Rear Collision Warning (RCW)
The Rear Collision Warning with braking atstandstill (RCW) function can help the driveravoid rear-end collisions.
RCW is activated automatically each time theengine is started.
RCW can warn the driver of a vehicle approach-ing yours from behind by rapidly flashing yourturn signals.
RCW is only activated when a vehicle is rapidlyapproaching your vehicle from behind.
At speeds below 20 mph (30 km/h), if RCWdetermines that your vehicle is at risk of a rear-end collision, the front seat belt pretensionersand the Whiplash Protection System are acti-vated.
Just prior to the collision, the brakes are alsoapplied to help reduce your vehicle's forwardmovement if and when the collision occurs. How-ever, this can only happen if your vehicle is sta-tionary.
The brakes will be released immediately if theaccelerator pedal is pressed.

NOTE
•Due to local traffic regulations in certainmarkets, RCW will not activate the rearturn signals. That part of the function willbe deactivated.
•The use of the rear turn signals will alsobe deactivated if the City Safety warninglevel is set at Later. See also the section"Setting a warning level (distance)" in thearticle "City Safety settings."
•If RCW detects a vehicle approachingfrom behind, the seat belt pretensionersand Whiplash Protection System will beactivated.

Limitations
In some circumstances, it may be difficult forRCW to help the driver if there is a risk of a colli-sion, such as:
•If the vehicle approaching from the rear isdetected at a late stage
•If the vehicle approaching from the rearchanges lanes at a late stage
•If the vehicle approaching from the rear ismoving at a speed above approx. 50 mph(80 km/h)

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.

If the driving pattern becomesnoticeably erratic, the driver willbe alerted by an audible signaland Driver Alert Time for abreak will appear in the instru-ment panel along with a sym-bol.
The warning will be repeated if the driving patterndoes not change.

WARNING
•DAC is not intended to extend the dura-tion of driving. Always plan breaks at reg-ular intervals to help remain alert.
•A warning from DAC should not beignored. A driver may not be aware ofhow fatigued he/she has become.
•In certain cases, fatigue may not affectthe driver

Low Speed Control (LSC)
Low Speed Control (LSC) helps make off-roaddriving easier on slippery surfaces when towinga trailer on grass, etc. This feature is part of theOff Road drive mode.
When driving at low speeds, LSC prioritizes lowgears and all wheel drive to help avoid wheel spinand to improve the vehicle's tractive force. Theaccelerator pedal and engine react differently tomake low-speed driving easier.
It is activated along with Hill Descent Control(HDC), which increases engine braking to helpkeep vehicle speed low and smooth, even drivingdown steep hills.

Suspension leveling settings
Easy entry
The vehicle can be lowered to entering and exit-ing easier.
In the center display's Top view:
1.Tap Settings.
2.Tap My CarSuspension .
3.Select Easy Entry/Exit Control.
>When the vehicle is parked and theengine is turned off, the level is lowered.Level adjustment will stop if a side door isopened and will resume after a slightdelay when the door has been closed.When the engine is started and the vehi-cle begins to move, the level will be raisedto the height set by the selected drivemode.
If a door has been opened and closed, there maybe a slight delay before the leveling function willresume.

Turning off suspension and leveling control
In certain situations, this function has to beturned off, for example when lifting the vehicle ona jack to help avoid problems created by the dif-ference in levels in the pneumatic suspensionwhen the vehicle is raised.
1.Tap Settings in the center display's Topview.
2.Tap My CarSuspension .
3.Select Deactivate Suspension & LevelingControl.
Loading mode
Use the buttons in the cargo compartment toraise or lower the vehicle to make loading orunloading easier or when attaching a trailer.

Parking the vehicle
When parking, be sure that there is adequatespace above and below the vehicle since itsground clearance may vary, e.g., depending onthe ambient temperature, how the vehicle is loa-ded, if loading mode is being used or the drivemode selected after the engine is started.
The level may also be adjusted for a certain timeafter the vehicle has been parked to compensatefor possible height adjustments due to tempera-ture changes in the pneumatic suspension whenthe vehicle has cooled.
Transport
When transporting the vehicle on a ferry, train ora tow truck, it may only be secured (lashed)around the tires, not using any other chassiscomponents. Changes in the pneumatic suspen-sion may occur during transport that could nega-tively affect the lashing and result in damage.

HD Radio™reception
HD Radio is a brand name registered by the
iBiquity digital corporation4. They are the devel-oper of a broadcasting technology called IBOCor In Band On Channel, which refers to themethod of transmitting a digital radio broadcastsignal centered on the same frequency as theFM station's present frequency.
Introduction
Display when the radio is receiving an HD Radio broad-cast (generic illustration)

NOTE
HD Radio volume may fade in and out attimes due to coverage limitations.
The IBOC system is referred to as a "hybrid"since it is both analogue and digital. Duringhybrid operation, receivers still continue toreceive the analogue (non-digital) signal. HDRadio receivers incorporate both modes ofreception, where the receiver will automaticallyswitch to the analogue signal if the digital signalcannot be decoded or is lost by the receiver.
When you have tuned to an HD Radio station, the
symbol will appear in the infotainment sys-tem display. The symbol will be displayed in dif-ferent colors:
•Grayed-out symbol: NoHD Radio broadcastreception
•White symbol: the radio is actively receivingan HD broadcast
•Orange symbol: the radio is receiving anHD broadcast with digital sound
