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.

Practical equipment
Stowage areas Introduction to the topic
WARNING
Loose objects may be flung through the ve-
hicle interior in the e vent of a sudden driv-
ing or braking manoeuvre. This can cause
serious injury and can also lead to loss of
control of the vehicle.
x Stow objects only in closed stowage
compartments.
x Always keep stowage compartments
closed while the vehicle is in motion.
x The coat hooks in the vehicle should on-
ly be used for lightweight clothing
weighing max. 2.5 kg (approx. 5.5 lbs).
Never leave any heavy, hard or sharp ob-
jects in the pockets. WARNING
If the glove box is left open, this can in-
crease the risk of serious injury in the e
vent
of an accident or during sudden braking or
driving manoeuvres.
x Always keep the glove box closed while
the vehicle is in motion. WARNING
Any lighters in the vehicle could be dam-
aged or accidentally lit. This could lead to
serious burns and other injuries.
x Bef

ore closing stowage areas or com-
partments always make sure that there
is no lighter in the way.
x Never stow lighters in stowage areas or
compartments or on other surfaces in
the vehicle. High surface temperatures,
especially in summer, may cause lighters
to self-ignite. WARNING
Incorrect use of the drink holders can cause
injury.
x Ne

ver place hot drinks in a drink holder.
Hot drinks in a drink holder could be
spilled and cause scalding in any sudden
braking manoeuvre or accident.
x Make sure that only drinks of the appro-
priate size are placed in the drink holder.
Drinks must always be stored securely in
the drink holder. WARNING
Closed drink bottles can explode in the ve-
hicle in e
xtreme heat or burst in extremely
cold temperatures.
x Never leave closed drink bottles in an
extremely hot or extremely cold vehicle
for extended periods. NOTICE
x Do not stow any temperature-sensitiv
e
objects, food or medicines inside the vehi-
cle. Hot and cold temperatures could dam-
age them or render them unusable.
x Objects stored in the vehicle that are
made from transparent materials, such as
transparent suction cups on the windows,
can concentrate the sun

munication standard.
Legally required services can influence the
status display for data transmission inde-
pendently of activated offline mode.
Even if offline mode is activated, on-
line mode can be activated briefly by
safety-relevant and legally required services.
No We Connect Start services are activated
and no data of these services is transmitted
during this time. Offline mode will be reacti-
vated and the eSIM deactivated again after
successful transfer of the safety-relevant or
legally required data. Signal strength display of the eSIM
The signal strength display shows in online
mode whether the eSIM of the factory-instal-
led OCU can transmit and receiv

e data at the
current vehicle location and how good the
signal strength is.
The more bars that are highlighted in colour,
the stronger the signal and the larger the
amount of data that can be transferred. Ex-
ample: one or two highlighted bars indicate
a low signal strength. There may be restric-
tions in this case for the high data transfer
rates for streaming services.
The signal strength display functions inde-
pendently of the mobile communication
standard display.
There is no signal strength display in offline
mode and in the event of faults in the eSIM.
The signal strength display of the eSIM
does not show the signal strength of
a mobile device paired with the Infotainment
system.
The signal strength display of the eSIM does
not show whether a Wi-Fi device connected
to the Infotainment system is connected to
the Internet. Effects on online vehicle func-

er is restricted, the following

Cable and wireless con-
nections
Introduction to the topic
Some e xternal devices can be connected to
the Infotainment system by cable and wire-
less connections present in the vehicle (if in-
stalled).
The type and number of cable and wireless
connections differ according to country and
vehicle. The connections may also be differ-
ent within a model series or in special-edition
models.
In the case of cable connections, use only the
original device connecting cables or, if availa-
ble, the factory-supplied connecting cables
for your vehicle.
If the plug on the connecting cable cannot be
inserted, check the angle of insertion and the
connections. NOTICE
Use only suitable and undamaged connecting
cables f
or cable connections.
x When inserting the plugs of the connect-
ing cables into the appropriate connection,
ensure that they are correctly positioned
and apply only light pressure. Applying too
much pressure may damage both the unit
connection and the plug of the connecting
cable.
x Make sure that the connecting cable is not
pinched or sharply bent.
x Using unsuitable or damaged connecting
cables may damage devices and cause
malfunctions. If a connected device is not recog-
nised, disconnect all de

vices and con-
nect the device again. If necessary, check
that the connecting cable you are using is
working properly. If a connected device malfunctions, re-
start the de

vice. In some cases this will
remedy the fault. USB port
