x
Curv ed mirrors (convex or aspheric) en-
large the field of vision and can make
objects in the mirror seem smaller and
further away than they actually are.
x Using curved mirrors to estimate the
distance from other vehicles behind you
when changing lanes can provide inac-
curate results and can lead to accidents
and severe injuries.
x Whenever possible, use the interior mir-
ror to check the exact distance between
your vehicle and following traffic or oth-
er objects.
x Ensure that you have a good view to the
rear of the vehicle. NOTICE
If the glass of an automatic anti-dazzle mirror
is broken, electrolyte fluid can leak from the mirror. This fluid attacks plastic surfaces. Re-
mo ve the fluid as soon as possible, e.g. using
a wet sponge. Interior mirror

The exterior mirror functions for left-hand
drive vehicles are described below. Position corresponds to the exterior mirror on the
driv

er side and position to the exterior mir-
ror on the front passenger side. These in-
structions are mirrored f
or right-hand drive
vehicles.

If the rotary knob for the electrically adjusta-
ble e
xterior mirrors is in the position , the
e
xterior mirrors remain folded in.
Storing and activating front passenger exte-
rior mirror settings for reversing

wise cause accidents or injuries. The sys-
tem is not a substitute f
or the full concen-
tration of the driver.
x Adapt your speed and distance from the
vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather,
road and traffic conditions.
x Your hands should always be on the
steering wheel so that you can steer at
any time.
x Observe the displays in the exterior mir-
ror housings and on the instrument clus-
ter display and act in accordance with
the requests.
x Always pay attention to what is happen-
ing around the vehicle.
x Never use the lane change system if the
radar sensors are dirty, covered or dam-
aged. These circumstances can impair
the proper functioning of the system.
x It may be hard to see the display in the
wing mirror in direct sunlight. The radar sensors calibrate themselves
once in the first f
ew kilometres after
vehicle delivery and if the sensors are re-
paired. The sensor range may be limited dur-
ing the calibration phase. Driving with the lane change
system
Please refer to at the start of the chap-
ter on page 172. Fig. 113
In the e
xterior mirror housing: visual
displays of the lane change system.
Switching on and off
You can switch the lane change system on
and off in the Assist systems menu of the In-
fotainment system. When the lane change
system is switched on, the yellow indicator
lamp in the exterior mirror housing lights
up once briefly.
This most recent system setting is retained
e

ven after the ignition has been switched off
and on.
Function
When switched on, the lane change system is
active from a speed of around 15 km/h
(9 mph). The lane change system is deactiva-
ted at a vehicle speed below 10 km/h
(6 mph).
In the following driving situations, the yellow
indicator lamp lights up in the housing of
the respectiv

e exterior mirror:

The yellow indicator lamp flashes if a pos-
sible critical situation is detected when you
indicate in the direction of the detected v
ehi-
cle.
The faster another vehicle approaches, the
earlier there is a corresponding display in the
exterior mirror.
Lane change system “Side Assist Plus”
If the vehicle is equipped with a lane keeping
system (Lane Assist) and the system is
switched on, the driver is warned by a correc-
tive steering intervention when changing
lanes during a possible critical situation (in-
formation level, warning level). The steering
intervention also occurs when the turn signal
is activated for the corresponding direction. If
the steering intervention is overridden by the
driver, the steering wheel vibrates to give an
additional warning. For this, steering wheel
vibration must be activated in the Assist sys-
tems menu in the Infotainment system.
Automatic deactivation
The lane change system will switch off auto-
matically if the radar sensors are permanent-
ly covered. This can be caused by a layer of
ice or snow in front of the radar sensor, for
example.
A text message will be shown on the instru-
ment cluster display.
If you use the factory-fitted trailer towing
coupling and have set up the necessary elec-
trical connection, the lane change system
switches off automatically. After you have
disconnected the electrical connection, the
lane change system is switched back on au-
tomatically.
If the trailer towing coupling is not factory-
fitted, you must manually switch off the lane
change system and then switch it back on
again.
Brightness
The brightness of the visual display will
change automatically depending on the am-
bient light levels. You can adjust the basic brightness of the
display in the Assist systems menu in the In-
f
otainment system. The lane change system
is not active during the setting procedure. Troubleshooting
Please refer to at the start of the chap-
ter on page 172. Lane change system fault.
The indicator lamp lights up yellow. The yel-
low central warning lamp also lights up.
