Mercedes - CLS63AMG4matic - Brochure - 2014 - 2014

CLS CLASS 2014 The power to change the tide. It can happen in any arena of life: The arrival of something not merely new but startling and refreshingly different. And in that rare moment, what is born from the inspiration of one becomes an influence to many. Consider for a moment the electric lightbulb. The personal computer. Or the automobile. Each is an item whose existence we take for granted today, even as their form and capability continue to evolve. Every so often, these essential elements of everyday life undergo a revolutionary transformation. And from that point forward, we embrace our LEDs, smartphones, and even smarter automobiles. Now consider the leather lounge chair. The black dinner jacket. Or a pair of aviator sunglasses. Are icons of style and fashion also life-changing? If they alter how we see ourselves within our world, yes. Once in a great while, a designer is inspired to create something that asks “why not?” People might first wonder “what for,” until we realize it has transformed how we expect things to look, feel and perform. Enter the CLS ‑ Class: a startlingly modern take on the rich heritage of four-passenger Mercedes-Benz coupes. Only with a door for every seat. And a flowing, muscular body that reshaped every four-door car that followed it. The tide has been turned. Lightbulb, meet your LED. CLS 550 shown on cover with optional Cardinal Red metallic paint, PARKTRONIC, and Premium 1 and Driver Assistance Packages. CLS 550 shown above with optional Diamond White metallic paint, PARKTRONIC, Premium 1 and Driver Assistance Packages, and Wheel Package Plus One. CLS 63 AMG S‑Model 4matic shown with Steel Grey metallic paint, and optional PARKTRONIC, and Premium 1 and Driver Assistance Packages. Please see endnotes on back cover. The passion to turn sparks into a bonfire. If the CLS ‑Class had done nothing more than fuse the intimacy of a coupe with four welcoming doors, it would still have ignited the embers of driving passion. But a Mercedes -Benz never comes to life from a single spark of inspiration. The CLS can transform pressurized air into poised performance. It can enlist an army of LEDs to elucidate curves in the road, captivate its onlookers, and soothe its own inhabitants. It can watch for stalled traffic ahead, or sense a driver growing drowsy at the wheel. Most of all, it can fan the flames in its driver’s heart, without ever losing its cool. CLS 550 CLS 63 AMG 4matic 1 CLS 63 AMG S ‑Model 4matic 1 An advanced 402‑hp biturbo V‑8 and paddleshifted 7‑speed automatic join forces for a 5.1‑second 0–60 run.2 Innovations like Direct Injection and a new ECO Start/Stop system team up to elevate both performance and fuel-efficiency.3 The semi-active, self-leveling AIRMATIC® air suspension and 18" wheels4 maintain pace with grace. Optional 4matic® all‑wheel drive5 helps the CLS 550 tame slick roads and dry corners, yet it can sprint to 60 mph in 5.2 seconds with no loss of mpg. A handcrafted biturbo V‑8 — now with 550 hp — hurls its 531 lb‑ ft of torque through a new AMGdeveloped 4matic system, which promptly aims 67% of it toward the rear wheels. A multi-clutch AMG SPEEDSHIFT® MCT 7‑ speed transmission offers four selectable modes, while the AMG Adaptive Sport Suspension provides two. Flow formed or optional forged 19" AMG® wheels help save weight. ECO Start/Stop helps save fuel when you’re at a standstill. Hit the gas, and you’ll save time, rushing to 60 in 3.7 seconds. All hail the new king of four-door coupes. From within its handcrafted biturbo V-8 emerges the most potent output ever for a CLS: 577 hp and 590 lb‑ft of pavement- rippling peak torque. Its AMG performance 4matic system catapults the S‑Model to 60 mph in a scant 3.6 seconds, continuing on to a 186‑ mph top track speed.6 On the way up — and more importantly, back — its red brake calipers and AMG Adaptive Sport Suspension provide visual and visceral delights through the darkened spokes of its 19" wheels. The birth of timelessness. In astronomy or celebrity, the birth of a star rarely occurs without a significant degree of fanfare. Both a supernova and a supermodel have a way of not merely arriving on the scene, but owning it — and drawing every eye their way. Years later, will the moment of their entrance be remembered as the start of something big? Only if the display of star power is backed by a demonstration of staying power. With its piercing headlamps, muscular shoulders and tautly arched roofline, the CLS‑Class is an instant and scintillating standout, even amid the galaxy of cars