& WARNING Risk of accident despite Active
Blind Spot Assist
Active Blind Spot Assist does not react in the
following situations:
If you overtake vehicles at a high speed.
R
If vehicles approach and overtake you at a
R
greatly different speed.
Active Blind Spot Assist may not give warnings
or intervene in such situations.
Always pay careful attention to the traffic
#
situation and maintain a safe distance at
the side of the vehicle.
If a course-correcting brake application occurs,
the red warning lamp flashes in the outside mirror
and a warning tone sounds. In addition, a display
1
indicating the danger of a side collision
appears in the driver's display.
In rare cases, the system may make an inappro-
priate brake application. This brake application
may be interrupted at any time if you steer slightly
in the opposite direction or accelerate.
