BLIND SPOT ASSIST (IF EQUIPPED)
WHAT IS BLIND SPOT ASSIST
Blind spot assist is an extension of the lane
keeping system.
It may help you identify adjacent vehicles
during a lane change.
Blind spot assist provides a blind spot
warning and steering assistance to help
you become aware of and steer away from
vehicles in your blind spot during lane
changes.
HOW DOES BLIND SPOT ASSIST
WORK
Activate and deactivate the
system using the lane keeping
system button on the steering
wheel.
During lane changes, the design of the
blind spot assist feature detects vehicles
in, or approaching, your blind spot and
provides a warning, plus steering
assistance to direct your vehicle back into
your lane.
When active, this system functions with or
without the use of turn signals and hazard
flashers.
You must keep your hands on the steering
wheel at all times.

lane keeping system also apply to blind
spot assist.
