At Jim Manning Dodge Chrysler Jeep we believe that drivers in Dinuba should understand the safety features on a vehicle. A blind-spot monitor is included on many vehicles today, and it can be very helpful in keeping you safe. Here's how it works.
Many vehicles are equipped with sensors, cameras, or both. These systems are used to spot objects in your car's path that may be outside of your field of vision. Every driver has a blind spot, usually in the rear. Every year many accidents occur when drivers fail to notice vehicles or even pedestrians in a blind spot.
An alarm is triggered by a blind-spot monitor that gives the driver time to stop. The alarm may be indicated on the dash, or there can even be a setting to make the alarm audible. The few seconds a blind-spot monitor can offer is sometimes enough to prevent a tragedy.
