Is there a audible alert in addition to the BSIS mirror light, that is triggered at some point?
The manual says mirror light will illuminate when another vehicle enters the zone on either side and will flash if you veer in that direction. But nothing about any audible warning. The reason I ask this is my wife was slowly creeping in traffic when a MC lane split beside her (which is illegal here). The truck gave a audible and flashed something on the center screen, however she was looking to see what was happening around her and not at the warning. The BSIS is only supposed to be active above 6mph, so this may or may not have been the case. I was wondering if it was the BSIS giving the warning or another sensor. Anybody have another vehicle or MC that near in slow (or fast) traffic?

I have the same model and package you have. Mine has never given an audible warning.

Nope...no audible...just the light indicator in the mirror.

Sounds like Pre-Collision Assist went off.
