ent lighting: the
Warning assistance
ambient lighting can be activated and deacti-
vated (

%
The warning assistance can differ depending
on the equipment and may vary according to
the setting.
This exit warning is only available when Blind Spot
Assist or Active Blind Spot Assist is active.
After the vehicle is switched off, the exit warning
continues to function for a few minutes. If a door
is opened while the vehicle is switched off, the
exit warning is active again for a few minutes.
When the outside mirror warning lamp flashes
three times, the exit warning is no longer availa-
ble.
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.
