Information stage
The dimmed lamp in the mirror housing indicates when there are vehicles in the blind spot or approaching from behind.
Warning
If the turn signal is set while a vehicle is in the critical zone, the steering wheel vibrates briefly and the lamp in the mirror housing flashes brightly.
The warning stops when the turn signal is switched off, or the other vehicle leaves the critical zone.
