Blind Spot Information System Description
The Blind Spot Information 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. The driver can turn on and off the BSI system function using the safety support switch. The BSI system maintains the previous on or off when the power is restarted.
If the Blind Spot Information radar unit malfunctions, the Blind Spot Information system stops operating. The vehicle alerts the driver that there is a problem by turning on a warning indicator on the gauge control module.
Radar Zone Definition
The Blind Spot Information radars are installed on the left and right sides of the rear side outer panel and covered by the rear bumper. The mounting positions are symmetrical on the left and the right.
The radar wave emission range and the vehicle detection range of the Blind Spot Information radar unit are shown. They are symmetrical. The vehicle detection range makes up only a part of the radar wave emission range.
Blind Spot Information (BSI) System
When the vehicle is running, the blind spot information radar unit learns axis misalignment correction. While the learning is not finished, detecting range of the system is the same as the range (3 m from the rear end) at the time of shipment from the Honda factory, and when the learning is completed, the detecting range becomes wider. This learning will complete automatically while repeated normal driving above 30km/h (19 mph). The learning status can be confirmed in the learning status parameter shown in the HDS data list.
