Side assist functions at speeds above approx i-
mately 19 mph (30 km/h).
@ Vehicles th at are approaching
In certain cases, a vehicle will be classified as
critical for a lane change even if it is still
somewhat far away. The fas ter a vehicle ap-
proaches, t he sooner the display in the exteri-
or m irror will t urn on.
@
Vehicles traveling with you
Vehicles traveling with you are indicated in the
exterior m irror if they are classified as critical
for a lane change. All vehicles detec t ed by
side assist are indicated by the ti me t hey en-
t er your "blind spot", at the latest.

Vehicles left behind
If you s lowly pass a vehi cle that s ide assist has
detected (the difference in speed between the
vehicle and you r vehicle is less than 9 mph or
15 km/h), the display in the exterio r mir ror
turns on as soon as the vehicle enters your
blind spot.
The disp lay will not t urn on if you quickly pass
a vehicle that side assist has detected (the dif-
ference in speed between the veh icle and your
vehicle is greater than 9 mph or 15 km/h).
Functional limitations
The radar sensors are designed to detect the
left and right adjacent lanes when the road
lanes are the normal width. In some sit ua-
tions, the d isp lay in the exterior mirror may
turn on even though there is no vehicle locat-
ed in the area that is critical for a lane cha nge.
For example:
- If the lanes are narrow or if your are driving
on the edge of your lane. If this is the case,
the system may have detected the vehicle in
another lane that is
not
adjacent to you r
current lane .
- If you are dr iving through a curve . Side as-
sis t may react to a vehicle that is one lane
over
from the adjacent lane.
- If side assist reacts to other objects (such as
high or d isp laced guard rails) .
- In poor weather conditions. The side assist
functions are limited .
Do not cover the radar sensors
