t Assist with exit warning
Blind Spot Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist use
two lateral, rear-facing radar sensors to monitor the area up to 40 m behind and 3 m next to your
v
ehicle.
If a vehicle is detected at speeds above approx-
imately 12 km/h and this vehicle subsequently
enters the monitoring range directly next to your
vehicle, the warning lamp in the outside mirror
lights up red.

If a vehicle is detected close to your vehicle and
you switch on the turn signal indicator in the cor-
responding direction, a double warning tone
sounds and the red warning lamp in the outside
mirror Oashes. If the turn signal indicator remains
switched on, all other detected vehicles are indi-
cated only by the Oashing of the red warning

WARNING Risk of accident despit e Active
Blind Spot Assist
Active Blind Spot Assist does not react to the
f
ollowing:
= if you overtake a vehicle too closely so that
it is in the blind spot area
= if vehicles travelling at a much faster
speed approach and then overtake
Active Blind Spot Assist may not give warnings
or intervene in such situations. 
Always pay careful attention to the tr
aPc
situation and maintain a safe distance at
the side of the vehicle. Observe the notes on driving systems and your
r
esponsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise
dangers ( page 201).
Exit warning
The exit warning is an additional function of Blind
Spot Assist and can warn vehicle occupants about
approaching vehicles when leaving the vehicle
when stationary. &
WARNING Risk of accident despit
e exit
warning
The exit warning neither reacts to stationary
objects nor t
o persons or road users
approaching you at a greatly diMering speed.
The exit warning cannot warn drivers in these
situations. 
Always pay particular attention to the
tr
aPc situation when opening the doors
and make sure there is suPcient clear-
ance. If there is a vehicle in the monitoring range, this is
indicat

ed in the outside mirror. If a vehicle occu-
pant opens the door on the side with the warning,
a warning tone sounds and the warning lamp in
the outside mirror starts to Oash.
This additional function is only available when
Blind Spot Assist is active. When the exit warning
is activated, it can warn vehicle occupants for up
to three minutes aser switching the vehicle oM.
The exit warning is no longer available once the
warning lamp in the outside mirror Oashes three
times. The exit warning is only an aid and not a substi-
tut

e for the attention of vehicle occupants. The
responsibility for opening and closing the doors
and for leaving the vehicle remains with the vehi-
cle occupants.
System limits
Blind Spot Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist may
be limited in the following situations, in particular:
= if there is dirt on the sensors or the sensors
are obscured
= in poor visibility, e.g. due to fog, heavy rain or
snow
= if there are narrow vehicles, e.g. bicycles or
motorbikes
= if the road has very wide or narrow lanes
= if vehicles are not driving in the middle of their
lane
Warnings may be issued in error when driving
close to crash barriers or similar continuous lane
borders. Always make sure that there is suPcient
distance to the side for other traPc or obstacles. 230
Driving and parking

Warnings may be interrupted when driving along-
side long v
ehicles, for example lorries, for a pro-
longed time.
Blind Spot Assist is not operational when reverse
gear is engaged.
The exit warning may be limited in the following
situations:
= when the sensors are covered by adjacent
vehicles in narrow parking spaces
= when people approach the vehicle
= in the event of stationary or slowly moving
objects
Function of brake application (Active Blind Spot
Assist)
If Active Blind Spot Assist detects a risk of a side
impact in the monitoring range, a course-correct-
ing brake application is carried out. This is
designed to help you avoid a collision.
The course-correcting brake application is availa-
ble in the speed range between approximately
30 km/h and 200 km/h. &
WARNING Risk of accident despit e brake
application of Active Blind Spot Assist
A course-correcting brake application cannot
alw
ays prevent a collision. 
Always steer, brake or accelerate your-
self, especiall
y if Active Blind Spot Assist
warns you or makes a course-correcting
brake application. 
Always maintain a safe distance at the
sides. If a course-correcting brake application occurs,
t
he red warning lamp Oashes in the outside mirror
and a warning tone sounds. In addition, display 1 indicating t

he danger of a side collision
appears in the Instrument Display.
In rare cases, the system may make an inappro-
priate brake application. This brake application
may be interrupted at any time if you steer slightly
in the opposite direction or accelerate.
System limits
Note the system limitations of Active Blind Spot
Assist; you may otherwise not recognise the dan-
gers (  page 229).
Either a course-correcting brake application
appropriate to the driving situation, or none at all,
may occur in the following situations:
= Vehicles or obstacles, e.g. crash barriers, are
located on both sides of your vehicle.
= A vehicle approaches too closely on the side.
= You have adopted a sporty driving style with
high cornering speeds.
= You brake or accelerate signiNcantly.
= A driving safety system intervenes, e.g. ESP n
or Active Brake Assist.
= ESP n
is deactivated. Driving and parking

Function of Active Lane Keeping Assist
A

ctive Lane Keeping Assist monitors the area in
front of your vehicle by means of the multifunction
camera (  page 201). It serves to protect you
against unintentionally leaving your lane. You will
be warned by vibration pulses in the steering
wheel and guided by a course-correcting brake
application back into your lane.
Active Lane Keeping Assist is available in the
speed range between 60 km/h and 200 km/h. Active Lane Keeping Assist can neither reduce the
r
isk of an accident if you fail to adapt your driving
style nor override the laws of physics. It cannot
take into account road, weather or traPc condi-
tions. Active Lane Keeping Assist is only an aid.
You are responsible for maintaining a safe dis-
tance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed, for
braking in good time and for staying in lane.
The status of Active Lane Keeping Assist is dis-
played in the on-board computer:

If you deactivate the Active Lane Keeping Assist
warning and the lane markings cannot be clearly
detected, it is possible that no lane-correcting
brake application takes place (  page 234).
The system may be impaired or may not function
particularly in the following situations: = If there is poor visibility, e.g. due to insuPcient
illumination of the road, highly variable shade
conditions, rain, snow, fog or heavy spray.
= If there is glare, e.g. from oncoming traPc, the
sun or reOections.
= If there is dirt on the windscreen in the vicinity
of the multifunction camera or if the camera is
misted up, damaged or obscured.
= If there are no lane markings, or several
unclear lane markings are present for one
lane, e.g. around roadworks.
= If the lane markings are worn, dark or cov-
ered. =
If t he distance to the vehicle in front is too
short and thus the lane markings cannot be
detected.
= If the lane markings change quickly, e.g. lanes
branch oM, cross one another or merge.
= If the carriageway is very narrow and winding.
= Vehicles with Driving Assistance Package: if
the radar sensors in the rear bumper are dirty
or covered in snow and an obstacle is detec-
ted in your lane, no lane-correcting brake

Function of the 360° Camera
The 360° Camer

a is a system that consists of
four cameras. The cameras cover the immediate
vehicle surroundings. The system assists you
when you are parking or at exits with reduced visi-
bility, forexample.
The views of the 360° Camera are always availa-
ble when driving forwards up to a speed of
approx. 16 km/h and when reversing.
The 360° Camera is only an aid and may show a
distorted view of obstacles, show them incorrectly
or not show them at all. It is not a substitute for
your attention to the surroundings. The responsi-
bility for safe manoeuvring and parking remains
with you. Make sure that there are no persons,
animals or objects etc., in the manoeuvring area
while manoeuvring and parking. The system evaluates images from the following
camer

as:
