Nissan Maxima Owners Manual: Blind Spot Warning (BSW) (if so equipped)
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions for proper use of the BSW system could result in serious injury or death.
- The BSW system is not a replacement for proper driving procedures and is not designed to prevent contact with vehicles or objects. When changing lanes, always use the side and rear mirrors and turn and look in the direction your vehicle will move to ensure it is safe to change lanes. Never rely solely on the BSW system.
The BSW system helps alert the driver of other vehicles in adjacent lanes when changing lanes.
The BSW system uses radar sensors 1 installed near the rear bumper to detect other vehicles in an adjacent lane.
Detection zone
The radar sensors can detect vehicles on either side of your vehicle within the detection zone shown as illustrated. This detection zone starts from the outside mirror of your vehicle and extends approximately 10 ft (3.0 m) behind the rear bumper, and approximately 10 ft (3.0 m) sideways.
