Blind Spot Assist with exit warning
Blind Spot Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist
use radar sensors to monitor the area up to
40 m behind and 3 m next to your vehicle.
The system can detect vehicles travelling from
approximately 12 km/h and bicycles travelling
from approximately 30 km/h and issue a warn‐
ing if they move into the monitoring range.
Display in the "assistance" menu in the multifunc‐
tion display
If a vehicle is detected close to the side of your
vehicle, the red warning lamp in the correspond‐
ing outside mirror flashes. The lane that the
vehicle is detected in is hatched out by the
assistance graphic.
If you still switch on the turn signal indicator in
the corresponding direction, a warning tone
sounds once and red radar waves next to your
vehicle are displayed in the assistance graphic. If
the turn signal indicator remains on, no further
warning tone will be sounded for other detected
vehicles.
If you overtake a vehicle quickly, no warning is
given.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your
responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recog‐
nise dangers (/ page 203).

WARNING Risk of accident despite Blind
Spot Assist
Blind Spot Assist does not react to vehicles
approaching and overtaking you at a greatly
different speed.
As a result, Blind Spot Assist cannot warn
drivers in this situation.
#
Always pay careful attention to the traf‐
fic situation and maintain a safe dis‐
tance at the side of the vehicle.
Exit warning
The exit warning is an additional function of
Blind Spot Assist and can warn vehicle occu‐
pants about approaching vehicles when leaving
the vehicle when stationary.
