Range Rover Evoque - CLOSING VEHICLE SENSING

The radar monitors the area extending
from the exterior mirror rearwards, to
approximately 6 m behind the rear wheels
and up to 2.5 m from the side of the
vehicle (the width of a typical carriageway
lane). The BSM is designed to work most
effectively when driving on multi-lane
roads.
Note: This radar sensor is approved in all
RTTE countries.
Note: The system covers an area of a fixed
lane width. If the lanes are narrower than
a typical carriageway lane, objects
travelling in non-adjacent lanes may be
detected.
Note: If vehicles are detected on both
sides simultaneously, the warning icons in
both mirrors flash.
The BSM automatically switches on and
becomes active when the vehicle is
travelling at more than 10 km/h (6 mph)
in a forward gear. When the system
initiates, it performs a self-check, during
which the warning icons in the mirrors
illuminate alternately for a short period of
time.
The indicator dot (3) remains illuminated
until the vehicle's forward speed exceeds
10 km/h (6 mph).
The BSM is automatically disabled and an
amber warning indicator dot is displayed
in the exterior mirrors when:
• Reverse (R) gear is selected.
Note: When Reverse Traffic Detection
(RTD) is fitted, all of the mirror icons
switch off when R is selected.
• Park (P) is selected for vehicles with
automatic transmission.
• The vehicle's speed is below 6 km/h
(4 mph).
The BSM can be enabled or disabled
through the Instrument panel menu. See
49, INSTRUMENT PANEL MENU.
Note: The BSM is disabled when a trailer
is attached.
CLOSING VEHICLE SENSING
Closing vehicle sensing is a
supplement to, not a replacement
for, a safe driving style and use of
the exterior and rear-view mirrors.
Closing vehicle sensing does not
give a warning of vehicles
approaching from directly behind
the vehicle. Always use the
exterior and rear-view mirrors.
The radar sensors may be
impaired by mud, rain, frost, ice,
snow, or road spray. This may
affect the system's ability to
reliably detect an approaching
vehicle.
Closing vehicle sensing will not
correct errors of judgement in
driving.
Make sure that the warning
indicators in the exterior mirrors are
not obscured by stickers or other
objects.
Do not attach stickers or objects to
the rear bumper, that may interfere
with the radar sensors.
In addition to the functionality provided
by the Blind Spot Monitor (BSM), Closing
vehicle sensing monitors a larger area
behind the vehicle. Closing vehicle
sensing is designed to perform best on
multi-lane motorways with free-flowing
traffic and is operational above 10 km/h
(6 mph) in a forward gear.
