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 vehicle is stationary or moving very slowly1.
When the vehicle detects traffic that is about to pass close to its sides, a light appears in the door mirror. If you begin to open the door on the side of the detected traffic, the alert intensifies. An audible 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 shown in the same way as blind spot alerts. These two features rely on the same detection system.
Limitations
The vehicle 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.
