Blind Spot Assist and Active Blind Spot

Function of Blind Spot Assist and Active
Blind Spot Assist with exit warning
Blind Spot Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist
use two lateral, rear-facing radar sensors to
monitor the area up to 130 ft (40 m) behind and
10 ft (3 m) next to your vehicle.
If a vehicle is detected at speeds above approx‐
imately 8 mph (12 km/h) and this vehicle subse‐
quently enters the monitoring range directly next
to your vehicle, the warning lamp in the outside
mirror lights up red.

If a vehicle is detected close to your vehicle and
you switch on the turn signal indicator in the cor‐
responding direction, a double warning tone
sounds and the red warning lamp in the outside
mirror flashes. If the turn signal indicator
remains switched on, all other detected vehicles
are indicated only by the flashing of the red
warning lamp.
If you overtake a vehicle quickly, no warning is
given.
