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 exam-

ple by cycle racks or overhanging loads. Fol-

lowing a severe impact or in the event of dam-

age to the bumpers, have the function of the

sensors checked at a qualified specialist

workshop. Blind Spot Assist may otherwise

not work properly.

Indicator and warning display

Yellow indicator lamp/red warning lamp

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 yel-

low at speeds of up to 20 mph (30 km/h). At

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

tor lamp goes out and Blind Spot Assist is

operational.

monitoring range at speeds above 20 mph

sponding side lights up red. This warning is

always emitted when a vehicle enters the

blind spot monitoring range from behind or

the warning only occurs if the difference in

speed is less than 7 mph (12 km/h).

Assist is no longer active.

The brightness of the indicator/warning

lamps is adjusted automatically according to

the ambient light.
