Function of control of blind zones in mirrors. How it works?

The radar-based driver assistance function helps to detect the vehicle in the so-called blind spot, i.e. where the exterior mirrors and side windows do not provide a complete view.

Such zones are the result of the shape of the body and cannot be completely eliminated for structural reasons. Radars located at the rear of the vehicle monitor the area behind the vehicle and to the sides. This feature monitors the distance and speed of other vehicles in the vicinity to determine if the driver should be warned. If the car is found in the so-called. "Blind zone", warning signals appear in the upper corner of the exterior mirrors. Importantly, Blind Spot Detect is already working at speeds over 15 km/h.

Types of hybrid drives

Skoda has used Blind Spot Detect radar sensors in the mirrors to improve safety even when the driver is reversing from a place with limited visibility. Radar sensors in the rear bumper detect the approach of other vehicles; Based on this information, the Rear Traffic Alert function warns the driver of a possible danger of a collision both visually (on the screen of a multimedia device or Maxi Dot display) and acoustically, and when the situation requires it, actively counteracts the danger by stopping the car. . To improve safety, Blind Spot Detect and Rear Traffic Alert functions are interconnected - it is impossible to equip a car with only one of them.

The solutions under consideration will be included in the list of available options for the restyled Skoda Fabia model. So far they are available for the following models: Karoq, Kodiaq, Superb and Octavia.
