The Rear Traffic Alert and Wizard for “blind spot” monitoring works based on
the information from the radar sensors in the rear bumper » Fig. 273. The radar
sensors are not visible from the outside.
Rear Traffic Alert
The Rear Traffic Alert (hereinafter referred to as system) warns when leaving a
parking space from a transverse parking space about any approaching vehi-
cles.
If necessary, the system tries to avoid a collision with automatic braking, or at
least to mitigate the consequences.
Wizard for “blind spot”monitoring
The wizard for“blind spot monitoring” (hereafter referred to as system) draws
attention to vehicles travelling in the same direction in the next lane in the so-
called blind spots.
The “blind spot” is an area that is not easily visible in a rear-view mirror or even
directly from the vehicle.WARNINGThe general information relating to the use of assistance systems must be
observed » page 215, in section Introduction .WARNING■
In the case of a collision or damage to the rear of the vehicle, the function
of the systems may be affected - risk of accident! Have the vehicle checked
by a specialist garage.■
Do not cover the sensor area - the function of the systems could be limi-
ted. ■ Remove snow, ice and such obstacles from the sensor environment im-
mediately.
WARNINGThe wizard for “blind spot”monitoring is limited by physical and system-re-
lated limits. Therefore, in the following situations the system can be de-
layed in drawing attention (or not at all) to a vehicle in the next land.■
When a vehicle is approaching at a very high speed.
■
When passing through a very sharp curve or a roundabout.
CAUTION
■ If a trailer or other accessory is to be connected to the trailer socket, then
the two systems are not available.■
In adverse weather conditions (heavy rain, water vapour, very low or high
temperatures, etc.), the system function may be limited - “failure to recognise
a vehicle”.
■
Accessories additionally installed on the vehicle rear, such as bicycle carriers,
can impair the system function.

D
at a greater speed of max. 10
km » Fig. 276 . If the speed during the overtaking is even higher, then there is
no warning by the warning light.
The warning display is always in the exterior mirror on the side of the vehicle where a vehicle is detected in the “blind spot”.
The greater the speed difference between the two vehicles, the earlier the
warning (by means of the warning light) regarding the vehicle that is overtak-
ing you takes place.
Two warning levels

light up - a vehicle has been detected in the “blind spot”.

flash - a vehicle has been detected in the “blind spot” and the turn signal is
switched on .
An advanced warning for vehicles with Lane Assist

flash also if the steering wheel is turned in the direction of the vehicle in
the “blind spot” . Therefore the Lane Assist » page 254 must be enabled and
the boundary line between the vehicles detected.
If in this case your vehicle indicates crossing the boundary line, with a short vi-
bration of the steering wheel.
NoteThe brightness of the indicator light  is dependent on the setting of the ve-
hicle lighting. With the low or high beam on the brightness of the light will be
lower.

Mild soap solution = 2 tablespoons of natural soap to 1 litre of lukewarm water.
The jack is maintenance-free. If necessary, the moving parts of the jack should
be lubricated with a suitable lubricant.
The towing device is maintenance-free. Coat the ball head of the towing de-
vice with a suitable grease whenever necessary.
Protection of hollow spaces
All the hollow spaces on your vehicle which are at risk from corrosion are pro-
tected for life by a layer of protective wax applied in the factory.
If any small amount of wax flow out of the cavities at high temperatures, these
must be removed with a plastic scraper and the stains cleaned using a petrole-
um cleaner.
Underbody protection
The underside of your vehicle is already permanently protected by the factory
against chemical and mechanical influences.
We recommend having the protective coating underneath the vehicle and the
chassis checked — preferably before the beginning of winter and at the end of winter.
Product life of the films
Environmental influences (e.g. sunlight, humidity, air pollution, rockfall) affect
the life of the films. Films will age and become brittle – this is entirely normal:
this is not a fault.
Sunlight may also affect the strength of the film colour.
When transporting a load on the roof rack (e.g. roof box or similar), there is an
increased risk of film damage (e.g. of chipping from the secured load).
CAUTION
■ Vehicle paint
■ Damaged areas should be repaired as soon as possible.
■ Do not treat painted parts with or hard waxes.
■ Do not polish the paintwork in a dusty environment - risk of paint scratch-
es. ■ Do not apply any paint care products to door seals or window guides.■
Plastic parts
■ Do not use paint care products.
■
Chromed and anodised parts
■ Do not polish the chrome parts in a dusty environment - risk of surface
scratches.
■
Foils
The following instructions must be observed, otherwise there is a risk of foil
damage.
■ Do not clean with dirty cloths or sponges.
■ To remove ice and snow, do not use a scraper or other means.
■ Do not polish the foils
■ Do not use a pressure washer to clean the foils
■
Rubber seals
■ Do not treat the door seals and window guides with any products - the pro-
tective lacquer layer could be affected.
■
Windows and external mirror glass
■ Do not clean the inside of the windows with sharp objects - there is a risk
of damage to the filaments or glass antenna. ■ Do not use a cloth, which was used to polish the body - this could soil the
window and reduce visibility.
■
Headlights/lights ■ Do not dry off the headlights/lights, do not use sharp objects - there is a
risk of damage to the protective coating and subsequent cracking of the
headlight glass. 
