Driving Assistance PLUS package

General notes

The Active Driving Assistance PLUS package

consists of DISTRONIC PLUS (

page 185),

Active Blind Spot Assist (

page 221) and

Active Lane Keeping Assist (

page 224).

Active Blind Spot Assist

General notes
Active Blind Spot Assist uses a radar sensor

system, pointed toward the rear of the vehi-

cle, to monitor the area to the sides of the

vehicle which the driver is unable to see. A

warning display in the exterior mirrors draws

your attention to vehicles detected in the

monitored area. If you then switch on the cor-

responding turn signal to change lane, you

will also receive an optical and audible warn-

ing. If a risk of lateral collision is detected,

corrective braking may help you avoid a col-

lision. Active Blind Spot Assist evaluates the

free space in the direction of travel and to the

side before making a course-correcting brake

application. For this, Active Blind Spot Assist

uses radar sensors which are pointed in the

direction of travel.
Active Blind Spot Assist supports you from a

speed of approximately 20 mph (30 km/h).
Important safety notes
Active Blind Spot Assist is only an aid and is

not a substitute for attentive driving.
