Monitoring range of the sensors
In particular, the detection of obstacles can
be impaired in the case of:
R dirt on the sensors or obscured sensors
R poor visibility, e.g. due to fog, heavy rain,
snow or spray
R narrow vehicles, e.g. motorcycle sorbicy-
cles
R very widel anes
R narrow lanes
R vehicles not driving in the middle of their
lane
R barriers or other road boundaries
Vehicles in the monitoring range are then not
indicated. Example
:Saloon
Blind Spot Assist monitors the area up to
3.0 mbehind your vehicle and directly nextto
your vehicle, as shown in the diagram.
If the lanes are narrow, vehicles driving in the
lane beyond the lane nexttoy our vehicle may
be indicated, especially if the vehicles are not
driving in the middle of their lane. This may be the case if ther eare vehicles at the edge of
their lane nearest your vehicle. Due to the nature of the system:
R warnings may be issued in error when driv-
ing close to crash barriers or similar solid
lane borders
R warnings may be interrupted when driving
alongside long vehicles, for example lor-
ries, for aprolonged time
The two radar sensor sfor Blind Spot Assist
are integrated intot he sides of the rear
bumper. Make sure that the bumper is free of dirt, ice or slush in the vicinity of the sensors.
The sensor smust not be covered, for exam-
ple by cycle rack soroverhanging loads. Fol-
lowing asevere impact or in the event of dam-
age to the bumpers, have the function of the
sensor schecked at aqualified specialist
workshop. Blind Spot Assist may otherwise
not work properly.
