manually switched off.

182Driving and operatingNote
Each new vehicle requires a
calibration. For optimal parking
guidance, a driving distance of at
least 10 km, including a number of
bends, is required.
Side blind zone assistant The side blind zone assistant detects
and reports objects on either side of
the vehicle, within a specified "blind
zone". The system displays a visual
alert in each exterior mirror, when
detecting objects that may not be
visible in the interior and exterior
mirrors.
The radar distance sensors are
located in the rear bumper.9 Warning
Side blind zone assistant does not
replace driver vision.
The system does not detect:
● vehicles outside the side blind zones which may be rapidly
approaching
● pedestrians, cyclists or animals
Before changing a lane, always
check all mirrors, look over the
shoulder and use the turn lights.
When the system detects a vehicle in
the side blind zone while driving
forwards, either while passing a
vehicle or being passed, a yellow
warning symbol F will illuminate in
the relevant exterior mirror. If the
driver then activates the turn light, the warning symbol F starts flashing
yellow as a warning not to change
lanes.
When the vehicle is started, both
exterior mirror displays will briefly illuminate to indicate that the system
is operating.
The system can be activated or
deactivated in the Info Display.
Vehicle personalisation 3 91.
Side blind zone assistant will be
deactivated when Lane change alert
is deactivated. Deactivation is
indicated by a message in the Driver Information Centre.
Detection zones
The detection zones start at the rear bumper and extend approx. 3 m
rearwards and to the sides. The
height of the zone is approx. between 0.5 m and 2 m off the ground.
Side blind zone assistant is designed
to ignore stationary objects, e.g.
guardrails, posts, curbs, walls and
beams. Parked vehicles or oncoming
vehicles are not detected.
