Blind spot monitoring
51
The system uses a radar on each side of the
vehicle to identify any overtaking vehicle/object
within the blind spot area of the vehicle, while
disregarding other objects which may be
stationary or travelling in the opposite
direction, etc.
If an object is identified by the system as being
an overtaking vehicle/object, an amber
warning icon (1) illuminates in the relevant
exterior mirror, to alert the driver that there is a
potential hazard in the vehicle's blind spot and
therefore, that a lane change might be
dangerous.
The radar monitors the area extending from the
exterior mirror rearwards, to approximately 20
feet (6 metres) behind the rear wheels, and up
to 8.2 feet (2.5 metres) from the side of the
vehicle (the width of a typical highway lane).
Note: The system covers an area of a fixed lane
width. If the lanes are narrower than a typical
highway lane, objects travelling in
non-adjacent lanes may be detected.
BSM automatically switches on and becomes
active when the vehicle is travelling at more
than 10 mph (16 km/h) in a forward gear.
When the system initiates, it performs a
self-check, during which the warning icons in
the mirrors illuminate alternately for a short
period of time.
The indicator dot (2) remains illuminated until
forward vehicle speed exceeds 10 mph (16
km/h).
BSM can be turned off in the Vehicle Settings
area of the instrument panel menu. See 61,
INTERACTIVE CONTROLS.
BSM is designed to work most effectively when
driving on multi-lane highways.
Note: If an overtaking vehicle is detected on
both sides of the vehicle simultaneously, the
warning icons in both mirrors will illuminate.
Note: BSM is automatically turned off when
reverse (R) gear is selected, when the vehicle is
in park (P), the vehicle is travelling below 10
mph (16 km/h). Under these conditions, an
amber warning indicator within the exterior
mirror is displayed.
SENSOR BLOCKAGE
The BSM system will automatically disable if
either of the sensors become completely
obscured, an amber warning indicator dot (2)
is displayed in the exterior mirror and the
message BSM sensor blocked appears in the
message center.
Note: Blockage testing is only initiated when
vehicle speed is above 20 mph (32 km/h) and
will take at least two minutes of accumulated
time travelling above this speed, to determine
that the sensor is blocked.
If the sensors become blocked, then please
check that there is nothing obscuring the rear
bumper and that it is clear from ice, frost and
dirt.
BSM SYSTEM FAULT
If a fault with one of the radar sensors is
detected, an amber warning indicator dot is
displayed in the exterior mirror and the
message BSM not available is displayed in the
message center.
Note: Even if the detected fault only affects the
radar sensor on one side of the vehicle, the
whole system is disabled. If the fault is
temporary, the system will operate correctly
once the engine has been switched off and then
on again.
If a fault in the system occurs, consult your
Dealer/Authorized Repairer.
