Delphi Infrared Side Alert is designed to help drivers be aware of vehicles in their side blind spots when changing lanes and making turns. A cost-effective safety enhancement for light-duty vehicles, passive infrared sensors integrated into mirrors, taillights or side fascia measure adjacent lane temperature over time to detect vehicles entering the side blind spot. If a vehicle is detected in the blind spot, Side Alert can help drivers avoid a lane change accident by providing a visual indication in the mirrors. When the turn signal is activated to signal a lane change, the driver also receives an audible alert.

Benefits

• Helps provide drivers more time to react to people or objects that may be difficult to see in the side mirror
• Helps drivers avoid lane change accidents—more than 200,000 annually in U.S.*
• Ignores stationary roadside objects, minimizing false alarms
• Audible alerts provided only when the turn signal is activated
• Immune to noises including jets and jackhammers
