PATS4LIFE Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 There's been multiple times I notice either right/left mirrors blindside warning lights would blink rapidly a few seconds even though there's no other vehicles around me on the freeway...anyone had this issues?

ehsnils Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Dirty sensor is my first guess, and if it happens check if there's something else by the road that may confuse the detection - guard rail, lights etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehsnils Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 If you look at the pic here: https://www.subaru.com/why-subaru/articles/subaru-safety-technologyblindspotdetectionwithlanechangeassist.html it looks like the sensors are in the rear bumper. Maybe one of them are damaged. In any case it should be a warranty issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george-in-georgia Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Using radar sensors, the new Blind-Spot Detection system warns you with a visual indicator in each side mirror if a vehicle is sensed in your blind spots. Where are the actual sensors ?? Regards George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ammcinnis Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Where are the actual sensors ?? The two radar sensors for SRVD are located at the rear corners of the car, hidden behind the bumper cover, just below the tail lights. See the Legacy/Outback Owners Manual, page 7-59 (2015) or 7-60 (2016). You have read the Owners Manual, haven't you?

andrew_l_s Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Stolen from the ecohitch install thread. Notice the black square below the tail light area. http://i758.photobucket.com/albums/xx226/jay25rs/Subaru/2015%20Legacy%20Limited/IMG_9938_zpsa32e77bb.jpg Lighting Mods: $10 Footwell Illumination | Tail as Turn | Fog as DRL Diode Dynamics C-Lights | RX350 Bi-Xenon Retrofit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
