radar sensors to monitor the area up to 40 m
behind and 3 m next to your vehicle.
The system can detect vehicles travelling from
speeds of approximately 12 km/h and issue a
warning if they move into the monitoring range.

red. In the Assistance menu, the lamp in outside
mirror 1 also lights up red, and the lane in which
the vehicle is detected is hatched out.
If a vehicle is detected in the monitoring range
and you switch on the turn signal indicator in the
corresponding direction, a double warning tone
