Blind-Spot View Monitor (BVM): Notes
Blind-spot View Monitor (BVM) is a driving safety system that helps provide a more comprehensive views on areas which is not usually visible by the side mirrors when the vehicle tries to change the lane.
The BVM system provides a driver a more comprehensive view which is not usually visible by the side mirrors in certain situations like switching drive lanes. The system helps to avoid any blind spot mishaps.
- The rear side view is displayed in the cluster screen when the turning lights are in operation as the light switch goes up and down by the driver.
- The SVM also provides an edited view of the left side/right side without adding more cameras.
- It helps minimize the distraction of the driver by displaying the rear side view that is usually hard to see.
NOTE:
- The video will be played even though the side mirrors are folded. But it does not provide a proper view of the surroundings.
- The video quality may be lower than the SVM video as the size of the original image has to be adjusted to fit the cluster.
- The screen may temporarily fades out with changes in light conditions during daytime or with a sunrise or a sunset. Or when the car enters the tunnel.
- The view of the surrounding objects provided by the system may look far away than views that are obtained by the side mirrors.
- The brightness of the rear side video may change due to a mode switching delay of the SVM/BVM.
