Optimal sound reproductionThe audio system is calibrated for optimal
sound reproduction using digital signal pro-
cessing.
This calibration takes into account factors such
as the speakers, amplifier, cabin acoustics, the
listeners' seating positions, etc., for each com-
bination of vehicle/audio system.There is also a dynamic calibration that takes
into consideration the volume level, radio
reception, and the speed of the vehicle.

support is activated. Brake support prepares
the brake system to react quickly, and the
brakes are applied slightly. This may be expe-
rienced as a light tug.
If the brakes are applied quickly, full braking
effect will be provided, even if pressure on the
brake pedal is light.
Auto-brakeIf a collision is imminent and the driver has not
applied the brakes, the auto-brake function is
activated without the driver pressing the brake
pedal. Limited brake force is applied to reduce
the vehicle’s speed when the collision occurs.
WARNING
The auto-brake function cannot prevent a
collision but instead is intended to reduce
speed at the moment of impact. For full
braking effect, driver must apply the brakes.
NOTE
The auto-brake function is always on and
cannot be turned off.
Operation
Some settings are controlled from the center
console via a menu system. For information on
how the menu system is used, see page 120.
On and offTo switch Collision Warning on or off, go into
the menu Car settings

settings and select On or Off. When the engine
is started, the setting that was selected when
it was switched off will be used.
Activating/deactivating warning signalsThe collision warning system’s audible and vis-
ual signals are activated automatically when
the engine is started if the collision warning
system is activated.
The audible warning signal can be activated/
deactivated by selecting the alternative

Warning sound.
Setting a warning distanceThis setting determines the distance at which
the visual and audible warnings are triggered.

settings
Collision warning settings
Warning distance
The warning distance determines the level of
sensitivity used by the system. The warning
distance
Long provides an earlier warning.
Begin by using Long and if the system gives
too many warnings, try changing to
Normal.
WARNING
•The setting Short should only be used
in situations where traffic is light and
moving at low speeds.
•Collision Warning alerts the driver to the
risk of a collision but this function can-
not reduce the driver’s reaction time.
•For Collision Warning to be as effective
as possible, it is recommended that Dis-
tance Alert be set to 4 or 5, see
page 172.
NOTE
•When adaptive cruise control is used,
the warning light and signal will be used
by cruise control, even if they have been
deactivated by the driver.
•In situations where traffic is moving at
considerably different speeds, or if the
vehicle ahead brakes suddenly, warn-
ings may be considered to be late, even
if the setting
Long has been selected.
Checking settingsThe current Collision Warning settings can be
checked by going into the menu system at Car
settings
Collision warning settings. See
page 120 for more information on the menu
system.

not detect other vehicles, for example in
heavy rain, or if snow or other objects are
obscuring the radar sensor.
NOTE
Keep the area in front of the radar sensor
clean.
•if the speed of vehicles ahead is signifi-
cantly different from your own speed.
WARNING
The radar sensor has a limited field of vision.
In some situations it may detect a vehicle
later than expected or not detect vehicles at
all.
G021414
Radar sensor field of vision (gray)
In certain situations, the radar sensor can-
not detect vehicles at close quarters, for
example a vehicle that suddenly enters thelanes between your vehicle and the one
that the system has already detected.
Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, or
vehicles not driving in the center of the lane
may remain undetected.
In curves, the radar sensor may detect the
wrong vehicle or lose a detected vehicle
from view.
Fault tracing and actions
If the message Radar blocked See manual is
displayed, this means that the radar signals
from the sensor have been obstructed and that
a vehicle ahead cannot be detected.
This, in turn, means that the functions of the
ACC, Distance Alert, and Collision Warning
System with Auto-brake will not function.
The table lists possible causes for this mes-
sage being displayed, and suitable actions.
CauseAction
The surface of the radar in the grille is dirty or obstructed in some way.Clean the radar surface, or remove the object causing the obstruction.
Heavy rain or snow is interfering with the radar signals.No action possible. Heavy precipitation may affect the function of the
radar.
