Opel Corsa: System limitations / Side blind spot alert
Side blind zone alert assist helps to
avoid crashes due to unintentional
lane departures when an object is
detected within a specified blind spot
zone.
The system displays a visual alert in
each exterior mirror, when detecting
objects that may not be visible in the
interior and exterior mirrors.
Side blind spot alert uses some of the
advanced parking assist sensors
which are located in the front and rear
bumper on both sides of the vehicle.
Warning
Side blind zone assistant system
is only a lane changing aid and
does not replace driver vision.
Side blind zone assistant does not
detect:
- Vehicles outside the side blind
zones which may be rapidly
approaching.

stationary vehicles, street
lights, road signs, etc.
Failure to use proper care when
changing lanes may result in
damage to the vehicle, injury, or
death. Always check the outside
and rearview mirrors, glance over
your shoulder, and use the turn
signal before changing lanes.

Man..
Smart brake assist provides a boost
to braking when the brake pedal is
quickly applied. The braking is based
on the speed of approach and
distance to a vehicle ahead.
Minor brake pedal pulsations or pedal
movement during this time is normal
and the brake pedal should continue
to be applied as needed. Intelligent
brake assist will automatically
disengage only when the brake pedal
is relea..
