Blind Spot Assist
%
The brake application function is only availa-
ble for vehicles with a Driving Assistance
Package.
If Active Blind Spot Assist detects a risk of a side
impact in the monitoring range, a course-correct-
ing brake application is carried out. This is
designed to help you avoid a collision.
The course-correcting brake application is availa-
ble in the speed range between approximately
30 km/h and approximately 200 km/h.
& WARNING Risk of accident despite brake
application of Active Blind Spot Assist
A course-correcting brake application cannot
always prevent a collision.
Always steer, brake or accelerate your-
#
self, especially if Active Blind Spot Assist
warns you or makes a course-correcting
brake application.
Always maintain a safe distance at the
#
sides.
