® Vehicles that are approaching
In ce rtain cases, a vehicle will be classified as
critica l for a lane change even if it is still some-
what far away. The faste r a vehicle app roaches,
the soo ner the display in the exterio r mirror will
turn on.
@ Vehicles traveling with you
Veh icles traveli ng with you are ind icated in the
exte rior m irror if they are classified as critical for
a lane change. All vehi cles detec t ed by side assist
A s si s t a nce systems
are ind icated by the time they enter your "blind
spot", at the latest.
© Vehicles you are passing
If
you s lowly pass a vehi cle that s ide assist has
det ected (the difference in speed between t he
vehicle a nd you r vehicle is less than 9 mph (15
km/h)), the display in the exterior mi rror turns
on as soon as the vehicle enters your blind spot.
The display w ill not tu rn on if you quickly pass a
vehicle th at side ass ist has de t ected (the d iffer-
ence in speed is greater t han 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
t he norma l width. In some sit ua t ions, t he display
in the exterior m irror may turn on even though
there is no veh icle located in the area that is criti-
cal for a lane change. For example:
- If the lanes are na rrow or if you are dr iving on
the edge of you r lane . If t his is the case, the
system may have detected a vehicle in another
lane that is
not adjacent to your current lane.
- If you are driving through a curve . Side assist
may react to a vehicle that is one lane over
from the adjacent lane .
- If side assist reacts to other objects (such as
high or disp laced guard rai ls).
- In poor weather conditions. The side assist
functions are limited .
Do no t cover the radar senso rs
¢ fig. 106 wit h
stickers, deposits, bicycle wheels or other ob-
jects, because t hey will impair the func t ion. Do
not use side assist when towing a trai ler. For in-
format ion on cleaning, see ¢

A WARNING
-== -
- Always pay attention to traffic and to the
area around your vehicle. Side assist cannot
replace a driver's atte ntion. The driver alone
is always respons ible for la ne cha nges and
similar dr iving maneuvers .
- In some situations, the system may not
function o r its function may be limit ed. For
