— Switch on the exit warning system.
How the system works
The exit warning system functions with the
rear radar sensors.
If the system detects an obstacle ap-
proaching from the rear when the door is
opened, the indicator lamps in the exterior
mirror housing flash yellow and then light
up continuously
→
Fig. 124 . A warning signal
sounds at the same time.
Keep the door closed if an obstacle is de-
tected.
Also observe the safety information for the
parking systems

page 188.
The functionality of the system may
be restricted if doors are open.
Points to note for trailer towing
The exit warning system deactivates itself
automatically and cannot be activated if
the vehicle is electrically connected to
a trailer. The exit warning system is activa-
ted again automatically when the trailer is
unhitched from the vehicle.
Fault
The exit warning system is deactivated in
the event of a fault. A fault message will be
shown on the Infotainment system display.
Observe the other prerequisites for the
parking systems

Also observe the information on trouble-
shooting

page 192.
Please note that no fault messages
are displayed on the Infotainment sys-
tem when the ignition is switched off.
WARNING
The intelligent technology of the exit
warning system cannot overcome the
laws of physics, and functions only within
the system limits. The exit warning sys-
tem cannot replace the attentiveness of
the vehicle occupants. If this is not ob-
served, this can result in accidents, seri-
ous injuries and also damage to the vehi-
cle.
·
Pay attention to the traffic situation and
the area around the vehicle.
·
Before getting out of the vehicle, pay
attention to the indicator lamps in the
exterior mirror housings and the acous-
tic warning signal.
·
The display may not light up or may not
light up in time in the case of vehicles
that are approaching very quickly.
WARNING
The exit warning system does not warn
about stationary or slowly moving objects
and people. If this is not observed, this
can result in accidents, serious injuries
and also damage to the vehicle.
·
When opening the doors, pay attention
to the vehicle surroundings, e.g. pedes-
trians.

Limits of sensors and cameras
There are various sensors and cameras on
the vehicle which detect and monitor the
area around the vehicle by means of ultra-
sound, radar waves and optical systems.
The various parking systems use
different
combinations of the sensors. Common to
all sensors is the fact that they are subject
to technical and physical limits

.
— The sensors or cameras may not detect
some objects, e.g. trailer drawbars, thin
bars, fences, posts, trees, very low or high
obstacles, and boot lids that are open or
being opened.
— The detection ranges of the sensors have
blind spots in which obstacles and peo-
ple are not registered.
— In some cases, dirt or ice and water on
the sensors and cameras could be regis-
tered as an obstacle or impair detection
of objects. The sensor visibility may be
impaired by dirt and snow or also residue
from cleaning agents or coatings.
— External sources of sound and certain
surfaces on objects and clothing may in-
fluence the sensors’ signals. In certain cir-
cumstances, the systems will be unable
