Ve hicles with Blind Spot Assis t:Dr ivers can
also be warned of any crossing traf fic when

Function of Blind Spot Assist and Active
Blind Spot Assi st
Blind Spot Assist uses two lateral,rear-facing
ra dar sensors tomonitor the area up to130ft
(40 m) behind your vehicle and 10ft(3 m)
directly next to yourvehicle.
If a vehicle is de tected at speeds ab ove appr ox‐
imately 8 mph (12 km/h) and this vehicle subse‐
qu ent lyenters the monitoring range di rectly next to yo
urvehicle, thewa rning lamp in the outside
mir ror lights up red.
If a vehicle is de tected close to yourvehicle in
th e lateral monitoring range and youswit chon
th e turn signal indicator in the cor responding
direction, a warning tone sounds once. The red
wa rning lamp in the outside mir rorflashes. If the
turn signal indica torre mains on, all other de tec‐
te dve hicles are indicated only bytheflashing of
th ere dwa rning lamp.
If yo uove rtake a vehicle quickl y,no warning is
given.
& WARNING Risk of accident despite Blind
Spot Assist
Blind Spot Assist does notreact tovehicles
approaching and overtaking you at a greatly
di fferent speed.
As a result, Blind Spot Assist cannot warn
drivers in this situation.
#Alw ays pay careful attention tothe traf‐
fi c situation and maintain a safe dis‐
ta nce at the side of theve hicle.
Blind Spot Assist and Active Blind Spot Assi st
are only aids. They may failto detect some vehi‐
cles and are no substitute for attentive driving.
Alw ays ensure that there is suf ficient dist anceto
th e side forot her road users and obs tacles.
Sy stem limitations
The de tection capability of Blind Spot Assist can
be restricted in thefo llowing situations:
RIf th e sensors are dirty or obscured.
RWhen there is poor visibility, e.g. due tofog,
heavy rain, snow or spr ay.
RIf nar rowvehicles are within the monitoring
ra nge, e.g. bicycles.
Wa rnings may be issued in er ror when driving
close tocrash barr iers or similar solid lane bor‐
ders. Warnings may be inter rupted when driving
alongside long vehicles, forex ample, truc ks,fo r

Maintenance and care

The system checks the tire pressure of the tires
ins talled on theve hicle bymeans of a tire pres‐
sure sensor.
New tire pressure sensor, e.g. in winter tires, are
automatically taught-in thefirs t time they are
driven.
The tire pressure appears in the multifunction
display (
→page 202).
If th ere is a subs tantial pressure loss or if the
tire temp erature is excessive, a warning will be
given:
RVi a display messages (→page 409).

suitable forth e operating situation. Set the tire
pressure for cold tires using a tire pressure
ga uge. Notethat the cor rect tire pressure forth e
cur rent operating situation must firs t be taught-
in to the tire pressure monitor.
In most cases, the tire pressure monitoring sys‐
te m will auto matically update the new refere nce va
