BSA in Visual Mode
When operating in “Visual” mode, the
BSA system will provide a visual alert
in the appropriate side view mirror
when it detects a vehicle or an object
in the detection areas monitored by its
sensors: depending on the status of
the relative turn indicator, the warning
light can be fixed or flashing. However,
when the system is operating in RCP
mode, it will respond with both visual
and audible alerts when an oncoming
vehicle or an object approaching the
rear end side of the vehicle is detected.
Whenever an audible alert is
requested, the radio is muted (if the
radio is on).
BSA in Visual and Acoustic Mode
When operating in “Visual & Acoustic”
mode, the BSA system will provide a
visual alert in the appropriate side
view mirror based on a detected
vehicle or object. If the turn signal is then activated, and
it corresponds to an alert present on
that side of the vehicle, an audible
chime will also be sounded: in the
same moment the warning light will
start flashing.
Whenever a turn signal and detected
vehicle or object are present on the
same side at the same time, both the
visual and audio alerts will be issued.
In addition to the audible alert, the
radio volume will be reduced (if the
radio is on).
NOTE:
If the hazard flashers are on, the BSA
system will issue the appropriate visual
alert only.
When the system is in RCP mode, the
system shall respond with both visual
and audible alerts when a detected
vehicle or object is present. Whenever an audible alert is requested, the radio
(if on) is also muted.
Right/left turn/hazard signal status is
ignored; the RCP status always
requests the chime.
Blind Spot Alert Off
When this function is turned off from
the MTC+, there will be no visual or
audible alerts from either the BSA or
RCP subsystems.
NOTE:
The BSA system will store the current
operating mode when the vehicle is
shut off. Each time the vehicle is
started, the previously-stored mode
will be recalled and used.
System Temporarily Unavailable
The blind spot system will become
temporarily unavailable and the
instrument cluster display will show
the message “Blind Spot Alert
Temporarily Unavailable” when the
vehicle enters a radio quite zone
(example the areas around radio
telescopes).
The warning light on the outside
rear-view mirrors will be lit up and stay
lit until the vehicle exits the zone.Driving
