monitoring
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids.
This system warns the driver of vehicles
approaching rapidly from the rear in adjacent
lanes (up to around 75 m) and of the presence of
a vehicle in the blind spots of their vehicle, using
corner radars located in the rear bumper.
This system takes into account vehicles
such as cars, lorries and motorcycles by
monitoring the blind spots or areas hidden
from the driver's field of vision.
