Blind Spot Assist
▌Function of Blind Spot Assist
Blind Spot Assist uses two lateral, rear-facing
radar sensors to monitor the area up to 130
(40 m) behind and 10 (3 m) directly next to your
vehicle.
If a vehicle is detected at speeds above approx-
imately 8 mph (12 km/h) and this vehicle subse-
quently enters the monitoring range directly next
to your vehicle, the warning lamp in the outside
mirror lights up red.
If a vehicle is detected close to the side of your
vehicle, the red warning lamp in the outside mirror
ashes. If you switch on the turn signal indicator
in the corresponding direction, a warning tone
sounds once. If the turn signal indicator remains
switched on, all other detected vehicles are indi-
cated only by the ashing of the red warning
lamp.
If you overtake a vehicle quickly, no warning is
given.
