Driving
Using the blind spot detector
(BSD) with parking assist
ant
(RC
TA)*
Introduction
The blind spot detector (BSD) helps to de-
tect the tr
affic situation behind the vehi-
cle.
The integrated parking assistant (RCTA)
helps the driver when backing out of a
parallel parking spot and in manoeuvring.
WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into
the blind spot detect
or (BSD) with parking
assistance (RCTA) included cannot over-
come the limits imposed by the laws of
physics; it only works within the limits of the
system. Accidents and severe injury may
occur if the blind spot detection system or
the rear cross traffic alert are used negli-
gently or involuntarily. The system is not a
replacement for driver awareness.
●
Adapt your speed and safe distance to
the vehicle in front of you at all times to suit
visibility, weather, road and traffic condi-
tions.
●
Keep your hands on the wheel at all times
to be ready to intervene in the steering at
any time.
●
Pay att
ention to the control lamps that
may come on in the external rear view mir-
rors and on the instrument panel, and fol-
low any instructions they may give.
●
The blind spot assistant could react to
any special constructions that might be
present on the sides of the vehicle: e.g. high
or irregular dividers. This may cause erro-
neous warnings.
●
Always pay attention to the vehicle's sur-
roundings.
●
The external rear view mirror control
lamps may have limited functionality due
to solar radiation.
Note
If the blind spot detector with parking as-
sistant does not w
ork as described in this
chapter, stop using it and contact a speci-
alised workshop.
Control lamps
Control lamp in external rear view mirrors:
It lights up
It lights up once briefly: the blind spot detector is ac-
tivat
ed and ready to operate.
It lights up: blind spot detector has detected a vehi-
cle in the blind spot.
Flashes
The blind spot detector has detected a vehicle in the
blind spot and the turn signal has been t
urned on in
the direction of the detected vehicle
›››
.
The control lamps light up when the ignition is
swit
ched on and should turn off after approxi-
mately 2 seconds. This is the time taken for
the function check.
If there are no indications from the control
lamp in the external rear view mirror, this
means that the blind spot detector has not
detected any other vehicles in the area
›››
.
If the dipped beam is on, then the contr
ol
l
amps in the external rear view mirrors will be
dimmed (night mode).
WARNING
If the warning lamps and the corresponding
messages are ignor
ed when they light up,
the vehicle may stall in traffic and cause
accidents and severe injuries.
●
Never ignore the warning lamps or mes-
sages.
●
Carry out the necessary operations.
CAUTION
Failure to heed the control lamps and cor-
responding t
ext messages when they light
up may result in damage to the vehicle.
