Overview
Blind Spot Information indicators
Indicator light
Blind Spot Information symbol
The indicator light illuminates on the side of the
vehicle where the system has detected another
vehicle. If your vehicle is passed on both sides at
the same time, both lights will illuminate.
Principle for Blind Spot Information: Zone 1. Blind area,
Zone 2. Area for approaching/passing vehicles
Blind Spot Information functions when your vehi-
cle is moving at speeds above approx. 6 mph
(10 km/h).
Blind Spot Information is designed to react to:
•
vehicles that are passing your vehicle
•
other vehicles that are rapidly approaching
your vehicle
When Blind Spot Information detects a vehicle in
zone 1 or a fast-approaching vehicle in zone 2,
the indicator light in the respective door mirror
will glow steadily.
If the driver then uses the turn signal on the side
on which the warning is given, the indicator light
will begin flashing and become brighter.
