critical, the warning lamp@ on the exterior mir­
ror lights up¢ Fig. 96.
The warning lamp on the left-hand mirror assists
the driver when changing lane towards the left
and the warning lamp on the right-hand mirror
assists the driver when changing lane towards
the right.
Information mode
As long as you do not operate the turn signal, the
side assist will merely inform you of the presence
of vehicles that it has detected and judges to be
critical. In this case, the warning lamp on the rel­
evant exterior mirror will light up at low intensi­
ty.
The intensity of the warning lamp in this infor­
mation mode is kept relatively low, so that it
does not distract you while you are looking at the
road in front.
Warning mode
If you operate the turn signal, the side assist will
warn you if it registers what it judges to be a crit­
ical vehicle. In this case, the warning lamp on the
relevant exterior mirror will flash brightly. Please
check the situation in the exterior mirror and by
looking back over your shoulder ¢.&. in General
notes on page 89.
@ Note
You can adjust the brightness of the warning
lamp on the exterior mirror¢ page 90.

Fig. 98 Rear of vehicle: Location of the sensors (example)
The side assist is active above a speed of
about 30 km/h.
® Vehicles approaching from behind
In certain cases, a vehicle is judged to be critical
in the event of a lane change even if it is still
some distance away. The faster a vehicle ap­
proaches, the earlier the warning will appear on
the exterior mirror.
@ Vehicles moving at a similar speed
The warning lamp in the relevant exterior mirror
will warn you of vehicles that are moving with the
flow of traffic at about the same speed as you if
they are judged to be critical in the event of a ..,.

change. In all cases, the side assist will give
a warning for the vehicles it has detected at the
latest when they enter the "blind spot".
© Other vehicles being overtaken
When you are overtaking another vehicle slowly,
with a speed differential of less than 15 km/h,
the warning lamp in the exterior mirror will light
up as soon as the other vehicle enters your blind
spot.
If you are overtaking another vehicle quickly, with
a speed differential of more than 15 km/h, the
warning lamp will not light up.
System limitations
The radar sensors are designed for normal lane
widths and monitor the lanes immediately to the
left and right of your vehicle. In certain situations
the warning lamp on one of the exterior mirrors
may light up even if no vehicle is travelling in an
area that could be critical in the event of a lane
change. For example:
- When you are travelling in a narrow lane or
when you are not travelling in the centre of the
lane. In this case the system may monitor an­
other lane and register a vehicle that is not in
fact travelling in an adjacent lane.
- When you are driving into a bend. The side as­
sist may react to a vehicle two lanes away.
- If the system detects other objects (such as
crash barriers, etc).
- In poor weather conditions. The functionality of
the side assist is then restricted.
The radar sensors ¢ Fig. 98 must not be obstruc­
ted by stickers, bicycle racks, deposits or any oth­
er substances which could impair the function of
the system. For notes on cleaning, please refer to
¢page 236.
.&_ WARNING
-Always watch the road and the area sur­
rounding the vehicle. The side assist feature
is not a substitute for the full concentration
of the driver. The driver is always responsi­
ble for the safety of lane changes and other
manoeuvres. Driver
assist systems
- In certain situations, the system may not
function properly, or the functionality of the
system may be restricted. For example:
- If other vehicles are approaching very
qui ckly, or if you are overtaking other
vehicles quickly. The warning lamp may
not light up in time.
- In poor weather conditions, such as heavy
rain, snow or road spray.
- If you are travelling in very wide lanes, in
tight bends or over crests. The system may
not detect vehicles in the adjacent lane
because they are outside the area covered
by the sensors.
CD CAUTION
Impacts or damage to the bumper, wheel
arches or underbody can cause misalignment
of the sensors. This can impair the functional­
ity of the system. Have the systems checked
by a qualified workshop.
� Note
The warning lamps on the exterior mirrors
may not be properly visible if tinted foil is af­
fixed to the side windows on the driver's or
passenger's side.

The brightness of the warning lamp in both the
information and warning modes is regulated au­
tomatically according to the ambient light level.
If you are in very dark or very light surroundings
when you adjust the brightness of the warning
lamp, the automatic brightness control may al­
ready have reached the lowest or the brightest
setting. In such a case it is possible that you
won't notice a difference while you are adjusting
the brightness or that you will only notice it once
the light surroundings have changed.
Please adjust the brightness of the warning lamp
for the information mode so that it does not dis­
tract you while you are looking at the road in
front. When you change the brightness, the
warning lamp on the exterior mirror will light up
briefly with the intensity set for the information
mode. The intensity of the lamp in the warning
mode is linked to the intensity in the information
mode and is adjusted automatically.

aids
General notes
Applies to vehicles: with rear parking aid/parking system
plus/park assist
Various systems are available to help you when
parking or manoeuvring in tight spaces, depend­
ing on the equipment fitted on your vehicle.
The rear parking aid gives an acoustic warning if
there are any obstacles behind the car
¢page 93.
When you are parking, the parking system plus
warns you acoustically and optically about obsta­
cles detected in front of and behind the vehicle
¢ page 94. On vehicles with park assist, the
area detected at the side of the vehicle ®
¢page 94, Fig. 101 is also monitored.
The park assist helps you to find suitable parking
spaces, to manoeuvre the vehicle into spaces par­
allel or perpendicular to the roadside and to drive
out of spaces parallel to the kerb ¢ page 95.
.&_ WARNING
- Always watch the road and the area sur­
rounding the vehicle. The electronic systems
cannot replace the full concentration of the
driver. The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and all other manoeu­
vres.
- Please note that certain surfaces, such as
clothing fabrics, cannot be detected or dis­
played by the system -risk of accident!
- Sensors have blind spots in which neither
people nor objects are registered. It is par­
ticularly important to ensure that there are
no small children or animals near the vehi­
cle -risk of accident!
- Always keep a close watch on the area
around the vehicle and make full use of the
rear-view mirrors.
CD CAUTION
- The system may not always be able to de­
tect objects such as the following:
- Chains, trailer draw bars, posts or fences Parking
aids
- Objects above the sensors, such as wall
protrusions, etc.
- Objects with certain surfaces or struc­
tures, such as wire fences or powder snow
- As your car moves closer to low obstacles,
they may disappear from the sensors' field
of vision. Please note that you will no longer
be warned about these obstacles.
- Impacts or damage to the radiator grille,
bumper, wheel arches or underbody can
cause misalignment of the sensors. This can
impair the effectiveness of the parking aids.
Have the systems checked by a qualified
workshop.
{D) Note
- In certain situations, a warning may be giv­
en by the system even if there is no obstacle
within range of the sensors. This can be
caused by the following, for instance:
- Certain road surfaces or long grass
- External ultrasound sources, e.g. from
street cleaning vehicles
- Heavy rain or snow or dense exhaust
fumes
- To familiarise yourself with the system, we
recommend that you practise parking in a
quiet location or a car park. The weather
and light conditions should be good.
- You can adjust the volume of the beeps.
- To ensure that the acoustic parking aid
works properly, the sensors must be kept
clean and free of snow and ice.
- There is a slight delay in the picture display.
