Spot Assist
Blind Spot Assist does not react to either sta-
tionary objects or vehicles approaching and
overtaking you at a greatly dierent speed.
Blind Spot Assist cannot warn drivers in these
situations.
#
Always pay careful attention to the tr
ac
situation and maintain a safe distance at
the side of the vehicle.
Blind Spot Assist is only an aid. It may fail to detect
some v
ehicles and is no substitute for attentive
driving. Ensure that there is sucient distance to
the side from other road users and obstacles.
If a vehicle is detected above speeds of approx-
imately 7.5 mph (12 km/h) and this vehicle subse-
quently enters the detection range directly next to
your vehicle, the warning lamp in the outside mir-
ror lights up red.

When a trailer is connected, the radar sensor's
eld of vision ma
y be impaired, thereby mak-
ing limited monitoring possible. Always pay
careful attention to the trac situation and
maintain a safe distance at the side of the
vehicle.
If a vehicle is detected close to your vehicle in the
lat
eral detection range and you switch on the turn
signal indicator in the corresponding direction, a
warning tone sounds. The red warning lamp in the
outside mirror ashes. If the turn signal indicator
remains switched on, all other detected vehicles
are indicated only by the ashing of the red warn-
ing lamp.
If you overtake a vehicle quickly, no warning is
given.
Exit warning
The exit warning is an additional function of Blind
Spot Assist and warns vehicle occupants when
