properly.

Indicator and warning display

Active Blind Spot Assist is not active at

speeds below approximately 30 km/h. Vehi-

cles in the monitoring range are then not indi-

cated.

:

Yellow indicator lamp/red warning lamp

If Active Blind Spot Assist is switched on,

indicator lamp : in the exterior mirrors lights

up yellow up to a speed of 30 km/h. At

speeds above 30 km/h, the indicator lamp

goes out and Active Blind Spot Assist is

operational.

If a vehicle is detected within the monitoring

range of Blind Spot Assist at speeds above

30 km/h, warning lamp : on the corre-

sponding side lights up red. This warning

always occurs when a vehicle enters the blind

spot monitoring range from behind or from

the side. When you overtake a vehicle, the

warning only occurs if the difference in speed

is less than 12 km/h.

The yellow indicator lamp goes out if reverse

gear is engaged. Active Blind Spot Assist is

then no longer active.

The brightness of the indicator/warning

lamps is adjusted automatically according to

the ambient light.

Visual and acoustic collision warning

When you switch on the turn signals to

change lanes and a vehicle is detected in the

side monitoring range, you receive a visual

and acoustic collision warning. You then hear

a double warning tone and red warning

lamp : flashes. If the turn signal remains on,

detected vehicles are indicated by the flash-

ing of red warning lamp :. There are no fur-

ther warning tones.

WARNING

A course-correcting brake application cannot

always prevent a collision. There is a risk of

an accident.

Always steer, brake or accelerate yourself,

especially if Active Blind Spot Assist warns

you or makes a course-correcting brake appli-

cation. Always maintain a safe distance at the

sides.

In very rare cases, the system may make an

inappropriate brake application. An inappro-

priate brake application may be interrupted

at any time if you steer slightly in the opposite

direction or accelerate.

If Active Blind Spot Assist detects a risk of a

side impact in the monitoring range, a course-

correcting brake application is carried out.

This is designed to help you avoid a collision.

The course-correcting brake application is

available in the speed range between

30 km/h and 200 km/h.

If a course-correcting brake application

occurs, red warning lamp : flashes in the

exterior mirror and the following is shown in

the multifunction display, for example:
