Blind Spot Assist with exit warning
Function of Blind Spot Assist with exit warn‐
ing
Blind Spot Assist uses two lateral, rear-facing
radar sensors to monitor the area up to 40 m
behind your vehicle and 3 m directly next to your
vehicle.
If a vehicle is detected at speeds above approx‐
imately 12 km/h and this vehicle subsequently
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 the side of your
vehicle, the red warning lamp in the outside mir‐
ror flashes. If you switch on the turn signal indi‐
cator in the corresponding direction, a warning
tone sounds once. If the turn signal indicator
remains switched on, all other detected 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.
Blind Spot Assist is only an aid. It may fail to
detect some vehicles and is not a substitute for
attentive driving. Always ensure that there is suf‐
ficient distance to the side for other road users
and obstacles.
Exit warning
The exit warning is an additional function of
Blind Spot Assist and can warn vehicle occu‐
pants about approaching vehicles when leaving
the vehicle when stationary.
