Blind Spot Assist and Active Blind Spot
Assist
Function of Blind Spot Assist and Active
Blind Spot Assist
Blind Spot Assist uses two lateral, rear-facing
radar sensors to monitor the area up to 130 ft
(40 m) behind your vehicle and 10 ft (3 m)
directly next to your vehicle.
If a vehicle is detected at speeds above approx‐
imately 8 mph (12 km/h) and this vehicle subse‐
quently enters the monitoring range directly next
to your vehicle, the warning lamp in the outside
mirror lights up red.
If a vehicle is detected close to your vehicle in
the lateral monitoring range and you switch on
the turn signal indicator in the corresponding
direction, a warning tone sounds once. The red
warning lamp in the outside mirror flashes. If the
turn signal indicator remains on, all other detec‐
ted vehicles are indicated only by the flashing of
the red warning lamp.
If you overtake a vehicle quickly, no warning is
given.
& WARNING Risk of accident despite Blind
Spot Assist
Blind Spot Assist does not react to vehicles
approaching and overtaking you at a greatly
different speed.
As a result, Blind Spot Assist cannot warn
drivers in this situation.
#
Always pay careful attention to the traf‐
fic situation and maintain a safe dis‐
tance at the side of the vehicle.
