WARNING Risk of accident despite

brake application of Active Blind Spot

Assist

A course-correcting brake application cannot

always prevent a collision.

Always steer, brake or accelerate your‐

self, especially if Active Blind Spot

Assist warns you or makes a course-

correcting brake application.

Always maintain a safe distance at the

sides.

WARNING Risk of accident despite

Active Blind Spot Assist

Active Blind Spot Assist does not react to the

following:

Overtaking vehicles closely on the side,

placing them in the blind spot area.

Vehicles approaching and overtaking you

at a very different speed.

As a result, Active Blind Spot Assist may nei‐

ther give warnings nor intervene in such sit‐

uations.

Always pay careful attention to the traf‐

fic situation and maintain a safe dis‐

tance at the side of the vehicle.

If a course-correcting brake application occurs,

the red warning lamp flashes in the outside mir‐

ror and a warning tone sounds. In addition, dis‐

play

indicating the danger of a side collision

appears in the multifunction display.
In rare cases, the system may make an inappro‐

priate brake application. This brake application

may be interrupted at any time if you steer

slightly in the opposite direction or accelerate.
System limitations
Either a course-correcting brake application

appropriate to the driving situation, or none at

all, may occur in the following situations:

Vehicles or obstacles, e.g. crash barriers, are

located on both sides of your vehicle.

A vehicle approaches too closely on the side.

You have adopted a sporty driving style with

high cornering speeds.

You brake or accelerate significantly.

A driving safety system intervenes, such as

ESP

or Active Brake Assist.

ESP

is deactivated.

A loss of tire pressure or a defective tire is

detected.
