Usage
The system uses optical signals in the exterior mirror
to alert the driver to vehicles that could be danger-
ous when changing lanes.
Functionality
The system monitors the area next to and behind the
vehicle.
The system warns of an approaching vehicle through
the warning light in the exterior mirror cover on
the side of the vehicle where the vehicle is recog-
nized.
Driving situations in which a system warning is
given
Your vehicle will be overtaken by vehicle
A.
The fast-
er the vehicle A approaches, the earlier the warning
light comes on.
Vehicle B is overtaken by your vehicle at a speed
that is faster by max. 10 km/h. If the speed is higher
during the overtaking process, no warning will be
provided by the indicator light.
Indicator light
illuminates - there is another vehicle behind your
vehicle
flashes - there is another vehicle behind your ve-
hicle, and the turn signal on the same side is switch-
ed on
For vehicles with Lane Assist The indicator light
flashes even if your vehicle crosses the boundary line
in the direction of the approaching vehicle. The sys-
tem will trigger a steering wheel vibration in this
case.
For this, Lane Assist must be activated and the boun-
dary line between the vehicles recognized.
Operating conditions
✓ The driving speed is higher than 15 km/h.
