Risk of accident
If the incident ligh tfrom headl ampscannot
strike the senso rinthe rear-vie wmirror ,for
instance, when the rea rwindow roller sun-
blind is extended, the mirror' sautomatic anti-
dazzle function will not operate.
Incident light could then blind you. This may
distract you from the traffic conditions and,
as aresult, you may cause an accident. In this
case, adjust the rear-view mirror manually.
The rear-view mirror and the exterior mirror
on the driver' sside automatically go into anti-
dazzle mode if the ignition is switched on and
incident light from headlamps strikes the sen-
sor in the rear-view mirror.
The mirrors do not go into anti-daz zlem ode if
reverse gear is engaged or the interior lighting
is switched on. Parking position for th

Important safety guidelines Blin
dSpot Assist uses aradar sensor system
to monitor the areas on both sides of your
vehicle. Blin dSpot Assist provides assistance
at speeds higher than 30 km/h. Awarning
display in the exterior mirrors draws your
attention to vehicles in the monitored area. If
you then indicat eaturn toward sthat side
before changing lane, you will also receive
visual and audible collision warnings. For this
purpose, Blind Spot Assist uses sensor sinthe
rea rbumper. G
Risk of accident
Blind Spot Assis tiso nly an aid designe dto
assis tdriving. It may fail to detec tsome vehi-
cles and is no substitute for attentiv edriving.
Blind Spo tAssist can notd etect road and traf-
fic conditions. It may fail to detect narrow
vehicles, such as motor cycles or bicycles ,or
only detec tthem too late.
Monitoring ma ybeaffected by dirty sensors,
stro ngspra yorp oor visibility caused by snow,
rai norm ist, 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 injur eyoursel fand others.
The radar senso rsystem is automatically
deactivated near radio telescope facilities
(Y page 324).
For Blind Spot Assist to assist you when driv-
ing, the radar sensor syste mmust be activa-
ted (Y page 208 )and operational. Monitoring range of the sensors Blind Spot Assist monitors the area up to
three metres behind your vehicl
eand directly
next to your vehicl easshown in the diagram. Sid
eview, Coupé (example) G
Risk of accident
Blind Spot Assist monitors certain areas in the
immediate vicinit yofyour vehicle. Vehicles
that approach and driv epast at high speeds
are not detected. There is no display and no
warning.
If the lanes are very wide, it may not be pos-
sible to monitor the complete width of the
neighbouring lane. For this reason, vehicles in
the next lane may not be detected, especially
if they are driving in astaggered formation in
different lanes .This ma ybethe case if vehi-
cles ar edrivin gatt he edge of their lan ethat
is furthest away from your vehicle.
Always pay attention to traffic conditions and
your surroundings. Otherwise, you ma yfail to
recognise dangers in time, cause an accident
and injure yourself and others.
If the lanes are narrow, the system may be
unable to distinguish the neighbouring lane
from the one beyond it. For this reason, vehi-
cles in the farther lane may be indicated,
especially if the vehicles are driving in astag-
gered formation in different lanes .Inparticu- 184

vehicle. Due to the nature of the system,
warnings may be issued in err or when driving

borders.
The two sensors for Blind Spot Assis tare
integrate dinto the sides of the rear bumper.
Make sure that the bumpe risfree from dirt,
ice or slus haround th esensors. For example,
the rada rsensors must not be covered by
cycle racks or overhanging loads. Followin ga
severe impac torinthe even tofdamage to
the bumpers, have the function of the radar
sensors checked at aqualified specialist
workshop, e.g. aMercedes-Ben zService

If av ehicle is detected within the monitoring
range of Blin dSpot Assist at speeds above
30 km/h, warning lamp :on the corre-
sponding side lights up red. This warning is
always issued when avehicle enter sthe blind
spot monitoring range from behind or from
the side. When you overtak eavehicle, the
warning only occurs if the difference in speed
