Side collision mitigation
Concept
The system helps to avoid imminent side colli‐
sions.
General information
Radar sensors monitor the space next to the ve‐
hicle when traveling faster than a minimum
speed of up to approx. 130 mph/210 km/h.
The minimum speed is country-specific and is
displayed in the menu for the intelligent Safety
systems.
The front camera determines the lane marking
positions.
If, for instance, another vehicle is detected next
to the vehicle and if there is a risk of collision with
this vehicle, the system helps avoid the collision.
For this purpose, the system issues a warning
with a flashing LED in the exterior mirror and a vi‐
brating steering wheel. If necessary, the system
will carry out an active steering intervention.
Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute for the
driver’s personal judgment in assessing visibility
and traffic situation. There is a risk of accident.
Adjust driving style to traffic conditions. Watch
traffic closely and actively intervene where ap‐
propriate.
Warning
Indicators and warnings cannot serve as a sub‐
stitute for the driver’s personal judgment. Due
to its limits, the system may not issue warnings
or reactions, or these may be issued late or in a
manner that is not consistent with their normal
use. There is a risk of accident. Adjust driving
style to traffic conditions. Watch traffic closely
and actively intervene where appropriate.
Functional requirement
The camera must detect the lane markings for
the side collision mitigation with steering inter‐
vention to be active.
