General notes
Blind Spot Assist uses a radar sensor system
to monitor the areas on both sides of your
vehicle. It is active from a speed of approx.
20 mph (30 km/h). A warning display in the
exterior mirrors draws your attention to
vehicles detected in the monitored area. If
you then switch on the corresponding turn
signal to change lane, you will also receive an
optical and audible collision warning. Blind
Spot Assist uses sensors in the rear bumper
for monitoring purposes.
For Blind Spot Assist to assist you when
driving, the radar sensor system must be
activated (Y page 206) and operational.
Monitoring range of the sensors G
WARNING
Blind Spot Assist monitors certain areas in the
immediate vicinity of your vehicle. Vehicles
that approach and drive past at high speeds
are not detected. There is no display and no
warning.
If the lanes are very wide, it may not be
possible to monitor the complete width of the
neighboring lane. For this reason, vehicles in
the next lane may not be detected, especially
if they are driving in a staggered formation.
This may be the case if vehicles are driving at
that edge of their lane which is furthest away
from your vehicle.
Always pay attention to traffic conditions and
your surroundings. Otherwise, you may fail to
recognize dangers in time, cause an accident
and injure yourself and others. Blind Spot Assist monitors the area up to
10 ft (3.0m) behind your vehicle and directly
next to your vehicle, as shown in the diagram.
For this purpose, Blind Spot Assist uses radar
sensors in the rear bumper.
If the lanes are narrow, vehicles driving in the
lane beyond the lane next to your vehicle may
be indicated, especially if the vehicles are not
driving in the middle of their lane. This may
be the case if there are vehicles driving at the
inner edge of their lanes.
Due to the nature of the system:
R
warnings may be issued in error when
driving close to crash barriers or similar
solid lane borders.
R the warning is canceled when driving for an
extended period next to long vehicles, such
as trucks.
The two radar sensors for Blind Spot Assist
are integrated into the sides of the rear
bumper. Make sure that the bumper is free
from dirt, ice or slush around the sensors. The
sensors must not be covered, for example by
cycle racks or overhanging loads. Following a
severe impact or in the event of damage to
the bumpers, have the function of the sensors
checked at a qualified specialist workshop.
Blind Spot Assist may otherwise not work
properly. 186

Indicator and warning display
G
WARNING
Blind Spo tAssist is not active at speeds below
approximately 20 mph (30 km/h). The
indicator lamps in the exterior mirrors are
yellow. Vehicles in the monitoring range are
then not indicated.
Always pay attention to traffic conditions and
your surroundings. Otherwise, you may fail to
recognize dangers in time, cause an accident
and injure yourselfa nd others. 0003
Yellow indicator lamp/red warning lamp
Whe nBlind Spot Assist is activated, indicator
lamp 0003lights up yellow in the exterior
mirrors up to a vehicle speed of 20 mph
(30 km/h). From a speed of 20 mph
(30 km/h) the indicator lamp goes out and
Blind Spot Assist is operational.
If a vehicle is detected in the monitoring range
of Blind Spot Assist fro maspeed of approx.
20 mph (30 km/h), warning lamp 0003lights up
red on the corresponding side. This warning
is always emitted when a vehicle enters the
blind spot monitoring range from behind or
from the side. If you overtake a vehicle, a
warning will only be given if the difference in
speed is less than 7mph (12 km/h).
The yellow indicator lamp goes out if reverse
gear is engaged. In this event, Blind Spot
Assist is no longer active.
The brightness of the indicator/warning
lamps is adjusted automatically according to
the ambient light. Collision warning

of Blind Spot Assist and you switch on the
corresponding turn signal, a double warning
tone sounds. Red warning lamp

the turn signal remains on, vehicles detected
are indicated by the flashing of red warning
lamp 0003.There are no further warning tones.

Lane Keeping Assist Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Lane Keeping Assist does not keep your
vehicle in its lane. It is only an aid and may
detect the lane markings on the road
incorrectly or not at all.
The system may be impaired or may not
function if:
R there is poor visibility, e.g. due to
insufficient illumination of the road, or due
to snow, rain, fog or spray.
R there is glare, e.g. from oncoming traffic,
the sun, or reflection from other vehicles.
R the windshield is dirty, fogged up or
covered, for instance by a sticker, in the
vicinity of the camera.
R several or no lane markings for a single lane
are present.
R the lane markings are worn away, dark or
covered up, e.g. by dirt or snow.
R the distance to the vehicle in front is too
small and the lane markings thus cannot be
detected. Driving systems
187Driving and parking

R
the lane markings on the road are unclear,
e.g .near roadworks.
R the lane markings change quickly, e.g.
lanes branch off, cross one another or
merge.
R the road is narrow and winding.
Lane Keeping Assist cannot detect road and
traffic conditions. It is not a substitute for
attentive driving. You are responsible for the
vehicle's speed, braking in good time, and
steering correctly. Always adapt your driving
style to suit the prevailing road and weather
conditions. Always pay attention to traffic
conditions and your surroundings. Otherwise,
you may fail to recognize dangers in time,
cause an acciden tand injure yoursel fand
others.
General notes Lane Keeping Assist monitors the area in
front of your vehicle with camera
0003, which is
mounted at the top of the windshield .Lane
