General information
Side assist monitors the blind spot and traffic be-
hind your vehicle. Within the limits of the sys-
tem, side assist can detect traffic that is ap-
proaching from behind and provide a warning
when you are changing lanes. The system uses
the data from the radar sensors at the rear cor-
ners of the vehicle.
The side assist is active at walking speeds and
higher. If an object that is classified as critical is
approaching, the display in the exterior mirror @)
on the corresponding side of the vehicle will light
up.
Driving situations
The system can provide warnings about the fol-
lowing risks:
@ Vehicles that are approaching: a vehicle may
be classified as critical in some cases, even if
it is farther away. The faster a vehicle ap-
proaches, the sooner the display in the out-
side mirror will turn on.
@® Vehicles traveling in the same direction: the
indicator will turn on in the outside mirror
when vehicles traveling in the same direction
are classified as critical. The side assist warns
you of all detected vehicles when they are in
the blind spot or before they reach that
point.
@ Vehicles you are passing: if you slowly pass a
vehicle that side assist has detected (the dif-
ference in speed between the vehicle and
your vehicle is less than 9 mph (15 km/h )),
the display in the exterior mirror will turn on
when the vehicle enters your blind spot. The
display will not turn on if you quickly pass a
vehicle that side assist has detected (the dif-
ference in speed is greater than approximate-
ly 9 mph (15 km/h)).
Information stage
At the information level, the side assist informs
you of detected objects that are classified as criti-
cal.
The display remains dim in the information stage
so that you are not distracted while looking for-
ward.

Driver assistance
Warning stage
If the display in a mirror blinks brightly when you
activate a turn signal, side assist is warning you
about detected objects classified as critical.
Depending on the vehicle equipment and other
driver assistance systems, the display on the re-
spective mirror may also flash if you have not
turned on the turn signal: If you are approaching
a detected lane marker line and it appears you
will be leaving the lane, the display on the mirror
will warn you about detected vehicles that it has
classified as critical. You can also be warned with
corrective steering > page 119, Lane departure
warning.
Detection range
The radar sensors are designed to detect the left
and right adjacent lanes when the road lanes are
the normal width. In some situations, the display
in the exterior mirror may turn on even though
there is no vehicle located in the area that is criti-
cal for a lane change. For example:
— If the lanes are narrow or if you are driving on
the edge of your lane. If this is the case, the
system may have detected a vehicle in another
lane that is not adjacent to your current lane.
— If you are driving through a curve. Side assist
may react to a vehicle that is in the same lane
or one lane over from the adjacent lane.
—If side assist reacts to other objects (such as
roadside structures like guard rails).
ZA\ WARNING
— Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 104.
— The display may not appear on time when
vehicles are approaching or being passed
very quickly.
@ Tips
— The system is not available when towing a
trailer. There is no guarantee the system
will switch off when using a retrofitted trail-
er hitch. Do not use these functions when
towing a trailer.
— For an explanation on conformity with the
FCC regulations in the United States and the
Industry Canada regulations, see
=> page 261.

the surrounding area cannot be detected.
Objects, animals, and people may only be
detected with limitations may not be detect-
ed at all. Always monitor the traffic and the
vehicle's surroundings directly and do not
become distracted.
@) Note
— The orange orientation lines @ show the di-
rection the rear of the vehicle will be travel-
ing, based on the steering wheel angle. The
front of the vehicle swings out more than
the rear of the vehicle. Maintain plenty of
distance so that an exterior mirror or a cor-
ner of the vehicle does not collide with any
obstacles.
— Keep enough distance from the curb to
avoid damage to the rims.
— Only use the images provided by the camera
on the rear of the vehicle when the luggage
compartment lid is completely closed. Make
sure any objects you may have mounted on
the luggage compartment lid do not block
the rearview camera.
@) Tips
There is no distance warning for the rear and
the sides* when trailer towing mode is detect-
ed. The front sensors remain activated. The
visual display switches to trailer mode. The
rearview camera image will not show the ori-
entation lines and the blue surfaces. There is
no guarantee the functions will switch off

Care and cleaning
—To reduce the risk of cuts, protect yourself
from sharp metal components when wash-
ing the underbody or the inside of the wheel
housings.
— After washing the vehicle, the braking effect
may be delayed due to moisture on the
brake rotors or ice in the winter. This in-
creases the risk of an accident. The brakes
must be dried first with a few careful brake
applications.
@) Note
— If you wash the vehicle in an automatic car
wash, you must fold the exterior mirrors in
to reduce the risk of damage to the mirrors.
Power folding exterior mirrors* must only
be folded in and out using the power folding
function.
—To reduce the risk of damage to the rims
and tires, compare the width between the
wheels on your vehicle with the distance be-
tween the guide rails in the car wash.
—To reduce the risk of damage, compare the
height and width of your vehicle with the
height and width of the inside of the car
wash.
—To reduce the risk of paint damage, do not
wash the vehicle in direct sunlight.
—To reduce the risk of damage, do not wash
decorative decals* with a pressure washer.
—To reduce the risk of damage to the surface,
do not use insect removing sponges, kitchen
sponges or similar items.
— Matte finish painted vehicle components:
—To reduce the risk of damage to the sur-
face, do not use polishing agents or hard
wax.
— Never use protective wax. It can destroy
the matte finish effect.
— Do not place any stickers or magnetic
signs on vehicle parts painted with matte
finish paint. The paint could be damaged
when the stickers or magnets are re-
moved.
@) For the sake of the environment
Only wash the vehicle in facilities specially de-
signed for that purpose. This will reduce the
risk of dirty water contaminated with oil from
entering the sewer system.
