2025 D90 Mode Genuine Towbar and Wiring: Retain the Blind Spot Monitoring Footnote

After towing accessories are installed, blind spot indications seem different and someone proposes replacing sensing components. For the Australian MY25 D90 Petrol Mode 2WD, checking a factory specification footnote first helps the repairer understand the accessories and function state.

The factory condition is installation of a genuine towbar and wiring

The MY25 sheet lists blind spot monitoring on page 4. Footnote 2 on page 5 states that blind spot monitoring is deactivated when a genuine towbar and wiring are fitted. [Factory footnote][R34] This article covers Petrol Mode 2WD only and retains both the genuine towbar and wiring conditions.

The sentence does not add a “trailer connected” prerequisite; do not import one from another model. Nor does it establish that every aftermarket towbar or modified harness produces the same result.

Identify accessories and installation records first

Record what was actually installed, readable markings, when the concern began and original vehicle messages. If genuine accessory status is unknown, retain that uncertainty. A product name such as “genuine-style” is not installation evidence. [To be verified]

Put towbar and harness identity before the vehicle messages and repairer's confirmed item on the job card. Preserve the factory condition of a genuine towbar and wiring being installed so subsequent checks can compare it with the actual assembly.

Scope and verification

This article is limited to Australia; MY25 LDV D90; Petrol Mode 2WD, without extension to other trims. [Model year scope][R34] The cited product equipment information identifies functions and parts; it is not a fault or replacement criterion.

No public data were available in the reviewed material for deactivation recognition and restoration conditions, applicability of other towing accessories, sensing-component construction and diagnostic parameters; OE numbers, repair parameters, separate parts availability, or compatibility and interchangeability. [To be verified] Compatibility or interchangeability must be checked using the vehicle identification number (VIN) and the local factory parts catalogue in Australia.
