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

Functional limitations
The system may be limited in the following
situations:
▷
When a vehicle is approaching at a speed
much faster than your own.
▷
In tight corners or on narrow roads.
▷
The bumper is dirty, iced up or covered,
for instance by stickers.
Depending on the national-market version: the
steering intervention may be limited, for in-
stance in the following situations:
▷
In the event of missing, worn, poorly visible,
merging, diverging, or multiple lane boun-
daries such as in construction areas.
▷
With lane boundaries that are covered in
snow, ice, dirt or water.
▷
With lane boundaries that are not white.
▷
With lane boundaries that are covered by
objects.
▷

Safety
Side collision mitigation
Principle
The side-collision warning helps to avoid im-
minent side collisions.
General information
Radar sensors monitor the space next to the
vehicle when traveling faster than a minimum
speed and up to approx. 130 mph/210 km/h.
The minimum speed is country-specific and
displayed on the control display.
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 blinking LED in the exterior mir-
ror, a Check Control message and a vibrating
steering wheel. If necessary, the system will
carry out an active steering intervention.
Safety information
Follow the safety information in the "Forward
Collision Mitigation" chapter.
Functional requirement
The camera behind the windshield determines
the lane boundary positions.
The camera must detect the lane markings for
the side collision mitigation with steering inter-
vention to be active.
