    2017 Discovery Td6 HSE Lux Fuji White

    I have blind spot monitoring with closing vehicle sensing and reverse traffic detection through the Drive Pro Pack in my HSE Lux.

    Blind Spot Monitor alerts you to vehicles in, or quickly approaching your blind spot, through a small warning light in the corresponding door mirror.

    Reverse Traffic Detection warns you of hazards approaching from either side of your car, through both audible and visual warnings so you know what’s behind you even when the view is obstructed.

    Run it past dealer
    My reverse detection stopped working but when they had it in they got it going big again
    Maybe it is there but just defective

    Seems to not be too sensitive on the passenger side. Even with big lorries. Maybe mine needs a prod by Shukers ? Even the driver side it only warns me when the vehicle is very (too) close. Approaching warning I don’t get.

    2017 Discovery Td6 HSE Corris Grey

    I’m getting approach warning on fast moving vehicles, it indicates in the wing mirror when I can see them in the rear view mirror “just” then remains in the mirror until they pass the front bumper, the front sensor must trigger it off ?

    On slower movers I’m getting blind spot and to be honest it’s fairly accurate, the slower their approach the later it activates. even passenger side, it remains active in the NS mirror until I very nearly pick them up in the rear view mirror, which is my cue for indicating and moving across.

    On a 3 lane mtwy with me on the inside lane, if a veh comes past in the outside “fast” lane missing out the middle lane ? It fails to pick them up ? Presumably because it knows they are in a separate lane, it would be handy if it picked them up as they’re the ones swinging into the middle lane that your more likely to hit, or them hit you ?

    I have it as an option on my HSE
    It only seems to work as I put the car into reverse.

    Simon as far as I can see the D5 HSE only comes with blind spot (which is when a vehicle is directly alongside) and reverse traffic monitoring (which is cross traffic when you are reversing\ pulling out of a space) as standard ....not closing vehicle sensing (which is traffic approaching from a distance of up to 70m) . The D4 HSE came with all three aspects as standard.

    Chalky the system is controlled by radar sensors in the rear bumper Thumbs Up

    I know Rich Thumbs Up

    I just think it’s not particularly good and comes in too late or mostly not at all for pasegener side detection.

    Yes, got that 👍
    Watched a video of it albeit relating to FFRR but it is as described, got it on my HSE, it’s ticked in the menu, my question is? Should I have it or not ?

    I’m surprised your salesman did’nt upsell that to you DG! Knowing what you were coming from, it would have been easy money, because I’m sure you would have ticked the box?

    I have found speccing up a D5 or a Velar a bloody minefield, with so many variations.

    I was gonna say, there’s no way you could have used all that 2T by now Rolling with laughter

    What does this closing detection do any way ? Does it beep ? Or just illuminate ? Mine just illuminates as it does for blind spot but picks up from a fair distance on fast movers ?

    The truth is Gareth that I saw "Blind Spot Monitor and Reverse Traffic Detection" in the HSE specification but foolishly thought that the closing sensing was part of it so never questioned it at order. It's not a 'biggie' in terms of a negative tbh ..I just really wanted to check if it was specced and not working perhaps.
