Side assist funct ions at speeds above approxi-

@ Approaching vehicles
In certain cases, a vehicle w ill be classified as
critical for a lane change even if it is still some -
what far away . The faster a vehicle approaches,
the sooner the display in the exterior m irro r will
tu rn on.
@ Vehicles traveling with you
Vehicles traveling with you are indicated in the
exter ior mirror if they a re classified as cr it ical for
a la ne cha nge . All vehicles detected by side assist
are ind icated by the time they ente r you r "blind
spot" , at the lat es t .
@ Vehicles you are passing
If you s low ly pass a veh icle that s ide ass ist has
detected (the difference in speed between the
vehicle and you r vehicle is less than app roximate-
ly 9 mph (15 km/h)) , the disp lay in the exter ior
mir ror tur ns on as soon as t he vehicle en t e rs your
blind spot .
The display w ill not t ur n on if you quickly pass a
vehicle that side ass ist has detected (the diffe r-
ence in speed is grea t er t han approximate ly 9
mph (15 km/h)) .
Functional limitations
The radar sensors are des igned to detect the left
and right adjacent lanes when the road lanes are

in the exte rior m irror may turn o n even though
t here is no veh icle located in t he area t hat is criti-
cal for a lane change. For example : ..,.
