Blind Spot Detection in HUD display

[Mcc]

works at any speed above 0, doesn't work if you are stopped. I have seen it highlight when accelerating from a stop light. I believe however it requires the object in the blind spot to also be moving.

This may be true on your G80 but I would be surprised if it were different from my G90. My manual says
The system will activate when:
1. The system is on.
2. The vehicle speed is above about
20 mph (30 km/h).
3. An oncoming vehicle is detected
in the blind spot area.
• The initial warning alert time for the
Lane Change Assist can be adjust-
ed. Go to the 'User Settings →
Driving Assist and select Lane
Change Assist' on the LCD display.
You may select between the two
stages you prefer.
- Normal/Late

Note that if your vehicle is travel-
ing much faster than the vehicles
around you, the warning will not occur.

Personally I have found the system to be 100% reliable thus far. I have never had a false positive or a false negative. Although I am sure anything is possible. Once in 18 months I have accidentally turned off the system (or the system turned itself off).

I get the false warnings in the same basic area on my commute to work and I got them in my Lexus. So i suspect it is RF interference from something in the area.

As for the speed thing. I’ve seen it happen many times from a start rolling through an intersection with dual left turn lanes. It alerts me to the car on my left (I’m in outside lane) as soon as I start moving because my signal is on, I take this turn every morning dropping my kid at school and I am not moving any where near 20mph.

I, too, am having a problem with the HUD not showing the blindspot warnings. Someone mentioned Magnetic disturbance. As a matter of fact, twice in the last week, my media player went dead for 10 seconds and came back on. Is this a coincidence? I think not. Any sense on how to reset the system to the HUD works properly?

Question: My Blind Spot Detection (BSD) in the Head UP Display (HUD) occoaionally get turned off without me actually turning it off. I have to go back into the HUD settings and "re-check" the HUD content to include the BSD. Then in a day or two it goes off again. Is this something that i am inadvertently doing to cut it off?

I have the same problem, sometimes when I hit the (start/stop) button to shut my car off I get a total electrical shut down. I restart and then everything is fine (as far as I can tell) but the BSD for the HUD is unchecked.
