Active Blind Spot Assist
General notes
Active Blind Spot Assist monitors the areas on
either side of the vehicle that are not directly
visible to the driver with two lateral, rear-facing
radar sensors. A warning light in the exterior
mirrors draws your attention to vehicles detec-
ted in the monitored area. If you then switch on
the corresponding turn signal to change lanes,
you will also receive a visual and audible colli-
sion warning. If a risk of side impact is detected,
corrective braking may help you avoid a colli-
sion. Active Blind Spot Assist evaluates the free
space in the direction of travel and to the side
before making a course-correcting brake appli-
cation. For this, Active Blind Spot Assist uses
the forward-facing radar sensors.
Active Blind Spot Assist supports you from a
speed of approximately 30 km/h.
Important safety notes
Active Blind Spot Assist is only an aid and is not
a substitute for attentive driving.
