General notes
Blind Spot Assist monitors the areas on either
side of the vehicle that are not visible to the
driver with two lateral, rear-facing radar sen-

draws your attention to vehicles detected in the
monitored area. If you then switch on the cor-
responding turn signal to change lanes, you will
also receive a visual warning and hear a warning
tone.
Blind Spot Assist supports you from a speed of
approximately 20 mph (30 km/h).
