bumpers.
Operating conditions

– All vehicles are moving in the same direction
and in adjacent lanes.
– The speed of your vehicle must be between 7
and 87 mph (12 and 140 km/h).
– When overtaking a vehicle, the speed
difference is less than 6 mph (10 km/h).
– When overtaken by a vehicle, the speed
difference is less than 16 mph (25 km/h).
– Traffic is flowing normally.
The following situations may interfere
with the operation of the system or
prevent it from working:
– lane markings absent, worn, hidden (snow,
mud) or multiple (roadworks);
– close to the vehicle ahead (lane markings
not detected);
– roads that are narrow, winding, etc.
– Overtaking a vehicle over a certain period of
time and the vehicle being overtaken remains in
the blind spot.
– You are driving on a straight or slightly curved
road.
The warning is given by a fixed warning lamp
that appears in the door mirror on the side in
question:
– immediately, when being overtaken;
– after a delay of about one second, when
overtaking a vehicle slowly.
Blind Spot Monitoring

vehicles, safety rails, lampposts, signs).
– vehicles travelling in the opposite direction.

The system may be temporarily disturbed
by certain climatic conditions (e.g. rain,
hail).
In particular, driving on a wet road or going
from a dry to a wet area can cause false
alerts (e.g. presence of a cloud of water
droplets in the blind spot interpreted as a
vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered by mud, ice or snow.
No alert is triggered in the following conditions:
