Six short-range radar sensors are located in the front and rear bumpers to monitor the zone to the side and rear of the car on both the left and the right. In so doing, they cover the 'blind spot' which drivers are unable to see in the exterior mirrors.
'If the system detects another vehicle in the danger zone, a red warning symbol appears in the exterior mirror glass,' said Johannes Fritz, Director, Sales and Marketing, Mercedes Car Group, Middle East and Levant. 'This symbol informs the driver that it may be dangerous to change lanes. Should the driver ignore this warning and switch on the indicators, the red symbol in the mirror will start to flash and an audible warning will also sound.'
Blind Spot Assist is offered for the S and CL-Class in conjunction with other radar-based assistance systems, such as DISTRONIC PLUS proximity control, Brake Assist PLUS, the PRE-SAFE® brake and parking guidance.
