case if the vehicles are driving on the inner side
of their lane.

trucks, for a prolonged time.
Warning display 0043
Warning display
Blind Spot Assist is not active at speeds below
approximately 20 mph (30 km/h). Vehicles in
the monitoring range are then not indicated.
When Blind Spot Assist is activated, indicator
lamp 0043in the exterior mirrors lights up yellow
at speeds of up to 20 mph (30 km/h). At speeds
above 20 mph (30 km/h), the indicator lamp
goes out and Blind Spot Assist is operational.
If a vehicle is detected within the blind spot
monitoring range at speeds above 20 mph
(30 km/h), warning lamp 0043on the correspond-
ing side lights up red. This warning is always
emitted when a vehicle enters the blind spot
monitoring range from behind or from the side.
When you overtake a vehicle, the warning only
occurs if the difference in speed is less than
7 mph (12 km/h).
The yellow indicator lamp goes out if reverse
gear is engaged. In this event, Blind Spot Assist is no longer active.
The brightness of the indicator/warning lamps
is adjusted automatically according to the ambi-
ent light. Collision warning If a vehicle is detected in the monitoring range of
Blind Spot Assist and you switch on the corre-
sponding turn signal, a double warning tone
sounds. Red warning lamp 0043flashes. If the turn
signal remains on, vehicles detected are indica-
ted by the flashing of red warning lamp 0043.
There are no further warning tones.

The condition of charge of the high-voltage bat- tery has dropped into the reserve range if the
drive system is running and:
R the Drive Battery Reserve Level
Drive Battery Reserve Level mes-
sage appears in the display
R the indicator lamp in the instrument cluster
lights up
Charge the high-voltage battery from a condi-
tion of charge of less than 20% at:
R an electrical outlet
R a charging station
The braking performance of the electric motor
using recuperative braking is, in some operating
modes, either reduced or not effective:
R when the condition of charge of the high-volt-
age battery increases
R if the high-voltage battery is not yet at a nor-
mal operating temperature
R when the vehicle is almost stationary
R in transmission position N
R during and after ESP stability control
If you do not make an additional effort to apply
the brake yourself, the braking effect may not be
sufficient. If necessary, counteract the reduced regenerative braking effect by applying the
brake yourself. Operating the on-board computer
