due to insufficient illumination of the road,
highly variable shade conditions, or due to
rain, snow, fog or heavy spray
The system is impaired by glare, e.g. from
R
oncoming traffic, direct sunlight or reflections
The system is affected by dirt on the wind‐
R
screen in the area of the multifunction cam‐
era, or because the camera is misted up,
damaged or covered
The traffic signs are hard to detect, e.g. due
R
to dirt, because they are covered, due to
snow or insufficient lighting
The information in the navigation system's

Blind Spot Assist
Function of Blind Spot Assist with exit warn‐
ing
Blind Spot Assist uses two lateral, rear-facing
radar sensors to monitor the area directly next to
and on the side behind the vehicle.
& WARNING Risk of accident despite Blind
Spot Assist
Blind Spot Assist reacts neither to stationary
objects nor to vehicles approaching and over‐
taking you at a greatly different speed.
As a result, Blind Spot Assist cannot warn
drivers in these situations.
Always pay careful attention to the traf‐
#
fic situation and maintain a safe dis‐
tance 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 suf‐
ficient distance to the side for other road users
and obstacles.
If a vehicle is detected above speeds of approx‐
imately 12 km/h and this vehicle subsequently
enters the monitoring range directly next to your
vehicle, the warning lamp in the outside mirror
lights up red.
%
When a trailer is connected, the radar sen‐
sor's field of vision may be impaired, thereby
making limited monitoring possible. Always
pay careful attention to the traffic situation
and maintain a safe distance at the side of
the vehicle.
If a vehicle is detected close to your vehicle in the
lateral monitoring range and you switch on the
turn signal indicator in the corresponding direc‐
tion, a warning tone sounds. The red warning
lamp in the outside mirror flashes. If the turn sig‐
nal indicator remains switched on, all other
detected vehicles are indicated only by the flash‐
ing of the red warning lamp.
If you overtake a vehicle quickly, no warning is
given.
Exit warning
The exit warning is an additional function of Blind
Spot Assist and warns vehicle occupants when
