⇒Tips and troubleshooting
Depending on vehicle equipment, the vehicle may be equipped with the Blind Spot Monitor system.
The Blind Spot Monitor assists the driver by using radar sensors to monitor the traffic in the blind spot
detection area as well as traffic behind the vehicle. The system measures the distance and the speed
difference to the other vehicles around you. If the Blind Spot Monitor detects one or more vehicles in
the monitored area, indicator lights come on in the outside mirrors.
Physical and system limitations
The Blind Spot Monitor is only designed for use on paved roads.
In certain situations, the Blind Spot Monitor may not interpret the traffic situation correctly. These situ‐
ations may include:
When driving around sharp curves.
When driving between two lanes.
When the width of the lanes is not the same.
When driving at the top of a hill.
When the weather conditions are poor.
When certain types of equipment are on the side of the road, such as high or offset guard rails.
WARNING
The Blind Spot Monitor cannot overcome the laws of physics and limits of the system. Careless
or unintentional use of the Blind Spot Monitor may result in accidents and serious injuries.
The Blind Spot Monitor is not a substitute for careful and attentive driving.
Always adjust your driving style to road, traffic, weather, and visibility conditions.
Always keep both hands on the steering wheel so that you are prepared to steer at any time.
Pay attention to and heed the indicator lights in the outside mirrors and in the instrument clus‐
ter display.
The Blind Spot Monitor may react to certain equipment installed on the side of the road, such
as high or offset guardrails. False warnings may result.
