Blind Spot Assist
Function of Blind Spot Assist with exit warn‐
ing
Blind Spot Assist uses two lateral, rear-facing
radar sensors to monitor the area directly next to
and on the side behind the vehicle.
%
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.
& WARNING Risk of accident despite Blind
Spot Assist
Blind Spot Assist reacts neither to stationary
objects nor to vehicles approaching and over‐
taking you at a greatly different speed.
As a result, Blind Spot Assist cannot warn
drivers in these situations.
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 no substitute for
attentive driving. Always ensure that there is suf‐
ficient distance to the side for other road users
and obstacles.
If a vehicle is detected above speeds of approx‐
imately 7.5 mph (12 km/h) and this vehicle sub‐
sequently enters the monitoring range directly
next to your vehicle, the warning lamp in the out‐
side mirror lights up red.
%
When a trailer is connected, the radar sen‐
sor's field of vision may be impaired, thereby
making limited monitoring possible. Always
pay careful attention to the traffic situation
and maintain a safe distance at the side of
the vehicle.
If a vehicle is detected close to your vehicle in the
lateral monitoring range and you switch on the
turn signal indicator in the corresponding direc‐
tion, a warning tone sounds. The red warning
lamp in the outside mirror flashes. If the turn sig‐
nal indicator remains switched on, all other
detected vehicles are indicated only by the flash‐
ing of the red warning lamp.
If you overtake a vehicle quickly, no warning is
given.
Exit warning
The exit warning is an additional function of Blind
Spot Assist and warns vehicle occupants when
leaving the vehicle about any approaching vehi‐
cles.
& WARNING Risk of accident despite exit
warning
The exit warning reacts neither to stationary
objects nor to vehicles approaching you at a
greatly different speed.
As a result, the exit warning cannot warn driv‐
ers in these situations.
Always pay particular attention to the
#
traffic situation when opening the doors
and make sure there is sufficient clear‐
ance.
%
An exit warning is not issued for sliding doors
and rear-end doors.
Overview
When the vehicle is
stationary, an object
is detected from
behind in the monitor‐
ing range.
When the vehicle is
stationary, a door on
the relevant side of
the vehicle is opened.
An object which is
close to your vehicle
is detected in the
monitoring range.
%
This additional function is only available when
Blind Spot Assist is activated and up to a
maximum of three minutes after the ignition
has been switched off. The end of the availa‐
bility of the exit warning function is indicated
by a series of flashes in the outside mirror.
The exit warning function is only an aid and is no
substitute for the attentiveness of the vehicle
occupants. Responsibility always lies with the
