Using the blind spot detector
(BSD) with parking assist
ant
(RCTA)
Introduction
The blind spot detector (BSD) helps to de-
t
ect the traffic situation behind the vehi-
cle.
The integrated parking assistant (RCTA)
helps the driver when backing out of a
parallel parking spot and in manoeuvring.
The blind spot detector has been developed
for driving on paved roads.
WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into
the blind spot det
ector (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
r
eplacement 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 attention 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.
●
Never use the blind spot detector with
rear cross traffic alert on unpaved roads.
The blind spot detector with rear cross traf-
fic alert has been designed for use on
paved roads.
●
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-
sist
ant does not work as described in this
chapter, stop using it and contact a speci-
alised w
orkshop.
Control lamps
Control lamp in external rear view mirrors:
It lights up
It lights up once briefly: the blind spot detector is ac-
tiv
ated and ready to operate.
It lights up: blind spot detector has detected a vehi-
cl
e in the blind spot.
Flashes
The blind spot detector has detected a vehicle in the
blind spot and the t
urn signal has been turned on in
the direction of the detected vehicle
›››
.
For vehicles that are also equipped with Lane Assist
›››
page 275, a warning to switch lanes will also ap-
pear even though the turn signal has not been en-
gaged.
The control lamps light up when the ignition is
s
witched 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
