Side collision mitigation
Principle
The side-collision warning helps to avoid an
impending side collision.
If, for example, another vehicle is detected next
to your vehicle and there is a risk of collision
with this vehicle, the system helps avoid a col-
lision. To do so, the system issues a warning
by flashing the warning light on the exterior
mirror, issuing a Check Control message, and
vibrating the steering wheel.
If necessary, an active steering intervention is
performed by the system.
The sensors monitor the space next to the ve-
hicle.
The side-collision warning can be activated
or deactivated on the control display. The se-
verity of the steering wheel vibration can be
adjusted.
Safety information
Follow the safety information in the "Forward
Collision Mitigation" chapter.
Functional requirement
The camera behind the windshield determines
the lane boundary positions.
The camera must detect the lane markings for
the side collision mitigation with steering inter-
vention to be active.
Speed range
The side-collision warning function is activated
when your vehicle exceeds a given minimum
speed. The minimum speed is country-specific
and displayed on the control display.
This system responds when your vehicle
speed is less than approx. 130 mph/210 km/h.
Sensors
The side-collision warning is controlled by the
following sensors:
