96 Opening and closing
* NOTE Risk of accident due to faulty sen-
sors
The sensors may malfunction because of snow
or due to objects that absorb ultrasonic
waves.
Make sure that the convenience doors
#
are free from dirt, ice or slush.
Be especially careful when opening the
#
convenience doors if other ultrasonic
sources are nearby.
* NOTE Risk of accidents if the detection
performance of the sensors in the conve-
nience doors is restricted
If the sensors are covered, the convenience
doors cannot function reliably.
Do not apply stickers, foils or other coat-
#
ings to the outside of the convenience
doors.
The sensors may otherwise be blocked
and obstacles may not be detected or
only detected to a limited extent.
Exit warning when opening the doors from inside
The exit warning of Active Blind Spot Assist is
used as an additional safeguard. If an obstacle is
detected, the convenience function is deactivated
and the moving door will be stopped.
Manually open a door stopped in an intermedi-
#
ate position.
& WARNING Risk of accident despite exit
warning
The exit warning neither reacts to stationary
objects nor to persons or road users
approaching you at a greatly differing speed.
The exit warning cannot warn drivers in these
situations.
Always pay particular attention to the
#
traffic situation when opening the doors
and make sure there is sufficient clear-
ance.
The exit warning is only an aid and not a substi-
tute for the attention of vehicle occupants. The
responsibility for opening and closing the doors
and for leaving the vehicle remains with the vehi-
cle occupants.

Blockage detection when opening the doors
If an obstacle obstructs a door during the auto-
matic opening process, blockage detection will
stop the door. The automatic blockage detection
function is only an aid and is not a substitute for
your attentiveness.
Manually open a door stopped in an intermedi-
#
ate position.
* NOTE Damage to the convenience doors
despite blockage detection
Blockage detection may not be able to stop
the automatic opening process of the doors in
all cases. This can be the case in particular
with light, soft objects.
Therefore, make sure that there is suffi-
#
cient clearance next to the vehicle.
