Side blind spot alert

Side blind spot alert assist helps to
avoid crashes due to unintentional
lane departures when an object is
detected within a specified blind spot
zone.
The system displays a visual alert in
each exterior mirror, when detecting
objects that may not be visible in the
interior and exterior mirrors.
Side blind spot alert uses some of the
advanced parking assist sensors
which are located in the front and rear
bumper on both sides of the vehicle.
9 Warning
Side blind spot alert is only a lane
changing aid and does not replace
driver vision.
Side blind spot alert does not
detect:
● Vehicles outside the side blind
zones which may be rapidly
approaching.
● Pedestrians or animals.
● Non-moving objects, e.g.
stationary vehicles, street
lights, road signs, etc.
Failure to use proper care when
changing lanes may result in
damage to the vehicle, injury, or
death. Always check the outside
and rearview mirrors, glance over
your shoulder, and use the turn
signal before changing lanes.
Activation
The system can be activated via the
vehicle settings menu in the Info
Display.

Functionality

the side blind zone while driving
forwards, an LED will illuminate in the

lights of the relevant side are
activated, the LED will flash.
The LED comes on immediately when
your vehicle is being passed.
The LED comes on after a delay when
your vehicle is passing another
vehicle slowly.
