sufficient distance to the side for other road

In particular, the detection of obstacles can be
impaired in the case of:
R
dirt on the sensors or anything else covering
the sensors
R
fog, heavy rain or snow
R
narrow vehicles, e.g. motorcycles or bicycles
R
very wide lanes
R
narrow lanes
R
vehicles not driving in the middle of their lane

USA only:
This device has been approved by the FCC as
a "Vehicular Radar System". The radar sensor
is intended for use in an automotive radar
system only. Removal, tampering, or altering
of the device will void any warranties, and is
not permitted by the FCC. Do not tamper with,
alter, or use in any non-approved way.
Any unauthorized modification to this device
could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
Monitoring range of the sensors
Blind Spot Assist monitors the area shown in the
diagram up to 118 in (3 m) behind and directly
next to your vehicle.
If the lanes are narrow, vehicles driving in the
lane beyond the lane next to your vehicle may be
indicated, especially if the vehicles are not driv-
ing in the middle of their lane. This may be the
case if the vehicles are driving on the inner side
of their lane.
Due to the nature of the system:
R
warnings may be issued in error when driving
close to crash barriers or similar solid lane
borders.
R
warnings may be interrupted when driving
alongside long vehicles, for example trucks,
for a prolonged time
The two sensors for Blind Spot Assist are inte-
grated into the sides of the rear bumper. Make
sure that the bumper is free of dirt, ice or slush
in the vicinity of the sensors. The radar sensors
must not be covered, for example by rear-moun-
ted cycle racks or overhanging loads. Following
a severe impact or in the event of damage to the
bumper, have the function of the radar sensors
checked at a qualified specialist workshop.
Blind Spot Assist may otherwise not work prop-
erly.
Warning display
Blind Spot Assist is not active at speeds below
approximately 20 mph (30 km/h). Vehicles in
the monitoring range are then not indicated.
If a vehicle is detected within the monitoring
range of Blind Spot Assist at speeds above
approximately 20 mph (30 km/h), warning
lamp
:
lights up red in the exterior mirror on
the corresponding side. Warning lamp
:
always lights up when a vehicle enters the blind
spot monitoring range from behind or from the
side. When you overtake a vehicle, the warning
only occurs if the difference in speed is less than
7 mph (11 km/h).
If you select reverse gear, Blind Spot Assist is
inactive.
