“Blind Spot” Monitor

Introduction

237

The “Blind Spot” Monitor helps the

driver by detecting traffic behavior

behind the vehicle.

Radar sensors behind the rear bumper cover monitor the area behind the vehicle. The system measures the distance and

difference in speed to other vehicles and informs the driver through visual signals in the outside mirrors.

Only use the “Blind Spot” Monitor on paved roads.

Speed range

When the “Blind Spot” Monitor is switched on, it is active at speeds above approx. 15 km/h (approx. 9 mph).

WARNING

The “Blind Spot” Monitor is not a replacement for the driver's attention and works only within the system limitations. The

“Blind Spot” Monitor cannot detect all driving situations and all objects in the surrounding environment, and may not

provide warnings, may provide warnings with a delay, or may provide warnings in a way that is not desired. If you are

careless, there is a risk of accidents, serious injuries and death.

Always stay attentive and do not rely solely on the system. The driver is always responsible for control of the

vehicle and changing lanes.

Observe the system limitations ⇒ System limitations of the “Blind Spot” Monitor.

Always adapt your speed and distance to vehicles driving ahead based on the visual, weather, road, and trafﬁc

conditions.

Always keep your hands on the steering wheel so that you are prepared to steer at any time.

Pay attention to the displays in the outside mirror glass and in the instrument cluster display, and act accordingly.
