Collision Warning & Pedestrian Detection with Auto Brake*
04
190* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Activating/deactivating warning signalsThe warning lamp is activated automatically
when the engine is started if the system is
switched on.
The warning sound can be activated/deacti-
vated separately using the options for
On orOff in the menu system MY CAR under
Settings
Car settingsDriver support
systems
Warning sound if risk of
collision.
Set warning distanceThe warning distance regulates the distance at
which the visual and acoustic warnings are
deployed. Select one of the options from
Long, Normal or Short in the menu system
MY CAR under Settings
Car settings
Driver support systemsCollision
Warning
Warning distance.
The warning distance determines the system's
sensitivity. Warning distance
Long provides an
earlier warning. First test with Long and if this
setting produces too many warnings, which
could be perceived as irritating in certain sit-
uations, then change to warning distance
Normal.
Only use warning distance
Short in excep-
tional cases, e.g. for dynamic driving.
NOTE
When the adaptive cruise control is in use
the warning lamp and warning sound will be
used by the cruise control even if the colli-
sion warning system is switched off.
The collision warning system warns the
driver in the event of a risk of a collision, but
the function cannot shorten driver reaction
time.
In order for the collision warning system to
be effective, always drive with the Distance
Alert set at time interval 4 – 5. see
page 181.
NOTE
Even if the warning distance has been set toLong then in certain situations warnings
could be perceived as being late. E.g. in the
event of large differences in speed or if vehi-
cles in front brake heavily.
Checking settingsThe settings required can be controlled on the
centre console display screen. Search with the
menu system MY CAR under Settings
Car
settings
Driver support systems
Collision Warning, see page 142.
Limitations
The collision warning system is active from and
including approx. 4 km/h.
The visual warning signal may be difficult to
notice in the event of strong sunlight, reflec-
tions, when sunglasses are being worn or if the
driver is not looking straight ahead. The warn-
ing sound should therefore always be acti-
vated.
On slippery road surfaces the braking distance
is extended, which may reduce the capacity to
avoid a collision. In such situations the ABS
and DSTC systems will provide best possible
braking force with maintained stability.
NOTE
The visual warning signal can be temporarily
disengaged in the event of high passenger
compartment temperature caused by
strong sunlight for example. If this occurs
then the warning sound is activated even if
it is deactivated in the menu system.
•Warnings may not appear if the dis-
tance to the vehicle in front is small or if
steering wheel and pedal movements
are large, e.g. a very active driving style.

Park assist camera*
04
204* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
General
The parking camera is an assist system and is
activated when reverse gear is engaged (can
be changed in the settings menu, see
page 142).
The camera image is shown on the centre con-
sole's screen.
WARNING
•The parking camera serves as an aid. It
does not relieve the driver of responsi-
bility when reversing.
•The camera has blind spots, where
obstacles cannot be detected.
•Be aware of people and animals in the
vicinity of the car.
CAM button location.
The camera shows what is behind the car and
if something appears from the sides.
The camera shows a wide area behind the car
and part of the bumper and any towbar.
Objects on the screen may appear to tilt slightly
- this is normal.
NOTE
Objects on the display screen may be closer
to the car than they appear to be on the
screen.
If another view is active the parking camera
system takes over automatically and the cam-
era image is displayed on the screen.When reverse gear is engaged two unbroken
lines are shown graphically which illustrate
where the car's rear wheels will roll with the
current steering wheel angle, this facilitates
tight parking, reversing into tight spaces and
for hitching a trailer. The car's approximate
exterior dimensions are also illustrated by two
dashed lines, the park assist lines can be deac-
tivated in the settings menu.
If the car is also equipped with parking assis-
tance sensors* then their information is dis-
played graphically as coloured fields in order to
illustrate the distance to detected obstacles,
see page 206.
The camera is active approx. 5 seconds after
reverse gear has been disengaged or until the
car's speed exceeds 10 km/h.

Park assist camera*

206* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
ZoomThe camera can be used to advantage when
hitching a trailer.
•The towbar can be zoomed in for precision
manoeuvring with one press on CAM.
Pressing again gives normal view.
In zoomed-in view a park assist line for the
towbar's intended route to the trailer can be
seen on the display screen (exactly as for
"wheel tracks").
The towbar's park assist line is activated in the
menu system MY CAR where a selection can
be made between displaying the "wheel
tracks" or towbar line - both options cannot be
displayed simultaneously.
Cars with reversing sensors*
Coloured areas (x 4, one per sensor) show dis-
tance.
If the car is also equipped with parking assis-
tance sensors (see page 201) the distance indi-
cation will be more precise and the coloured
areas show which of the 4 sensors is/are reg-
istering an obstacle.
The colour of the areas changes with decreas-
ing distance to the obstacle - from yellow to
orange to red.
Colour / paintDistance

SettingsPress OK/MENU when a camera view is
shown. Make the settings as desired.
Miscellaneous
•The default setting is that the camera is
activated when reverse gear is engaged.
•One press on CAM activates the camera
even if reverse gear is not engaged.
•Change between normal and zoomed
image by turning TUNE or by pressing
CAM.
•If the car has more cameras* installed then
the camera in use is changed by turning
TUNE.
Limitations
NOTE
A bike carrier or other accessory mounted
on the rear of the car could obscure the
camera's view.
Pay attention to the possibility that, even if it
only looks like a relatively small part of the
image is obscured, it could be a relatively large
sector that is hidden from view. Obstacles
could thereby go undetected until they are very
close to the car.
To bear in mind
•Keep the camera lens free from dirt, ice
and snow.
•Clean the camera lens regularly with luke-
warm water and car shampoo - take care
not to scratch the lens.