that share the famed emblem in its broad grille. But while countless cars have rushed to emulate its sweeping profile, few can duplicate the depth of its engineering, or catch up with its innovative technology in just a few years. Trendsetting style may capture your attention for a moment. What’s below the surface makes the beauty of a Mercedes-Benz not just endearing but enduring. Timelessness is a quality that’s affirmed by looking back. But it’s born by seeing far ahead. CLS 550 shown with Palladium Silver metallic paint, and optional 19" 5‑spoke wheels, PARKTRONIC, and Premium 1 Package. While the ongoing advancement of performance and safety have long been Mercedes -Benz hallmarks, innovative technology has also promoted passenger enjoyment for decades. And yet it always coexists with a respect for the traditions that define luxury leadership. Ambient lighting was first pioneered by Mercedes-Benz to reduce stress and fatigue during nighttime driving. A network of LEDs and fiber optics casts a soothing glow from beneath the handcrafted wood spanning the CLS dashboard. The driver can select any of three hues — cool Polar, warm Solar, and soft Neutral. It’s accompanied by gentle illumination of the footwells and door handles. Exquisite details meld jewellike appearance with functional appeal. The world’s first available active full-LED headlamps reward the driver’s eyes with illumination that’s more like natural daylight. Their beams cleverly adapt to the road ahead — whether straight or winding — when darkness falls. And their distinctive design is eye -catching at any hour. LEDs also enhance both the style and safety of the sweeping taillamps. Sleek, frameless door glass and a profile highly evolved in the wind tunnel put airflow to work to minimize noise, drag, and even soiling of the side windows on a rainy highway. The sloping tail conceals a remarkably cavernous and richly carpeted luggage area. The physics of chemistry. Like any performance coupe, the CLS 550 converts fuel, air and spark into moving you quickly. But through the marvel of Mercedes-Benz engineering, it’s even better at moving you deeply. Every CLS‑Class is motivated by a biturbo V-8 whose advanced engineering can evoke more power and torque from less gasoline. Among its innovative technologies are high-pressure Direct Injection and rapid-multispark ignition, both of which fine-tune their own response in a matter of a millisecond. An ECO Start/Stop system helps save fuel by shutting the engine off when the car is stopped. The 402‑hp V‑8 in the CLS 550 delivers all of its 443 lb ‑ ft of peak torque from 1,600–4,750 rpm, leaving nothing but ultra-low emissions and ultra-high emotions as evidence of its performance. The versatile 7‑ speed automatic transmission offers you complete control of gear changes with both hands on the wheel, thanks to an elegant electronic selector and shift paddles. A dedicated Manual mode is included with either of the two Wheel Package options. Optional 4matic® all - wheel drive heightens your handling confidence in any season. Its 4‑ wheel Electronic Traction System (4‑ETS®) continually redistributes the engine’s power to the wheels with the best grip — even if that’s a single wheel.5 The system adds only 100 lbs, which helps to preserve the car’s admirable fuel economy and natural balance. And since torque is permanently maintained at a 45:55 front/rear split, 4matic is as rewarding in dry corners as it is reassuring in rain and snow. Every CLS 550 is equipped with staggeredwidth wheels. Fitting wider tires at the rear axle helps convert traction into acceleration without sacrificing crisp steering feedback from the front end. Four 5-spoke designs are available: standard 18" alloys, an optional 19" style, and two optional Wheel Packages that include either 18" or 19" AMG® wheels.4 For poised performance, the CLS 550 literally rides on a cushion of air, yet it generates truly gripping response in corners. Its semi-active AIRMATIC® suspension teams adjustable air springs with a two - mode Adaptive Damping System. ADS instantly adjusts each shock absorber every time its nearby wheel changes direction, up or down. Standard 4 ‑wheel level control also draws the car closer to the road at higher speeds — helping to reduce drag and enhance stability. Efficient electromechanical power steering and our Direct-steer system collaborate for quicker cornering response, easier maneuvering and reassuring stability. CLS 550 shown with Steel Grey metallic paint, and optional 4matic all-wheel drive, Premium 1 Package, and Wheel Package Plus One.

