in front of you when you are farther
away. This gives you the best
reaction time, though could lead to
some more unwanted warnings.
“Medium” gives instead a little less
time for reacting compared to
“Far”, but at the same time should
lead to less not desired warning.
To change the setting for more
dynamic driving, select the “Near”
setting. This warns you of a possible
collision when you are much closer
to the vehicle or pedestrian (if the
car is equipped with Pedestrian
Emergency Braking - PEB function)in
front of you.
FCW with active braking can be set
to "On" or "Off".
• Surround View Camera
By activating this feature the system
uses four cameras to monitor the
area around the vehicle when
transmission lever is shifted to P
(Park), N (Neutral) or D (Drive)
position.
When activation occurs by pressing
the “Surround Camera” button in
the “Controls” screen or moving the
shift lever in R (Reverse) position,
the initial view will be the default
view (associated with current gear
state). Image will be displayed with active guidelines while in that gear
as long as vehicle speed remains
lower than 8 mph (12 km/h).
When vehicle is shifted into a
different gear, the image will
remain displayed for 10 seconds, or
vehicle is shifted in P (Park), or until
vehicle speed exceeds 8 mph
(12 km/h), at which point it will
immediately cancel and return to
the last-viewed screen.
The feature can be set to “On” or
“Off”. See “Surround View Camera
System (optional)” in section
“Understanding the Vehicle” for
further details.
• Traffic Sign Assist
By activating this feature, the
forward-facing digital camera, with
the aid of maps on the navigation
system, is able to detect speed limits
and traffic signs with a restriction
indicated by an additional sign (e.g.
in snow condition). Those are
displayed by the TSA system on the
instrument cluster display together
with a possible alert when the
vehicle exceeds the speed limit. See "Traffic Sign Assist - TSA" in
section "Driving" for further details.Dashboard Instruments and Controls
