Blind spots are implicated in more than 1,000 accidents every year in the UK according to the AA.
They are a danger in all vehicles, but can be especially troublesome in vans. Without a rear-view mirror or back window, the blind spots are much larger. The bigger your van, the bigger the blind spot, and the greater the danger if the vehicle is involved in an accident.
Thanks to increases in technology, many vans come with additional equipment to negate these risks.
Mercedes have added a blind spot motion sensor to their Sprinter vans. The pack includes two blind spot sensors to be installed at the rear of the vehicle, two brackets, two covers, screws and a harness interface in the driver seat box.
A wiring harness is required to connect the blind spot sensors to the main power circuit of the vehicle. What the pack doesn’t include, however, is a harness to connect the sensors to the main power harness of the vehicle.
