▷ 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.
▷ After improperly performed work on the vehi‐
cle paint.
▷ 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:
▷ In the event of missing, worn, poorly visible,
merging, diverging, or multiple lane markings
such as in construction areas.
▷ When lane markings are covered in snow, ice,
dirt or water.
▷ When lane markings are not white.
▷ When lane markings are covered by objects.
▷ When driving very close to the vehicle in front
of you.
▷ If there are constant blinding effects because
of oncoming light, for instance from the sun
low in the sky.
▷ If the field of view of the camera or the wind‐
shield is dirty or covered in the area of the in‐
terior mirror.
▷ If the camera has overheated and been tem‐
porarily switched off due to excessively high
temperatures.
▷ Up to 10 seconds after the start of the engine
via the Start/Stop button.
▷ During calibration of the camera immediately
after vehicle delivery.
A Check Control message is displayed when the
system is not fully functional.
If the trailer power socket is in use or trailer tow‐
ing is activated, for instance during operation
with trailer or bicycle rack, the system cannot be
switched on. A Check Control message is dis‐
played.
Displaying warnings
Depending on the selected warning settings, for
instance warning time, more warnings can be
displayed. However, there may also be an excess
of premature warnings of critical situations.
Side collision mitigation
Concept
The system helps to avoid imminent side colli‐
sions.
General information
Four radar sensors in the bumpers monitor the
space next to the vehicle from a minimum speed
of up to approx. 130 mph/210 km/h.
The minimum speed is country-specific and is
displayed in the menu for the intelligent Safety
systems.
The front camera determines the lane marking
positions.
If, for instance another vehicle is detected next to
the vehicle and if there is a risk of collision with
this vehicle, the system helps avoid the collision.
For this purpose, the system issues a warning
with a flashing LED in the exterior mirror and a vi‐
