GUIDE LINES
WARNING
•The distance guide line and the vehicle width
line should be used as a reference only when
the vehicle is on a paved, level surface. The
distance viewed on the monitor is for refer-
ence only and may be different than the ac-
tual distance between the vehicle and dis-
played objects.
•Use the displayed lines and the bird-eye view
as a reference. The lines and the bird-eye view
are greatly affected by the number of occu-
pants, fuel level, vehicle position, road condi-
tion and road grade.
•If the tyres are replaced with different sized
tyres, the predictive course line and the bird-
eye view may be displayed incorrectly.
•When driving the vehicle up a hill, objects
viewed in the monitor are further than they
appear. When driving the vehicle down a hill,
objects viewed in the monitor are closer than
they appear. Use the mirrors or actually look
to properly judge distances to other objects.
The vehicle width and predictive course lines are
wider than the actual width and course.

Guiding lines
Guiding lines, which indicate the vehicle width and
distances to objects with reference to the vehicle
body line
jA , are displayed on the monitor.
Distance guide lines:
Indicate distances from the vehicle body.
•Red linej1 : approx. 0.5 m (1.5 ft)
•Yellow linej2 : approx.1m(3ft)
•Green linej3 : approx.2m(7ft)
•Green linej4 : approx. 3 m (10 ft)
Vehicle width guide lines and static predictive
course lines
j5:
Indicate the vehicle width when reversing.
Dynamic predictive course lines
j6:
The dynamic predictive course lines will be dis-
played on the monitor when the steering wheel is
turned. The course lines will move depending onhow much the steering wheel is turned and will not
be displayed while the steering wheel is in the
straight ahead position.
The front view will not be displayed when the vehicle
speed is above approximately 30 km/h (20 MPH).
WARNING
•Objects in the monitor will appear visually op-
posite than when viewed in the rear view and
outside mirrors.
•On a snow-covered or slippery road, there
may be a difference between the predictive
course line and the actual course line.
•The displayed lines on the rear view will ap-
pear slightly off to the right because the rear
view camera is not installed in the rear centre
of the vehicle.
NOTE
When the monitor displays the front view and the
steering wheel turns about 90 degrees or less
from the neutral position, both the right and left
predictive course lines
j6 are displayed. When
the steering wheel turns about 90 degrees or
more, a line is displayed only on the opposite
side of the turn.
Bird-eye view
WARNING
•Objects in the bird-eye view will appear fur-
ther than the actual distance because thebird-eye view is a pseudo view that is pro-
cessed by combining the views from the cam-
eras on the outside mirrors, the front and the
rear of the vehicle.
•Tall objects, such as a kerb or a vehicle, may
be misaligned or not displayed at the seam of
the views.
•Objects that are above the camera cannot be
displayed.
•The view for the bird-eye view may be mis-
aligned when the camera position alters.
•A line on the ground may be misaligned and is
not seen as being straight at the seam of the
views. The misalignment will increase as the
line proceeds away from the vehicle.
The bird-eye view shows the overhead view of the
vehicle, which helps confirm the vehicle position and
the predicted course to a parking space.