More than a crown jewel of racing royalty, it authenticates a philosophy that’s been the driving force behind championship racecars for 46 years. For the high-performance AMG automobiles that carry this motorsports pedigree to the streets of the world, “One man, one engine” is far more than a spiritual legacy. It’s also tangibly evident in the meticulous engineering, proven endurance and superlative performance that three letters — and one signature — certify. The heart of the CLS 63 AMG 4matic is its handcrafted 5.5‑liter biturbo V‑8. Increased output of 550 hp and 531 lb‑ft of torque reduce its 0–60-mph dash to a swift 3.7 seconds.2 A new CLS 63 AMG S‑Model 4matic increases fuel injection pressure and turbo boost for even more staggering results: 577 hp, 590 lb-ft, and a blinding 3.6 seconds to 60 mph.2 The 7‑speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT® MCT transmission incorporates a wet startup clutch. A paddle-shifted Manual mode offers 100-millisecond upshifts, while its rev-matched downshifts are met with a snarl of the growling exhaust. From the console, the AMG DRIVE UNIT lets you choose among four modes for the transmission, three for the suspension, and three for the ESP.® You can also store a favorite setup and recall it via a single button bearing the AMG logo. AMG has developed a new version of 4matic® that obliterates every notion concerning the performance potential of all-wheel drive. A 33:67 front/rear torque split — plus a Torque Vectoring Brake feature in the S‑Model’s ESP Sport handling mode — help to prevent unwanted understeer, while preserving agility and driving fun. The exclusive AMG suspension setup features steel front springs and rear air springs, along with three driver-selectable modes. Staggered 19" AMG® alloy wheels4 offer an enticing peek at the massive, multipiston AMG brakes. Among the wheel options is an even lighter, forged-alloy 19" design. The S‑Model is distinguished by Titanium Silver 10‑spoke wheels, red brake calipers, a racing-inspired steering wheel with Alcantara® side grips, and numerous exterior styling details. CLS 550 shown with Iridium Silver metallic paint, and optional 4matic all-wheel drive, PARKTRONIC, and Premium 1 Package. The insight to change the outcome. For more than 60 years, Mercedes -Benz safety engineers have been focused on the future. With countless breakthroughs from the first crumple zone to the newest driver assistance systems, they’ve predicted numerous safety standards that all cars have come to follow. More importantly, every pioneering innovation they introduce to the world serves to better protect your future — even the part that’s mere milliseconds in front of you. Perhaps no one has done more to change the course of automotive history — or help preserve the course of your own. Added vision in the dark of night. Reveal, prepare, react. Far more than a list of groundbreaking safety innovations, a Mercedes-Benz is engineered as an integrated system that’s designed to help you detect, avoid and survive a collision like no other car. Pioneers of accident avoidance. Cruise control that slows, stops and goes. First introduced by Mercedes-Benz, two systems to help you avoid potential collisions have since been adopted by virtually every automaker. The Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) monitors the car’s response to driving inputs such as steering and braking, and responds when needed to help keep the car on course.5 Brake Assist (BAS®) can instantly maximize braking pressure if it detects an emergency braking situation — potentially shortening your overall stopping distance.7 Optional DISTRONIC PLUS® adaptive cruise control is also a Mercedes -Benz innovation. Using radar-based technology, it can adapt your set speed in response to the flow of traffic ahead — automatically slowing until your path is clear again. If the vehicle ahead slows to a stop, DISTRONIC PLUS can brake to a full halt, then resume automatically when traffic starts going.9 Brakes that boost confidence and comfort. The 4‑wheel disc brakes integrate technology to help make driving more reassuring and relaxing. If you lift off the accelerator quickly, Predictive Brake Priming sets the pads closer to the discs for quicker response when you apply the brakes. In the rain, Automatic Brake Drying periodically applies the brakes just enough to sweep away water buildup on the discs. During uphill starts, Hill-Start Assist helps to prevent unwanted rollback. And a brake HOLD feature can help to make driving in stop-and-go traffic less stressful.7 Protection that starts before a collision. Another Mercedes -Benz first, PRE‑SAFE® can help detect instability during certain vehicle maneuvers that suggest that a collision or rollover is imminent. It can then tighten the front seat belts, adjust the front passenger seat, and close the windows and sunroof — all in an effort to better prepare the occupants and restraint systems in the moments before a collision.8 During nighttime driving, optional Night View Assist PLUS projects infrared beams that are invisible