With side collision warning
If at speeds between 45 mph/70 km/h and
130 mph/210 km/h, the vibrating steering
wheel is ignored and the lane marking crossed,
the system intervenes with a brief active steer‐
ing intervention and helps to return the vehicle
into the lane. The steering intervention can be
noticed on the steering wheel and can be man‐
ually overridden at any time.
Flashing of the light
A flashing of the light during vehicle unlocking
serves as system self-test.
System limits
Safety information
WARNING
The system can react incorrectly or not
at all due to the system limits. There is a risk of
accidents or risk of property damage. Observe
the information regarding the system limits
and actively intervene, if needed.◀
Upper speed limit
If the vehicle speed exceeds approx.
155 mph/250 km/h, the system is deactivated
temporarily. As soon as the speed drops back
down below this value, the system once again
responds according to the setting.
Functional limitations
The system may not be fully functional in the
following situations:
▷ When a vehicle is approaching at a speed
much faster than your own.
▷ In heavy fog, rain or snowfall.
▷ In tight curves or on narrow lanes.
▷ If the bumper is dirty or iced up, or covered
with stickers.
▷ If cargo protrudes.
For vehicles with side collision warning, the
steering intervention can be limited, for in‐
stance in the following situation:
▷ In the event of missing, worn, poorly visi‐
ble, merging, diverging, or multiple lane
markings such as in construction areas.
▷ When lane markings are covered in snow,
ice, dirt or water.
▷ When the lane markings are not white.
▷ When the lane markings are covered by
objects.
▷ When driving very close to the vehicle in
front of you.
▷ If there are constant blinding effects be‐
cause of oncoming light, for instance from
the sun low in the sky.
▷ If the field of view of the camera or the
windshield is dirty or covered in the area of
the interior mirror.
▷ During calibration of the camera immedi‐
ately after vehicle delivery.
A Check Control message is displayed when
the system is not fully functional.

Depending on the selected warning settings,
for instance warning time, more warnings can
be displayed. However, there may also be an
excess of premature warnings of critical vehi‐
cles.
