Question 6612
One of the purposes of the "Blind Spot Information and Monitoring System (BSIS-BSM)" is...
- to prevent collisions with pedestrians or vehicles.
- to prevent the occupants from leaving the vehicle and walking on the roadway in an emergency.
- to keep the vehicle from rolling backward when starting on a hill.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: to prevent collisions with pedestrians or vehicles.
The blind spot system uses sensors to monitor the areas alongside the car that you can’t see in the mirrors. If a vehicle or pedestrian is there, it warns you, usually with a light in the mirror on that side, to help prevent a collision or hitting a pedestrian. In the image, the white passenger car has its left turn signal on while a blue car is alongside it in that lane, and a warning like this helps the driver avoid changing lanes. Preventing the car from rolling backward on a hill is Hill Holder’s job.
