General notes The Lane Tracking package consists of Blind

Blind Spot Assist Important safety notes
Blind Spot Assist uses a radar sensor system
to monitor the areas on both sides of your
vehicle. Blind Spot Assist provides assistance
at speeds higher than 30 km/h. A warning
lamp in the exterior mirrors draws your atten-
tion to detected vehicles in the monitored
area. If you then switch on the corresponding
turn signal to change lane, you will also
receive an optical and acoustic collision warn-
ing. For this purpose, Blind Spot Assist uses
sensors in the rear bumper. G
Risk of accident
Blind Spot Assist is only an aid designed to
assist driving. It may fail to detect some vehi-
cles and is no substitute for attentive driving.
Blind Spot Assist cannot detect road and traf-
fic conditions. It may fail to detect narrow
vehicles, such as motorcycles or bicycles, or
only detect them too late.
Monitoring may be affected by dirty sensors,
strong spray or poor visibility caused by snow,
rain or mist, for example. In this case, vehicles
are detected late or not at all.
Always pay attention to traffic conditions and
your surroundings. Otherwise, you may fail to
recognise dangers in time, cause an accident
and injure yourself and others.
The radar sensor system is automatically
deactivated near radio telescope facilities
(Y page 327).
For Blind Spot Assist to assist you when driv-
ing, the radar sensor system must be
switched on (Y page 210) and operational. Driving systems
