid lane departure. The system not only recognizes white lane markings, but also the boundaries between asphalt and grass, dirt, curb stones and other objects.

When the system detects a vehicle, pedestrian (day or night), or bicyclist (day)*1 ahead using the millimeter-wave radar and monocular camera sensors, it alerts the driver of a possible collision with a warning buzzer and alert on the multi-information display. If the driver depresses the brake pedal, pre-collision brake assist operates.
