BLIND SPOT MONITOR SYSTEM


  1. DESCRIPTION


    1. The blind spot monitor system performs 2 functions using the same blind spot monitor sensors: blind spot monitor function and RCTA function.

    2. On models for Europe, the blind spot monitor system performs 2 functions using the same blind spot monitor sensors: blind spot monitor function and Rear Crossing Traffic Alert (RCTA) function*.


      • *: Models with RCTA function

    3. For except models for Europe, the blind spot monitor system performs 2 functions using the same blind spot monitor sensors: blind spot monitor function and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) function*.


      • *: Models with RCTA function

    4. The blind spot monitor function can be enabled or disabled using the blind spot monitor main switch. When the blind spot monitor main switch is turned on, the RCTA function can be turned off individually by using the RCTA customizing switch.

    5. The blind spot monitor system consists of the 2 blind spot monitor sensors, steering sensor, airbag sensor assembly, outer rear view mirror assembly LH and RH, door control buzzer (blind spot monitor buzzer)* , combination meter assembly and accessory meter etc.


      • *: Models with RCTA function

    6. The blind spot monitor function uses sensors to detect vehicles that are traveling in the vehicle's blind spot, helping the driver to confirm safety when changing lanes.

    7. If the RCTA function detects a vehicle in the rear side direction while the driver is reversing in a parking lot, the function alerts the driver by sounding the RCTA buzzer and flashing the outer rear view mirror indicators light to provide information for the driver, supporting decision making
