Door opening alerts
Door opening alerts are designed to warn you of passing traffic so that you don't open a door in its path. These alerts can be provided when the car is stationary or moving very slowly1.
When the car detects traffic that is about to pass close to the car's sides, a light appears in the wing mirror along. If you begin to open the door on the side of the detected traffic, the alert intensifies. A sound alert can occur along with the visual alerts depending on how urgent the warning is.
Tip
Door opening alerts and blind spot information
Door opening alerts are indicated in the same way as alerts about vehicles in your blind spot. These two features also rely on the same detection system.
Limitations
The car uses its rear-facing cameras to detect approaching traffic. Be sure to read the separate section of this manual about the limitations of camera detection.
