With hazard warning system switched on.  
When flashing.  
Active Blind Spot Detection  
with active return  
While Dynamic Stability Control regulates  
driving stability.  
Principle  
Active Blind Spot Detection detects vehicles  
in the blind spot or vehicles approaching from  
behind in the adjacent lane.  
Immediately following a steering interven-  
tion by the vehicle systems.  
With manual steering intervention.  
The warning light in the exterior mirror gives  
warnings at different levels.  
When another driver assistance system is  
activated, if applicable.  
An automatic steering intervention helps to  
keep the vehicle in its lane.  
No lane boundaries detected.  
When the system limits are reached.  
General information  
System limits  
General information  
Follow the system limits in the "Collision warn-  
ing systems" chapter.  
Functional limitations  
The system may be limited in the following  
situations:  
Radar sensors monitor the area behind and  
next to the vehicle when traveling faster than a  
minimum speed.  
In the event of missing, worn, poorly visible,  
merging, diverging, or multiple lane boun-  
daries such as in construction areas.  
The minimum speed is country-specific and  
displayed in the Active Blind Spot Detection  
menu.  
With lane boundaries that are covered in  
snow, ice, dirt or water.  
In tight corners or on narrow roads.  
The system indicates whether there are vehi-  
cles in your blind spot, arrow 1, or approaching  
from behind in an adjacent lane, arrow 2. The  
warning light in the exterior mirror illuminates  
dimly.  
With lane boundaries that are covered by  
objects.  
When driving very close to the vehicle in  
front of you.  
Up to 10 seconds after turning on drive-  
ready state using the Start/Stop button.  
The system will warn in the previously named  
situations prior to a lane change. The warn-  
ing light in the exterior mirror flashes and the  
steering wheel vibrates.  
A Check Control message may be displayed  
when the system is limited. A yellow warning  
light also illuminates, depending on national-  
market version.  
When turning at a speed of up to approx.  
12 mph/20 km/h, the steering wheel will not  
vibrate.

Prewarning  
System limits  
The dimmed warning light in the exterior mirror  
indicates when vehicles are in your blind spot  
or approaching from the rear.  
General information  
Follow the system limits in the "Collision warn-  
ing systems" chapter.  
Acute warning  
Upper speed limit  
If the vehicle speed exceeds approx.  
155 mph/250 km/h, the system is deactivated  
temporarily.  
When an acute warning occurs, the steering  
wheel vibrates briefly. The warning light in the  
exterior mirror flashes brightly.  
An acute warning is issued if the following con-  
ditions are met:  
If the vehicle speed falls below approx.  
155 mph/250 km/h, the system is reactivated.  
Another vehicle is located in the critical  
area.  
Displaying warnings  
Your own vehicle is approaching the other  
lane.  
The number of warnings shown depends on  
how the settings are configured. However,  
there may also be an excess of unwarranted  
warnings of critical situations.  
Depending on the system setting when the  
turn signal is turned on.  
The warning stops when the other vehicle has  
left the critical area.  
Functional limitations  
The system may be limited in the following  
situations:  
Steering intervention  
Depending on the national-market version:  
when there is no response to the vibration  
of the steering wheel at speeds of up to  
130 mph/210 km/h and the lane marking  
is crossed, the system engages the active  
steering intervention. The steering intervention  
helps return the vehicle into the lane. The  
steering intervention can be noticed on the  
steering wheel and can be manually overrid-  
den at any time.  
When a vehicle is approaching at a speed  
much faster than your own.  
In tight corners or on narrow roads.  
The bumper is dirty, iced up or covered,  
for instance by stickers.  
Depending on the national-market version, the  
steering intervention e.g. in the following situa-  
tions:  
In the event of missing, worn, poorly visible,  
merging, diverging, or multiple lane boun-  
daries such as in construction areas.  
The steering intervention is carried out from  
a minimum speed. The minimum speed is dis-  
played on the control display.  
With lane boundaries that are covered in  
snow, ice, dirt or water.  
Warning light flashing  
When the vehicle is unlocked, the warning light  
in the exterior mirror flashes for self-testing  
purposes.  
With lane boundaries that are not white.  
With lane boundaries that are covered by  
objects.  
When driving very close to the vehicle in  
front of you.

Functional requirement  
The camera behind the windshield determines  
the lane boundary positions.  
Up to 10 seconds after turning on drive-  
ready state using the Start/Stop button.  
A Check Control message may be displayed  
when the system is limited. A yellow warning  
light also illuminates, depending on national-  
market version.  
The camera must detect the lane markings for  
the side collision mitigation with steering inter-  
vention to be active.

Side collision mitigation  
Camera behind the windshield.  
Radar sensors, side, front.  
Radar sensors, side, rear.

2. "Vehicle"  
If, for example, another vehicle is detected next  
to your vehicle and there is a risk of collision  
with this vehicle, the system helps avoid a col-  
lision. For this purpose, the system issues a  
warning with a flashing LED in the exterior mir-  
ror, a Check Control message and a vibrating  
steering wheel. If necessary, an active steering  
intervention is performed by the system.
