VAN BUREN TOWNSHIP, Mich., Oct. 20, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Visteon Corporation (NYSE:VC) is supplying the 2009 Dodge Grand
Caravan and Chrysler Town and Country with optional driver
awareness systems that help make drivers more cognizant of their
surroundings. (Logo:

Blind Spot Monitoring System is intended to supplement the exterior
side-view mirrors, while the first-to-market Rear Cross Path System
can warn drivers backing out from a parking spot of oncoming
vehicles. Both technologies will be part of an interactive display
at the Chrysler exhibit during Convergence 2008, Oct. 20-22 at Cobo
Center in Detroit, Mich. Blind Spot Monitoring System The blind
spot system detects when moving vehicles are adjacent to the
driver's vehicle (i.e. in the driver's "blind spot"), and alerts
the driver. When the driver looks to the side-view mirror prior to
an intended lane change, an illuminated icon indicates that there
is a vehicle in the driver's blind spot. The driver is not
distracted by alerts for guard rails, medians, trees, fences or
other stationary objects that don't pose a threat. This is a robust
system that is designed to work in all weather conditions. Rear
Cross Path System Visteon's Rear Cross Path System is a parking lot
aid that detects oncoming vehicles that might be blocked by cars
parked on either side of the driver's vehicle. The driver is
alerted by an icon in the side-view mirror in addition to an
audible alert. Visteon Corporation is a leading global automotive
supplier that designs, engineers and manufactures innovative
climate, interior, electronic and lighting products for vehicle
manufacturers, and also provides a range of products and services
to aftermarket customers. With corporate offices in Van Buren
Township, Mich. (U.S.); Shanghai, China; and Kerpen, Germany; the
company has facilities in 26 countries and employs approximately
38,500 people.
