Location of the sensors
The side assist is active above a speed of
about 15 km/h.
0
Vehicles approaching from behind
In certain cases, a vehicle
is
judged to be critical
in the event of
a
lane change even if it is still
some distance away. The faster a vehicle ap
proaches, the earlier the warning will appear on
the exterior mirror.
(2) Vehicles moving at a similar speed
The warning lamp in the relevant exterior mirror
will warn you of vehicles that are moving with the
flow of traffic at about the same speed as you if
they are judged to be critical in the event of
a
lane change. In all cases, the side assist will give
a warning for the vehicles it has detected at the
latest when they enter the "blind spot".
(§)
Other vehicles being overtaken
When you are overtaking another vehicle slowly,
with a speed differential of Less than about
15 km/h, the warning lamp in the exterior mirror
will light up as soon as the other vehicle enters
your blind spot.
If
you
are overtaking another vehicle quickly,
with a speed differential of more than about
15 km/h, the warning lamp will not light up.
System limitations
The radar sensors are designed for normal lane
widths and monitor the lanes immediately to the
left and right of your vehicle. In certain situations
the warning lamp on one of the exterior mirrors
may light up even if no vehicle is travelling in an
area that could be critical in the event of
a
lane
change. For example:
- When you are travelling in a narrow Lane or
when you are not travelling in the centre of the
lane.
In this case the system may monitor an
other lane and register a vehicle that is nor in
fact travelling in an adjacent lane.
- When you are driving into a bend. The side as
sist may react to a vehicle two lanes away.
- If the system detects other objects (such as
crash barriers, etc).
- In poor weather conditions. The functionality of
the side assist is then restricted.
The radar sensors
^>Fig.
120 must not be ob
structed by stickers, bicycle racks, deposits or any
other substances which could impair the function
of the system. The side assist must not be used
when towing a trailer. For notes on cleaning,
please refer to
^>page
312.
WARNING
- Always watch the road and the area sur
rounding the vehicle. The side assist feature
is not
a
substitute for the full concentration
of the driver. The driver is always responsi
ble for the safety of Lane changes and other
manoeuvres.

- In certain situations, the system may not
function properly, or the functionality of the
system may be restricted. For example:
- If other vehicles are approaching very
quickly, or if
you
are overtaking other
vehicles quickly. The warning lamp may
not light up
intime.
- In poor weather conditions, such as heavy
rain,
snow or road spray.
- If
you
are travelling in very wide lanes, in
tight bends or over crests. The system
may not detect vehicles in the adjacent
lane because they are outside the area
covered by the sensors.
© CAUTION
Impacts or damage to the bumper, wheel
arches or underbody can cause misalignment
of the sensors. This can impair the functional
ity of the system. Have the systems checked
by
a
qualified workshop.
The warning lamps on the exterior mirrors
may not be properly visible if tinted foil is af
fixed to the side windows on the driver's or
passenger's side.
