Lane Tracking package
General notes
The Lane Tracking package consists of Blind
Spot Assist (Ypage 159) and Lane Keeping
Assist (Ypage 161).
Blind Spot Assist
General notes
Blind Spot Assist monitors the areas on either
side of the vehicle that are not visible to the
driver with two lateral, rear-facing radar sen-
sors. Awarning display in the exterior mirrors
draws your attention to vehicles detected in the
monitored area. If you then switch on the cor-
respondingt urn signal to change lane, you will
also receive an optical and audible warning.
Blind Spot Assist supports you from aspeed of
approximately 20 mph (30 km/h).
For Blind Spot Assist to assist you, the radar
sensor system must be operational.
Important safety notes

Blind Spot Assist does not react to:
Rvehicles overtaken too closely on the side,
placing them in the blind spot area
Rvehicles which approach with alarge speed
differential and overtake your vehicle
As aresult, Blind Spot Assist may not give
warnings in such situations .There is arisk of
an accident.
Always observe the traffic conditions care-
fully, and maintain asafe lateral distance.
Blind Spot Assist is only an aid. It may fail to
detect some vehicles and is no substitut efor attentive driving. Always ensure that there is
