G12�Driver�Assistance�Systems
9.�Blind�Spot�Detection
35
The�Blind�spot�detection�system�can�detect�traffic�situations�that�could�pose�a�risk�if�the�driver
changes�lane.�These�traffic�situations�include�vehicles�approaching�quickly�from�behind�or�vehicles
in�the�driver's�blind�spot.
The�driver�may�find�it�difficult�to�judge�these�situations,�especially�when�it�is�dark.�The�radar�sensors
detect�vehicles�in�the�blind�spot�and�work�effectively�regardless�of�the�lighting�conditions.�In�addition,
they�are�able�to�reliably�detect�such�situations�up�to�a�distance�of�approximately�70�m�away�and
irrespective�of�the�weather�conditions.
G12�vehicle�detection�using�radar�sensors�(Blind�spot�detection)
When�a�vehicle�is�approaching�quickly�or�moves�into�the�blind�spot�of�the�driver's�vehicle,�the�system
assists�the�driver�by�correctly�judging�the�situation.�If�the�lane�next�to�the�driver's�vehicle�is�occupied,
the�radar�sensors�detect�the�vehicles�in�the�neighboring�lane.
The�control�units�(radar�sensors)�for�the�Blind�spot�detection�(SWW)�are�located�under�the�rear
bumper.

The�control�unit�for�the�Blind�spot�detection�(SWW)�(primary)�is�installed�on�the�right�and�the�control
unit�for�the�Blind�spot�detection�(SWW2)�(secondary)�is�installed�on�the�left.
When�a�vehicle�is�detected�and�the�system�is�activated,�the�driver�is�informed�of�the�situation�by�an
unobtrusive�indicator�in�the�exterior�mirror.�By�having�this�information�before�making�a�lane�change
maneuver,�the�driver�can�confidently�prepare�for�the�lane�change�and�avoid�critical�situations�from
