Driving and operating169Caution
Performance of the system can bereduced when sensors are
covered, e.g. by ice or snow.
Performance of the parking assist
system can be reduced due to
heavy loading.
Special conditions apply if there
are taller vehicles in the vicinity
(e.g. off-road vehicles, mini vans,
vans). Object identification and correct distance indication in the
upper part of these vehicles
cannot be guaranteed.
Objects with a very small reflection
cross-section, e.g. objects of
narrow size or soft materials, may
not be detected by the system.
Parking assist systems do not
detect objects outside the
detection range.
Note
It is possible that the sensor detects a non-existing object caused by
echo disturbance from external
acoustic noise or mechanical
misalignments (sporadic false
warnings may occur).
Make sure that the front number
plate is properly mounted (not bent
and no gaps to the bumper on the left
or right side) and the sensors are
firmly in place.
Advanced parking assist system
may not respond to changes in the
available parking space after
initiating a parking manoeuvre. The
system may recognize an entry, a
gateway, a courtyard or even a crossing as a parking slot. After
selecting reverse gear the system
will start a parking manoeuvre. Take care regarding the availability of the
suggested parking slot.
Surface irregularities, e.g. on construction zones, are not detected
by the system. The driver accepts
responsibility.
Side blind spot alert The side blind spot alert system
detects and reports objects on either
side of the vehicle, within a specified
blind spot zone. The system displaysa visual alert in each exterior mirror,
when detecting objects that may not
be visible in the interior and exterior
mirrors.
Side blind spot alert uses some of the
advanced parking assist sensors
which are located in the front and rear bumper on both sides of the vehicle.9 Warning
Side blind spot alert 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 light.
Activation
7'' Colour Info Display: select Blind
spot monitoring on the Info Display
and activate the function.
Page 172 of 263

170Driving and operating8'' Colour Info Display: press Í.
Select Driving functions on the Info
Display and then Blind spot
monitoring . Activate the function.
B illuminates continously green in the
instrument cluster to confirm the
function.
Functionality
When the system detects a vehicle in the side blind zone while driving
forwards, an LED will illuminate in the
relevant exterior mirror.
The LED comes on immediately when being passed.
The LED comes on after a delay when
passing another vehicle slowly.
Operation conditions
The following conditions must be
fulfilled for proper operation:
● all vehicles are moving in the same direction and in adjacent
lanes
● the speed of your vehicle is between 12 and 140 km/h
● passing a vehicle with a speed difference of less than 10 km/h
● another vehicle is passing with a speed difference of less than
25 km/h
● the traffic flow is normal
● driving on a straight or slightly curved road
● the vehicle is not pulling a trailer
No alert will be given in the following
situations:
● in the presence of non-moving objects, e.g. parked vehicles,
barriers, street lamps, road signs
● with vehicles moving in the opposite direction● driving on a winding road or a sharp corner
● when passing or being passed by
a very long vehicle, e.g. lorry,
coach, which is at the same time
detected at the rear in the blind spot angle and present in the
driver's forward field of vision
● in very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in front and behind are
confused with a lorry or a
stationary object
● when passing too quickly
Deactivation The system is deactivated in the
vehicle personalisation 3 102. B
extinguishes in the instrument cluster.
Additionally, an acoustic signal
sounds
The state of the system is stored
when switching off the ignition.
The system is automatically
deactivated when towing an
electrically connected trailer.
Due to adverse weather conditions
such as heavy rain, false detections
may occur.

172Driving and operatingThe area behind the vehicle is
displayed in the screen. The vertical
lines represent the width of the
vehicle with mirrors unfolded. The
direction of the lines changes with the position of the steering wheel.
The first horizontal line represents a
distance of about 30 cm beyond the
edge of vehicle's rear bumper. The
upper horizontal lines represent
distances of about 1 and 2 m beyond
the edge of your vehicle's rear
bumper.
This view is available in auto mode or in the view selection menu.
Auto mode
This mode is activated by default.
Using sensors in the rear bumper, the
automatic view changes from a rear
view to a view from above, as an
obstacle is approached during a
manoeuvre.Zoom view
The camera records the vehicle's
surroundings during the manoeuvre in order to reconstruct a view fromabove the rear of the vehicle in its
near surroundings, allowing the
vehicle to be manoeuvred around
obstacles nearby. This view is
available with auto mode or in the
view selection menu.
180° view
The 180° view facilitates reversing
out of a parking bay, making it
possible to see the approach of
vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists.
This view is not recommended for
carrying out a complete manoeuvre.
It is made up of three areas: left 1,
centre 2 and right 3. This view is
available from the view selection menu only.

174Driving and operatingparking assist sensors, e.g. below
the bumper or underneath the
vehicle, are not displayed.
Do not reverse or park the vehicle
using only the rear view camera.
Always check the surrounding of
the vehicle before driving.
Switching on
Rear view camera is automatically
activated when reverse gear is
engaged.
Functionality
The camera is mounted above the
licence plate.
The area displayed by the camera is
limited. The distance of the image that
appears on the display differs from
the actual distance.
Guide lines
The vertical lines represent the
general direction of the vehicle and
the distance between the vertical
lines corresponds to the width of your vehicle without mirrors. The first
horizontal line represents a distance
of about 30 cm beyond the edge of
vehicle's rear bumper. The upper
horizontal lines represent distances
of about 1 and 2 m beyond the edge
of your vehicle's rear bumper. The
crossing curves represent the
maximum turning circle.

Switching off
The camera is switched off when a
certain forward speed is exceeded or
if reverse gear is disengaged for
approx. 10 seconds.
System limitationsThe rear view camera may not
operate properly when:
● The surrounding is dark.
● The beam of headlights is shining
directly into the camera lenses.
● During nighttime driving.
● Weather limits visibility, such as fog, rain, or snow.