to the eye, and then reads them with a special camera. The system displays a clearer, supplemental real-time view of the road ahead on the large screen that’s positioned high in the dash. Its advanced technology can also help identify and point out pedestrians along a dark roadway.12 An alert, and action, for stopped traffic. Included with DISTRONIC PLUS, PRE‑SAFE Brake can help to detect an impending collision with a vehicle ahead. Even if you’re not using cruise control, it can sound an alert and automatically apply up to 100% of the car’s braking force to help reduce the severity of impact.7 A network of advanced restraints. Ten standard air bags offer 12-way protection.10 Knee air bags, pelvic air bags and side-impact air bags are provided for each front seat. Side curtain air bags add protection at all four seating positions. In a rear impact, NECK‑PRO® active front head restraints help to reduce whiplash. Help when you need it most. The standard Mercedes-Benz mbrace® system11 includes Automatic Collision Notification, which places a call for help if an air bag or seat-belt Emergency Tensioning Device is activated. Your car even transmits its location, model and color information. The CLS also activates its emergency flashers, unlocks the doors and turns on some interior lights to assist rescuers. Industry-leading lighting. The world’s first full-LED active headlamps, part of the Premium 1 Package, generate light that’s even closer to natural daylight than the standard Bi ‑Xenon lamps. Active Curve Illumination and Adaptive Highbeam Assist continuously vary the beam pattern of the LED headlamps, to maximize illumination of corners and straightaways without creating glare for other drivers. LED Daytime Running Lamps and LED taillamps are also included as standard equipment. A watchful eye to remind you when’s it time for a rest. By continually monitoring a variety of driving behaviors, ATTENTION ASSIST® is a Mercedes -Benz innovation that can alert you if it detects signs of drowsiness on long trips. More than 70 variables are measured, starting in the first minutes of each drive, to establish a pattern and determine the warning thresholds accordingly.13 A preview of what’s behind you. For added safety when backing up, an optional rear view camera shows a live view of the area behind your CLS on the large central in-dash screen.14 Steering-dependent active on‑screen guidelines help you back into a parking space. Mindful assistance on multi-lane roadways. Please see endnotes on back cover. Optional Blind Spot Assist can alert you to some unseen vehicles in the adjacent lane.15 Optional Lane Keeping Assist can warn you of unintended drifting across visible lane markings.13 Both systems are also available with advanced active technology that can selectively apply the brakes at individual wheels, to help guide the car back into its own lane if you disregard the alerts. The elegant simplicity of sophistication. The objective of technology is not to make us into superhumans or even supercomputers, but to unite new capabilities with known human nature. The driver of a CLS is presented with an abundance of advanced features that have been engineered not just thoroughly but thoughtfully. By replacing complexity with convenience, and challenge with easiness, freedom of choice can actually feel freeing. In the CLS cockpit, your hand falls naturally to every control. Its displays read at a glance. And its voice control can learn the way you talk. The CLS may look like a work of art, but it works like a masterpiece of simplicity. Responds to your fingertips, and your voice. Navigates the city, or searches the Internet. The COMAND® system brings together a wide world of entertainment, navigation, information and vehicle personalization. It’s all easily accessible via a convenient central controller on the console, a multifunction steering wheel, and two vivid color screens — one high in the center dash, and one right in front of you. Standard Enhanced Voice Control lets you operate many features by speaking in your everyday voice. Entering a street address is as easy as saying it like you’d read it on an envelope. Standard navigation19 features a fast 80GB hard drive, 3D maps with building profiles, and optimal lane guidance as you approach the next turn. Six months of SiriusXM Traffic and Weather are also included.16 The Cloud-based apps of MercedesBenz mbrace2™ bring the Internet directly to your dash, so you can search from your car, computer or smartphone, and be on your way with a few clicks.12 Surrounds you in the sounds you love. A 14‑speaker harman/kardon LOGIC7 ® system outputs 610 watts of Dolby ® Digital 5.1 surround sound. Your listening choices are virtually limitless. Tune in HD Radio™ stations, or SiriusXM Radio with six months of service.16 Bring your own tunes on CD, audio DVD, or SD card. Play your iPod® or MP3 device via the Media Interface,17 AUX input, USB port, or wireless Bluetooth® audio streaming.18 The standard Music Register will even store up to 10GB of your own music files on the in-dash hard drive. Takes