Note: On vehicles with automatic
transmission, the system is active only in
D and N.
The system is only active when you
exceed 10 km/h (6 mph). The system is
temporarily deactivated when you select
reverse gear.
System detection and alerts
The system will trigger the alert for
vehicles that enter the blind spot zone
from the rear or merge from the side.
Vehicles that you pass, or vehicles that
enter the blind spot zone from the front,
will only trigger the alert after the vehicle
has remained in the blind spot zone for a
short period of time.
Note: Vehicles that pass through the
blind zone quickly (typically less than 2
seconds) will not trigger the alert.
The system consists of two radar sensors
each located behind the rear wheels
hidden behind the bumpers.
CAUTIONS
Do not place items such as bumper
stickers in this area.
Repairs to these areas using body
filler will affect the performance of the
system.
