Read and observe
and
At a speed over 15 km/h, the area alongside and behind the vehicle is moni-
tored by the system. At the same time, the distance and the difference in
speed between your vehicle and the other vehicles in the monitored area can
be measured.
When driving, the sensors monitor an area to the left and right to the extent of
a normal lane width.
If a vehicle is detected in the "blind spot" area, the system indicates this vehi-
cle by the indicator light
in the exterior mirror.
System constraint
The system is unable to recognise the specific lane width by means of sensors.
Therefore this can e.g. in the following cases respond to a vehicle in a further
lane.
▶
When driving on a road with narrow lanes or on the lane edge.
▶
Driving around a bend.
The system may also respond to objects on the roadside such as crash barri-
ers, noise barriers or similar objects.
