Land Rover Discovery: Closing vehicle sensing
- Closing vehicle sensing is a
supplement to, not a replacement
for, a safe driving style and use of
the exterior and rear-view mirrors.
- Closing vehicle sensing does not
give a warning of vehicles
approaching from directly behind
the vehicle. Always use the
exterior and rear-view mirrors.
- The radar sensors may be
impaired by mud, rain, frost, ice,
snow, or road spray. This may
affect the system's ability to
reliably detect an approaching
vehicle.
- Closing vehicle sensing will not
correct errors of judgement in
driving.
Make sure that the warning
indicators in the exterior mirrors are
not obscured by stickers or other
objects.
Do not attach stickers or objects to
the rear bumper, that may interfere
with the radar sensors.
In addition to the functionality provided
by the Blind Spot Monitor (BSM), Closing
vehicle sensing monitors a larger area
behind the vehicle. Closing vehicle
sensing is designed to perform best on
multi-lane motorways with free-flowing
traffic and is operational above 10 km/h
(6 mph) in a forward gear.

- Closing vehicle sensing monitors an
area behind the vehicle, up to a
distance of 70 m and approximately
2.5 m from each side of the vehicle
(the width of a typical carriageway
lane).
- If a vehicle is detected approaching
rapidly, an amber warning icon flashes
in the relevant exterior mirror to
indicate that there is a potential
danger.
- When the detected vehicle reaches
the area monitored by the BSM, the
amber warning icon illuminates
continuously.
Note: If rapidly overtaking vehicles are
detected on both sides simultaneously,
the warning icons in both mirrors flash.
Note: Closing vehicle sensing covers an
area of a fixed lane width. If the lanes are
narrower than a typical carriageway lane,
objects travelling in non-adjacent lanes
may be detected.
Note: Closing vehicle sensing is disabled
when the vehicle is negotiating a tight
radius curve.
Note: When the BSM is disabled, Closing
vehicle sensing is also disabled.
Note: This radar sensor is approved in all
RTTE countries.
Note: Closing vehicle sensing is disabled
when a trailer is attached.

In some countries, the Radio Frequency
(RF) transceiver is also known as the
HomeLink Universal Transceiver.
The RF transceiver is located in the
rear-view mirror. It can be programmed
