& WARNING
• Improper reliance on the side assist system can cause collisions

- Alway s check rear view mirrors to make sure that it is safe to
change lanes.

danger of accident!
• Side assist cannot detect vehicles
in time to alert you when
they approach from behind at very high speed, or fall drop bac;k
very quickly .
• The radar sensor's
vision can be reduced or entirely blocked by
rain, snow, and heavy spray. This can result in side assist not
adequately detecting vehicles or, in some cases, not detecting
them at all. Always keep an eye on the direction you are traveling
and the relevant area around the vehicle.
• Please note that side assist indi cates there are approaching
vehicles, or vehicles in your blind spot, only after your vehicle has
reached a driving speed of at least 19 mph (30 km/h).
• Side assist signal does not work around tight corners (turning
radius less than 328 feet or 100 m).
• Side assist is no replacement for the driver's full attention. The
driver alone is responsible for lane changes and similar driving
maneuvers. Always keep an eye on the direction you are traveling
and the relevant area around the vehicle .
