Active Blind Spot Assist
General notes
Active Blind Spot Assist uses a radar sensor
system to monitor the area to the sides of
your vehicle which are behind the driver. A
warning display in the exterior mirrors draws
your attention to vehicles detected in the
monitored area. If you then switch on the cor-
responding turn signal to change lanes, you
will also receive an optical and audible colli-
sion warning. If a risk of side impact is detec-
ted, corrective braking may help you avoid a
collision. To support the course-correcting
brake application, Active Blind Spot Assist
also uses the forward-facing radar sensor sys-
tem. The space available in the direction of
travel as well as to the side of the vehicle is
evaluated before a course-correcting braking
application is performed.
Active Blind Spot Assist supports you from a
speed of approximately 30 km/h.
For Active Blind Spot Assist to assist you
when driving, the radar sensor system must
be operational.
Important safety notes
Active Blind Spot Assist is only an aid. It does
not detect all traffic situations and road users
and is no substitute for attentive driving.
Always ensure that there is sufficient dis-
tance to the side for other road users and
obstacles.
G
WARNING
Active Blind Spot Assist does not react to
vehicles:
R
overtaking too closely on the side, placing
them in the blind spot area
R
if the difference in the speed of approach
and overtaking is too great
As a result, Active Blind Spot Assist may nei-
ther give warnings nor intervene in such sit-
uations. 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.
Monitoring range of the sensors
G
WARNING
Active Blind Spot Assist does not detect all
traffic situations and road users. There is a
risk of an accident.
Always make sure that there is sufficient dis-
tance to the side for other traffic or obstacles.
In particular, the detection of obstacles can
be impaired in the case of:
R
dirt on the sensors or the sensors are
obscured
R
poor visibility, e.g. due to rain, snow or
spray
Vehicles in the monitoring range are then not
indicated.
Active Blind Spot Assist may not detect nar-
row vehicles, such as motorcycles or bicy-
cles, or may only detect them too late.
