What is blind spot

monitoring?
Blind-spot monitoring uses a set
of sensors mounted on the side
mirrors or rear bumper to detect
vehicles in the adjacent lanes. If
the sensors detect something,
they'll alert you via an audible
and/or visual warning.

Some vehicles even use a

camera as the main part of the
system or to complement the
sensors. Other automakers like
Toyota, Hyundai, Honda, and
Subaru restrict them to upper
trims or more expensive
vehicles.

Systems Differ?
Ford and Ram both offer blind-
spot monitoring systems that
detect the trailer you've attached.
the feature becomes a highly
useful tool for pulling your
payload because the system
detects cars next to your trailer.

Systems Differ?
Another recent upgrade to blind-
spot monitoring is a warning to
actively helping the driver avoid a
potential collision. For example, if
the car you're driving detects a car
next to you when you're about to
change lanes, it can manipulate the
steering and brakes to try to avoid
a collision.

Is Blind-Spot Monitoring
Worth It?

Blind-spot monitoring is one of the most

useful tools for keeping safe. If you pay
attention to the audible or visual
warnings, they can minimize your
changes of merging into another vehicle

Is Blind-Spot Monitoring
Worth It?

Systems with collision prevention

functionality add further value to blind-
spot monitoring because they actively
steer or brake, adding another layer of
security during your drive.

Blind-Spot Monitoring System?

1. Find the location of the indicator lights. They're usually on the
side mirrors outside the cabin or inside the car, on the A-pillar
next to the window.
2. Check if you can change the warning chime's volume
3. Find out if the system includes rear cross-traffic alert or rear
cross-traffic braking. Both can provide added peace of mind
in busy parking lots when you're reversing and have limited
visibility.
