brightness increases again, the low beams are turned off again auto­
matically =>& .
In the
AUTO position the low beams are switched off automatically
when the ignition is turned off.
Light Sensor Malfunction
In the event of a light sensor ma lfunct ion, the driver is notified in the
instrument cluster display:
Automatic headlights/automatic wipers defective
For safety reasons the low beams are turned on permanently with t he
switch in
AUTO. However, you can continue to turn the lights on and
off using the light switch. Have the light sensor checked as soon as
possible at a dealership.
& WARNING
• Never use daytime running lights to see where you are going.
They are not bright enough and will not let you see far enough
ahead for safety, especially at dusk or when it is dark. Always
switch on the low beams at dusk or when it is dark.
• Automatic headlights are only intended to assist the driver .
They do not relieve the driver of his responsibility to check the
headlights and to turn them on manually according to the current
light and visibility conditions. For example, fog and rain cannot be
detected by the light sensors. So always switch on the headlights
under these weather conditions and when driving in the dark
io.
• Crashes can happen when you cannot see the road ahead and
when you cannot be seen by other motorists.
- Always turn on the headlights so that you can see ahead and
so that others can see your car from the back.
[ i ) Tips
• With the switch in AUTO front fog lights and rea r fog ligh ts cannot
be turned on in addition .

The detection~ page 138, fig. 131 of the radar sensor detection
area is made up of :
• the approach area (light green area)
(D, about 230 feet (70 m)
behind the vehicle, and
• the "blind spot" (dark green area)@.
The radar sensors cover the adjacent left and right lanes. Other lanes are
not cove red by the radar sensors.
rn Tip s
Side assist does not measure act ual lane width. The system assumes
a fixed lane w idth. Detection in the left and right lanes is based on
this assumed lane w idth. When driving on narrow roads or when
driving to the left or right of the center of a travel lane, it is possible
that vehicles will be detected that are
not in the lane next to the lane
you are using~
page 143. •
Applie s to ve hicl es: w ith s id e a ssist
Operation
Side assist compares the distance and difference in speed of detected
vehicles with the speed of your vehicle . Whenever the difference in
speed and distance is registered as notab le if you were to change
lanes, a signa l light appears on the respect ive m irror .
The signa l can light up if you are passed by a vehicle or if you are
passing another vehicle.
If you pass another vehicle slowly (d ifference in speed less than 9
mph, or 15 km/h) , the signa l light will come on as soon as the other
vehicle is in your blind spot and is detected by side ass ist . When the
difference in speed is greater, the signal light wi ll not come on. •
Controls and equip ­
ment Safety first
A
pp lies to ve hicles : w ith side assist
Informational and alert stage signals
S ide assis t has two signa l st ages:
• the informational stage signal, and
• t he ale rt stage signal.
S ide assist helps you by using the appropr iate s ignal stage,
depending on whether or not you have activated the turn signal, and
thus have indicated that you are or are not changing lanes .
Informat ional stage signal
As long as you have not activated the turn signal, side assist informs
you of detected vehicles that are registered as being in a notable loca­
tion if you were to change lanes . Wheneve r the detected vehicle 's
difference in speed and distance is registered by side assist as
notable, the signal l ight on the respective m irror produces muted
illumination .
Th e br ightness of the info rmationa l stage signal is designed no t to be
as intense, so that it does not interfere w ith your v iew of the road
when you are driving and have no in tention of chang ing lanes. When
you look in the outside mirror, you can clearly see the informat ional
stage signal.
Alert stage signal
Whe n you act ivate the tu rn s ignal, a nd side assist has de tected a
vehicle in a notable location on that particular side, the signal light on
this side mirro r flashes b rightly. The repeated brief and bright
flash ing of the alert stage signal reminds you to carefully check
traffic to the rear in the outside mirror and over your shoulder, so t hat
you can safely complete the lane change~
& in "Safety tips" on
page 144.

The brightness of the signa l light on the outside mirrors can be
adjusted with the MMI

Sensors in the bumper
Sensors are located in the rear bumpers . If these detect a n obsta cle,

t he time in te rval between the audib le tones becomes shorter .
When the dis tance is less tha n 1ft

What impairs driving safety?
Safe driving is directly related to the condition of the
vehicle, the driver as well as the driver's ability to concen­
trate on the road without being distracted .
The driver is responsible for the safety of the vehicle and all
of its occupants. If your ability to drive is impaired, safety
risks for everybody in the vehicle increase and you also
become a hazard to everyone else on the road::::,,& . There­
fore:
Do not let yourself be distracted by passengers or by using
a cellular telephone.
