Blind Spot Assist
Function of Blind Spot Assist
Blind Spot Assist uses two lateral, rear-facing
radar sensors to monitor the area up to 40 m
behind and 3 m directly next to your vehicle.
If a vehicle is detected at speeds above approx‐
imately 12 km/h and this vehicle subsequently
enters the monitoring range directly next to your
vehicle, the warning lamp in the outside mirror
lights up red.
If a vehicle is detected close to the side of your
vehicle, the red warning lamp in the outside mir‐
ror flashes. If you switch on the turn signal indi‐
cator in the corresponding direction, a warning
tone sounds once. If the turn signal indicator
remains switched on, all other detected vehicles
are indicated only by the flashing of the red
or None.
warning lamp.
If you overtake a vehicle quickly, no warning is
given.
& WARNING Risk of accident despite Blind
Spot Assist
Blind Spot Assist does not react to vehicles
approaching and overtaking you at a greatly
different speed.
Blind Spot Assist cannot warn drivers in this
situation.
