BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) SYSTEM


id099000000600


Purpose of Adoption

•  To verify the conditions surrounding the vehicle, the BSM system aids in the verification of obstructions in the blind spot area at the rear of the vehicle. The driver is alerted to the presence of obstructions in the blind spot area at the rear of the vehicle while the vehicle is being driven.
•  The driver is warned of the danger of a collision with a vehicle at the rear when making a lane change. The warning is made by displaying the icon in the outer mirror.

Service point

•  When replacing parts, the BSM radar test is required. Is the radar operating normally? Verify that the installation angle is correct.

Common Inquiry

•  In the following cases, the system may delay in detecting approaching vehicles or a warning may not be possible.
1.  The approaching vehicle speed is too fast.
2.  A vehicle in which wave reflection is poor such as a scooter or bicycle.
3.  There is an obstruction (mud, snow, sticker) on the bumper surface around the radar installation position.
•  A mistaken warning may occur for static objects such as guard rails and walls while driving.

Other

•  The user has the option of setting the system to off in situations where frequent lane changes occur by vehicles cutting into the driving lane in congested traffic, which can trigger the alarm sound and be bothersome.
•  The BSM recognizes the position and speed of detected objects by analyzing the reflected radar emitted by the BSM, and although it determines the possible danger of a collision, in environments where there are guard rails/walls running alongside the vehicle, the system may view them as detected objects at the side of the vehicle because the reflection point of the radar is directly at the side of the vehicle. As a result, a false alarm may occur.
