User's Manual

In addition to the functionality provided by the
Blind Spot Monitor (BSM), Closing vehicle
sensing monitors a larger area behind the
vehicle. Closing vehicle sensing is designed to
perform best on multi-lane motorways with
free-flowing traffic and is operational above 10
km/h (6 mph) in a forward gear.
1.
Closing vehicle sensing monitors an area
behind the vehicle, up to a distance of 70
m and approximately 2.5 m from each side
of the vehicle (the width of a typical
carriageway lane).
2.
If a vehicle is detected approaching rapidly,
an amber warning icon will flash in the
relevant exterior mirror to indicate that there
is a potential danger.
3.
When the detected vehicle reaches the area
monitored by the BSM, the amber warning
icon will illuminate continuously.
Note: If rapidly overtaking vehicles are detected
on both sides simultaneously, the warning icons
in both mirrors will flash.
Note: Closing vehicle sensing 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: Closing vehicle sensing is disabled when
the vehicle is negotiating a tight radius curve.
Note: When the BSM is disabled, Closing vehicle
sensing is also disabled. See 41, INSTRUMENT
PANEL MENU.
Note: This radar sensor is approved in all RTTE
countries.
BSM SENSORS
The BSM system will automatically disable if
either of the sensors become completely
obscured; an amber indicator dot (3) is
displayed in the exterior mirror and the message
BLIND SPOT MONITOR SENSOR BLOCKED
appears in the Message centre.
Note: Blockage testing is initiated only 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, 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.