to the road without touching the key. The Premium 1 Package adds innovations to help speed your departure and arrival. KEYLESS‑GO® lets you unlock and drive your CLS without taking the key from your pocket. The electronic trunk closer can fully open or close the trunklid at the touch of a button, to ease loading when your arms are full. Parks like you have your own valet. Optional Active Parking Assist surveys parallelparking spots as you drive by and tells you which one’s a good fit. When you’re ready to back in, the system expertly handles the steering while you simply manage the pedals. PARKTRONIC alerts you to nearby obstacles via audiovisual indicators. CLS 550 shown with Almond/Mocha leather, Burl Walnut wood trim, and optional PARKTRONIC, wood/leather steering wheel, and Premium 1 Package. Please see endnotes on back cover. The magic to make it a coupe. A coupe is not defined by the absence of doors, but by the presence of character. Before the CLS‑ Class became the world’s first four- door coupe, it first had to be a Mercedes-Benz coupe — gracefully confident in its style and in its stride. And graced with an impeccably tailored four-seat cabin. While its self-assured demeanor is most evident to its driver, a CLS has a way of making each of its inhabitants feel equally at ease, and at one with the pleasures of motoring. With a flourish of hand-polished wood, a full-length console affords each occupant an individual comfort zone. Every seat is hand-fitted in supple, finely top- stitched leather, and contoured to embrace its sole occupant. Each artful detail is orchestrated to please the senses — from the analog timepiece whose design recalls the classic Mercedes-Benz coupes of past, to the well-being imparted by the glow of fiber-optic ambient lighting. The result is a magical feeling that can be shared by everyone aboard, but with no other car. Memorable comfort, thoughtful support. Individual attention, unanimous pleasure. Responsive, and rewarding, to your touch. A deep tradition, reflected in every surface. The front seats power-adjust 14 ways, including 4-way lumbar support. The 3-position memory recalls your favorite settings, and stores the driver’s power steering column and side mirror positions. In addition to the standard 3-stage heating, the Premium 1 Package adds Active Ventilated front seats, to elevate your comfort in any season. An available active multicontour driver seat lets you precisely tune the lumbar, shoulder and thigh supports. The seat can also increase lateral support during cornering maneuvers, and offer your lower back a gentle or invigorating massage upon your request. Dual-zone climate control monitors humidity, sunlight and incoming air quality, with filtration of dust, pollen and even odors. For rear-cabin passengers, the center console offers twin adjustable air vents, dual cupholders, and a folding armrest. Its twin storage compartments feature sliding rolltop covers, each elegantly crafted from a single piece of wood that’s laser-cut to preserve its grain pattern. Available split-folding rear seatbacks (standard on both of the AMG models) let you further expand the spacious cargo area anytime you need to. Inviting, carefully stitched Nappa leather and matte chrome trim the 3‑spoke steering wheel. Multifunction controls and prominent thumb grips enhance your sense of command — as does 4‑way power adjustment. A sport steering wheel is part of both optional Wheel Packages. It features perforated leather side grips and a performance-oriented flat-bottom design. You can also opt for the visual warmth of a steering wheel trimmed in hand-finished wood to match the car’s cabin trim. Or treat your hands to the actual warmth of an electrically heated wheel.20 Expert tailoring to your exquisite taste is a longheld Mercedes-Benz coupe tradition. Supple, richly grained leather is fitted by hand to each seat. Smooth, butter-soft semi-aniline leather is standard on the AMG models, and an indulgent CLS 550 option. An abundance of wood trim is hand-polished to a rich glow. The CLS 550 offers a choice of warm Burl Walnut, dramatic Black Ash, or new low-sheen Light Satin Poplar. The AMG models add two more exotic finishes: Genuine carbon fiber asserts the car’s racing pedigree. Or you can choose deep Piano Black Lacquer, created by the same process that’s used for the finest concert instruments. CLS 550 shown with optional Black Nappa leather, Black Ash wood trim, and optional Premium 1 Package.

To appreciate the way a CLS‑Class is finished, you have to look at where it starts. Certainly there are faster, easier ways to build an automobile than fitting its upholstery and polishing its wood trim by hand. And there are finishes whose luster seems nearly as deep as the ceramic-infused nanotechnology paintwork pioneered by Mercedes-Benz. What you see on the surface of a Mercedes-Benz reflects something far deeper: a tradition of extraordinary craftsmanship, and a belief that timeless design and lasting performance deserve an equally enduring showcase. Individually chosen, exquisitely crafted.

