Blind Spot Warning
Helps the driver avoid collisions by detecting vehicles in blind spots when changing lanes and disembarking
When the system detects a vehicle driving in an adjacent lane approaching the rear of the driver's vehicle — a common blind spot — it notifies the driver with an indicator. If the driver activates the turn signal in this situation or opening the doors when disembarking, the system alerts the driver with a chime and continuously flashes the indicator light to assist the driver in avoiding a collision.
System operation
While driving, if a vehicle is detected in the diagonal rear blind spot of an adjacent lane, an indicator near the side mirror lights up to alert the driver. If the turn signal is activated while a vehicle is detected in the diagonal rear blind spot, the indicator flashes and an audible warning is issued. On some models, the system can also detect vehicles or bicycles approaching from the diagonal rear when the car is stopped and will issue a warning if the door is opened.
The system uses radars installed at the rear sides of the vehicle to detect vehicles or bicycles in the diagonal rear area.
System mechanism
The system utilizes radar sensors located on the sides of the rear bumper to detect vehicles and bicycles in adjacent detection zones.
