Lane Tracking package

General information

The Lane Tracking package consists of Blind
Spot Assist (

page 205) and Lane Keeping

Assist (

Blind Spot Assist

Important safety notes
Blind Spot Assist uses a radar sensor system
to monitor the areas on both sides of your
vehicle. It is active at speeds above
approximately 20 mph (30 km/h). A warning
display in the exterior mirrors draws your
attention to a vehicle detected in the
monitored area. If you switch on the
corresponding turn signal before changing
lane, you will also receive visual and audible
collision warnings. For this purpose, Blind
Spot Assist uses sensors in the rear bumper.

G

Warning

Blind Spot Assist is only an aid designed to
assist driving. It may fail to detect some
vehicles and is no substitute for attentive
driving.
Blind Spot Assist cannot detect road and
traffic conditions. It may fail to detect narrow
vehicles, such as motorcycles or bicycles, or
may only detect them too late.
Monitoring may be affected by dirty sensors,
strong spray or poor visibility caused by snow,
rain or mist, for example. In this case, vehicles
are detected late or not at all.
Always pay attention to traffic conditions and
your surroundings. Otherwise, you may fail to
recognize dangers in time, cause an accident
and injure yourself and others.
