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

is only a lane changing aid and
does not replace driver vision.

zones which may be rapidly
approaching.

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
