taken into account when observing the max-
imum permitted speed.

Lane Tracking package
General notes
The Lane Tracking package consists of Blind
Spot Assist (
page 244) and Lane Keeping
Y

page 246).
Y
Blind Spot Assist
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-
sors. A warning display in the exterior mirrors
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 and audible collision warn-
ing.
Blind Spot Assist supports you from a speed of
approximately 30 km/h.
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Blind Spot Assist does not react to vehicles:
overtaken too closely on the side, placing
R
them in the blind spot area
when the difference in the speed of
R
approach and overtaking is too great
As a result, Blind Spot Assist cannot warn
drivers in these situations. There is a risk of an
accident.
Always pay careful attention to the traffic sit-
uation and maintain a safe distance 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
sufficient distance to the side for other road
users and obstacles.
