Driving and operating181Side blind spot alertThe side blind spot alert system
detects and reports objects on either
side of the vehicle, within a specified
"blind spot" zone. The system
displays a visual alert in each exterior
mirror, when detecting objects that
may not be visible in the interior and
exterior mirrors.
The radar distance sensors are
located in the rear bumper.9 Warning
Side blind spot alert does not
replace driver vision.
The system does not detect:
● vehicles outside the side blind zones which may be rapidly
approaching
● pedestrians, cyclists or animals
Before changing a lane, always
check all mirrors, look over the
shoulder and use the turn signal.
When the system detects a vehicle in the side blind zone while driving
forwards, either while passing a
vehicle or being passed, a yellow
warning symbol F will illuminate in
the relevant exterior mirror. If the
driver then activates the turn signal,
the warning symbol F starts
flashing yellow as a warning not to
change lanes.
When the vehicle is started, both
exterior mirror displays will briefly illuminate to indicate that the system
is operating.
The system can be activated or
deactivated in the Info display.
Vehicle personalisation 3 91.
Side blind spot alert will be
deactivated when Lane change alert
is deactivated. Deactivation is
indicated by a message in the Driver
Information Centre.
Detection zones
The detection zones start at the rear
bumper and extend approx. 3 m
rearwards and to the sides. The
height of the zone is approx. between 0.5 m and 2 m off the ground.
Side blind spot alert is designed to
ignore stationary objects, e.g.
guardrails, posts, curbs, walls and
beams. Parked vehicles or oncoming
vehicles are not detected.
Fault
Occasional missed alerts can occur under normal circumstances and will
increase in wet conditions.
Side blind spot alert does not operate when the left or right corners of the
rear bumper are covered with mud,
dirt, snow, ice, slush, or in heavy
rainstorms.
Cleaning instructions 3 240.

182Driving and operatingIn the event of a fault in the system orif the system does not work due to
temporary conditions, the symbols in
the mirrors will be permanently
illuminated and a message is
displayed in the Driver Information Centre. Seek the assistance of a
workshop.
Lane change alert Additional to the side blind spot alert
3 181, lane change alert recognises
rapidly approaching vehicles from
behind on parallel lanes next to your
vehicle.
If the vehicle is equipped with lane change alert, side blind spot alert is
always included.
The system alerts visually in each
exterior mirror when detecting rapidly
approaching vehicles from behind.
The radar distance sensors are
located in the rear bumper.9 Warning
Lane change alert does not
replace driver vision.
Before changing a lane, always
check all mirrors, look over the
shoulder and use the turn signal.
When the system detects an
approaching vehicle from behind
which drives considerably faster, the
yellow warning symbol F will
illuminate in the relevant exterior mirror. If the driver then activates the
turn signal, the warning symbol F
starts flashing yellow as a warning not to change lanes.
Lane change alert is active at all
speeds.
When the vehicle is started, both exterior mirror displays will briefly
come on to indicate that the system is
operating.

Driving and operating183Detection zones
The system sensors cover a zone of
approx. 3.5 m parallel on both vehicle
sides and approx. 3 m rearwards on
side blind zone alert (A) and approx.
70 m rearwards on lane change alert (B) on parallel lanes. The zones start
at each exterior mirror. The height of
the zone is approx. between 0.5 m
and 2 m off the ground.
Deactivation Activation or deactivation of the lane
change alert can be set in the vehicle personalisation menu in the Info
display.
Vehicle personalisation 3 91.
Info display 3 85.
Deactivation is indicated by a
message in the Driver Information
Centre.
Note
Each new vehicle requires a
calibration. For optimal
performance, drive as soon as
possible on a straight highway road
with roadside objects, e.g. guardrails
and barriers for some distance.
System limitations
Occasional missed alerts can occur
under normal circumstances or in
sharp curves. The system can
temporarily alert of objects in the blind spot at specific weather conditions
(rain, hail etc). Driving on a wet road
or in the transitions from a dry area to
a wet area can cause the system to
light up, as water splash can be
interpreted as an object. Otherwise F may illuminate due to guardrails,
signs, trees, shrubs or other immobile
objects. This is normal operation and
the system does not need a service.The system may not operate properly
when:
● ice, snow, mud, or anything else covers the sensors
● driving in heavy rainstorms
● the vehicle had an accident
● there are extreme temperature changes
In the event of a fault in the system or if the system does not work due to
temporary conditions, a message is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre. Seek the assistance of a
workshop.
Panoramic view system The panoramic view system vision
displays an image of the area
surrounding the vehicle, along with
the front or rear camera views in the
centre console.

184Driving and operatingThe system uses four cameras:● rear camera, installed above the license plate
● front camera, installed in the grille or near the front emblem
● side cameras, located at the bottom of both exterior mirrors9Warning
The surround vision cameras have
blind spots and will not display all
objects near the corners of the
vehicle. Folding side mirrors that
are out of position will not display
the surrounding view correctly.
Always check around the vehicle
when parking or reversing.
1. Area displayed by the panoramic view system
2. Area not shown
Front vision camera
A view of the area in front of the
vehicle may be displayed in the Info
display. The front view is shown after
shifting from R to D and when the
vehicle is moving forward slower than
8 km/h.
9 Warning
The camera(s) do not display
children, pedestrians, bicyclists,
crossing traffic, animals, or any
other object outside of the
cameras’ field of view, below the bumper, or under the vehicle.
