The unit for the speed limit (km/h or mph)
depends on the country in which you are
driving. It is generally neither shown on the
traffic sign nor on the instrument cluster
but must be taken into account when
observing the maximum permitted speed.
No entry (wrong-way warning)
If no entry signs are passed, a warning mes-
sage is displayed in the instrument cluster
should Traffic Sign Assist detect that you are
driving in the wrong direction. You will then
also hear a warning tone. You should imme-
diately check your direction of travel in order
to avoid danger to yourself and other road
users.

General notes

Spot Assist (

Y
Blind Spot Assist
General notes
Blind Spot Assist uses a radar sensor system
to monitor the areas on both sides of your
vehicle. It supports you from speeds of
30 km/h. A warning display in the exterior
mirrors draws your attention to vehicles
detected in the monitored area. If you then
switch on the corresponding turn signal to
change lanes, you will also receive an optical
and audible collision warning. For monitoring,
Blind Spot Assist uses sensors in the rear
bumper.
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Blind Spot Assist does not react to vehicles:
overtaken too closely on the side, placing
R
them in the blind spot area
when the difference in the speed of
R
approach and overtaking is too great
As a result, Blind Spot Assist cannot warn
drivers in these situations. There is a risk of an
accident.
Always pay careful attention to the traffic sit-
uation and maintain a safe distance 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
sufficient distance to the side for other road
users and obstacles.
