Lane Tracking package
General notes
The Lane Tracking package consists of Blind
Spot Assist (
Y page 224) and Lane Keeping
Assist ( Y page 226).
Blind Spot Assist
General notes
Blind Spot Assist uses a radar sensor system
to monitor the areas on both sides of your
vehicle. It supports you from speeds of
30 km/h. A warning display in the exterior
mirrors draws your attention to vehicles
detected in the monitored area. If you then
switch on the corresponding turn signal to
change lane, you will also receive an optical
and audible collision warning. For monitoring,
Active Blind Spot Assist uses sensors in the
rear bumper.
For Blind Spot Assist to assist you, the radar
sensor system must be operational.
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Blind Spot Assist does not react to vehicles:
R overtaken too closely on the side, placing
them in the blind spot area
R
when the difference in the speed of
approach and overtaking is too great
As a result, Blind Spot Assist cannot warn
drivers in these situations. There is a risk of
an accident.
Always pay careful attention to the traffic sit-
uation and maintain a safe distance at the side
of the vehicle.
Blind Spot Assist is only an aid. It may fail to
detect some vehicles and is no substitute for
attentive driving. Always ensure that there is
sufficient distance to the side for other road
users and obstacles.
