The BSI system in the 2018 Acura RLX uses radar sensors mounted on the rear bumper to detect vehicles in adjacent lanes. If a vehicle is detected in the blind spot, an indicator appears on the corresponding side mirror.
First, ensure that the sensors are clean and free from debris. If the problem persists, consult the vehicle's manual for troubleshooting steps or contact an Acura dealer for assistance.
Yes, the BSI system can be turned off using the vehicle's multi-information display settings. Consult the owner's manual for detailed instructions on how to disable the system.
False alerts can be caused by environmental factors such as heavy rain, snow, or ice covering the sensors. Other causes include driving close to barriers or guardrails.
The BSI system is typically operational at speeds over 20 mph. It may not function at lower speeds or when the vehicle is stationary.
It is advisable to check the sensors regularly, especially before long trips and after driving in adverse weather conditions, to ensure they are clean and unobstructed.
Damage to the rear bumper may affect the performance of the BSI system. It is important to have the sensors checked and recalibrated by a professional if the bumper is damaged.
The BSI system generally requires minimal maintenance apart from ensuring the sensors are clean. Regular vehicle maintenance checks should include a brief inspection of the sensors.
Yes, aftermarket modifications such as body kits or bumper stickers can obstruct or interfere with the sensors, potentially affecting the performance of the BSI system.
The BSI system often works alongside other driver-assist features such as Lane Keeping Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control to enhance overall driving safety.
