Active Blind Spot
Detection
Principle
Active Blind Spot Detection detects vehicles in
the blind spot or vehicles approaching from be‐
hind in the adjacent lane.
The light in the exterior mirror warns the driver in
different steps.
General information
Radar sensors monitor the area behind and next
to the vehicle when traveling faster than a mini‐
mum speed.
The minimum speed is country-specific and is
displayed in the menu for the intelligent Safety
systems.
The system indicates whether there are vehicles
in the blind spot, arrow 1, or approaching from
behind in the adjacent lane, arrow 2.
The light in the exterior mirror lights up dimmed.
Before you change lanes after setting the turn
signal, the system issues a warning in the situa‐
tions described above.
The light in the exterior mirror flashes and the
steering wheel vibrates.
Vehicles with side collision mitigation: at speeds
of up to 130 mph/210 km/h, the system can in‐
tervene with a brief active steering intervention
and help guide the vehicle back into the lane.
The steering intervention occurs when a mini‐
mum speed is reached. This minimum speed is
displayed on the Control Display in the menu for
the steering intervention.
Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute for the
driver’s personal judgment in assessing visibility
and traffic situation. There is a risk of accident.
Adjust driving style to traffic conditions. Watch
traffic closely and actively intervene where ap‐
propriate.
Warning
Indicators and warnings cannot serve as a sub‐
stitute for the driver’s personal judgment. Due
to its limits, the system may not issue warnings
or reactions, or these may be issued late or in a
manner that is not consistent with their normal
use. There is a risk of accident. Adjust driving
style to traffic conditions. Watch traffic closely
and actively intervene where appropriate.
