Blind Spo
tAssist General notes
Blind Spo tAssist monitors the areas on either
side of the vehicl ethata re not visible to the
driver with two lateral, rear-facing radar sen-
sors. Awarning display in the exterio rmirrors
draws your attentio ntovehicles detecte dinthe
monitore darea. If yo uthen switch on the cor-
responding turn signa ltochange lanes, yo uwill
also receive avisua land audibl ecollision warn-

Blind Spo tAssist supports yo ufrom aspeed of
approximatel y30km/h.
Important safety notes G
WARNING
Blind Spo tAssist does not react to vehicles:
R overtake ntoo closel yonthe side ,placing
them in the blind spo tarea
R when the difference in the speed of
approach and overtaking is too great
As aresult, Blind Spo tAssist canno twarn
driver sinthesesituations. There is ariskofan
accident.
Alway spaycarefu lattentio ntothe traffic sit-
uatio nand maintain asafed istance at the side
of the vehicle.
Blind Spo tAssist is onl yanaid.Itm ayfailto
detect som evehicles and is no substitute for
attentive driving .Alway sensure tha tther eis
sufficient distance to the side for othe rroad
users and obstacles.
Radar sensors
The radar sensors for Blind Spo tAssist are inte-
grated into the rea rbum per. Make sure tha tthe
bumpers are free from dirt, ice or slush. The
sensors must not be covered ,for exampl eby
cycl eracks or overhanging loads. Following a
severe impact or in the event of damage to the
bumpers, have the functio nofthe radar sensors
checked at aquali fied specialist workshop.
Blind Spo tAssist ma ynolonger work properly. Monitorin
grange
In particular, the detection of obstacle scan be
impaired in the cas eof:
R dirt on the sensors or obscured sensors
R poor visibility ,e.g.d ue to fog ,heavy rain,
snow or spray
R narrow vehicles, e.g .motorcycle sorbicycles
R ver yw idel an es
R narrow lanes
R vehicles not driving in the middl eoftheirlane
R barriers or othe rroa db oundaries
Vehicles in the monitoring rang eare then not

behind your vehicl eand directl ynext to your
vehicle, as shown in the diagram.
If the lanes are narrow ,vehicles driving in the
