mode when the transmission is in (P)
Park mode.
The BSA detection zone shown in figure
covers approximately one lane on both
sides of the vehicle. The blind spot area
extends from immediately behind the
5
exterior rear-view mirrors up to behind
the rear bumper.
The BSA system monitors the detection
zones on both sides of the vehicle to
detect the presence of vehicles and
begins to warn the driver by flashing the
252
warning light in the rear view when the
vehicle speed reaches approximately 10
km/h (6 mph) or higher.
On the instrument cluster, in the main
menu area, vehicles in blind spot while
the turn indicator is active on the same
side of the detected object shall trigger
a bigger yellow glow appearing on
the same side of the detected object
(corresponds to feedback on the
external LED of rear view mirror lights up
flashed).
WARNING!
• The Blind Spot Assist (BSA) system
does NOT alert the driver about rapidly
approaching vehicles that are outside
the detection zones.
•
The BSA might alert the driver too
late especially in case of rapidly
approaching vehicles.
WARNING!
Risk of accident despite Blind Spot
Assist (BSA). BSA does not detect/react
to the following:
• Overtaking vehicles close on the
side, placing them in the blind spot
area. As a result, BSA may neither
give warnings nor intervene in such
situations.
• Always pay attention to the traffic
situation and maintain a safe distance
at the side of the vehicle.
NOTE:
If your vehicle has experienced any
damage in the area where the sensor
is located, even if the fascia is not
damaged, the sensor may have become
misaligned. Take your vehicle at the
Service Network to verify sensor
alignment. Having a sensor that is
misaligned will result in the BSA not
operating to specification.
The area on the rear bumper fascia
where the radar sensors are located
must remain free of snow, ice, and
dirt/road contamination so that the
BSA system can function properly. Do
not cover or block the area of the rear
bumper fascia where the radar sensors
are located with foreign objects (bumper
stickers, spoilers, bicycle racks, etc.).
