The Blind Spot Assist may not be able to detect narrow vehicles such as motorcycles or bicycles, or it may not detect them until it is too late. The monitoring function may be impaired if your sensors are dirty, subject to heavy spray, or if visibility is poor due to e.g. snow, rain, or fog. This can result in vehicles not being detected or being detected too late. The Blind Spot Assist cannot detect road, traffic and weather conditions. It is the driver's responsibility at all times to be attentive to road, weather and traffic conditions and to provide the steering, braking and other driving inputs necessary to retain control of the vehicle. Failure to do so could result in recognizing dangers too late, possibly resulting in an accident and serious injury to yourself and others.
