Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
System Operating Mode
- When starting the engine with the switch off, OFF mode is on.
- When pressing ON switch in OFF mode, Passive mode is on.
- If starting the engine with the switch ON, Passive mode is on.
* When IGN is ON, the switch is in the initial state: The last position is kept.
- If IGN OFF → ON with the switch ON, the switch is ON.
- If IGN OFF → ON with the switch OFF, the switch is OFF.
- If you start the engine with BSD switch ON, or if you turn on BSD with BSD switch OFF, the warning lamp of the door mirror flickers for 2 to 3 seconds.
This is to inform the driver that the BSD system is ready. (provided that if the system is in Fail mode, there is no flickering.)
- If the activation conditions (speed and curvature radius) are met while driving, Active mode is on (warning issued).
- If the activation conditions (speed and curvature radius) are not met while driving, Passive mode is on (warning removed).
- If BSD & LCA operation fails in any mode, Fail mode is on.
- If BSD & LCA operation operates normally in Fail mode, OFF mode is on.
- If pressing OFF switch while BSD & LCA function is operating (Active/Passive), OFF mode is on.
