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.

If a vehicle is detected close to your vehicle and
on D or 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 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.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your
responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recog‐
nize dangers ( page 167).

pants about approaching vehicles when leaving
