206Driving and operatingThe system may not operate properly
when:
● Ice, snow, mud, stickers, magnets, metal plates, or
anything else covers the sensors.
● Driving in heavy rainstorms.
● The vehicle had an accident or if the area surrounding the
detection sensor is damaged or
not properly repaired.
● There are extreme temperature changes.
● The vehicle is towing a trailer
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.
Notice
Each new vehicle requires a
calibration. For optimal
performance, drive as soon as
possible on a straight motorway
road with roadside objects, e.g.
guardrails and barriers for some
distance.Lane change alert
Additional to the side blind spot alert
3 205, lane change alert recognises
rapidly approaching vehicles from
behind on parallel lanes next to your
vehicle.
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 light.
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 lights, 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 operating207Detection 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.
50 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 3 122.
Info Display 3 116.
Deactivation is indicated by a
message in the Driver Information
Centre.
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 control
indicator F to light up, as water
splash can be interpreted as an object. Otherwise the control indicator
F may illuminate due to guardrails,
signs, trees, shrubs or other immobile
objects. This is normal operation and
the system does not need to be
serviced.The system may not operate properly
when:
● ice, snow, mud, stickers, magnets, metal plates, or
anything else covers the sensors
● driving in heavy rainstorms
● the vehicle had an accident or if the area surrounding the
detection sensor is damaged or
not properly repaired
● there are extreme temperature changes
● the vehicle is towing a trailer

256Vehicle careAll wheels must be equipped with
pressure sensors and the tyres must
have the prescribed pressure.
Notice
In countries where the tyre pressure monitoring system is legally
required, the use of wheels without
pressure sensors will invalidate the
vehicle operating permit.
Select the Tyre pressure monitoring
page under the Info Menu in the
Driver Information Centre 3 110.
System status and pressure warnings
are displayed by a message
indicating the corresponding tyre in the Driver Information Centre.
The system considers the tyre
temperature and the tyre loading
setting for the warnings.
Tyre loading setting, see below in this chapter.
Temperature dependency 3 254.
Baselevel display: If the pressure of a
tyre decreases significantly, the
respective tyre pressure value is displayed inverted.
Uplevel display: Tyre pressure values in normal range are shown in greenletters. If the pressure of a tyre
decreases significantly, the
respective value will turn its colour to
amber.
A detected low tyre pressure
condition is indicated by the control
indicator w 3 108.
If
w illuminates, stop as soon as
possible and inflate the tyres as
recommended 3 291.
Ensure that vehicle loading status
matches selected tyre pressure.
Vehicle loading status, see below in
this chapter.
After inflating, some driving may be
required to update the tyre pressure
values in the Driver Information
Centre. During this time w may
continue to illuminate.
If w illuminates at lower temperatures
and extinguishes after some driving,
this could be an indicator for
approaching a low tyre pressure
condition. Check tyre pressure.
Vehicle messages 3 121.
Only mount wheels with pressure
sensors, otherwise the tyre pressure
will not be displayed and w
illuminates continuously.
A spare wheel or temporary spare
wheel is not equipped with pressure
sensors. The tyre pressure
monitoring system is not operational
for these wheels. Control indicator w
