▌Function of the brake application of Active
Blind Spot Assist
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
20 mph (30 km/h) and approximately 125 mph
(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.

If a course-correcting brake application occurs,
the red warning lamp flashes in the outside mirror
and a warning tone sounds. In addition, a display

indicating the danger of a side collision
appears in the driver's display.
