Warnings when exiting the car
To make exiting the car safer, your car can warn you of traffic approaching from behind so that you don't open a door in its path.
When the car detects traffic that is about to pass close to the car's sides, such as approaching cyclists, vehicles or scooters, a light appears in the wing mirror. If you begin to open the door on the side of the detected traffic, the door opening alert intensifies and a sound alert can be heard along with the light in the wing mirror.
These alerts can be provided when the car is stationary or moving very slowly[1].
Door opening alerts can be turned on or off in settings.
Tip
Door opening alerts and blind spot information
Door opening alerts are indicated in a similar way to alerts about vehicles in your blind spot. These two features also rely on the same rear radars for detection of traffic. However, the features are enabled or disabled independently as they have separate use cases.
Limitations
The car uses its rear radar system to detect approaching traffic. Be sure to read about radar and detection conditions and limitations in their separate section of the manual.
Door opening alerts are supplements to safe user practices. The driver and passengers are fully responsible for making sure that the car doors can be safely opened.Important
