Blind Spot Intervention System Operation Description
- ADAS control unit enables Blind Spot Intervention system.
- Turn ON the dynamic driver assistance switch, and Blind Spot Intervention system setting in the vehicle information display. Then Blind Spot Intervention ON indicator comes on.
- Combination meter turns Blind Spot Intervention ON indicator lamp ON/OFF according to the signals from ADAS control unit via CAN communication.
- Side radar detects a vehicle in the adjacent lane, and transmits the vehicle detection signal to ADAS control unit via ITS communication.
- Side radar receives vehicle speed signal from ADAS control unit and changes its detecting function.
- Lane camera unit monitors lane markers of the traveling lane and transmits the detected lane condition signal to ADAS control unit via ITS communication.
- ADAS control unit starts the control as follows, based on a vehicle detection signal, lane condition signal, turn signal and dimmer signal transmitted from BCM via CAN communication:
- Blind Spot Warning/Blind Spot Intervention indicator signal and Blind Spot Warning/Blind Spot Intervention indicator dimmer signal transmission to side radar.
- Buzzer signal transmission to warning buzzer.
- Calculation of necessary yaw moment and transmission of the target yaw moment signal to ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).
- Side radar transmits an indicator operation signal to the Blind Spot Warning/Blind Spot Intervention indicator according to Blind Spot Warning/Blind Spot Intervention indicator operation signal and Blind Spot Warning/Blind Spot Intervention indicator dimmer signal.
- ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) controls brake pressure of four wheels respectively according to the target yaw moment signal.
Operation Condition of Blind Spot Intervention System
ADAS control unit performs the control when the following conditions are satisfied.
- Blind Spot Intervention ON indicator: ON
- When the vehicle drives at 60 km/h (37 MPH) or more to the forward direction.
NOTE:
- When the Blind Spot Intervention system setting in the vehicle information display is ON.

- Blind Spot Intervention braking will not operate or will stop operating and only a warning chime will sound under the following conditions.
- When the brake pedal is depressed.
- When the accelerator pedal is depressed while brake control assist is provided.
- When steering quickly.
- When the ICC, DCA, FCW or IBA warnings sound.
- When the hazard warning flashers are operated.
- When driving on a curve at a high speed.
- Under the following conditions, the Blind Spot Intervention system will be turned off automatically, a beep will sound and the Blind Spot Intervention ON indicator will blink. The BSW system is still available, but the Blind Spot Intervention system will not be available until the conditions no longer exist.
- When the VDC system (except TCS function) or ABS operates.
- When the VDC system is turned OFF.
- When the SNOW mode switch is turned ON.
