Starting and Driving
and enters standby mode when the
transmission is in (P) Park.
The BSA detection zone shown in
figure covers approximately one
lane on both sides of the vehicle
(approximately 11 ft or 3.3 m).
The blind spot area extends from
immediately behind the exterior
rear-view mirrors up to about 23 ft (7
m) behind the rear bumper.
The BSA system monitors the detection
zones on both sides of the vehicle to
detect the presence of vehicles and
begins to warn the driver by flashing
the warning light in the rear view
mirror.
If the driver is turning in the same
direction of the danger, using the left
multifunction lever, the system will
activate an audible chime together
with the flashing light in the rear view
mirror.
WARNING!
•
The Blind Spot Assist (BSA) system
does NOT alert the driver about
rapidly approaching vehicles that are
outside the detection zones.
•
The BSA might alert the driver too
late especially in case of rapidly
approaching vehicles.
WARNING!
Risk of accident despite Blind Spot
Assist (BSA).
BSA does not detect/react to the
following:
• Overtaking vehicles close on the
side, placing them in the blind spot
area. As a result, BSA may neither
give warnings nor intervene in such
situations.
•
Always pay attention to the traffic
situation and maintain a safe
distance at the side of the vehicle.
NOTE:
If your vehicle has experienced any
damage in the area where the sensor
is located, even if the fascia is not
damaged, the sensor may have
become misaligned. Take your vehicle
at an
Authorized Maserati Dealer
to verify sensor alignment. Having a
sensor that is misaligned will result in
the BSA not operating to specification.
The area on the rear bumper fascia
where the radar sensors are located
must remain free of snow, ice, and
dirt/road contamination so that the
BSA system can function properly. Do
not cover or block the area of the rear
bumper fascia where the radar sensors
are located with foreign objects
(bumper stickers, spoilers, bicycle racks,
etc.).
The BSA system notifies the driver of
vehicles or objects in the detection
zones by illuminating the BSA warning
light located in the outside mirrors
in addition to sounding an audible
(chime) alert and reducing the radio
volume (if the radio is on). Refer to
“BSA and RCP Setting” in this chapter
for further information.
