WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the BCI
system could result in serious injury or
death.

.

The BCI system is not a replacement
for proper driving procedure, is not
designed to prevent contact with
vehicles or objects and does not
provide full brake power. When back-
ing out of parking spaces, always use
the inside and rear mirrors and turn
and look in the direction you will
move. Never rely solely on the BCI
system.

.

There is a limitation to the detection
capability of the radar or the sonar.
Using the BCI system under some
road, ground, traffic or weather con-
ditions could lead to improper system
operation. Always rely on your own
operation to avoid accidents.

The BCI system can help alert the driver of
an approaching vehicle or objects behind the
vehicle when the driver is backing out of a
parking space.

JVS1152X

The BCI system uses radar sensors
installed on both sides near the rear bumper
to detect an approaching vehicle and sonar
sensors

to detect objects in the rear.

BCI SYSTEM OPERATION

When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position and the vehicle speed is less than
approximately 5 MPH (8 km/h), the BCI
system operates.
If the radar detects a vehicle approaching
from the side or the sonar detects close
stationary objects behind the vehicle, the
system gives visual and audible warnings. If
the driver does not apply the brakes, the
system automatically applies the brake for a
moment when the vehicle is moving back-
wards. After the automatic brake applica-
tion, the driver must depress the brake pedal
to maintain brake pressure. If the driver’s
foot is on the accelerator pedal, the system

In the case of several vehicles approach-

ing in a row (Illustration 1) or in the
opposite direction (Illustration 2), a
chime may not be issued to the BCI
system after the first vehicle passes the
sensors.

.

The sonar system chime indicating there

is an object behind the vehicle has a
higher priority than the BCI chime (single
beep) indicating an approaching vehicle.
If the sonar system detects an object
behind the vehicle and the BCI system
detects an approaching vehicle at the
same time, the following indications are
provided:
— The sonar system chime sounds
— The side indicator light on the side of

the approaching vehicle flashes, and

— A yellow rectangular frame appears in

for the BCI system. Failure to operate

the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in serious
injury or death.

.

Always check your surroundings and
turn to check what is behind you
before backing up.

.

The radar sensors detect approach-
ing (moving) vehicles. The radar sen-
sors cannot detect every object such
as:

— Pedestrians, bicycles, animals or

child operated toy vehicles

— A vehicle that passing at speeds

greater than approximately 15
MPH (24 km/h)

.

The radar sensors may not detect
approaching vehicles in certain situa-
tions:

— Illustration a. When a vehicle

parked next to you obstructs the
beam of the radar sensor.

— Illustration b. When the vehicle is

parked in an angled parking space.

— Illustration c. When the vehicle is

parked on inclined ground.

— Illustration d. When an approach-

ing vehicle turns into your vehi-
cle’s parking lot aisle.

— Illustration e. When the angle

formed by your vehicle and ap-
proaching vehicle is small.

.

The following conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar sensors to
detect other vehicles:

transparent material), install acces-
sories or apply additional paint near
the radar sensors. These conditions
may reduce the ability of the radar
sensors to detect other vehicles.

.

The sonar sensors detect stationary
objects behind the vehicle. The sonar
sensor may not detect:

— Small or moving objects

— Wedge-shaped objects

— Object close to the bumper (less

than approximately 1 ft (30 cm))

— Thin objects such as rope, wire

and chain, etc.

.

The brake engagement by the BCI
system is not as effective on a slope
as it is on flat ground. When on a
steep slope the system may not
function properly.

.

Do not use the BCI system under the
following conditions because the sys-
tem may not function properly.

— When driving with a tire that is

not within normal tire conditions
(for example, tire wear, low tire
pressure, installation of spare tire,
