The system indicates whether there are vehicles in the blind spot, arrow 1, or approaching from behind on the adjacent lane, arrow 2.
The lamp in the exterior mirror housing lights up dimly.
Before you change lanes after setting the turn signal, the system issues a warning in the situations described above.
