No entry (wrong-way warning)
A warning message
:is displayed in the instru-
ment cluster if Traffic Sign Assist detects that
you are passing a “no entry” sign and you are
driving in the wrong direction. You will then also hear a warning tone. You should immediately
check your direction of travel in order to avoid
danger to yourself and other road users. Lane Tracking package
General notes The Lane Tracking package consists of Blind
Spot Assist (Y
page 209) and Lane Keeping
Assist (Y page 210).
Blind Spot Assist General notes
Blind Spot Assist monitors the areas on either
side of the vehicle that are not visible to the
driver with two lateral, rear-facing radar sen-
sors. A warning display in the exterior mirrors
draws your attention to vehicles detected in the
monitored area. If you then switch on the cor-
responding turn signal to change lanes, you will also receive a visual and audible warning.
Blind Spot Assist supports you from a speed of
approximately 30 km/h.
Important safety notes G
WARNING
Blind Spot Assist does not react to vehicles:
R overtaken too closely on the side, placing
them in the blind spot area
R when the difference in the speed of
approach and overtaking is too great As a result, Blind Spot Assist cannot warn
drivers in these situations. There is a risk of an
accident.
Always pay careful attention to the traffic sit- uation and maintain a safe distance at the side
of the vehicle.
Blind Spot Assist is only an aid. It may fail to
detect some vehicles and is not a substitute for attentive driving. Always ensure that there is
sufficient distance to the side for other road
users and obstacles.
Radar sensors The radar sensors for Blind Spot Assist are inte-
grated into the rear bumper. Make sure that the bumpers are free from dirt, ice or slush. The
sensors must not be covered, e.g. by cycle racks
or overhanging loads. Following a severe impact
or in the event of damage to the bumpers, have the function of the radar sensors checked at a
qualified specialist workshop. Blind Spot Assist
may no longer work properly in such cases.
Monitoring range of the sensors
In particular, the detection of obstacles can be
impaired in the following situations:
R dirt on the sensors or obscured sensors
R poor visibility, e.g. due to fog, heavy rain or
snow
R a narrow vehicle travelling in front, e.g. a
motorcycle or a bicycle
R very wide lanes
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.
Blind Spot Assist monitors an area up to 3.0 m
behind your vehicle and directly next to your
vehicle.
If the lanes are narrow, vehicles driving in the
lane beyond the lane next to your vehicle may be
indicated, especially if the vehicles are not driv-
ing in the middle of their lane. This may be the
case if the vehicles are driving on the inner side of their lane. Driving systems
209Driving and parking Z

Due to the nature of the system:
R warnings may be issued in error when driving
close to crash barriers or similar solid boun-
daries
R warnings may be interrupted when you are
driving alongside particularly long vehicles,
such as lorries, for a prolonged time
Warning display :
Warning display
Blind Spot Assist is not active at speeds below
approximately 30 km/h. Vehicles in the moni-
toring range are then not indicated.
If Blind Spot Assist is activated, indicator
lamp :in the exterior mirrors lights up yellow
up to a speed of 30 km/h. At speeds above
30 km/h, the indicator lamp goes out and Blind
Spot Assist is operational.
If a vehicle is detected within the monitoring
range of Blind Spot Assist at speeds above
30 km/h, warning lamp :on the correspond-
ing side lights up red. This warning always
occurs 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
12 km/h.
The yellow indicator lamp goes out if reverse
gear is engaged. Blind Spot Assist is then deac- tivated.
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 blind spot moni-
toring range and you switch on the correspond-
ing turn signal, a double warning tone sounds.
Red warning lamp :flashes. If the turn signal
remains on, detected vehicles are indicated by the flashing of red warning lamp
:. There are
no further warning tones.
Activating Blind Spot Assist X Make sure that Blind Spot Assist is activated
in the on-board computer (Y page 227).
