Issued warning
Lamp in the exterior mirror
Information stage
The dimmed lamp in the exterior mirror indi‐
cates when there are vehicles in the blind spot
or approaching from behind.
WARNING
If the turn signal is set while a vehicle is in the
critical zone, the steering wheel vibrates briefly
and the lamp in the exterior mirror flashes
brightly.
Vehicles with side collision warning: it at
speeds between 45 mph/70 km/h and
130 mph/210 km/h the vibrating steering
wheel is ignored and the lane marking crossed,
the system intervenes with a brief active steer‐
ing intervention and helps to return the vehicle
into the lane. The steering intervention can be
noticed on the steering wheel and can be man‐
ually overridden at any time.
The warning stops when the turn signal is
switched off, or the other vehicle leaves the
critical zone.
Brief flashing of the lamp
A brief flashing of the lamp during vehicle un‐
locking serves as system self-test.
