A blind-spot detection system (10) includes an angle-detector (26), a radar-sensor (38), and a controller (32). The angle-detector (26) is used to determine a trailer-angle (22) relative to a host-vehicle (12) of a trailer (14) being towed by the host-vehicle (12). The radar-sensor (38) is used to detect an other-vehicle (40) present in a blind-zone (18) proximate to the host-vehicle (12). The controller (32) is in communication with the angle-detector (26) and the radar-sensor (38). The controller (32) is configured to adjust a sensing-boundary (16) that defines the blind-zone (18) based on the trailer-angle (22).
