General information
Side assist monitors the blind spot and traffic be-
hind your vehicle and provides assistance when
you are changing lanes. If the system detects an
object approaching and classifies it as critical, the
display @ in the exterior mirror on that side of
the vehicle will turn on.
Driving situations
The side assist warning is active at speeds above
approximately 9 mph (15 km/h) and can help in
situations such as the following:
~ Your vehicle is being passed. The faster another
vehicle approaches from behind, the sooner the
display in the exterior mirror will turn on.
— There are vehicles traveling in the same direc-
tion as you ina lane adjacent to yours. The dis-
play in the exterior mirror will turn on when the
detected object is in the “blind spot”, at the lat-
est.
~ You are slowly passing another vehicle. If the
difference in speed between the two vehicles is
less than 9 mph (15 km/h), the display in the
exterior mirror will turn on.
Information stage
As long as you do not activate a turn signal, the
system will inform you about objects classified as
critical by turning on the display in the respective
exterior mirror @).
The display remains dim in the information stage
so that you are not distracted while looking for-
ward.
Warning stage
Once you activate a turn signal, the system will
inform you about objects classified as critical by
turning on the display in the respective exterior
mirror.
If other driver assistance systems (depending on
vehicle equipment) detect that your vehicle is
about to leave the lane, the display will blink
even if the turn signal lever is not activated to
warn you about objects that are classified as criti-
cal. You can also be warned with corrective steer-
ing © page 134, Lane departure warning.
System limitations
The system uses the data from the radar sensors
at the rear corners of the vehicle. They are de-
signed to detect the left and right adjacent lanes
when the road lanes are the normal width. In
some situations, the system may react to
vehicles in your own lane or lanes that are not di-
rectly adjacent to yours, or to objects on the side >
