Indicator and warning display
CYellow indicator lamp/red warning lamp
Active Blind Spot Assist is not active at speedsbelow approximately 20 mph (30 km/h). Vehi-cles in the monitoring range are then not indi-cated.
When Active Blind Spot Assist is activated,indicator lamp Cin the exterior mirrors lightsup yellow at speeds of up to 20 mph(30 km/h). At speeds above 20 mph(30 km/h), the indicator lamp goes out andActive Blind Spot Assist is operational.
If a vehicle is detected within the monitoringrange at speeds above approximately 20 mph(30 km/h), warning lamp Con the corre-sponding side lights up red. This warningalways occurs when a vehicle enters the moni-toring range from behind or from the side.When you overtake a vehicle, the warning onlyoccurs if the difference in speed is less than7 mph (12 km/h).
The yellow indicator lamp goes out if reversegear is engaged. In this event, Active BlindSpot Assist is no longer active.
The brightness of the indicator/warning lampsis adjusted automatically according to theambient light.
Visual and acoustic collision warning
If you switch on the turn signals to changelanes and a vehicle is detected in the sidemonitoring range, you receive a visual andacoustic collision warning. You will then hear a
double warning tone and red warning lamp Cflashes. If the turn signal remains on, detectedvehicles are indicated by the flashing of redwarning lamp C. There are no further warningtones.
Course-correcting brake application
If Active Blind Spot Assist detects a risk of alateral collision in the monitoring range, acourse-correcting brake application is carriedout. This is meant to assist you in avoiding acollision.
GWARNING
A course-correcting brake application can-
not always prevent a collision. There is a risk
of an accident.
Always steer, brake or accelerate yourself,
especially if Active Blind Spot Assist warns
you or makes a course-correcting brake
application. Always maintain a safe distance
at the sides.
If a course-correcting brake applicationoccurs, red warning lamp Cflashes in theexterior mirror and a dual warning tonesounds. In addition, display Dunderlining thedanger of a side collision appears in the multi-function display.
In very rare cases, the system may make aninappropriate brake application. A course-cor-recting brake application may be interruptedat any time, e.g. if you steer slightly in theopposite direction or depress the acceleratorpedal more firmly.
The course-correcting brake application isavailable in the speed range between 20 mph(30 km/h) and 120 mph (200 km/h).
