Interior rearview mirror The interior rearview mirror can be dimmed with a control in the mirror's lower edge. Alternatively,the rearview mirror dims automatically.
Control for dimming
Manual dimmingBright light from behind could be reflected in the rearview mirror and dazzle the driver. Use dim-ming with the dimming control when lights frombehind are distracting:
1. Use dimming by moving the control in
towards the passenger compartment.
2. Return to normal mode by moving the control towards the windscreen.
Automatic dimming *Bright light from behind is automatically dimmed by the rearview mirror. The control for manualdimming is not available on mirrors with auto-matic dimming. The rearview mirror contains two sensors - one forward facing and one rearward facing - thatwork together to identify and eliminate dazzlinglight. The forward facing sensor detects ambientlight, while the rearward facing sensor detectsthe light from vehicle headlights behind.
NOTE
If the sensors are obscured by e.g. parking permits, transponders, sun visors or objects inthe seats or in the cargo area in such a waythat light is prevented from reaching the sen-sors, then the dimming function of the interiorrearview and door mirrors is reduced.
Automatic dimming is always active while driving, apart from when gearbox reverse position isselected. Dimming sensitivity can be adjusted inthree levels and will affect the interior rearviewand the door mirrors.
NOTE
When sensitivity is changed there is no imme- diately noticeable change in dimming, but thechange will be complete after a while.

* Option/accessory.299
–Activate the direction indicator. Use the left direction indicator in a car with the steering wheel on the left, or the rightdirection indicator in a car with the steeringwheel on the right.
> Overtaking assistance is started.
LimitationsWhen using Overtaking Assistance the driver should be prepared for sudden changes in condi-tions. In some conditions Overtaking Assistancecan cause unwanted acceleration. Some situations should be avoided for this rea- son. Examples of such situations are:
• the car is approaching an exit road in orderto turn off in the same direction that is nor-mally used for overtaking
• the vehicle in front slows before your car hasentered the overtaking lane
• traffic in the overtaking lane is slowing
• a car designed for right-hand traffic is beingdriven in a country with left-hand traffic (orvice versa).
Situations of this kind can be avoided by tempo-rarily setting ACC or Pilot Assist in standby mode.

Change of target and automatic braking with the Adaptive CruiseControl
In combination with automatic gearbox, the adaptive cruise control (Adaptive Cruise Control- ACC ) has functionality for change of targetand braking at certain speeds.
Change of target
If the target vehicle in front suddenly turns then there may be stationary traffic in front.
When the adaptive cruise control is following another vehicle at speeds below 30 km/h
(20 mph) and the target is changed from a mov- ing vehicle to a stationary vehicle, the adaptivecruise control will brake for the stationary vehicle.
WARNING
When the adaptive cruise control is following another vehicle at speeds in excess of
approx. 30 km/h (20 mph) and the target is changed from a moving vehicle to a stationaryvehicle, the adaptive cruise control will ignorethe stationary vehicle and instead select thestored speed.
• The driver must then intervene him/ herself and brake.
Automatic standby mode with change of target
The adaptive cruise control is disengaged and set in standby mode: • when the speed is below 5 km/h (3 mph) and the adaptive cruise control is uncertainwhether the target object is a stationary vehi-cle or some other object, such as a speedbump.
• when the speed is below 5 km/h (3 mph)and the vehicle ahead turns off so the adap-tive cruise control no longer has a vehicle tofollow.
Automatic brakingFor shorter stops in connection with inching inslow traffic or at traffic lights driving is automati-cally resumed if the stops do not exceed about3 seconds - if it takes longer before the car in

Change of target and automatic braking with Pilot Assist *
In combination with automatic gearbox, Pilot Assist has functionality for change of target and braking at certain speeds.
Change of target
If the target vehicle in front suddenly turns then there may be stationary traffic in front.
When Pilot Assist is following another vehicle at speeds below 30 km/h (20 mph) and changes
target from a moving to a stationary vehicle, Pilot Assist will slow down for the stationary vehicle.
WARNING
When Pilot Assist is following another vehicle at speeds in excess of approx. 30 km/h
(20 mph) and the target is changed from a moving vehicle to a stationary vehicle, PilotAssist will ignore the stationary vehicle andinstead select the stored speed.
• The driver must then intervene him/ herself and brake.
Automatic standby mode with change of target
Pilot Assist is disengaged and set in standby mode: •when the speed is below 5 km/h (3 mph) and Pilot Assist is uncertain whether the tar-get object is a stationary vehicle or someother object, e.g. a speed bump.
• when the speed is below 5 km/h (3 mph)and the vehicle in front turns off so the PilotAssist no longer has a vehicle to follow.
Automatic brakingFor shorter stops in connection with inching for-ward in slow traffic or at traffic lights, driving isautomatically resumed if the stops do not exceedabout 3 seconds - if it takes longer before thecar in front starts moving again then the PilotAssist is set in standby mode with automaticbraking.
–Pilot Assist is reactivated in the following way:
• Press the steering wheel button
.
• Depress the accelerator pedal.
> Pilot Assist resumes following the vehicle ahead if it starts moving forward within 6 seconds.
NOTE
Pilot Assist can hold the car stationary for a maximum of 5 minutes - then the parkingbrake is applied and the function is disen-gaged. Before Pilot Assist can be reactivated, the parking brake must be released.

Auto Brake
The automatic brake function is activated last. If in this situation the driver has not yet started to take evasive action and the risk of collision isimminent then the automatic braking function isdeployed - this takes place irrespective ofwhether or not the driver brakes. Braking thentakes place with full brake force in order toreduce collision speed, or with limited brake forceif it is sufficient to avoid a collision. In connection with automatic braking the seatbelt tensioner may also be activated. For more infor-mation see the "Seatbelt tensioner" section. In some situations, the action of Auto-brake may begin with light braking and then progress to fullbrake action. When City Safety has prevented a collision with a stationary object, the car remains stationary inanticipation of positive action by the driver. If thecar has been braked to avoid collision with aslower vehicle in front, its speed is reduced tomatch that of the vehicle in front.
NOTE
On cars with manual gearbox, the engine stops when the Auto-brake function has stop-ped the car, unless the driver has managed todepress the clutch pedal beforehand.
The driver can always interrupt a braking inter- vention by firmly depressing the acceleratorpedal.
NOTE
When City Safety™ brakes, the brake lights
come on.
When City Safety is activated and brakes the vehicle, the driver display shows a text messageto the effect that the function is/has been active.
WARNING
City Safety must not be used as an excuse for the driver to change his/her driving style. Ifthe driver relies solely on City Safety to do thebraking, there might be a risk of a collisionsooner or later.

If the
Early setting produces too many warnings,
which could be perceived as irritating in certain situations, then use the
Normal or Late warning
distance. If warnings are perceived as being too frequent or disturbing then the warning distance can bereduced. This would lead to the system warning
