Function failure
When the RCTA function fails (for example,
faulty rear corner radar sensor), the BSD
indicator lamp (orange) goes on or the
lower left corner of the omni-directional early
warning assist indicator lamp lights up in orange
( , or ). In this case, contact the
authorized dealer for inspection.
Door opening warning (DOW)*
After the vehicle stops properly, when the
occupants open the doors or get off the vehicle,
if the sensors detect the danger of collision with
moving vehicles behind on either side, the DOW
will remind the driver and passengers of danger
in door opening or getting off through the
indicator lamps on the exterior rearview mirrors
and audible warnings.
When the ENGINE START/STOP button is in
“ON” position after the vehicle stops properly, or
in 3 minutes after the ENGINE START/STOP
button is switched from “ON” to “OFF” with the
vehicle in unlocked state, the DOW function
works.
When the DOW detects that there are
approaching vehicles, bicycles, etc. in the
adjacent lanes and there is a risk in opening the
door of the vehicle, the indicator lamp on the
exterior rearview mirror on the target side lights
up; if the driver and passengers continue to open
the door at this time, the indicator lamp will flash,
accompanied by an audible alarm, indicating that
it is dangerous to continue opening the door.
CAUTION
The DOW is only a driver assistance system,
which cannot be suitable for all driving
situations. The driver must always have
control on the vehicle and take full
responsibility for the vehicle.
Enabling/disabling DOW
Each time the ENGINE START/STOP button is
set to “ON” position, the DOW will keep the state
in which the ENGINE START/STOP button is set
to “OFF” position last.
The DOW can be enabled/disabled through the
“System settings” – “Vehicle” – “Driving
assistance” – “Rear side warning assist” –
“DOW” menu on the MP5 display.
