1.5 WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN USING THE BENDIX
™
BLINDSPOTTER
®
SYSTEM
Tables 1 and 2 illustrate what to expect from the Bendix
™
BlindSpotter
®
system in various driving situations.
POWER-UP TEST
What to Expect at Vehicle Power-Up
Situation Typical System Indication/Alerts
At vehicle power-up (with no metal object within
the sensor’s detection zone).
• Both the red and yellow LEDs illuminate for a half-second as
a system self-test, followed by;
• The red LED remains on for a further 5 (ve) seconds as a
sensor self-test, followed by;
• The yellow LED illuminates and stays ON.
(Note: if, instead, a metal object is within the sensor’s detection
zone, the yellow LED will extinguish, and the red LED will
illuminate.)
TABLE 1 - POWER-UP TEST SEQUENCE
What to Expect During Vehicle Use
Situation
Typical System Indication/Alerts
Yellow
LED
Other Indicators
Normal driving (no other vehicle present
alongside).
ON None.
The driver passes a vehicle, or a vehicle enters
the sensor detection zone alongside the vehicle.
OFF The red LED will illuminate.
A guard-rail, or similar large metallic object, is
detected by the sensor.
OFF The red LED will illuminate.
The driver passes by any non-metallic object or
person (e.g. pedestrian, wooden structure, etc).
ON None; radar technology only detects metallic objects.
The driver activates the left turn signal, and the
sensor on the left side of the vehicle detects a
large metallic object.
Note: The sensor is wired to the turn signal on
the same side of the vehicle as the sensor is
mounted (e.g. A right-hand turn signal causes a
right-hand mounted display to illuminate the red
LED and sound a tone if a vehicle is detected).
OFF
The red LED will illuminate AND the alert tone will
sound on a left-mounted display unit.
Note: An alert tone will sound only once each time a
turn signal is activated.
WARNING
Any audible and/or visual alert by the system means that a
sizable, metallic (radar-reective) object has been detected
by the Bendix BlindSpotter system and the driver must
immediately act to potentially avoid, or lessen the severity
of, a collision.
The driver activates the turn signal (towards a
side of the vehicle with the Bendix BlindSpotter
system installed) with no vehicle in the detection
zone on that side.
ON None.
Both red and yellow LEDs remain illuminated. ON
A Diagnostic Trouble Code has been set. See the
Troubleshooting Section.
Power supply disconnected from Bendix
BlindSpotter
OFF None.

NOTE: These are typical situations and responses that may occur when using the Bendix BlindSpotter system. All
possible situations and responses may not be covered in this table.
