what is bsi honda

The Blind Spot Information (BSI) System is a safety feature available in Honda vehicles that uses radar sensors to detect the presence of vehicles to the side and behind the vehicle to assist the driver during lane changes. The system works when the vehicle is moving forward at about 20 mph or above. A pair of sensors, one on each rear corner of the vehicle, can detect a vehicle in the drivers blind spot and issue an alert in the side mirror on the affected side when the system detects vehicles approaching from behind in adjacent lanes. The alert zones on each side initially extend from about 1.6 to 10 feet from the sides of the vehicle and about 10 feet behind the rear bumper, but as the vehicle is driven more on straight roads with traffic and roadside objects, the system will adapt and extend the alert zone. The BSI system is available in Honda Sensing® feature and EX and above models.
