Limited Operation and Service
Warning
The messages indicating on display
the limited functionality or service at
Service Networkcan be visualized on the
instrument cluster.
NOTE:
• The adjustment of the sensor could
be affected by strong shocks or light
collisions. This could affect the system
by reducing the systems performance
or could increase the false positive
rate.
• The camera, requires specific function
to detect objects. The detection
could be disturbed/ reduced by
environmental influences, for example
by electrical field or the object itself.
• When in “CORSA” or "ESC OFF" mode,
the FCW function is deactivated.
Blind Spot Assist - BSA
System Operation
The Blind Spot Assist (BSA) system
uses two radar-based sensors, located
inside the rear bumper fascia, to detect
highway licensable vehicles (cars, lorries,
motorbikes, etc.) that enter the blind
spot zones from the rear/front/side of
the vehicle in adjacent lines.
The example shown in the figure
highlights the blind spots on either side
of the vehicle when overtaking traffic is
approaching from behind.
When the vehicle is started, the BSA
warning light will momentarily illuminate
in both outside rear view mirrors to
let the driver know that the system is
operational and on. The BSA system
sensors operate when the vehicle is in
any forward gear and enters standby
mode when the transmission is in (P)
Park.
The BSA detection zone shown in figure
covers approximately one lane on both
sides of the vehicle (approximately 11 ft
or 3.3 m). The blind spot area extends
from immediately behind the exterior
rear-view mirrors up to about 23 ft (7 m)
behind the rear bumper.
The BSA system monitors the detection
zones on both sides of the vehicle to
detect the presence of vehicles and
begins to warn the driver by flashing the
warning light in the rear view mirror.
