Additional sign for unknown restriction
A maximum permissible speed of 80 km/h
(80 mph) and a speed limit of 60 km/h (60 mph)
with an unknown restriction apply.
The unit for the speed limit (km/h or mph)
depends on the country in which you are driving.
It is generally neither shown on the traffic sign
nor on the instrument cluster but must be taken
into account on observance of the maximum
permissible speed.
No entry (wrong-way warning)
A warning message : is displayed on the
instrument cluster if Traffic Sign Assist detects
that you are passing a “no entry” sign and you
are driving in the wrong direction. You will then
also hear a warning tone. You should immedi-
ately check your direction of travel in order to
avoid danger to yourself and other road users.
Lane Tracking package
General notes
The Lane Tracking package consists of Blind
Spot Assist (
Y
page 204) and Lane Keeping
Assist (
Y
page 206).
Blind Spot Assist
General notes
Blind Spot Assist monitors the areas on either
side of the vehicle that are not visible to the
driver with two lateral, rear-facing radar sen-
sors. A warning lamp lights up on the exterior
mirror and draws your attention to vehicles
detected in the monitored area. If you then
switch on the corresponding turn signal to
change lanes, you will also receive a visual and
audible warning.
Blind Spot Assist supports you from a speed of
approximately 30 km/h.
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Blind Spot Assist does not react to vehicles:
R
overtaken too closely on the side, placing
them in the blind spot area
R
when the difference in the speed of
approach and overtaking is too great
As a result, Blind Spot Assist cannot warn
drivers in these situations. There is a risk of an
accident.
Always pay careful attention to the traffic sit-
uation and maintain a safe distance 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
sufficient distance to the side for other road
users and obstacles.
Radar sensors
The radar sensors for Blind Spot Assist are inte-
grated into the rear bumper. Make sure that the
bumpers are free of dirt, ice and slush. The sen-
sors must not be covered, e.g. by cycle racks or
overhanging loads. Following a severe impact or
in the event of damage to the bumpers, have the
function of the radar sensors checked at a quali-
