Acura 2013 MDX - Manual (Page 482)

BSI Operation
A: Approximately 1.6 ft. (0.5m)
B: Approximately 10 ft. (3m)
C: Approximately 10 ft. (3m)
BSI is designed to detect vehicles in
specified alert zones adjacent to your
vehicle, particularly in harder to see
areas commonly known as
‘‘blind spots.’’
When BSI detects a vehicle in an alert
zone, a BSI alert indicator comes on
near the corresponding outside
rearview mirror.
While your vehicle is moving forward
at a speed between 6 mph (10 km/h)
and 100 mph (160 km/h), the BSI alert
indicator comes on under either of the
following conditions:
● Another vehicle overtakes you,
entering the alert zone from behind,
at a speed that differs from your
vehicle's speed by no more than 31
mph (50 km/h).
● You pass a vehicle at a speed that
differs from that vehicle's speed by
no more than 12 mph (20 km/h).
The indicator comes on
approximately 2 seconds after the
vehicle enters the alert zone.
The system will not alert you to all
vehicles in blind spot zones (such as
vehicles you have just passed which
you should already be aware of) unless
it remains in the alert zone for
approximately 2 or more seconds.
While the system is on, BSI is active
whenever the shift lever is in the D or
S position.
