Blind Spot Assist

Blind Spot Assist uses radar sensors to monitor the blind spot areas on both sides of the vehicle, and displays a warning on the side mirror if a vehicle is detected. If you then activate the turn signal to change lanes the system will provide an audible warning.

Lane Keeping Assist

Lane Keeping Assist uses a camera to monitor the road and detect when the vehicle is about to leave its lane so that it can provide the driver with a warning. Active Lane Keeping Assist can additionally use the brakes to help keep you in your lane.
