Automatic change from DAB to FM
If DAB reception is poor, the device tries to find an FM station.
The station name is followed by ( ) while the station is being received on the
FM band. When the corresponding DAB station is can be received again, the
system automatically switches from FM to DAB.
If a DAB station is also not available in the FM band due to poor reception, In-
fotainment will be switched to mute.
L-band
For the DAB radio reception in different countries, different broadcasting rang-
es are used. In some countries the DAB radio reception is only possible in the
so called L-band.
If no L-band DAB radio reception is possible in the country then we recom-
mend turning off the L-band. The channel scan is therefore faster.

Wizard for “Blind Spot”Monitoring - OperationRead and observe
and on page 219 first.
At a speed over 15 km/h, the area alongside and behind the vehicle is moni-
tored by the system. At the same time, the distance and the difference in
speed between your vehicle and the other vehicles in the monitored area can
be measured.
When driving, the sensors monitor an area to the left and right to the extent of
a normal lane width.
If a vehicle is detected in the “blind spot” area, the system indicates this vehi-
cle by the indicator light  in the exterior mirror.
System constraint
The system is unable to recognise the specific lane width by means of sensors.
Therefore this can e.g. in the following cases respond to a vehicle in a further
lane.
▶ When driving on a road with narrow lanes or on the lane edge.
▶ Driving around a bend.
The system may also respond to objects on the roadside such as crash barriers,
noise barriers or similar objects.

warnings

Read and observe
and on page 219 first.
In the following situations, the indicator light in the outside mirror indicates avehicle in the “blind spot”.
▶ You vehicle
B
is being overtaken by vehicle
A
» Fig. 273 .
▶ Your vehicle
C
overtakes the vehicle
D
at a greater speed of max. 10
km » Fig. 274 . If the speed during the overtaking is even higher, then there is
no warning by the warning light.
The warning display is always in the exterior mirror on the side of the vehicle where a vehicle is detected in the “blind spot”.
The greater the speed difference between the two vehicles, the earlier the
warning (by means of the warning light) regarding the vehicle that is overtak-
ing you takes place.
Two warning levels

light up - a vehicle has been detected in the “blind spot”.

flash - a vehicle has been detected in the “blind spot” and the turn signal is
switched on .
An advanced warning for vehicles with Lane Assist

flash also if the steering wheel is turned in the direction of the vehicle in
the “blind spot” . Therefore the Lane Assist » page 243 must be enabled and
the boundary line between the vehicles detected.
If in this case your vehicle indicates crossing the boundary line, with a short vi-
bration of the steering wheel. 

In the modes for transverse and parallel parking guidance, orientation lines for
the assessment of distance and lane lines are displayed on the screen.
Screen display » Fig. 278
The distance is about 40 cm (safety distance limit).
The distance is about 100 cm.
The distance is about 200 cm.
The lane lines terminate approximately 300 cm behind the vehicle.
The distance may vary slightly depending on the load of the vehicle and the
road inclination.
The distance between the side lines corresponds approximately to the vehicle
width including mirrors.
Lane
The lane lines

wheel position.
CAUTION
The objects shown on the screen can be closer or even further away than they
appear. This is especially the case in the following situations.■
Protruding objects, such as the rear of a truck and the like.

When driving from a horizontal surface into a slope or a depression.

The system is active and ready to intervene.
The system intervenes when approaching the right-hand boundary lane.
Adaptive tracking takes place.
The system can intervene when the following basic conditions are present. The system is activated.
The vehicle is travelling at more than around 65 km/h 1)
.
The boundary line of at least one side of the lane is detected.
The driver's hands are on the steering wheel.
The lane is more than 2.5 m in width.
If the turn signal is switched on (e.g. when turning), no steering intervention takes place when the vehicle approaches the boundary line. The system re-
gards the situation as an intended lane change.
Warning lights in the instrument cluster The system is active, but not ready to intervene.
The system is active and ready to intervene or is currently intervening.
Adaptive lane assist
Adaptive tracking helps to keep the vehicle in the position between the boun-
dary lines selected by the driver, by means of steering intervention.
If the position within the lane is changed, the system quickly adapts and holds
the newly-selected position.
Steering wheel vibrations
In the following situations, it may occasionally be the case that due to the
steering wheel vibrations the syst4em indicates that a driver steering inter-
vention is required.
▶ The system is not able to keep the vehicle by a within the lane due to a
steering intervention.
▶ During an intense system-related steering intervention, the system suddenly
cannot recognize the boundary lines.WARNINGThe system function may be restricted if, for example there is danger due
to ruts on a downhill road or in a crosswind.1)

WARNING■Change when they are worn down to the wear indicators at the latest -
risk of accident.■
Improper wheel alignment affects the driving behaviour - there is an acci-
dent.
■
Unusual vibrations or “pulling” of the vehicle to one side could be a sign
of tyre damage. Reduce speed and stop! If no tyre damage is evident, seek
the assistance of a specialist garage.
Spare wheel
Use the emergency spare wheel only to reach the nearest specialist garage, as
it is not intended for permanent use .
A warning label is displayed on the rim of the temporary spare wheel.
Please note the following if you intend to use the temporary spare wheel. ▶ Do not cover the signs.
▶ Be particularly observant when driving.
▶ Inflate the temporary spare wheel to the maximum inflation pressure for the
vehicle » page 277 (the prescribed tyre pressure of the spare wheel R 18 is
4.2 bar).
In vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring, save the tyre pressure values in the
system » page 249 .
WARNING■
Never drive with more than one spare wheel mounted!■When driving with the temporary spare wheel at full throttle acceleration,
avoid sharp braking and fast cornering.■
Do not use snow chains on the temporary spare wheel.
■
Observe instructions on the warning sign of the emergency wheel.

Operating in winter conditions
All-year (or “winter”) tyres
All-season or “winter”tyres (indicated by an M+S or a mountain peak/snow-
flake symbol ) to improve the performance of the vehicle in winter condi-
tions.
For the best possible handling, use all-season or “winter” tyres on all four
wheels with a minimum tread depth of 4 mm.
If using “winter” tyres, fit the summer tyres on again in good time as they pro-
vide better handling properties, a shorter braking distance, less tyre noise, and
reduced tyre wear on roads which are free of snow and ice as well as at tem-
peratures above 7 °C. 
