Side Blind Spot Alert (SBSA)
The side blind spot alert assist helps to
avoid crashes due to unintentional lane
departures when an object is detected
within a specified blind spot zone. The
system displays a visual alert in each
exterior mirror, when detecting objects
that may not be visible in the interior
and exterior mirrors. Side blind spot
alert uses some of the advanced parking
assist sensors which are located in the
front and rear bumper on both sides of
the vehicle.
Warning
Side blind spot alert is only a lane
changing aid and does not replace
driver vision. Side blind spot alert does
not detect:
● vehicles approaching very rapidly
● pedestrians or animals
● non-moving objects, e.g. stationary
vehicles, street lights, road signs, etc.
Failure to use proper care when
changing lanes may result in damage
to the vehicle, injury or death. Always
check the outside and rearview mirrors,
glance over your shoulder and use the
turn signal before changing lanes.
Activation
The system can be activated in the
vehicle settings menu on the by using the
steering wheel controls.
Functionality
When the system detects a vehicle in the
side blind zone while driving forwards, an
LED will illuminate in the relevant exterior
mirror. If the turn lights of the relevant
side are activated, the LED will flash.
The LED comes on immediately when
being passed.
The LED comes on after a delay when
passing another vehicle slowly.
Operation conditions
The following conditions must be fulfilled
for proper operation:
● all vehicles are moving in the same
direction and in adjacent lanes
