your vehicle is about 6 mph (10
km/h) faster than the other vehi-
cle, the system will not warn you.

you. The driver may notice differ-
ent warning distances depending
on other vehicle’s speed.

approaching vehicle in the left or
right side, the system will warn
you. The driver may notice differ-
ent warning distances depending
on other vehicle’s speed.
