R
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.
Active 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.
If a course-correcting brake application occurs,
the red warning lamp flashes in the outside mir‐
ror and a warning tone sounds. In addition, a dis‐
play
1
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

appropriate to the driving situation, or none at
all, may occur in the following situations:
