Lane change assist system Side AssistUsage
Side Assist monitors the area both beside and behindthe vehicle.
The system uses optical signals in the exterior mirror
to alert the driver to vehicles that could be danger-
ous when changing lanes.
Functionality
The system warns of an approaching vehicle through
the illumination of the indicator light in the exteri-
or mirror cover on the vehicle side where the vehicle
is detected.
Driving situations in which a system warning oc-
curs
Your vehicle is overtaken by vehicle

. The faster
vehicle
A
approaches, the sooner the warning is giv-
en by the indicator light.
Vehicle
B
is overtaken by your vehicle at a speed
that is faster by max. 10 km/h. If the speed is higher
during the overtaking process, no warning will be
provided by the indicator light.
Indicator light
illuminated - There is another vehicle behind your
vehicle
flashing - There is another vehicle behind your ve-
hicle, and the turn signal on the same side is switch-
ed on
For vehicles with Lane Assist, the indicator light will
also flash if your vehicle crosses the lane markings in
the direction of the approaching vehicle. The system
will trigger a steering wheel vibration in this case.
For this, Lane Assist must be activated and the lane
marking between the vehicles must be detected.
Operating conditions
q The driving speed is higher than 15 km/h.
q No accessories are connected to the trailer sock-
et.
Function restriction
The system cannot detect lane width. For this rea-
son, it may, for example, draw attention to a vehicle
in a distant lane in the following cases.

Functionality
The system looks for a parking space and only takes
over the steering during the parking procedure or
when leaving a parking place. The driver operates the
pedals and the shift lever/gear selector.
The system displays information and notes on the in-
strument cluster display.
If the system detects a risk of collision, automatic
emergency braking takes place to prevent a collision.
Operating conditions
q The driving speed is lower than 7 km/h.
q The ASR is activated and there is no intervention.
q There is no driver intervention in the automatic
steering operation.
q No accessories are connected to the trailer sock-
et.

Maximum permissible towed weight
The specified value is valid for altitudes up to 1,000
m above sea level.
The engine output falls as the height increases, as
does the ability to climb.
Therefore, for every additional 1,000 m in height (or
part), the maximum permissible towed weight must
be reduced by 10 %.
The towed weight is made up of the actual weights
of the loaded towing vehicle and the loaded trailer.
