This 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.
Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor the blind spots.
The blind spot sensor system can never
replace the need for vigilance on the
part of the driver.
