140Driving and operatingGeneral information9Warning
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.
System limitations
The system is designed to warn of 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:
● on winding roads
● when weather limits visibility, e.g.
fog, rain, or snow
● when the sensor is blocked by snow, ice, slush, mud, dirt,
windscreen damage or affected
by foreign items, e.g. stickers
Following distance indication
The following distance indication
displays the distance to a preceding
moving vehicle. The front camera in
the windscreen is used to detect the
distance of a vehicle directly ahead in
the vehicle's path. It is active at
speeds above 40 km/h.
When a preceding vehicle is detected
ahead, the distance is indicated in
seconds, displayed on a page in the
Driver Information Centre 3 83 . Press
MENU on the stalk to select ? and
turn the adjuster wheel to choose following distance indication page.
The minimum indicated distance is 0.5 seconds.
If there is no vehicle ahead or the
vehicle ahead is out of range, two
dashes will be displayed: -.- sec.

Driving and operating141Parking assist
Rear parking assist9 Warning
It is the driver who bears full
responsibility for the parking
manoeuvre.
Always check the surrounding
area while reversing and using the rear parking assist system.
The rear parking assist makes
parking easier by measuring the
distance between the vehicle and
rear obstacles. It informs and warns
the driver via acoustic signals and
display indication.
The system has four ultrasonic
parking sensors in the rear bumper.
Activation
When reverse gear is engaged, the
system is ready to operate
automatically.
An illuminated LED in the parking
assist button r indicates that the
system is ready to operate.
Indication
The system warns the driver with
acoustic signals against potentially
hazardous obstacles behind the
vehicle in a distance range up to
1.5 m. The interval between the
sounds becomes shorter as the
vehicle gets closer to that obstacle.
When the distance is less than
approx. 30 cm, the sound is
continuous.
Additionally, the distance to rear obstacles is displayed by changing
distance lines in the Driver
Information Centre with Uplevel
display 3 83 or, depending on the
version, on the Colour Info Display
3 88.
The distance indication can be inhibited by vehicle messages with a higher priority. After approving the
message by pressing SET/CLR on
the stalk, distance indication appears
again.

Driving and operating143
An illuminated LED in the parking
assist button r indicates that the
system is ready to operate.
If r is switched off within an ignition
cycle, the front parking assist is
deactivated. If vehicle speed has
exceeded 25 km/h beforehand,
parking assist will be reactivated when speed drops below 11 km/h.
Indication
The system warns the driver with
acoustic signals against potentially
hazardous obstacles in front of the
vehicle in a distance range up to
80 cm and against potentially
hazardous obstacles behind the
vehicle in a distance range up to
1.5 m.
Depending on which side of the
vehicle is closer to an obstacle, you will hear acoustic warning signals inthe vehicle on the respective side.
The interval between the sounds
becomes shorter as the vehicle gets
closer to that obstacle. When the
distance is less than approx. 30 cm,
the sound is continuous.
Additionally, the distance to rear and
front obstacles is displayed by
changing distance lines in the Driver
Information Centre with Uplevel
display 3 83 or, depending on the
version, on the Colour Info Display 3 88.
The distance indication can be
inhibited by vehicle messages with a higher priority. After dismissing themessage, distance indication
appears again.

Driving and operating145correct distance indication in the
upper part of these vehicles
cannot be guaranteed.
Objects with a very small reflection
cross-section, e.g. objects of
narrow size or soft materials, may
not be detected by the system.
Parking assist systems do not
detect objects outside the
detection range.
Note
It is possible that the sensor detects
a non-existing object caused by
echo disturbance from external
acoustic noise or mechanical
misalignments (sporadic false
warnings may occur).
Make sure that the front number
plate is properly mounted (not bent
and no gaps to the bumper on the left
or right side) and the sensors are
firmly in place.
Low curbs and surface irregularities,
e.g. on construction zones, are not
detected by the system. The driver
accepts responsibility.
Rear view camera
The rear view camera assists the
driver when reversing by displaying a view of the area behind the vehicle.
The view of the camera is displayed
in the Colour 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.
Activation
Rear view camera is automatically
activated when reverse gear is
engaged.
Functionality
The camera is mounted between the
number plate lights and has a viewing angle of 130°.

Driving and operating149In some cases, traffic sign assistant is
cleared up automatically by the
system.
Clearing of traffic signs
There are different scenarios that
lead to clearing the currently
displayed traffic signs. After clearing,
the “Default Sign” is displayed in the
Driver Information Centre.
Reasons for signs being cleared: ● A predefined distance was driven
or time has elapsed (differs for
each sign type)
● Vehicle drives through a turn
● The speed becomes slower than 52 km/h (city entry detection)
Fault
The traffic sign assistant system may
not operate correctly if:
● The area of the windscreen, where the front camera is
located, is not clean or affected
by foreign items, e.g. stickers.
● Traffic signs are completely or partially covered or difficult to
discern.● There are adverse environmental
conditions, e.g. heavy rain, snow,direct sunlight or shadows.
● Traffic signs are incorrectly mounted or damaged.
● Traffic signs do not comply with the Vienna Convention on Road
Signs and Signals.Caution
The system is intended to help the
driver within a defined speed
range to discern certain traffic
signs. Do not ignore traffic signs
which are not displayed by the
system.
The system does not discern any other than the conventional traffic
signs that might give or end a
speed limit.
Do not let this special feature
tempt you into taking risks when
driving.
Always adapt speed to the road
conditions.
The driver assistance systems do not relieve the driver from full
responsibility for vehicle
operation.
Lane departure warning
The lane departure warning system
observes the lane markings between
which the vehicle is driving via a front camera. The system detects lane
changes and warns the driver in the
event of an unintended lane change
via visual and acoustic signals.
Criteria for the detection of an
unintended lane change are:
● No operation of turn lights.
● No brake pedal operation.
● No active accelerator operation or speeding-up.
● No active steering.
If the driver is performing these
actions, no warning will be issued.
