At last! No more leaning forward, backward and from side to side to see from all angles in the driver’s seat. Don’t worry about looking over your left or right shoulder just to ‘see around’ those blind spots.

By monitoring the road to the side and rear of the vehicle, two small radars mounted on either side of the rear bumber act as ‘the eyes behind your head.’

How it works

Blind Spot Detection System is engaged by pressing a button on dashboard.
