Blind Spot Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist with
exit warning
Function of Blind Spot Assist and Active Blind
Spot Assist with exit warning
Blind Spot Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist use
two lateral, rear-facing radar sensors to monitor
the area up to 130 ft (40 m) behind and 10 ft
(3 m) 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.
Permanent status display in the instrument clus-
ter:

If a vehicle is detected close to your vehicle and
you switch on the turn signal indicator in the cor-
responding direction, a double warning tone
sounds and the red warning lamp in the outside
mirror flashes. If the turn signal indicator remains
switched on, all other detected vehicles are indi-
cated only by the flashing of the red warning
lamp.
If you overtake a vehicle quickly, no warning is
given.
