sufficient distance to the side for other road
users and obstacles.
In particular, the detection of obstacles can be
impaired in the case of:
Rdirt on the sensors or anything else covering
the sensors
Rfog, heavy rain or snow
Rnarrow vehicles, e.g. motorcycles or bicycles
Rvery wide lanes
Rnarrow lanes
Rvehicles not driving in the middle of their lane
Rbarriers or other road boundaries
Vehicles in the monitoring range are then not

iUSA only:
This device has been approved by the FCC as
a" Vehicular Rada rSystem". The radar sensor
is intended for use in an automotive radar
system only. Removal, tampering, or altering
of the device will void any warranties, and is
not permitted by the FCC. Do not tamper with,
alter, or use in any non-approved way.
Any unauthorized modification to this device
could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
Monitoring range of the sensors
Blind Spot Assist monitors the area shown in the
diagramupt o118 in (3 m) behind 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.
Due to the nature of the system:
Rwarnings may be issued in error when driving
close to crash barriers or similars olid lane
borders.
Rwarnings may be interrupted when driving
alongside long vehicles, for example trucks,
for aprolonged time
The two sensors for Blind Spot Assist are inte-
grated into the sides of the rear bumper. Make
sure that the bumper is free of dirt, ice or slush
in the vicinity of the sensors. The radar sensors
must not be covered, for example by rear-moun-
ted cycle racks or overhanging loads. Following
as evere impact or in the event of damage to the
bumper, have the function of the radar sensors
checked at aqualified specialist workshop.
Blind Spot Assist may otherwise not work prop-
erly.
Warning display
Blind Spot Assist is not active at speeds below
approximately 20 mph (30 km/h). Vehicles in
the monitoring range are then not indicated.
If av ehicle is detected within the monitoring
range of Blind Spot Assist at speeds above
approximately 20 mph (30 km/h), warning
lamp :lights up red in the exterior mirror on
the corresponding side. Warning lamp :
always lights up when avehicle enters the blind
spot monitoring range from behind or from the
side. When you overtake avehicle, the warning
only occurs if the difference in speed is less than
7m ph (11 km/h).
If you select reverse gear, Blind Spot Assist is
inactive.

Driving and parking

If you fail to adapt yourdriving style, Lane Keep-
ing Assist can neither reduce the risk of accident
nor override the law sofphysics. Lane Keeping
Assist cannot take into account road, weather or
traffic conditions. Lane Keeping Assist is only an aid .You are responsible for the distance to the
vehicle in front, for vehicle speed,b raking in
good time and for staying in you rlane.
Lane Keeping Assist does not keep you rvehicle
in its lane.
The system may be impaired or may not function
if:
Rthere is poor visibility, e.g. due to insufficient
illuminatio nofthe road, or due to snow, rain,
fog or spray
Rthere is glare ,e.g. from oncoming traffic, the
sun or reflection from other vehicles( e.g. if
the road surface is wet)
Rthe windshield is dirty, fogged up, damaged or
covered, for instance by asticker, in the vicin-
ity of the camera
Rno, or several ,unclea rlane markings are pres-
ent for one lane, e.g. in aconstruction area
Rthe lane markings are worn away, dark or cov-
ered up, e.g. by dirt or snow
Rthe distance to the vehicle in front is too small
and the lane markings thus cannot be detec-
ted
Rthe lane markings change quickly, e.g. lanes
branch off, cross one another or merge
Rthe road is narrow and winding
Rthere are highlyv ariable shade conditions on
the road

Driving and parking

The rear view camera may show obstacles in
perspectival distortion, incorrectly or not at all.
The rear view camera cannot display all objects
located very near and/or under the rear
bumper. It does not warn you ofacollision, per-
sons or objects.
Under the following circumstances, the rear
view camera will not function, or will function in
al imited manner:
Rif the tailgate or rear door is open
Rif it is raining very heavily or snowing, or it is
foggy.
Rat night or in very dark places
Rif the camera is exposed to very bright light.
White lines may appear in the camera image.
Rif the area is lit by fluorescent light or LED
lighting. The camera image may flicker.
Rif the camera lens fogs up, e.g. when driving
into aheated garage in winter, causing arapid
change in temperature.
Rif the camera lens is dirty or obstructed.
Observe the notes on cleaning (Ypage 257).
Rif the rear of the vehicle is damaged. In this
case, have the camera position and setting
checked at aqualified specialist workshop.
Do not use the rear view camera in these situa-
tions. You could otherwise injure others or dam-
age object sand the vehicle while parking and
maneuvering.
The field of vision and other functions of the rear
view camera may be restricted due to additional accessories on the rear of the vehicle (e.g.
license plate holder, rear-mounted bicycle
rack).
Guide lines are alwayss hown at road level. In
trailer mode, the guide lines are shown at the
level of the trailer coupling.
If you change wheel size, make sure they corre-
spond to the correctw heel size category
(
Ypage 267). If the category is changed without
recoding the control units in the vehicle, the rear
view camera cannot be precisely calibrated. The
guide lines at road level or at the level of the
trailer tow hitch will not be displayed correctly.
In vehicles with atailgate, the rear view camera
is protected from raindrops and dust by means
of aflap. When the rear view camera is activa-
ted, this flap opens.
The flap closes again when:
Ryou have finished the maneuvering process
Ryou switch off the engine For technical reasons, the flap may remain open
briefly after the rear view camera has been
deactivated.

era flap opens. The audio display shows the
area behind the vehicle. The rear area shown
is divided by guide lines.
In vehicles with atrailer coupling installed, the
function mode of the rear view camera can be
switched over when the trailer is reached. The
rear view camera then changes the viewing
angle and shows alocating aid for the ball cou-
pling of the trailer tow hitch to help reach the
drawbar.
XTo switch function mode: select and con-
firm "Reverse parking" function :or "Cou-
pling up atrailer“ function ;using the audio
system control knob.
