the vehicle, the speed of your
vehicle is between 12 or 33 and
140 km/h

difference of less than 10 km/h
- another vehicle is passing with a
speed difference of less than
25 km/h

curved road
- the vehicle is not pulling a trailer
- the sensors are not covered by
mud, ice or snow
- the warning zones in the door
mirrors or the detection zones on

covered with adhesive labels or
other objects
No alert will be given in the following
situations:
- in the presence of non-moving
objects, e.g. parked vehicles,
barriers, street lamps, road signs
- with vehicles moving in the
opposite direction
- driving on a winding road or a
sharp corner
- when passing or being passed by
a very long vehicle, e.g. lorry,
coach, which is at the same time
detected at the rear in the blind
spot angle and present in the
driver's forward field of vision
- in very heavy traffic, vehicles
detected in front and behind are
confused with a lorry or a
stationary object
- when passing too quickly
When the system detects a vehicle in
the side blind zone while driving
forwards, an LED will illuminate in the
relevant exterior mirror.
The LED comes on immediately when
your vehicle is being passed...
The system can be activated via the
vehicle settings menu in the Info
Display.
The state of the system is memorised
when switching off the ignition...
Other information:
Convex shape
The shape of the mirror makes
objects appear smaller, which will
affect the ability to estimate
distances.
Electric adjustment
Select the relevant exterior mirror by
pushing to the left or right.
Then swivel the control to adjust the
mirror...
Only use unleaded fuel that complies
with European standard EN 228 or
E DIN 51626-1 or equivalent.
The engine is capable of running with
fuel that contains up to 10% ethanol
(e.g. named E10).
Use fuel with the recommended
octane rating. A lower octane rating
can reduce engine power and torque
and slightly increases fuel
consumption...
