Adapt your speed and distance from the
vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather,
road and traffic conditions.
·

accidents and serious injuries on its own.
·
If the radar sensor or the front camera
are covered or have been displaced,
Emergency Assist may carry out unwan-
ted braking or steering interventions.

sons, animals or vehicles crossing or ap-
proaching in the same lane.
WARNING

Lane change system (Side
Assist)
Introduction to the topic
The lane change assist system (Side As-
sist) provides assistance when checking
for traffic behind the vehicle.
Radar sensors monitor the area behind the
vehicle. The system measures the distance
and speed difference in relation to other ve-
hicles and informs the driver by means of vis-
ual signals in the wing mirrors.
System limits
Use the lane change system only on surfaced
roads.
The lane change system may interpret the
traffic situation incorrectly in the following
driving situations, for example:
— In tight bends.
— When driving in the middle of two lanes.
— When road lanes are of varying width.
— At crests in the road.
— In poor weather conditions.
— Where there are special roadside struc-
tures, e.g. high or offset crash barriers.
WARNING
The intelligent technology used in the lane
change system cannot overcome the physi-
cal limits specified, and functions only
within the limits of the system. Do not let
the increased convenience of the lane
change system tempt you into taking any
safety risks. Always take care when using
the lane change system as you could other-
