Blind Spot Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist
▌Function of Blind Spot Assist and Active Blind
Spot Assist with exit warning
Blind Spot Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist use
radar sensors to monitor the area up to 130 ft
(40 m) behind and 10 ft (3 m) next to your vehicle.
The system can detect vehicles traveling at
speeds of approximately 8 mph (12 km/h) and
above and issue a warning if they move into the
monitoring range.

If a vehicle is detected at speeds above approx-
imately 8 mph (12 km/h) and this vehicle enters
the warning range immediately afterwards, the
warning lamp on the corresponding outside mirror
will light up red. On the
Assistance
menu, the
lamp on outside mirror
1
will also light up red,
and the lane in which the vehicle is detected will
be hatched out.
If a vehicle is detected in the warning range and
you switch on the turn signal indicator in the cor-
responding direction, a double warning tone will
sound once and the warning lamp on the corre-
sponding outside mirror will flash red. Red radar
waves

will be displayed next to your vehicle on
the assistant display.
If the turn signal indicator remains on, the indica-
tor on the outside mirror will flash for all other
detected vehicles, but no further warning tone will
sound. If you overtake a vehicle quickly, no warn-
ing will be given.
