Blind spot monitoring
61
Please note that the Closing vehicle
detection system may not be able to
give adequate warning of vehicles
approaching very quickly from directly
behind the vehicle. Always use the
exterior and rear-view mirrors.
Make sure the warning indicators in the
exterior mirrors are not obscured by
stickers or other objects.
Do not attach stickers or objects to the
rear bumpers, that may interfere with
the radar sensors.
In addition to the functionality provided by the
Blind Spot Monitor (BSM), the Closing vehicle
detection system monitors a larger area behind
the vehicle (1). If a vehicle is identified by the
system as being a rapidly approaching vehicle
(2), the amber warning icon will flash in the
relevant mirror to indicate that there is a
potential hazard and therefore, that a lane
change might be dangerous. When the vehicle
reaches the area monitored by the BSM (3), the
amber warning icon will illuminate
continuously.
The radar monitors the area extending from the
exterior mirror rearwards, to approximately 70
metres (230 feet) behind the rear wheels, and
up to approximately 2.5 metres (8 feet) from
the side of the vehicle.
Note: This radar sensor is approved in all RTTE
countries.
Note: The system covers an area of a fixed lane
width. If the lanes are narrower than a typical
carriageway lane, objects travelling in
non-adjacent lanes may be detected.
Note: If a rapidly overtaking vehicle is detected
on both sides of the vehicle simultaneously, the
warning icons in both mirrors will flash.
Note: The Closing vehicle detection system is
disabled when a trailer is attached.
Note: When the BSM is disabled through the
Instrument panel menu, the Closing vehicle
detection system is also disabled. See 40,
INSTRUMENT PANEL MENU.
BSM SENSORS
The BSM system will automatically disable if
either of the sensors become completely
obscured, an amber warning indicator dot (2)
is displayed in the exterior mirror and the
message BLIND SPOT MONITOR SENSOR
BLOCKED appears in the Message centre.
Note: Blockage testing is only initiated when
the vehicle's speed is above 10 km/h (6 mph)
and will take at least 2 minutes of accumulated
driving above this speed, to determine that the
sensor is blocked.
If the sensors become blocked, then please
check that there is nothing obscuring the rear
bumper and that it is clear from ice, frost and
dirt.
If a fault with one of the radar sensors is
detected, an amber warning indicator dot is
displayed in the exterior mirror and the
message BLIND SPOT MONITOR NOT
AVAILABLE is displayed in the Message centre.
Note: Even if the detected fault only affects the
radar sensor on one side of the vehicle, the
whole system is disabled. If the fault is
temporary, the system will operate correctly
once the engine has been switched off and then
on again.
If a fault in the system occurs, consult a
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
