Blind Spot Assist
Function of Blind Spot Assist with exit warn‐
ing
Blind Spot Assist uses two lateral, rear-facing
radar sensors to monitor the area directly next to
and on the side behind the vehicle.

WARNING Risk of accident despite Blind
Spot Assist
Blind Spot Assist reacts neither to stationary
objects nor to vehicles approaching and over‐
taking you at a greatly different speed.
As a result, Blind Spot Assist cannot warn
drivers in these situations.
#
Always pay careful attention to the traf‐
fic situation and maintain a safe dis‐
tance at the side of the vehicle.
Blind Spot Assist is only an aid. It may fail to
detect some vehicles and is no substitute for
attentive driving. Always ensure that there is suf‐
ficient distance to the side for other road users
and obstacles.
If a vehicle is detected above speeds of approx‐
imately 7.5 mph (12 km/h) and this vehicle sub‐
sequently enters the monitoring range directly
