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

drivers in these situations. There is a risk of an
accident.
Always pay careful attention to the traffic sit-

of the vehicle.
Monitoring range of the sensors
Blind Spot Assist monitors the area up to
3.0 m behind your vehicle and directly next to
your vehicle, as shown in the diagram. For this
purpose, Blind Spot Assist uses radar sensors
in the rear bumper.
If the lanes are narrow, vehicles driving in the
lane beyond the lane next to your vehicle may
be indicated, especially if the vehicles are not
