Lighting125Headlights when driving
abroad
When driving in countries where
traffic drives on the opposite side of
the road, the headlights do not have
to be adjusted.
Daytime running lights Daytime running lights increase
visibility of the vehicle during daylight.
They are switched on automatically
when the engine is running.
The system switches between
daytime running lights and low beam automatically, depending on the
lighting conditions.
Cornering lightsActivated at a speed of up to 40 km/h
when turning off. Depending on the
steering angle or the activation of the turn lights the front fog light illuminate
the direction of travel.
This function can be activated or
deactivated in the vehicle
personalisation 3 119.
Hazard warning flashersHazard warning flashers are switched
on automatically in the following
situations:
● Braking in an emergency (depending on the force of
deceleration).
● In the event of an accident.
They are switched off the first time
you accelerate or if you press ¨.
Turn lightsstalk up:right turn lightsstalk down:left turn lights
A resistance point can be felt when
moving the stalk.
126LightingConstant flashing is activated when
the stalk is being moved beyond the
resistance point. It is deactivated
when the steering wheel is moved in
the opposite direction or stalk is
manually moved back to its neutral
position.
Activate temporary flashing by
holding the stalk just before the
resistance point. Turn lights will flash
until stalk is being released.
To activate three flashes, tap the stalk
briefly without passing the resistance
point.
If you forget to cancel the turn lights
for more than twenty seconds, the
volume of the audible signal will
increase if the speed is above
60 km/h.Front fog lights

Driving and operating1819Warning
Forward collision alert is just a
warning system and does not
apply the brakes. When
approaching a vehicle ahead too
rapidly, it may not provide you
enough time to avoid a collision.
The driver accepts full
responsibility for the appropriate
following distance based on traffic, weather and visibility conditions.
The complete attention of the
driver is always required while
driving. The driver must always be
ready to take action and apply the
brakes.
Caution
The colour lighting of this control
indicator does not correspond to
local traffic laws on following
distance. The driver bears full
responsibility for maintaining safe
following distance according to
applicable traffic rules, weather
and road conditions etc. at all
times.
Selecting the alert sensitivity
The alert sensitivity has to be set to
close, normal or distant in the vehicle personalisation menu 3 119.
The chosen setting will remain until it
is changed. The alert timing will vary
based on vehicle speed. The faster
the vehicle speed, the farther away
the alert will occur. Consider traffic
and weather conditions when
selecting the alert timing.
Deactivation The system can only be deactivated
by deactivating the active emergency
braking in the vehicle personalisation
3 119.
System limitations
Forward collision alert is designed to
warn on vehicles only, but may react
also to other objects.
In the following cases, forward
collision alert may not detect a vehicle ahead or sensor performance is
limited:
● driving on winding or hilly roads
● driving during nighttime
● weather limits visibility, such as fog, rain, or snow
● the sensor in the windscreen is blocked by snow, ice, slush, mud,dirt etc.
● the windscreen is damaged or affected by foreign objects, e.g.
stickers
Active emergency braking
Active emergency braking can help to reduce the damage and injury from
crashes with vehicles, pedestrians
and obstacles directly ahead, when a
collision can no longer be avoided
either by manual braking or by
steering. Before the active
emergency braking applies, the driver is warned by the forward collision
alert 3 180 or the front pedestrian
protection alert 3 184.
Driving and operating197Always check the surrounding of
the vehicle before driving.
Displayed images may be further
or closer than they appear. The
area displayed is limited and
objects that are close to either
edge of the bumper or under the
bumper are not displayed on the
screen.
System limitations
Caution
For optimal operation of the
system, it is important to keep the
lense of the camera in the tailgate between the number plate lightsalways clean. Rinse the lense with water and wipe with a soft cloth.
Do not clean the lense with a
steam-jet or high-pressure jet
cleaner.
The panoramic view system may not
operate properly when:
● The surrounding is dark.
● The sun or the beam of headlights is shining directly into
the camera lenses.
● During nighttime driving.
● Weather limits visibility, such as fog, rain, or snow.
● The camera lenses are blocked by snow, ice, slush, mud, dirt.
● The vehicle is towing a trailer.
● The vehicle had an accident.
● There are extreme temperature changes.
Rear view camera The view of the camera is displayed
in the Info Display.9 Warning
The rear view camera does not
replace driver vision. Note that
objects that are outside the
camera's field of view and the
parking assist sensors, e.g. below
the bumper or underneath the
vehicle, are not displayed.
Do not reverse or park the vehicle
using only the rear view camera.
Always check the surrounding of
the vehicle before driving.
Switching on
Rear view camera is automatically
activated when reverse gear is
engaged.
Functionality
198Driving and operatingThe camera is mounted in the tailgateor the left rear door.
The area displayed by the camera is
limited. The distance of the image that
appears on the display differs from
the actual distance.
Guidelines
Dynamic guidelines are horizontal
lines at one metre intervals projected
onto the picture to define the distance
to displayed objects.
Trajectory lane of the vehicle is
shown in accordance with the
steering angle.

Switching off The camera is switched off when a
forward gear is engaged.
System limitations The rear view camera may not
operate properly when:
● the surrounding is dark
● the beam of headlights is shining
directly into the camera lenses
● weather limits visibility, such as fog, rain, or snow
● the camera lenses are blocked by snow, ice, slush, mud, dirt.
Clean the lense, rinse with water,
and wipe with a soft cloth
● the tailgate will be opened
● the vehicle is towing an electrically connected trailer,bicycle carrier, etc.● the vehicle had a rear end accident
● there are extreme temperature changes
Lane keep assist Lane keep assist helps to avoid
crashes due to unintentional lane
departures. A front camera located at the top of the windscreen observes
the lane markings between which the
vehicle is driving. If the vehicle
approaches a lane marking, the
steering wheel is gently turned to
position the vehicle back into the lane. The driver will then notice a turning
movement of the steering wheel. Turn
steering wheel in same direction, if
system steers not sufficient. Turn
steering wheel gently into opposite
direction, if lane change is intended.
When the system steers to correct the trajectory of the vehicle, a flashes
yellow in the instrument cluster.
A warning message in the Driver
Information Centre accompanied by a warning chime alerts the driver when
immediate driver´s action is required.
202Driving and operatingdriver, the system triggers the first
level of alert. The driver is notified by
a message and an audible signal is
given.
After three first level alerts, the
system triggers a new alert with a message, accompanied by a more
pronounced audible signal.
In certain driving conditions (poor
road surface or strong winds), the
system may give alerts independent of the driver's level of vigilance.
The driver drowsiness detection is
reinitialised when the ignition has
been switched off for a few minutes or the speed remains below 65 km/h for
a few minutes.
System limitationsIn the following situations, the system
may not operate properly or even not
operate at all:
● poor visibility caused by inadequate lighting of the
roadway, falling snow, heavy
rain, dense fog etc.● dazzle caused by headlamps of oncoming vehicles, low sun,
reflections on damp roads,
leaving a tunnel, alternating
shade and light etc.
● windscreen area in front of the camera covered by dirt, snow,
stickers etc.
● no lane markings detected or multiple lane markings due to
roadworks
● close vehicles ahead
● winding roads or narrow roadsFuel
