Driving
Operation
Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor the blind spots.
The alert is given by an orange warning lamp
coming on in the relevant door mirror, as soon
as a vehicle – car, lorry, cycle – is detected.
The following conditions must be met for this:
Blind Spot Detection
This driving aid 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
relative distances and speeds of other
vehicles and to predict their movements
before deciding whether to change lane.
This system is a driving aid that cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
