Blind Spot Information (BLIS)*
Blind Spot Information is a system designed toalert the driver to the presence of other vehiclesmoving in the same direction as your vehicle onroads with several lanes.
Blind Spot Information is a driving aid intendedto:
•detect other vehicles in your door mirrors'"blind area"
•detect vehicles that are about to pass yourvehicle or are approaching your vehiclequickly from behind in the left and/or rightlanes

WARNING
•Blind Spot Information is an informationsystem, NOT a warning or safety systemand does not function in all situations.
•Blind Spot Information does not eliminatethe need for you to visually confirm theconditions around you, and the need foryou to turn your head and shoulders tomake sure that you can safely changelanes or back up.
•As the driver, you have full responsibilityfor changing lanes/backing up in a safemanner.
Overview
Blind Spot Information indicators
Indicator light
BLIS button in the center display's Functionview to activate/deactivate the function
The indicator light illuminates on the side of thevehicle where the system has detected anothervehicle. If your vehicle is passed on both sides atthe same time, both lights will illuminate.
Principle for Blind Spot Information: Zone 1. Blind area,Zone 2. Area for approaching/passing vehicles
Blind Spot Information functions when your vehi-cle is moving at speeds above approx. 6 mph(10 km/h).
Blind Spot Information is designed to react to:
•vehicles that are passing your vehicle
•other vehicles that are rapidly approachingyour vehicle
When Blind Spot Information detects a vehicle inzone 1 or a fast-approaching vehicle in zone 2,the indicator light in the respective door mirrorwill glow steadily.
If the driver then uses the turn signal on the sideon which the warning is given, the indicator lightwill begin flashing and become brighter.

Backing up
Location of the rear Park Assist Camera (generic illus-tration)
The rear camera shows a wide area behind thevehicle and on certain models, part of the bumperand the trailer hitch (if installed) will be visible.
Some objects on the screen may appear to “lean”slightly, which is normal.

WARNING
People/objects/obstructions displayed on thecenter console screen may be closer to thevehicle than they appear.
Front camera
Location of the front Park Assist Camera (generic illus-tration)
The front camera is located behind the grill andcan be useful when driving off in areas with lim-ited visibility (hedges, bushes, etc). It is active atspeeds up to approx. 16 mph (25 km/h) and isautomatically turned off when the vehicleexceeds this speed.
However, if the vehicle's speed does not exceed30 mph (50 km/h) and its speed goes under14 mph (22 km/h) within 60 seconds after thecamera has been switched off, the front camerawill reactivate.

NOTE
The front camera will only reactivate automati-cally if Auto Camera Reverse Activation
has been selected in SettingsMy CarPark Assist.

Side camera
The side cameras are located in the respectivedoor mirrors and shows views along the sides ofthe vehicle.

Park Assist Camera (PAC)*trajectory lines and fields
The Park Assist Camera system uses trajectorylines and fields to indicate the vehicle's positionin relation to its immediate surroundings.

Trajectory lines
Sample guidelines
The trajectory lines are intended to show theposition of the vehicle's outermost dimensionsbased on the current position of the steeringwheel to help simplify parallel parking, backinginto tight spaces or when attaching a trailer.
The lines on the screen are projected as if theywere a path on the ground around the vehicleand are directly affected by the way in which thesteering wheel is turned. This enables the driverto see path the vehicle will take, even if he/sheturns the steering wheel.
These lines also indicate the outermost limits thatany object (door mirrors, corners of the body, atrailer hitch, etc.) extends out from the vehicle,even when it turns.
NOTE
When backing up with a trailer, the trajectorylines show the path that the vehicle will take,not the trailer.
Trajectory lines will not be displayed whilezooming in.

WARNING
Keep in mind that when the rear camera hasbeen selected, the image on the screen onlyshows the area behind the vehicle. The drivermust always watch for people, animals, othervehicles, etc., near the sides or the front of thevehicle when turning while backing up.
The opposite is true when the front camera isselected.
Please note that the trajectory lines show theshortest path. Be sure that the vehicle

Park Assist Camera* (PAC)limitations
The Park Assist Camera system has certain limi-tations that the driver should be aware of.

NOTE
Bicycle carriers or other accessories mountedon the tailgate may obstruct the camera'sfield of vision.

Blind sectors
Even if a fairly small section of the screen imageappears to be obstructed, this may mean that arelatively large area is hidden and objects theremay not be detected until they are very near thevehicle.
The "blind" sectors between the cameras' fields of vision
With 360° view selected, objects/obstacles maynot be detected at the edges of the individualcameras' fields of vision.
Defective camera
If a camera sector is dark andcontains this symbol, this indi-cates that the camera is notfunctioning properly (see thefollowing illustration).
In this example, the driver's side camera is not function-ing

Dark camera sectors
A dark camera sector may also be displayed inthe following situations but without the defectivecamera symbol. A sector may be dark because:
•the door mirror is folded in
•the door is open
•the tailgate is open
Ambient lighting
The camera images are adjusted automatically tothe ambient light, which means the image mayvary slightly in terms of light and quality. Poorambient lighting may reduce the quality of theimage.

Maintenance
•Keep the camera's lens free of dirt, ice andsnow. This is particularly important in poorambient lighting conditions.
•Remove dirt, ice and snow carefully to avoidscratching the lenses.
•Clean the lens regularly with warm water anda suitable car washing detergent.

STARTING AND DRIVING
402
Battery drain
Your vehicle's electrical functions drain the bat-tery to varying extents.
Avoid using ignition mode II as much as posssi-ble, or electrical functions that require a greatdeal of electrical current when the engine is notrunning.
Using ignition mode I whenever possible con-sumes less electrical current.
Functions that require a great deal of electricalcurrent include:
•the climate system blower
•headlights
•wipers
•infotainment system (especially at high vol-ume).
If the battery's charge level is low, a text messagewill appear in the instrument panel. The vehicle'senergy-saving function will then turn off orreduce certain functions that are currently con-suming electrical current.
If the battery needs to be recharged, start theengine and let it idle for at least 15 minutes ordrive the vehicle (driving charges the batteryfaster than letting the engine idle).
