(Side Assist) as an option.
The lane change assist warns the driver about
Dash panel

vehicles that are located to the side in the "blind spot"
or which are approaching rapidly from behind. To
achieve this, two radar sensors scan the adjacent
lanes on either side, both to the side and to the rear of
the vehicle. If the lane change assist detects a critical
situation, the warning light for the lane change assist
(LED system) in the exterior mirror housing on the side
of the vehicle in question indicates that there is a risk.
The system can be switched on and off using a switch
in the centre dash panel or using the multifunction
indicator. The system automatically switches to active
mode at a speed of 30 km/h or more.
