The warning lights in the instrument cluster indicate certain functions or
faults.
Some warning lights can be accompanied by acoustic signals and messages in
the display of the instrument cluster.
After switching on the ignition, some warning lights light up briefly as a func-
tion test. If the tested systems are OK, the corresponding warning lights go
out a few seconds after switching on the ignition or after starting the engine.
The warning lights are located at the following positions in the instrument
cluster » Fig. 18 on page 32 .

Wizard for “Blind Spot”Monitoring - OperationRead and observe
and on page 219 first.
At a speed over 15 km/h, the area alongside and behind the vehicle is moni-
tored by the system. At the same time, the distance and the difference in
speed between your vehicle and the other vehicles in the monitored area can
be measured.
When driving, the sensors monitor an area to the left and right to the extent of
a normal lane width.
If a vehicle is detected in the “blind spot” area, the system indicates this vehi-
cle by the indicator light in the exterior mirror.
System constraint
The system is unable to recognise the specific lane width by means of sensors.
Therefore this can e.g. in the following cases respond to a vehicle in a further
lane.
▶ When driving on a road with narrow lanes or on the lane edge.
▶ Driving around a bend.
The system may also respond to objects on the roadside such as crash barriers,
noise barriers or similar objects.

warnings

▶ You vehicle

A
» Fig. 273 .
▶ Your vehicle
C
overtakes the vehicle
D
at a greater speed of max. 10
km » Fig. 274 . 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 243 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.
