Driver assistance
– The exit warning does not react to station-
ary objects or persons.
Intersection assist
Description
Applies to: vehicles with intersection assist
– The exit warning does not react if the vehicle
is so far into a parking space that it is hidden
by the vehicles in front and behind.
Note
– The exit warning system can remain availa-
ble for approximately three minutes after
unlocking the vehicle and opening the door
or after switching off the ignition. After this
period, the warning signals will light up
briefly while the system is deactivated.
– The system is not available in towing mode.
If the towing bracket is not factory-fitted
the system may not be switched off auto-
matically. The functions must not be used
when towing a trailer.

If or is displayed in the event of a fault,

How it works
If a fault persists, drive to a qualified workshop
soon and have it rectified.
In complex intersection situations, the intersec-
tion assist can warn the driver if it detects traffic
approaching from the side ðFig. 149.
Using the sensors for detecting the vehicle’s sur-
roundings, the system monitors the areas at the
front and sides of the vehicle at intersections and
blind exits. Under certain conditions, the system
detects objects, such as cars, as they approach
the vehicle ð . The system can also warn the
driver of a potential collision with approaching
