Monitoring range of the sensors

In particular, the detection of obstacles can

be impaired if:

dirt on the sensors or anything else

covering the sensors

poor visibility, e.g. due to fog, heavy rain,

snow or spray

narrow vehicles, e.g. motorcycles or

bicycles

the road has very wide lanes

the road has narrow lanes

you are not driving in the middle of the lane

there are barriers or similar lane borders

Vehicles in the monitoring range are then not

indicated.

Example: Sedan

Blind Spot Assist monitors the area up to

10 ft (3 m) behind your vehicle and directly

next to your vehicle, as shown in the diagram.

If the lanes are narrow, vehicles driving in the

lane beyond the lane next to your vehicle may

be indicated, especially if the vehicles are not

driving in the middle of their lane. This may

be the case if there are vehicles driving at the

inner edge of their lanes.

Due to the nature of the system:

warnings may be issued in error when

driving close to crash barriers or similar

solid lane borders.

the warning is canceled when driving for an

extended period next to long vehicles, such

as trucks.

The two radar sensors for Blind Spot Assist

are integrated into the sides of the rear

bumper. Make sure that the bumper is free of

dirt, ice or slush in the vicinity of the sensors.

The sensors must not be covered, for

example by cycle racks or overhanging loads.

Following a severe impact or in the event of

damage to the bumpers, have the function of

the sensors checked at a qualified specialist

workshop. Blind Spot Assist may otherwise

not work properly.

Blind Spot Assist is not active at speeds below

approximately 20 mph (30 km/h). Vehicles in

the monitoring range are then not indicated.

When Blind Spot Assist is activated, indicator

lamp : in the exterior mirrors lights up

At speeds above 20 mph (30 km/h), the

indicator lamp goes out and Blind Spot Assist
