I have had my L494 2014 for a day. But I've just gone for a drive and noticed the blind spot detection not working? I got no warning on the dash. I went in to the driver features and switch it off which lit up a some amber light on each mirror. I switched it back on and the amber lights went out on each mirror but the system wasn't working????

Any ideas???

The indication is in the mirrors not on the dash. 2023 P440e SE Dynamic on order -cancelled

Jimbg, I know I should get the amber warning in the mirrors. But I'm not? But if it had failed I would expect I would get a warning in the dash?

Sorry misread your comment about the amber light in the mirror when is OFF. 2023 P440e SE Dynamic on order -cancelled

The behaviour you describe sounds like it should work. The ‘dot’ light in the mirror is only illuminated when the car is below a certain speed (i.e. the blind spot monitor isn’t supposed to kick in), you have it turned off in the menu or there is a fault with the system. At all other times that light should not be on. When there is a vehicle in your blind spot, the other light in the mirror with the car symbol should come on. If you have closing vehicle sensing as well and a car is approaching fast from behind, the car symbol light should flash. Your car needs to be travelling above the minimum speed threshold for these systems to work.

In the absence of a fault, it should just work in my experience. The fact that you disabled and re-enabled the setting in the menu rules out the possibility that you missed the fault on the dash first time round because after rexenabling, the triangle and a message would immediately appear on the dash.

Try disabling and re-enabling closing vehicle sensing also (if you have it). Lock the car, let it go to sleep and check again after a while. Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

I was on a dual carriage way. The weather was heavy rain and spray, maybe that could be an issue?

Mine stopped working also
Dealer had it in rear bumper was full of mud and blocked the sensors they said I must off-road it to much LOL
It was all fixed under warranty together with inner wheel arch being replaced

Thank you everyone for all your comments and advice. The car is new to me (picked it up Friday) So I will feedback my findings to the dealer I purchased the car from. Unfortunately I live in Cornwall and the dealer (not Land Rover) is in Wigan.

I'm hoping leaving the car overnight It might reset everything (fingers crossed)

And... how on earth do you check the oil level????

There is an online manual you can read or the hard copy one that you should have?  2023 P440e SE Dynamic on order -cancelled

I'll swap you my passenger side sensor if you like as it has a mind of its own and sees stuff that isn't there. Hardly noticeable during the day but a pain in the arse at night as it just goes off on one randomly. However, as there are no fault codes the dealer won't/can't fix it. FFS. Ferrari F430 Spider F1

Spleen, in my last 4 Land Rovers all with BLIS the local overhanging shrubbery on the country lanes where I live used to trigger warnings on the passenger side, it rendered the system useless on country roads with overgrown verges. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Cheers Tim, trouble is it fires off when I'm overseas as well and also if I'm barrelling down the motorway with all in front or behind. It's pretty frustrating. The worst is at night when overtaking on the motorway, I know I'm way past the car on my left and yet the thing goes berserk when indicating which just just puts me on edge. My last car didn't have this functionality and I managed just fine so I may just disable it next time I'm home. Ferrari F430 Spider F1

Sounds like a visit to the dealers to sort it out is required 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
