218 Driving and parking
& WARNING Risk of accident despite exit
warning
The exit warning reacts neither to stationary
objects nor to vehicles approaching you at a
greatly different speed.
As a result, the exit warning cannot warn
drivers in these situations.
Always pay particular attention to the
#
traffic situation when opening the doors
and make sure there is sufficient clear‐
ance.
If there is a vehicle in the monitoring range, this
is indicated in the outside mirror. If a vehicle
occupant opens the door on the side with the
warning, a warning tone sounds and the warning
lamp in the outside mirror starts to flash.
This additional function is only available when
Blind Spot Assist is activated and up to a maxi‐
mum of three minutes after the ignition has
been switched off. The exit warning is no longer
available once the warning lamp in the outside
mirror flashes three times.
The exit warning is only an aid and not a substi‐
tute for the attention of vehicle occupants. The
responsibility for opening and closing the doors
and for leaving the vehicle remains with the vehi‐
cle occupants.

ders. Warnings may be interrupted when driving
