Blind Spot Assist Important safety notes
G
WARNING
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,
strongs pray 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.
General notes
Blind Spot Assist uses aradar sensor system
to monitor the areas on both sides of your
vehicle. It supports you from speeds of
30 km/h. Awarning displayint he exterior
mirrors draws your attention to vehicles
detected in the monitored area. If you then
switch on the corresponding turn signal to
change lane, you will also receive an optical
and audible collision warning. For monitoring,
Active Blind Spot Assist uses sensors in the
rear bumper.
For Blind Spot Assist to assist you when driv-
ing, the radar sensor system must be activa-
ted (Y page 225) and operational.
The radar sensor system is automatically
deactivated near radio telescope facilities
(Y page 368). Driving systems
