Collision warning * – function
Function overview
Audio-visual warning signals, collision risk
Radar sensor
Camera
Collision WarningThe radar sensor and the camera work together to detect a pedestrian, a cyclist, stationary vehi-cles and vehicles that are moving in the samedirection as your vehicle. If there is a risk of colli-sion with a vehicle, a cyclist or a pedestrian, thedriver is alerted by a flashing red warning lightand an audible warning signal. The system isactive at speeds above 3 mph (4 km/h).
Brake SupportIf the risk of collision continues to increase afterthe collision warning has been given, Brake Sup-port is activated. Brake Support prepares thebrake system to react quickly, and the brakes areapplied slightly. This may be experienced as alight tug. If the brakes are applied quickly, full braking effect will be provided. Brake Support alsoincreases brake force if the system determinesthat the driver has not applied adequate pressureon the brake pedal.
Auto-brakeIf a collision is imminent and the driver has notapplied the brakes or begun to steer around thevehicle, pedestrian or a cyclist, the auto-brakefunction is activated without the driver pressingthe brake pedal. Full brake force is applied tohelp reduce the vehicle

Collision Warning. If Pedestrian
and Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake is on, the system will perform a self-test each time theengine is started by briefly illuminating the warn-ing light. See My Car – introduction (p. 77) for adescription of the menu system. When the engine is switched on, the system set- ting that was being used when it was switchedoff will be the default setting.
NOTE
The auto-brake and pedestrian/cyclist detec- tion features are always on, even if the audi-ble and visual warning signals have beendeactivated.
Activating/deactivating the audible warning signal only
The audible warning signal can be activated/ deactivated by pressing MY CAR on the center
console control panel and going to

distance.
The warning distance determines the level of sensitivity used by the system. The warning dis- tance
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 mov- ing at low speeds.
• Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with FullAuto Brake alerts the driver to the risk ofa collision but this function cannot reducethe driver

•
The camera's function is deactivated and will not detect a cyclist in darkness or in tunnels,even if there is street lighting in the area.
• For optimal cyclist detection, City Safety
™
must be activated.
WARNING
Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake is designed to be a supplemen-tary driving aid. It is not, however, intended toreplace the driver's attention and judgement.The driver is always responsible for operatingthe vehicle in a safe manner. The system cannot detect a bike/cyclist if:
• He/she is wearing loose-fitting clothing that may obscure body contours
• The bike is approaching your vehicle fromthe side
• The bike is not equipped with a rear-fac-ing red reflector
• The bike is carrying large objects
• Most of the cyclist's body or the bikeitself cannot be "seen" by the system'scamera

detection
The system cannot identify all pedestrians
The Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake system can only identify and detect apedestrian who is standing upright. This personcan be standing still, walking or running. This means that the system has to be able to identify a person's head, arms, shoulders, legs,the upper and lower parts of the body and a per-son's pattern of movement when walking or run-ning. If parts of the body are not visible to the camera, the system cannot detect the pedestrian. The following conditions apply:
• In order to detect a pedestrian, the system must have a full view of the person's entire

214 body and the person must be at least 32 in. (80 cm) tall.
• The system cannot detect a pedestrian carry-ing a large object.
• The camera's capacity to see a pedestrian atdawn or dusk is limited, much as it is for thehuman eye.
• The camera's function is deactivated and willnot detect a pedestrian in darkness or in tun-nels, even if there is street lighting in thearea.

•Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake is designed to be a supple-mentary driving aid. It is not, however,intended to replace the driver's attentionand judgement. The driver is alwaysresponsible for operating the vehicle in asafe manner.
• The system cannot detect all pedestriansin all situations, such as in darkness/atnight and cannot detect partially hiddenpedestrians, people who are less thanapprox. 32 in. (80 cm) tall, or peoplewearing clothing that obscures the con-tours of their bodies.

Collision warning
* – limitations
Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light con- trasts, the use of sunglasses, or if the driver is notlooking straight ahead may make the visual warn-ing signal in the windshield difficult to see. Forthis reason, always activate the audible warningsignal. Slippery driving conditions increase braking dis- tance, which can reduce the system's capacity toavoid a collision. In these conditions, the ABS andstability systems provide the best possible brak-ing effect while helping to maintain stability.
NOTE
The visual warning signal may be temporarily disengaged in the event of high passengercompartment temperature due to strong sun-light, etc. If this occurs, the audible warningsignal will be used, even if it has been deacti-vated in the menu system.

Front park assist
The distance monitored in front of the vehicle is approximately 2.5 ft (0.8 m). The audible signalcomes from the audio system's front speakers. It may not be possible to combine auxiliary head- lights and front park assist since these lightscould trigger the system's sensors.
NOTE
Front park assist is deactivated when the parking brake is applied and or when the gear selector is in the P position.

Cleaning the sensorsThe sensors must be cleaned regularly to ensure that they work properly. Clean them with waterand a suitable car washing detergent.
Location of the front sensors
Location of the rear sensors
Ice and snow covering the sensors may cause incorrect warning signals.
NOTE
If the sensors are obstructed by e.g., dirt, snow, or ice, this could result in false warningsignals from the park assist system or thesystem may not function at all.

STARTING AND DRIVING

WARNING
•Always remove the remote key from the ignition slot when leaving the vehicle and ensure that the ignition in mode
0 (see
Ignition modes (p. 80) for information about the ignition modes).
• On vehicles with the optional keylessdrive, never remove the remote key fromthe vehicle while it is being driven ortowed.
• Always place the gear selector in Parkand apply the parking brake before leav-ing the vehicle. Never leave the vehicleunattended with the engine running.
• Always open garage doors fully beforestarting the engine inside a garage toensure adequate ventilation. The exhaustgases contain carbon monoxide, which isinvisible and odorless but very poisonous.
NOTE
•After a cold start, idle speed may be noticeably higher than normal for a shortperiod. This is done to help bring compo-nents in the emission control system totheir normal operating temperature asquickly as possible, which enables themto control emissions and help reduce the vehicle's impact on the environment 3
.
CAUTION
• When starting in cold weather, the auto- matic transmission may shift up at slightlyhigher engine speeds than normal untilthe automatic transmission fluid reachesnormal operating temperature.
• Do not race a cold engine immediatelyafter starting. Oil flow may not reachsome lubrication points fast enough toprevent engine damage.
• The engine should be idling when youmove the gear selector. Never accelerateuntil after you feel the transmissionengage. Accelerating immediately afterselecting a gear will cause harsh engage-ment and premature transmission wear.
• Selecting
P or N when idling at a stand-
still for prolonged periods of time will helpprevent overheating of the automatictransmission fluid.

Connecting the jumper cables
If the 12-volt auxiliary battery to be used is in another vehicle, check that the vehicles are nottouching to prevent premature completion of acircuit. Be sure to follow jump starting instruc-tions provided for the other vehicle. To jump start your vehicle:
1. Switch off the ignition (set the ignition to mode 0, see Ignition modes (p. 80)).
2. First connect the red jumper cable to the auxiliary battery's positive (+) terminal (1).
