Blind Spot Assist

If a vehicle is detected at speeds above approximately 30 km/h

(18 mph) and enters the monitoring range directly next to your

vehicle, the warning lamp in the exterior mirror will illuminate

amber. If a vehicle is detected close to your vehicle in the lateral

monitoring range and you switch on the turn signal indicator in

that direction the amber warning lamp in the outside mirror will

flash. If the turn signal indicator remains on, all other detected

vehicles are indicated only by the flashing of the amber warning

lamp. If you overtake a vehicle quickly, no warning is given.

Warning: Blind Spot Assist is for visual aid only and does

not replace the need for driver awareness. It is the driver's

responsibility to be aware of their surroundings and make

sure it is safe to complete a lane change. Always make sure

that there is a suitable distance to the side of your vehicle for

other road users and obstacles.

Warning: The Blind Spot Assist system can not react to

vehicles which approach and overtake you at a greatly

different speed. In these situations, the Blind Spot Assist

system cannot provide warning to drivers. Always pay

attention to the road traffic around you.

The system can monitor vehicles when driving around curved

roads.

Blind Spot Assist is used to help a driver know if a vehicle is in

their blind spot so that a lane change action can be safely

completed.

The BSA system uses two rear-facing radar units to monitor the

area up to 3.5 m (12 ft) behind your vehicle and 3 m (10 ft)

directly next to your vehicle.

subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not

cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any

interference received, including interference that may cause

undesired operation.

The Door Exit Warning function is a subfunction of the BSA

system and detects if a vehicle or bicycle is passing that may come

into contact with the door when it is opened.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the

limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC

Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection

against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in

a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and

can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used

in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful

interference to radio communications. Operation of this

equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful

interference in which case the user will be required to correct the

interference at his own expense.

When the door is opened₁the BSA radars will check for any

approaching vehicles. If there is a risk of collision, then audible

warning will be heard as the door is opened. In addition, if a front

door is opened then the BSA warning triangles will be illuminated

in the door mirrors.

Opened is classed as when door ajar switch is activated and the

interior lamps are switched on.

Lane Keep Assist is only available at speeds between

60 km/h (37 mph) and 200 km/h (125 mph).

Lane Keep Assist uses the multi purpose camera and the vehicle

radar systems to detect lane markings in front of the vehicle. Lane

Keep Assist will first warn if you leave your lane with a vibration

through the steering wheel. If you do not react to the warning, the

vehicle will briefly brake on one side to pull the vehicle back into

the correct lane.

Steering Wheel Warning

If one of the front wheels passes over a lane marking, a warning

will be given by an intermittent vibration from the steering wheel.

This warning can occur earlier, for example if you begin to

approach the other lane marking when on a bend or are on wider

lanes such as a motorway.
