B218 Side Obstacle Detection Control Module
The B218L Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Left and B218R Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Right are located on each side of the vehicle behind the rear fascia and are not directly visible from outside the vehicle. The B218 Side Obstacle Detection Control Modules use radar to determine the presence of objects nearby. Both B218 Side Obstacle Detection Control Modules communicates with the vehicle via serial data. The B218L Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Left and B218R Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Right also communicate with one another on a private CAN serial data bus. When an object is detected in the side blind zone, the B218L Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Left and B218R Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Right will send a CAN message to the K9 Body Control Module to illuminate the appropriate side blind zone alert indicator.
K9 Body Control Module
The B218L Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Left and the B218R Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Right will send a CAN message to the K9 Body Control Module when requesting the driver or passenger indicator be illuminated. The K9 Body Control Module then sends a LIN message to the S79D Front Side Door Window Control Switch - Driver or S79P Front Side Door Window Switch - Passenger with the indicator request.
S79 Front Side Door Window Control Switch
The B218L Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Left and the B218R Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Right will send a CAN message to the K9 Body Control Module when requesting the driver or passenger indicator be illuminated. The K9 Body Control Module then sends a LIN message to the S79D Front Side Door Window Control Switch - Driver or S79P Front Side Door Window Switch - Passenger with the indicator request. The S79D Front Side Door Window Control Switch - Driver or S79P Front Side Door Window Switch - Passenger will apply voltage to the indicator control circuit to illuminate the appropriate indicator.
A9 Outside Rearview Mirror
The A9A Outside Rearview Mirror - Driver and A9B Outside Rearview Mirror - Passenger each contain an icon that is backlit with high intensity, amber-colored LED's located on the mirror surface. The display brightness adapts to day/night conditions. The P43D Side Object Detection Indicator - Driver and P43P Side Object Detection Indicator - Passenger in the appropriate A9 Outside Rearview Mirror is illuminated if the specific B218 Side Obstacle Detection Control Module detects a vehicle in the side blind zone to inform the driver that there is a vehicle driving in the blind spot zone.
Safety Alert Seat (HS1)
The K40 Seat Memory Control Module (with A45) or K9 Body Control Module (without A45) controls the P45 Front Seat Lane Departure Warning Actuators. The P45 Front Seat Lane Departure Warning Actuators provide haptic alert to the driver. If an object is detected, the system will command pulses to the P45LR Seat Haptic Movement Motor - Driver Left Rear or P45RR Seat Haptic Movement Motor - Driver Right Rear, depending on the location of the object, as an alert to the driver.
