Warning function
Light in the exterior mirror
The light in the exterior mirror warns of a possi‐
ble collision.
Advance warning
The dimmed light in the exterior mirror indicates
when vehicles are in the blind spot or are ap‐
proaching from the rear.
Acute warning
In case of an acute warning, the steering wheel
briefly vibrates and the light in the exterior mirror
flashes brightly.
An acute warning occurs when the following
conditions are met:
▷ Another vehicle is located in the critical area.
▷ Your own vehicle is approaching the other
lane.
▷ Depending on the system setting when the
turn indicator is turned on.
The warning stops when the other vehicle has
left the critical area.
Depending on the national-market
version
If there is no response to the steering wheel vi‐
brations and a lane boundary is crossed at
speeds of up to 210 km/h/130 mph, the system
responds, if necessary, with an active steering in‐
tervention. The steering intervention helps to re‐
turn the vehicle to its driving lane. Steering inter‐
vention can be felt at the steering wheel, and can
be overridden manually at any time.
Flashing of light
A flashing of the light in exterior mirror during ve‐
hicle unlocking serves as system self-test.

Safety note
WARNING
The system may not respond at all, or may re‐
spond too late, incorrectly or without justifica‐
tion due to system limitations. There is a risk of
accident or material damage. Observe the in‐
formation on the system limits and intervene
actively if necessary.