For more than 125 years — longer than any other automaker — we’ve been sharing this planet with you. And for generations, Mercedes -Benz has been breaking new ground to help preserve the earth for future generations. We introduced the world’s first 100% CFC-free car, not just in its air conditioning but in its entire production process. We’ve used water-borne paint since the 1990s. And our interiors have long used steam-expanded foam, sustainably forested wood, and natural products from coconut, flax and even olives. We’ve been pioneering advanced powertrains for generations, leading not just to today’s Direct Injection gasoline, clean diesel and hybrid models, but to the electric and fuel cell vehicles of a tomorrow that’s already here. Mercedes-Benz is also legendary for making cars of exceptional durability. After all, it takes about the same energy to build a car that lasts as one that won’t. And along with award-winning factories and processes, we’re helping to develop local infrastructures around the world to help bring a greener future to life. Like every aspect of Mercedes-Benz innovation, today’s work sets the stage for the mobility — and the planet — that everyone will enjoy tomorrow.

Stated rates of acceleration are estimated based upon manufacturer’s track results and may vary depending on model, environmental and road surface conditions, driving style, elevation and vehicle load. 2014 EPA estimated fuel economy figures unavailable at time of printing. Please see your dealer. Compare the estimated mpg to the estimated mpg of other vehicles. You may get different mileage depending on how fast you drive, weather conditions and trip length. Your actual highway mileage will probably be less than the highway estimate. Comparative claims based on 2013 estimates. Lower aspect ratio tires and accompanying wheels provide substantially increased treadwear, increased tire noise and reduced ride comfort. Serious wheel and tire damage may occur if the vehicle is operated on rough or damaged road surfaces or upon encountering road debris or obstacles. These tires are not designed for use on snow and ice. Winter tires mounted on appropriately sized and approved wheels are recommended for driving in those conditions. No system, regardless of how advanced, can overcome the laws of physics or correct careless driving. Please always wear your seat belt. Performance is limited by available traction, which snow, ice and other conditions can affect. Always drive carefully, consistent with conditions. Best performance in snow is obtained with winter tires. Obey local speed and traffic laws. Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake maintenance, and tire and road conditions. PRE-SAFE ® closes the windows and sunroof when the system’s sensors detect side movement that suggests a possible rollover or side impact. DISTRONIC PLUS® adaptive cruise control is no substitute for active driving involvement. It does not react to stationary objects, nor recognize or predict the curvature and lane layout of the road or the movement of vehicles ahead. It is the driver’s responsibility at all times to be attentive to traffic and road conditions, and to provide the steering, braking and other driving inputs necessary to retain control of the vehicle. Drivers are cautioned not to wait for the DISTRONIC Proximity Warning System before braking, as that may not afford sufficient time and distance to brake safely. After braking the car for stopped traffic ahead, system resumes automatically only if traffic pauses for less than 3 seconds. WARNING: THE FORCES OF A DEPLOYING AIR BAG CAN CAUSE SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES TO A CHILD UNDER AGE 13. THE SAFEST SEATING POSITION FOR YOUR CHILD IS IN THE REAR SEAT, BELTED INTO AN APPROPRIATE, PROPERLY INSTALLED CHILD SEAT, OR CORRECTLY WEARING A SEAT BELT IF TOO LARGE FOR A CHILD SEAT. SEE OPERATOR’S MANUAL FOR ADDITIONAL WARNINGS AND INFORMATION ON AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS AND CHILD SEATS.

ATTENTION ASSIST® and/or Lane Keeping Assist may be insufficient to alert a fatigued or distracted driver of lane drift and cannot be relied on to avoid an accident or serious injury. Lane Keeping Assist operates at speeds above approximately 20 mph. Rear view camera does not audibly notify driver of nearby objects and is not a substitute for actively checking around the vehicle for any obstacles or people. Images displayed may be limited by camera field of view, weather, lighting conditions and the presence of dirt, ice or snow on the camera. Blind Spot Assist may not be sufficient to avoid all accidents involving vehicles in your blind spot and does not estimate the speed of approaching vehicles.