MOVING OBJECT DETECTION (MOD)
The Moving Object Detection (MOD) system can
inform the driver of the moving objects surrounding
the vehicle.
The MOD system detects moving objects by using
image processing technology on the image shown
on the Around View Monitor display.
The MOD system operates in the following condi-
tions when the camera view is displayed:
•When the shift lever is in the N (Neutral) position
(XTRONIC and MT models) or P (Park) position
(XTRONIC models) and the vehicle is stopped,
the MOD system detects the moving objects in
the bird-eye view.
•When the shift lever is in the any position other
than R (Reverse) position and the vehicle speed
is above 0 km/h and below approximately 8 km/h
(5 MPH), the MOD system detects moving ob-
jects in the front view.
•When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse) posi-
tion and the vehicle speed is below approximately
8 km/h (5 MPH), the MOD system detects mov-
ing objects in the rear view. The MOD system
will not operate correctly if the back door is open.
The MOD icon will change to blue to show which
view is currently active.
The MOD system does not detect moving objects in
the front-side view. The MOD icon is not displayed
on the screen when in this view.
WARNING
•The MOD system is not a substitute for proper
vehicle operation and is not designed to pre-
vent contact with the objects surrounding the
vehicle. When manoeuvring, always use the
outside mirror and rear view mirror and turn
and check the surroundings to ensure it is
safe to manoeuvre.
•The MOD system does not have the function
to detect the surrounding stationary objects.
*: For the Right-Hand Drive (RHD) model, the screen
layout will be opposite.
When the MOD system detects a moving object
surrounding the vehicle, the yellow frame will be dis-
played on the view where the objects are detected
and a chime will sound once. While the MOD sys-
tem continues to detect moving objects, the yellow
frame continues to be displayed.The yellow frame
j2 is displayed on each view in
the front view, front-wide view, rear view and rear-
wide view modes.
A blue MOD icon is displayed in the view where the
MOD system is operative. A grey MOD icon is dis-
played in the view where the MOD system is not
operative.
WARNING
•Do not use the MOD system when towing a
trailer (if available). The system may not func-
tion properly.
•Excessive noise (for example, audio system
volume or open vehicle window) will interfere
with the chime sound, and it may not be heard.
•The MOD system performance will be limited
according to environmental conditions and
surrounding objects such as:
– When there is low contrast between back-
ground and the moving objects.
– When there is blinking source of light.
– When strong light such as another vehi-
cle’s headlight or sunlight is present.
– When camera orientation is not in its usual
position, such as when mirror is folded.
– When there is dirt, water drops or snow on
the camera lens.
– When the position of the moving objects in
the display is not changed.

During the first 1,600 km (1,000 miles), follow these
recommendations for the future reliability and
economy of your new vehicle. Failure to follow the
recommendations may result in shortened engine
life and reduced engine performance.
•Avoid driving for long periods at a constant
speed, either fast or slow.
•Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear.
•Avoid quick starts.
•Avoid hard braking as much as possible.
•Do not tow a trailer during the first 800 km (500
miles).
NOTE
Models with K9K diesel engine will achieve top
performance only after approximately 5,000 km
(3,000 miles).
WARNING
The driving characteristics of your vehicle can be
changed remarkably by any additional load and
its distribution as well as by adding optional
equipment (trailer couplings, roof racks, etc.).
Your driving style and speed have to be adjusted
accordingly. Especially when carrying heavy
loads, your speed must be reduced adequately.
•Make sure the area around the vehicle is free of
obstacles.
•Check fluid levels such as engine oil, coolant,
brake and clutch fluid, and window washer fluid
as frequently as possible, at least whenever you
refuel.
•Visually inspect tyres for their appearance and
condition. Also check the tyre pressure for
proper inflation.
•Maintenance items in the “8. Maintenance and
do-it-yourself” section should be checked peri-
odically.
•Check that all windows and light lenses are
clean.
•Check that all doors are closed.
•Position the seat and adjust the head restraints.
•Adjust the inside and outside mirrors.
•Fasten your seat belt and ask all passengers to
do likewise.
•Check the operation of the warning/indicator
lights when the ignition switch is turned to the
ON position.
•Do not place hard or heavy objects on the dash-
board or rear parcel shelf in order to prevent
injury in the event of a sudden stop.
RUNNING-IN SCHEDULE BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
5-2Starting and driving

While driving, the Blind Spot Warning (BSW) sys-
tem helps alert the driver to the presence of other
vehicles in adjacent lanes.
The BSW system uses the rear view monitor cam-
era unit
j1.
WARNING
•The BSW system is not a replacement for
proper driving procedure and is not designed
to prevent contact with vehicles or objects.
When driving, always use the side and rear
mirrors and always turn your head and look in
the direction you will move to ensure it is safe
to change lanes. Never rely solely on the BSW
system.
•The camera units may not function properly
under the following conditions:
– When towing a trailer.– When strong light enters the camera unit.
(for example, light directly shines on the
front or rear of the vehicle at sunrise or
sunset.)
– When ambient brightness changes sud-
denly. (for example, when the vehicle en-
ters or exits a tunnel or passes under a
bridge.)
•If the camera lens is excessively dirty, the au-
tomatic washer may not be able to completely
clean the lens. This could result in the camera
not detecting vehicles or lane markers.
•Excessive noise (for example, audio system
volume, open vehicle window) will interfere
with the chime sound, and it may not be heard.
BSW SYSTEM OPERATION
The BSW system operates above approximately 32
km/h (20 MPH).
The BSW light is shown in the vehicle information
display if the Blind Spot Warning system is active.
To switch the system on or off, see the description
later in this section.
When the camera unit detects a vehicle in the de-
tection zone, the Blind Spot Indicator light located in
the front corner of the door window (by the outside

