Possible causes/consequences and

Solutions

Blind Spot Assist

Inoperative

Blind Spot Assist is faulty.

Visit a qualified specialist workshop.

Blind Spot Assist

Currently Unavail.

See Operator's Man‐

ual

Blind Spot Assist is temporarily inoperative. Possible causes:

You have attached a trailer.

The sensors in the rear bumper are dirty.

The function is impaired due to heavy rain or snow.

The radar sensor system is temporarily inoperative, e.g. due to

electromagnetic radiation emitted by nearby TV or radio stations or

other sources of electromagnetic radiation.

The system is outside the operating temperature range.

Once the causes listed above no longer apply, the display message

goes out and Blind Spot Assist is operational again.
If the display message does not disappear:

Pull over and stop the vehicle, paying attention to road and traffic

conditions.

Secure the vehicle to prevent it from rolling away (

page 133).

Switch off the engine.

Clean the sensors in the rear bumper (

page 258).

Restart the engine.
