with Trailer Detection)
SYSTEM
The vehicle can be equipped with the
BSA (Blind Spot Assist with Trailer
Detection) system for blind spot
monitoring. The BSA system uses two
radar sensors, located in the rear side
bumper (one on each side) fig. 165, to
detect the presence of vehicles (cars,
trucks, etc.) in blind spots in the rear
side zone of the vehicle, while driving
on the road and while reversing (RCP
functionality).
165
F1A0480
The system warns the driver about the
presence of vehicles in the detection
area by lighting up, on the relevant
side, the warning light located on the
door mirror, along with an acoustic
warning. When the vehicle is started
the warning light turns on to signal the
driver that the system is active.
Sensors
The sensors are activated when any
forward gear is engaged at a speed
higher than about 10 km/h, or when
reverse is engaged.
The sensors are temporarily
deactivated with vehicle at a standstill
and the gear lever in position P (Park)
(versions with automatic transmission),
or with vehicle at a standstill and
parking brake engaged (versions with
manual transmission).
In no trailers are connected, the
detection area of the system covers
about a lane on both sides of the
vehicle (approx. 3 metres).
Such zone begins near the centre pillar
of the vehicle and extends up to 6
metres from the rear of the vehicle.
When the sensors are active the
system monitors the detection areas on
both sides of the vehicle and warns the
driver about the possible presence of
cars in these areas.
While driving the system monitors the
detection area from three different input
points (side, rear and front) to check
whether a signal needs to be sent to
the driver.
WARNINGS
The system does not signal the
presence of fixed object (e.g. safety
barriers, poles, walls, etc.). However,
in some circumstances, the system
may activate in the presence of these
objects. This is normal and does not
indicate a system malfunction.
The system does not warn the driver
about the presence of vehicles coming
from the opposite direction, in the
adjacent lanes.
For the system to operate correctly,
the side rear bumper area fig. 165
where the radar sensors are located
must stay free from snow, ice and dirt
gathered from the road surface.
