Vehicles traveling with

Vehicles
traveling w ith you are indicated in the
exterior mirror if they are
classified
as critical for
a lane
change.
All vehicles detected
by
side assist
100
are
indicated by
the time they enter your "blind
spot", at the latest.

Vehicles left behind
If you slowly pass a veh icle
that
side assist has
detected (the difference in
speed
between the ve-
hicle and your vehicle is
less than
9 mph (1
S km/
h)), the display in the exterior mirror turns on as
soon as the vehicle enters your blind spot.
The display will not
turn
on
if
you quickly pass a
vehicle that side ass ist has detected (the
differ-
ence in speed
between the
vehicle and your vehi-
cle is greater than 9 mph (15 km/h)).
Functional limitations
The radar senso rs are
designed to detect
the
left
and
right adjacent
lanes when
the
road lanes are
the normal width.
In
certain
situations
,
the dis-
play
in the exterior mirror may turn on even
though there is no vehicle located
in
the area that
is critical for a
lane
change. For example:
-
if
the
lanes are
narrow
or if your are dr iving on
the edge of your lane.
If
t his is the case, the
system may have detected the vehicle in anoth-
er lane that
is
not
adjacent to your current
lane
.
-
if yo
u
are
driving
through a
curve.
Side assist
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 disp laced guard
rails)
.
-
In
poor
weather conditions
.
The side assist
functions are
lim
ited.
Do
no
t
cover
the
radar senso
rs
q
fig.
117
with
stickers,
deposits, bicycle
wheels or other
ob-
jects, because
this will affect the function
.
Do
not
use
side assist when towing a trailer. For infor
-
mation on cleaning, refer to
q
page 184.
A
WARNING
-
Always pay attention to traffic and to the
area around your veh icle. Side ass ist cannot
replace a dr iver's attention.
The
driver alone
is always
responsible for
lane changes and
sim
ilar
driv ing
maneuvers.