mirrors) will illuminate. If the turn signal is then acti-
vated, the system chimes (twice) and the Blind spot
indicator light will start flashing bright orange to alert
you to the presence of vehicle(s) in the adjacent
lane.
The Blind spot indicator light continues to flash until
the detected vehicle(s) leave the detection zone.
Detection zone
The camera unit can detect vehicles on either side
of your vehicle when part of another vehicle is within
the detection zone shown as illustrated.
This detection zone typically starts from the outside
mirror of your vehicle and extends approximately 3
m (10 ft) behind the rear bumper, and approximately
3 m (10 ft) sideways.
The brightness of the Blind Spot Indicator lights is
adjusted automatically depending on the brightness
of the ambient light.
A chime sounds if the camera unit has already de-
tected vehicles when the driver activates the turnsignal. If a vehicle comes into the detection zone
after the driver activates the turn signal, then only
the Blind Spot Indicator light flashes and no chime
sounds. (See “BSW driving situations” later in this
section.)
Turning the BSW system on or off
Turning the BSW system on or off is done using the
[Settings] menu in the vehicle information display.
For details. see “Vehicle information display” in the
“2. Instruments and controls” section.
In the [Settings] menu, select the [Driver Assistance]
key. Then select [Driving Aids]. Select [Blind Spot
Warning] key by pressing. A tick mark
next to [Blind Spot Warning] indicates that the sys-
tem is turned on.
SYSTEM ON:
The BSW light on the vehicle information display will
light up.
SYSTEM OFF:
The BSW light on the vehicle information display will
turn off.
WARNING
•The camera unit may not be able to detect
when certain objects are present such as:
– Pedestrians, bicycles, animals.
– Vehicles such as motorcycles, low height
vehicles, or high ground clearance
vehicles.
– Oncoming vehicles.– A vehicle approaching rapidly from behind.
(See “BSW driving situations” later in this
section.)
– A vehicle which your vehicle overtakes rap-
idly. (See “BSW driving situations” later in
this section.)
– A vehicle that merges or changes lanes
rapidly directly next to your vehicle.
•The camera unit may not be able to detect
properly when your vehicle travels beside the
middle section of a vehicle with long wheel-
base (for example, trailer truck, semi-trailer,
tractor).
•The camera detection zone is designed based
on a standard lane width. When driving in a
wider lane, the camera unit may not detect
vehicles in an adjacent lane. When driving in a
narrow lane, the camera unit may detect ve-
hicles driving two lanes away.
•The camera unit is designed to ignore most
stationary objects, however objects such as
guardrails, walls, foliage and parked vehicles
may occasionally be detected. This is a nor-
mal operating condition.
•The camera unit may detect the reflected im-
age of vehicles or roadside objects that are
not actually in the detection zone, especially
when the road is wet.

markers are still detectable.
– On roads where there are sharp curves.
– On roads where there are sharply contrast-
ing objects, such as shadows, snow, wa-
ter, wheel ruts, seams or lines remaining
after road repairs. (The LDW system could
detect these items as lane markers.)
– On roads where the travelling lane merges
or separates.
– When the vehicle’s travelling direction
does not align with the lane marker.
– When the road surface is very dark due to
weak ambient light or impaired lamps.
– When rain, snow or dirt adheres to the
windscreen in front of the LDW camera
unit.
•When driving on a curved road, warning will
be late on the outside of the curve.
LDW TEMPORARY DISABLED
