System Overview
Product Description
The Bendix ™ BlindSpotter ® Side Object Detection System is a pulse-modulated radar
system capable of detecting the presence of other vehicles along side of the host
vehicle, aiding the driver's ability to avoid collisions while merging into adjacent lanes
of traffi c.
A visual indicator, placed on the windshield pillar near the side view mirror provides
the driver with an additional tool for checking lane clearance next to the vehicle
before merging. When the driver signals to change lanes by activating the vehicle's
turn signal, the system will provide an audible tone along with a visual indication,
warning the driver that the lane next to the vehicle is not clear.
The BlindSpotter system is typically installed on the side opposite the driver, but can
be installed on both sides of the vehicle as well.
Note: Up to four sensors can be daisy chained to a single display unit for
applications that require an increased area of detection. Contact your OEM
parts dealer for information on purchasing additional sensors, brackets, and
harnessing.
