G
Warning!
Please do not forget that your primary
responsibility is to drive the vehicle. A
driver’s attention to the road must always
be his/her primary focus when driving. For
your safety and the safety of others, stop
before trying to remove window fogging or
cleaning the window in front of the Night
View Assist camera.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet
(approximately 14 m) every second.

Blind Spot Assist
The Blind Spot Assist uses radar sensors to
monitor the area on both sides of your
vehicle. It will assist you when you change
lanes driving at speeds of above 20 mph
(30 km/h). A warning will appear in the
exterior rear view mirror as soon as another
vehicle is detected in the area being
monitored. If you then activate the
corresponding turn signals to change lanes,
you will see and hear a collision warning. The
Blind Spot Assist operates using two sensors
in the front bumper and four sensors in the
rear bumper.
G
Warning!
The Blind Spot Assist is only a driving aid
and may not detect all vehicles.
The Blind Spot Assist may not be able to
detect narrow vehicles such as
motorcycles or bicycles, or it may not
detect them until it is too late.
The monitoring function may be impaired if
your sensors are dirty, subject to heavy
spray, or if visibility is poor due to e.g. snow,
rain, or fog. This can result in vehicles not
being detected or being detected too late.
Blind Spot Assist cannot detect road, traffic
and weather conditions.
It is the driver’s responsibility at all times to
be attentive to road, weather and traffic
conditions and to provide the steering,
braking and other driving inputs necessary
to retain control of the vehicle. Failure to do
so could result in recognizing dangers too
late, possibly resulting in an accident and
serious injury to yourself and others.
In order for the Blind Spot Assist to function,
the radar sensors must be switched on and
operational.
When traveling in Canada in a vehicle not
registered in Canada, you must switch off the
radar sensor system (Y page 247). Canadian
law does not permit the use of the radar
sensor system for vehicles from outside of
Canada. When you switch off the radar sensor
system, the following functions are
deactivated:
