Driving and operating195Special conditions apply if there
are taller vehicles involved (e.g.
off-road vehicles, mini vans,
vans). Object identification in the upper part of these vehicles
cannot be guaranteed.
Objects with a very small reflection
cross section, like objects of
narrow size or soft materials, may
not be detected by the system.
Parking assist will not detect
objects out of the detection range.
Notice
The parking assist system
automatically detects factory-fitted
towing equipment. It is deactivated
when the connector is plugged in.
It is possible that the sensor detects
a non-existing object (echo
disturbance) caused by external
acoustical or mechanic
disturbances.
Advanced parking assist system
may not respond to changes in the
parking space after initiating a
parallel parking manoeuvre.
Notice
Before using the advanced parking
assist the first time, the vehicle has
to be driven at least for 25 miles to
calibrate the system automatically.
Side blind spot alert
The side blind spot alert system
detects and reports objects on either
side of the vehicle, within a specified
"blind spot" zone. The system alerts visually in each exterior mirror, when
detecting objects that may not be
visible in the interior and exterior
mirrors.
The system's sensors are located in
the bumper on the left and right side
of the vehicle.9 Warning
Side blind spot alert does not
replace driver vision.
The system does not detect: ■ Vehicles outside the side blind zones which may be rapidly
approaching.
■ Pedestrians, cyclists or animals.
Before changing a lane, always
check all mirrors, look over the
shoulder and use the turn signal.
When the system detects a vehicle in the side blind zone while driving
forward, either while passing a
vehicle or being passed, an amber warning symbol B will illuminate in
the relevant exterior mirror. If the
driver then activates the turn signal,
the warning symbol B starts flashing
amber as a warning not to change
lanes.

Combinations of more signs in the
display are possible.
An exclamation mark in a frame
indicates that there is an additional
sign detected which cannot be
recognised by the system.
The system is active up to a speed of
124 mph depending on the lighting
conditions. At night the system is
active up to a speed of 99 mph.
As soon as the speed becomes
slower than 34 mph the display will be reset and the content of the traffic sign
page will be cleared, e.g. when
entering a city zone. The next
recognized speed indication will be
displayed.Display indication
Traffic signs are displayed on the
page Traffic sign detection on the
Driver Information Centre, chosen via the adjuster wheel on the turn signal
lever 3 114.
When another function on the Driver
Information Centre menu was
selected and then Traffic sign
detection page is chosen again, the
last recognised traffic sign will be displayed.
After the traffic sign page is cleared
by the system, the following symbol is
indicated:

FaultThe traffic sign assistant system may
not operate correctly when:
■ the area of the windscreen, where the front camera is located, is not
clean
■ traffic signs are completely or partially covered or difficult to
discern
■ there are adverse environmental conditions, e.g. heavy rain, snow,
direct sunlight or shadows. In this
case No Traffic Sign Detection due
to Weather is indicated on the
display
■ traffic signs are incorrectly mounted
or damaged
■ traffic signs do not comply with the Vienna Convention on traffic signs
(Wiener Übereinkommen über
Straßenverkehrszeichen)Caution
The system is intended to help the driver within a defined speed
range to discern certain traffic
signs. Do not ignore traffic signs
which are not displayed by the
system.
The system does not discern any other than the conventional traffic
signs that might give or end a
speed limit.
Do not let this special feature
tempt you into taking risks when
driving.
Always adapt speed to the road
conditions.
The driver assistance systems do not relieve the driver from full
responsibility for vehicle
operation.
Lane departure warning
The lane departure warning systemobserves the lane markings between
which the vehicle is driving via a front camera. The system detects lane
changes and warns the driver in the
event of an unintended lane change
via visual and acoustic signals.
Criteria for the detection of an
unintended lane change are:
■ no operation of turn signals
■ no brake pedal operation
■ no active accelerator operation or speeding-up
■ no active steering
If the driver is active, no warning will
be issued.
Activation
The lane departure warning system is activated by pressing the ) button.
The illuminated LED in the button
indicates that the system is switched
