BLIND SPOT SENSORS


This driving assistance system warns
the driver of the presence of another
vehicle in the blind spot angle of their
vehicle (areas masked from the driver's
fi eld of vision), as soon as this presents
a potential danger.

Operation




)
On switching on the ignition, or en-
gine running, press this button to
activate the function; the warning
lamp comes on.

This system is designed to im-
prove safety when driving and is
in no circumstances a substitute
for the use of the interior rear
view mirror and door mirrors. It is
the driver's responsibility to con-
stantly check the traffi c, to asses
the distances and relative speeds
of other vehicles and to predict
their movements before deciding
whether to change lane.
The blind spot sensor system
can never replace the vigilance
and responsibility of the driver.
Sensors fi tted in the front and rear bum-
pers monitor the blind spots. A warning lamp appears in the door
mirror on the side in question:


- immediately, when being overtaken,

- after a delay of about one second,
when overtaking a vehicle slowly.
