an audible alert is requested, the radio
(if on) is also muted.
Right/left turn/hazard signal status
is ignored; the RCP status always
requests the chime when needed.
Blind Spot Assist Off
When this function is turned off from
the MIA, there will be no visual or
audible alerts from either the BSA or
RCP subsystems.
NOTE:
The BSA system will store the current
operating mode when the vehicle
is shut off. Each time the vehicle is
started, the previously-stored mode
will be recalled and used.
System Temporarily Unavailable
The blind spot system will become
temporarily unavailable and the
instrument cluster display will show
the message "Blind Spot Alert
Temporarily Unavailable" when the
vehicle enters a radio quite zone
(example the areas around radio
telescopes).
The warning light on the outside rear-
view mirrors will be lit up and stay lit
until the vehicle exits the zone.
System in Faulty
The BSA system cannot properly
operate due to a fault of its
components, or because the area on
the rear bumper fascia where the
radar sensors are located is dirty.
In these cases the amber warning
light and the related message will be
displayed on the instrument cluster.
In these cases avoid using the system
and have the vehicle inspected at the
Service Network.

Active Blind Spot Assist -
ABSA ( , with ACC only)
ABSA system represents an addition
to the BSA previously described (see
chapter "Blind Spot Assist - BSA" of
this section).
ABSA adds to the BSA the possibility in
certain circumstances to avoid and or
mitigate side collisions with vehicles
proceeding in the adjacent lanes by
changing the car trajectory in order
to try to keep it inside the detected/
estimated lane. A steering wheel
vibration is used as further feedback to
warn the driver that the lane change is
not safe.
The main logic core is the front radar,
whereas the sense inputs are the
radars on the rear bumper fascia
used for sensing the presence of
vehicle in the blind spot areas and
the forward facing camera placed
behind the internal rear-view mirror
that instead is used for lane detection
and estimation.
ABSA is designed to avoid and/or
mitigate a collision. Torque and
vibration application is however
available in the 60 - 180 km/h (37 - 112
mph) speed interval. All the speed
thresholds related to the BSA remain
