Side Blind Spot Alert - Opel Vivaro C 2023 Manual

Performance of the parking assist
system can be reduced due to
heavy loading.
Special conditions apply if there
are taller vehicles in the vicinity
(e.g. off-road vehicles, mini vans,
vans). Object identification and
correct distance indication in the
upper part of these vehicles
cannot be guaranteed.
Objects with a very small reflection
cross-section, e.g. objects of
narrow size or soft materials, may
not be detected by the system.
Parking assist systems do not
detect objects outside the
detection range, e.g. below the
bumper or underneath the vehicle.
During a reverse parking
manoeuvre, the system does not
consider a mounted coupling ball
bar. The driver has to consider this
additional length.
Note
It is possible that the sensor detects
a non-existing object caused by
echo disturbance from external
acoustic noise or mechanical
misalignments (sporadic false
warnings may occur).
Make sure that the front number
plate is properly mounted (not bent
and no gaps to the bumper on the left
or right side) and the sensors are
firmly in place. The performance of
the parking assist may be reduced if
the license plate is bent or a license
plate support is used.
Low curbs and surface irregularities,
e.g. on construction zones, are not
detected by the system. The driver
accepts responsibility.

Side blind spot alert

The side blind spot alert system
detects and reports objects on either
side of the vehicle, 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
parking assist sensors which are
located in the front and rear bumper
on both sides of the vehicle.
