Many new cars are equipped with a number of advanced safety technologies. As such, some Lafayette, IN drivers have the benefit of collision avoidance cameras, automatic braking systems, and rear cross-traffic alerts. At Lewis Motor Sales Inc, we're excited to share several impressive benefits that blind-spot monitoring systems provide. With a blind-spot monitor, you can negotiate even the most congested roads both safely and confidently.
Both collision avoidance cameras and rearview cameras are designed to give drivers a clear view of everything that's behind them when backing up. If your vehicle lacks this technology, however, a blind-spot monitor has sensors that will detect obstructions you can't see. You'll then be given an audible warning with plenty of time to react.
Blind-Spot Monitors Provide Both Visible and Audible AlertsBlind-spot monitoring systems have sensors on the sides of the car and at the rear. They also have two ways of catching drivers' attention after obstructions have been detected. In addition to an audible alert, you'll also see a flashing warning light on your side mirror. This signal along with an audible chime will keep you from making any lane changes that put you at risk of collision.
