Concept
Blind spot collision warning detects vehicles in the blind spot or vehicles approaching from behind in the adjacent lane. A warning is issued in various gradations in these situations.
General information
Two radar sensors in the rear bumper monitor the area behind and next to the vehicle when traveling faster than a minimum speed.
The minimum speed is shown in the menu for the intelligent Safety systems.
The system indicates whether there are vehicles in the blind spot, arrow 1, or approaching from behind in the adjacent lane, arrow 2.
The light in the exterior mirror lights up dimmed.
Before you change lanes after setting the turn signal, the system issues a warning in the situations described above.
The light in the exterior mirror flashes and the steering wheel vibrates.
Vehicles with side collision mitigation: at speeds between 45 mph/70 km/h and 130 mph/210 km/h, the system can intervene with a brief active steering intervention and help to return the vehicle into the lane.
