What is Safe Exit Warning (Exit Warning)?

It helps prevent collisions with cyclists passing parked cars. It uses the rear radar sensors also used for blind spot monitoring. Some cars briefly keep the rear door locked when a hazard is detected. It is particularly useful when parked on busy urban streets with cycle lanes.

How it works

Sensors watch traffic from behind and trigger lights, sounds or a door lock when needed.

Why it matters for your car

Occupants should still look before opening a door. The system works for a limited time after switching off the car.
