Intersection Assist

General Safety Instructions
Restricted detection
WARNING
around the vehicle
Detection of the area around the vehicle by the sen-
sors (e.g. camera, radar) may be restricted by differ-
ent influencing factors (e.g. rain, snow, ice, heavy
water spray, oncoming headlights, dirt or damage).
As a result, warnings might not be activated.
e Drive with extreme care.
e Always pay attention to the traffic situation and
the vehicle surroundings.
e Clean the front camera lens and front radars
regularly and keep them free of snow and ice.
e Do not cover the sensors.
e Check the windshield for damage in the area of
the camera lens at regular intervals.
No warning jolt
WARNING
When PSM is switched off, no warning jolt is trig-
gered ahead of a possible collision. In this case, the
system only warns the driver by issuing a visual and
acoustic warning.
e Adapt your driving style and driving maneuvers
to the current situation.
System limitations
The system is available
WARNING
to a limited extent
The assistance provided by the system cannot be
guaranteed in certain situations. Such situations
include:
– Pedestrians or animals are not detected.
– Cyclists may not always be detected.
– Vehicles approaching very fast or very slowly
may not always be detected in time.
– Highly reflective surroundings (e.g. steel bridges,
railings) can cause incorrect warnings or prevent
warnings from being issued.
– Crossing objects that accelerate or change driv-
ing behavior (e.g. sudden turn-offs) can cause
incorrect warnings or prevent warnings from
being issued.
– When turning off, if the vehicle is not facing in
the direction of the driving lane (but is inclined
diagonally, at a right angle to it or sharply upward
or downward), approaching vehicles may not be
detected or may not be detected in time.
– When your vehicle accelerates from a stillstand,
the system may not detect a turn-off or may only
detect a turn-off after a delay under certain cir-
cumstances. The system may assume you are
driving straight on and generate a false collision
warning.
e Drive with extreme care.
e Always pay attention to the traffic situation and
the vehicle surroundings.
Responding to warning symbols
Always observe any warning and information mes-
sages displayed in the vehicle.
> Please see chapter "Warning and information
messages" on page 244.
Operating principle
Intersection Assist monitors the areas around the
front and sides of the vehicle at intersections and
Intersection Assist
exits. The areas are monitored by the camera and
radar sensors integrated in the vehicle.
In the event of a possible collision, the system warns
the driver by means of visual and acoustic signals on
the instrument cluster and central display and by
initiating a brief warning jolt if necessary.
Display elements
Fig. 83: Intersection Assist display on the instrument cluster
If the system detects a possible collision, it warns
the driver by issuing a warning tone and displaying a
collision warning.
In another display, red arrows also indicate the di-
rection from which the cross traffic is approaching.
– This is indicated in the central display only when
ParkAssist is activated.
– The display on the instrument cluster only ap-
pears when the ACC main menu is activated.
