is system is designed to improve 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 constantly check the traffic, to assess the distances and relative speeds of
other vehicles and to predict their movements before deciding whether to change lane.
th

e blind spot monitoring system does not replace the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver. Activation of the system is done in
