Warning function
Light in the exterior mirror
Prewarning
The dimmed light in the exterior mirror indicates
when there are vehicles in the blind spot or ap‐
proaching from behind.
Acute warning
If the turn signal is switched on while a vehicle is
in the critical zone, the steering wheel vibrates
briefly and the light in the exterior mirror flashes
brightly.
The warning stops when the other vehicle has
left the critical area or after deactivation of the
turn signal.
Vehicles with side collision
mitigation
If there is no response to the vibration of the
steering wheel at speeds of up to
130 mph/210 km/h and the lane marking is
crossed, the system intervenes with a brief active
steering intervention. The steering intervention
helps return the vehicle into the lane. The steer‐
ing intervention can be noticed on the steering
wheel and can be manually overridden at any
time.
Flashing of the light
A flashing of the light during vehicle unlocking
serves as system self-test.
System limits
Safety information
Warning
The system is designed to operate in certain
conditions and circumstances. Due to condi‐
tions or other factors, the system may not re‐
spond. There may be a risk of accident or risk
of damage to property. Actively intervene as
warranted. Refer to the information in this Own‐
er’s Manual regarding the scope of the sys‐
tem’s operation and limitations.
Upper speed limit
If the vehicle speed exceeds approx.
155 mph/250 km/h, the system is deactivated
temporarily.
If the vehicle speed falls below approx.
155 mph/250 km/h, the system once again re‐
sponds according to the setting.
Functional limitations
The system may not be fully functional in the fol‐
lowing situations:
When a vehicle is approaching at a speed
much faster than your own.
In heavy fog, wet conditions, or snowfall.
In tight curves or on narrow lanes.
If the bumper is dirty, iced up, or covered,
for instance by stickers.
If cargo protrudes.
Attaching any objects such as stickers or film in
the beam area of the radar sensors will also im‐
pact the function of the radar sensors and may
even cause them to fail.
For vehicles with side collision mitigation, the
steering intervention can be limited, for instance
in the following situation:
