Blind Spot Assist
Function of Blind Spot Assist
Blind Spot Assist uses two lateral, rear-facing
radar sensors to monitor the area up to 130 ft
(40 m) behind and 10 ft (3 m) directly next to
your vehicle.
If a vehicle is detected at speeds above approx‐
imately 8 mph (12 km/h) and this vehicle subse‐
quently enters the monitoring range directly next
to your vehicle, the warning lamp in the outside
mirror lights up red.
If a vehicle is detected close to the side of your
vehicle, the red warning lamp in the outside mir‐
ror flashes. If you switch on the turn signal indi‐
cator in the corresponding direction, a warning
tone sounds once. If the turn signal indicator
remains switched on, all other detected vehicles
are indicated only by the flashing of the red
warning lamp.
If you overtake a vehicle quickly, no warning is
given.

WARNING Risk of accident despite Blind
Spot Assist
Blind Spot Assist does not react to vehicles
approaching and overtaking you at a greatly
different speed.
Blind Spot Assist cannot warn drivers in this
situation.
#
Always pay careful attention to the traf‐
fic situation and maintain a safe dis‐
tance 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 suf‐
ficient distance to the side for other road users
and obstacles.
System limits
The system may be limited in the following situa‐
tions:
R
If there is dirt on the sensors or the sensors
are obscured
R
In poor visibility, e.g. due to fog, heavy rain or
snow
R
If there are narrow vehicles, e.g. bicycles or
motorbikes
R
If the road has very wide or narrow lanes
R
If vehicles are not driving in the middle of
their lane
Warnings may be issued in error when driving
close to crash barriers or similar continuous lane
borders. Always make sure that there is suffi‐
cient distance to the side for other traffic or
obstacles.
Warnings may be interrupted when driving along‐
side long vehicles, for example trucks, for a pro‐
longed time.
Blind Spot Assist is not operational when reverse
gear is engaged.
