Active Blind Spot Detection
The concept
Issued warning
If you leave the lane and if a lane marking has
been detected, the steering wheel begins vi‐
brating.
If the turn signal is set before changing the
lane, a warning is not issued.
End of warning
The warning ends:
Two radar sensors below the rear bumper
monitor the area behind and next to the vehicle
at speeds above approx. 30 mph/50 km/h.
▷
▷
▷
▷
Automatically after approx. 3 seconds.
When returning to your own lane.
When braking hard.
The system indicates whether there are vehi‐
cles in the blind spot, arrow 1, or approaching
from behind on the adjacent lane, arrow 2.
When using the turn signal.
The lamp in the exterior mirror housing is dim‐
med.
System limits
The system may not be fully functional in the
following situations:
Before you change lanes after setting the turn
signal, the system issues a warning in the sit‐
uations described above.

In heavy fog, rain or snowfall.
In the event of missing, worn, poorly visi‐
ble, merging, diverging, or multiple lane
markings such as in construction areas.
The lamp in the exterior mirror housing flashes
and the steering wheel vibrates.

Attentiveness assistant
The concept
The system can detect increasing lack of alert‐
ness or fatigue of the driver during long, mo‐
notonous journeys, e.g., on highways. In this
situation, it is recommended that the driver
takes a break.

NBG009014A.
Compliance statement:
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
▷
This device may not cause harmful inter‐
ference, and
▷
this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
Note
Personal responsibility
Any unauthorized modifications or changes to
these devices could void the user's authority to
operate this equipment.
The system cannot act as a substitute for
the personal assessment of one's physical
state and may not detect an increasing lack of
alertness or fatigue or may not detect it cor‐
rectly. Therefore, make sure that the driver is
rested and alert; otherwise, risks may be de‐
tected too late and an accident be caused as a
result.◀
Brake force display
The concept
Function
The system is activated each time the engine
is started and cannot be switched off.
After travel has begun, the system is trained
about the driver, so that increasing lack of
alertness or fatigue can be detected.
This procedure takes the following criteria into
account:
▷
▷
During normal brake application, the outer
brake lights light up.
▷
Personal driving style, e.g., steering behav‐
ior.
During heavy brake application, the inner
brake lights light up in addition.
▷
Driving conditions, e.g., length of trip.
Starting at approximately 43 mph/70 km/h, the
system is active and can display a recommen‐
dation to take a break.
Active Protection
Break recommendation
General information
The Active Protection safety package consists
of systems that are independent of each other:
If the driver becomes increasingly less alert or
fatigued, a message is displayed in the Control
Display with the recommendation to take a
break.
