When the vehicle is stopped, if the driver or passenger opens any of the doors and a vehicle is approaching
quickly from the rear leading to a risk of collision, the system will alert the driver or passenger to watch
out for oncoming traffic and open the door carefully by flashing the corresponding side exterior rear view
mirror lamps accompanied by a warning sound.
You can set the DOW function alarm mode or turn off the function on the control panel.
PATH: Vehicle control - Advanced driving assist - Door opening warning (DOW)
CAUTION:
●
The DOW function is a driver assistance function and cannot replace direct visual observation.
Even if the DOW function is equipped, the driver or passenger must still actively observe the road
conditions before opening the door to avoid accidents. Drivers shall not rely solely on the DOW function
to remind themselves that there are objects or vehicles approaching quickly at the side and rear. Many
external factors can reduce the performance of DOW.
●
When the surrounding environment is noisy, for example, the noise outside the vehicle is too noisy, the
alarm sound may not be heard.
●
Only when the vehicle is stationary and any door is opened, the DOW function will work within 60s after
the door is opened.
