How Does Blind Spot Monitoring Work?
If equipped with the blind spot monitoring system, drivers will know the system is active when they start the engine and see both BSM warning lights activate on their external mirrors. The system will activate when the vehicle begins to move faster than 3.7 km/h, and covers about one average vehicle lane’s worth of detection space.
When Does Blind Spot Monitoring Warn Me?
Blind Spot Monitor in Alfa Romeo vehicles warns the driver of nearby vehicles using several indicators. When a vehicle enters the space to the left or right of your vehicle, a light will activate on the corresponding external mirror. Similarly, if the driver activates their turn signal in a direction currently occupied by another vehicle, the system will deliver visual and audible alerts to warn the driver.
Other Blind Spot Monitoring Tips
It’s important to note that blind spot monitoring features found in vehicles are not a replacement for checking blind spots with your own sight. Similarly, if the rear bumper sensors are obscured by bumper stickers or accessories like a bike rack, it can negatively impact the system’s accuracy.
