CONTROLS
For vehicles with side collision mitigation, the
steering intervention can be limited, for instance
in the following situation:
▷ In the event of missing, worn, poorly visible,
merging, diverging, or multiple lane markings
such as in construction areas.
▷ When lane markings are covered in snow, ice,
dirt or water.
▷ When lane markings are not white.
▷ When lane markings are covered by objects.
▷ When driving very close to the vehicle in front
of you.
▷ If the camera is impaired.
▷ Up to 10 seconds after the start of the engine
via the Start/Stop button.
A Check Control message is displayed when the
system is not fully functional.
Displaying warnings
Depending on the selected warning settings,
e.g., warning time, more or fewer warnings can
be displayed. However, there may also be an ex‐
cess of premature warnings of critical situations.
Side collision mitigation
Concept

sions.

Online Edition for Part no. 01405A2C923 - II/21
General information
Radar sensors monitor the space next to the ve‐
hicle when traveling faster than a minimum
speed of up to approx. 130 mph/210 km/h.
The minimum speed is country-specific and is
displayed in the menu for the intelligent Safety
systems.
The front camera determines the lane marking
positions.
If, for instance, another vehicle is detected next
to the vehicle and if there is a risk of collision with
this vehicle, the system helps avoid the collision.
For this purpose, the system issues a warning
with a flashing LED in the exterior mirror and a vi‐
brating steering wheel. If necessary, the system
will carry out an active steering intervention.
Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute for the
driver's personal judgment in assessing visibility
and traffic situation. There is a risk of accident.
Adjust driving style to traffic conditions. Watch
traffic closely and actively intervene where ap‐
propriate.
Warning
Indicators and warnings cannot serve as a sub‐
stitute for the driver's personal judgment. Due
to its limits, the system may not issue warnings
or reactions, or these may be issued late or in a
manner that is not consistent with their normal
