1. Closing vehicle sensing monitors an
area behind the vehicle, up to a
distance of 70 m and approximately
2.5 m from each side of the vehicle
(the width of a typical carriageway
lane).
2. If a vehicle is detected approaching
rapidly, an amber warning icon flashes
in the relevant exterior mirror to
indicate that there is a potential
danger.
3. When the detected vehicle reaches
the area monitored by the BSM, the
amber warning icon illuminates
continuously.
Note: If rapidly overtaking vehicles are
detected on both sides simultaneously,
the warning icons in both mirrors flash.
Note: Closing vehicle sensing 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: Closing vehicle sensing is disabled
when the vehicle is negotiating a tight
radius curve.
Note: When the BSM is disabled, Closing
vehicle sensing is also disabled. See 49,
INSTRUMENT PANEL MENU.
Note: This radar sensor is approved in all
RTTE countries.
Note: Closing vehicle sensing is disabled
when a trailer is attached.
BSM SENSORS
The BSM system is automatically disabled
if either of the sensors become completely
obscured; an amber indicator dot is
displayed in the exterior mirror and the
message BLIND SPOT MONITOR
SENSOR BLOCKED appears in the
Message centre.
Note: Blockage testing is initiated only
when the vehicle's speed is above 10 km/
h (6 mph) and will take at least two
minutes of accumulated driving above this
speed, to determine that the sensor is
blocked.
If the sensors become blocked, check that
there is nothing obscuring the rear
bumper and that it is clear from ice, frost,
and dirt.
