Due to the nature of the system:
R
warnings may be issued in error when driv-
ing close to crash barriers or similar solid
lane borders.
R
warnings may be interrupted when driving
alongside particularly long vehicles, e.g.
trucks, for a prolonged time.
Indicator and warning display
:
Yellow indicator lamp/red warning lamp
Active Blind Spot Assist is not active at speeds
below approximately 20 mph (30 km/h). Vehi-
cles in the monitoring range are then not indi-
cated.
When Active Blind Spot Assist is activated,
indicator lamp : in the exterior mirrors lights
up yellow at speeds of up to 20 mph
(30 km/h). At speeds above 20 mph
(30 km/h), the indicator lamp goes out and
Active Blind Spot Assist is operational.
If a vehicle is detected within the monitoring
range at speeds above approximately 20 mph
(30 km/h), warning lamp : on the corre-
sponding side lights up red. This warning
always occurs when a vehicle enters the moni-
toring range from behind or from the side.
When you overtake a vehicle, the warning only
occurs if the difference in speed is less than
7 mph (12 km/h).
The yellow indicator lamp goes out if reverse
gear is engaged. In this event, Active Blind
Spot Assist is no longer active.
The brightness of the indicator/warning lamps
is adjusted automatically according to the
ambient light.
Visual and acoustic collision warning
If you switch on the turn signals to change
lanes and a vehicle is detected in the side
monitoring range, you receive a visual and
acoustic collision warning. You will then hear a
double warning tone and red warning lamp :
flashes. If the turn signal remains on, detected
vehicles are indicated by the flashing of red
warning lamp :. There are no further warning
tones.
Course-correcting brake application
If Active Blind Spot Assist detects a risk of a
lateral collision in the monitoring range, a
course-correcting brake application is carried
out. This is meant to assist you in avoiding a
collision.
G
WARNING
A course-correcting brake application can-
not always prevent a collision. There is a risk
of an accident.
Always steer, brake or accelerate yourself,
especially if Active Blind Spot Assist warns
you or makes a course-correcting brake
application. Always maintain a safe distance
at the sides.
If a course-correcting brake application
occurs, red warning lamp : flashes in the
exterior mirror and a dual warning tone
sounds. In addition, display ; underlining the
danger of a side collision appears in the multi-
function display.
In very rare cases, the system may make an
inappropriate brake application. A course-cor-
recting brake application may be interrupted
at any time, e.g. if you steer slightly in the
opposite direction or depress the accelerator
pedal more firmly.
The course-correcting brake application is
available in the speed range between 20 mph
(30 km/h) and 120 mph (200 km/h).
