and visual warnings when an object is
detected.
When an acoustic warning is sent, the
volume of the radio is lowered.
Blind Spot Assist "Sound &
Display" mode
When this mode is active, the BSA
system sends a visual warning to the
respective door mirror on the side of
the detected obstacle.
If the direction indicator on the side
where an obstacle has been detected
is activated, an acoustic warning is
emitted as well.
The volume of the radio is not turned
down.
During "RCP" operating mode, the
system emits acoustic and visual
indications if the presence of an object
is detected. When an acoustic warning
is sent the volume of the radio is also
turned down.
"Blind Spot Assist" system
deactivation
When the system is deactivated ("Blind
Spot" function set to "OFF" on the
instrument panel), the BSA or RCP
systems will not emit either acoustic

Trailer Detection
The system can detect the presence
and length of a trailer and extend the
blind spot warning zone to the length of
the trailer.
After the system detects the presence
of a trailer and the speed exceeds
10 km/h, a notification is sent to driver.
If a trailer is detected, the Rear Cross
Path function is deactivated.
The "Blind Spot" function on the
display Setup Menu can be used to
set the mode for detecting the trailer
length.
According to the set trailer length
detection mode, the corresponding
icon will be displayed:
with the "Max" setting selected.
The warning zone is set to the
maximum expected length (greater
than 9 metres);
, or with the "Auto"
setting selected. The system will
show an icon corresponding to the
automatically detected length (3 m,
6 m, 9 m). In this case, it may be
necessary to travel at least a curve
with a 90-degree rotation to let the
system detect the length of the trailer.
Once the length has been determined,
the icon corresponding to the length
measured in metres or feet will be
displayed depending on the selected
unit of measurement.
If the trailer is longer than 9 m, the
system will display the maximum length
icon and respective message.
If the vehicle is stationary for more than
120 seconds, the system detects the
trailer again:
if the trailer is no longer detected, the
icon indicating the presence and length
of the trailer disappears;
when set to "Auto", if a new trailer
is detected as present, with the same
length as the previous one (with an
error of 1 m), the length icon remains
unchanged;
When set to "Auto", if a new trailer is
detected as present, with a different
length from the previous one, the
length icon is updated.
