Impaired radar sensor
WARNING
vision
The view of the radar sensor can be reduced in
tight bends, when approaching crests and in
adverse weather conditions (rain, snow, ice, heavy
spray). Vehicles will not be detected properly or
may not be detected at all.
e Keep the direction of travel and the relevant
area around the vehicle in view at all times.
Vehicles not detected
WARNING
– Lane Change Assist cannot alert you in good
time to vehicles approaching at high speed
from behind or vehicles that are falling back.
– Lane Change Assist will not work in tight bends
(corner radius of less than approx. 100 m).
– Lane Change Assist will only alert you to
approaching vehicles or vehicles in the blind-
spot area when you are driving at approx.
30 km/h (20 mph) or faster.
e Keep the direction of travel and the relevant
area around the vehicle in view at all times.
General information
– The system helps when driving at speeds
between approx. 30 km/h and 250 km/h
(20 mph and 156 mph).
– The warning indicator is designed so that it can
be noticed merely by glancing at the mirror
attachment point finisher.
– Lane Change Assist is not available if it detects
that the radar sensors for Lane Change Assist
are covered.
– The radar sensors can sometimes detect
other objects (e.g. high or raised crash
barriers), not just vehicles.
Information
e If the positions of the radar sensors were
changed following a rear-impact collision, for
example, always have the Lane Change Assist
system checked at a specialist workshop for
safety reasons.
Activating and deactivating
Lane Change Assist
Lane Change Assist is activated and deactivated

Assist (LCA) on and off" on page 266.
Information
To ensure that Lane Change Assist can work
properly:
e Do not cover the radar sensor area on the rear
bumper (Fig. 101) with objects (e.g. stickers).
Also remove any dirt, snow and ice from this
area.
e Do not cover the warning indicator on the
mirror attachment point finisher (e.g. with
stickers).
