x Adapt your speed and distance from the
vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather,
road and traffic conditions.
x Your hands should always be on the
steering wheel so that you can steer at
any time.
x Observe the displays in the exterior mir-
ror housings and on the instrument clus-
ter display and act in accordance with
the requests.
x Always pay attention to what is happen-
ing around the vehicle.
x Never use the lane change system if the
radar sensors are dirty, covered or dam-
aged. These circumstances can impair
the proper functioning of the system.
x It may be hard to see the display in the
wing mirror in direct sunlight. The radar sensors calibrate themselves
once in the first f
ew kilometres after
vehicle delivery and if the sensors are re-
paired. The sensor range may be limited dur-
ing the calibration phase. Driving with the lane change
system
Please refer to at the start of the chap-
ter on page 172. Fig. 113
In the e
xterior mirror housing: visual
displays of the lane change system.
Switching on and off
You can switch the lane change system on
and off in the Assist systems menu of the In-
fotainment system. When the lane change
system is switched on, the yellow indicator
lamp in the exterior mirror housing lights
up once briefly.
This most recent system setting is retained
e

ven after the ignition has been switched off
and on.
Function
When switched on, the lane change system is
active from a speed of around 15 km/h
(9 mph). The lane change system is deactiva-
ted at a vehicle speed below 10 km/h
(6 mph).
In the following driving situations, the yellow
indicator lamp lights up in the housing of
the respectiv

e exterior mirror:

The yellow indicator lamp flashes if a pos-
sible critical situation is detected when you
indicate in the direction of the detected v
ehi-
cle.
The faster another vehicle approaches, the
earlier there is a corresponding display in the
exterior mirror.
Lane change system “Side Assist Plus”
If the vehicle is equipped with a lane keeping
system (Lane Assist) and the system is
switched on, the driver is warned by a correc-
tive steering intervention when changing
lanes during a possible critical situation (in-
formation level, warning level). The steering
intervention also occurs when the turn signal
is activated for the corresponding direction. If
the steering intervention is overridden by the
driver, the steering wheel vibrates to give an
additional warning. For this, steering wheel
vibration must be activated in the Assist sys-
tems menu in the Infotainment system.
Automatic deactivation
The lane change system will switch off auto-
matically if the radar sensors are permanent-
ly covered. This can be caused by a layer of
ice or snow in front of the radar sensor, for
example.
A text message will be shown on the instru-
ment cluster display.
If you use the factory-fitted trailer towing
coupling and have set up the necessary elec-
trical connection, the lane change system
switches off automatically. After you have
disconnected the electrical connection, the
lane change system is switched back on au-
tomatically.
If the trailer towing coupling is not factory-
fitted, you must manually switch off the lane
change system and then switch it back on
again.
Brightness
The brightness of the visual display will
change automatically depending on the am-
bient light levels. You can adjust the basic brightness of the
display in the Assist systems menu in the In-
f
otainment system. The lane change system
is not active during the setting procedure. Troubleshooting
Please refer to at the start of the chap-
ter on page 172. Lane change system fault.

together with the ABS indicator lamp the control function of the ABS may
ha

ve failed. This can cause the rear
wheels to lock relatively quickly when
you brake. Locked rear wheels can lead
to a loss of control of the vehicle. If pos-
sible, reduce your speed and drive care-
fully at low speed to the nearest quali-
fied workshop in order to have the brake
system tested. Avoid sudden braking and
driving manoeuvres on the way.
x If the ABS indicator lamp does not go
out or comes on while the v
ehicle is in
motion, the ABS is not working properly.
The vehicle can be stopped using the
normal brakes only (without the anti-
lock brake system). The protection pro-
vided by the anti-lock brake system is no longer available. Go to a qualified work-
shop as soon as possible.

ore you visit a qualified workshop, you
can perform the following troubleshooting
measures:

x
Do not use fuel, nail v arnish remover, paint
thinner or similar products to clean the
windows. Wax deposits on the windscreen and
rear window could cause the wiper
blades to rub. Remo

ve wax residue using
a special cleaning product or cleaning cloths. Exterior lighting
Introduction to the topic
Bef

ore changing a bulb, check whether a bulb
or LED light unit has failed. You can normally
change bulbs yourself. If the exterior lighting
is realised using LED technology, depending
on model and vehicle equipment, it is not
possible for you to change the LED light units
or individual LEDs yourself. If individual LEDs
fail, this may be an indication that more LEDs
are on the point of failure. In this case, have
the LED light units checked and renewed if
necessary at a qualified workshop.
It may be illegal to drive with faulty exterior
lights.
Additional bulb specifications
Some bulbs might have factory specifications
that differ from standard bulbs. The designa-
tion is inscribed on the bulb, either on the
glass part or on the base. NOTICE
Damage to the electrical system can be
caused by water entering the system if the
rubber co

ver or plastic covers on the head-
light housing are not properly mounted after
a bulb has been changed. Checklist “Information on
changing bulbs”
Please refer to and at the start of
the chapter on page 295.

If the power supply of the towed v ehicle
fails, stop towing immediately and seek
expert assistance. NOTICE
Towing with a tow-rope or tow-bar can dam-
age the v
ehicle.
x Tow the vehicle carefully with a tow-rope
or tow-bar.
x If possible, have the broken-down vehicle
transported by a breakdown truck. NOTICE
When pushing the vehicle by hand, the tail
light clusters, side spoilers on the rear win-
dow and large panels can be damaged and
the rear spoiler may become detached.
x When pushing the v

ehicle by hand, do not
press on the tail light clusters, side spoilers
on the rear window, large panels and the
rear spoiler. NOTICE
The vehicle can be damaged, e.g. the vehicle
paintwork, when remo
ving and fitting the
cover and towing eye.
x Remove and install the cover and the tow-
ing eye carefully so as to avoid damage to
the vehicle. NOTICE
Use of a towing eye that is not suitable for
the v
ehicle can damage the vehicle.
x Always use the towing eye supplied in the
vehicle toolkit of your vehicle or a towing
eye that is suitable for the vehicle for tow-
ing. Notes on towing
Please refer to and at the start of
the chapter on page 304.
It is still possible to activ

ate the turn signals
in a vehicle that is being towed, even if the
hazard warning lights are switched on. To do
this, operate the turn signal and main beam
lever in the required direction while the igni-
tion is switched on. The hazard warning lights
will not flash while the turn signal is being
used. The hazard warning lights will start
flashing again automatically as soon as the
turn signal and main beam lever is moved
back to the neutral position.
In which situations may the vehicle not be
towed?
In the following situations, the vehicle may
not be towed for a long distance on its own
