Objects, snow, ice or dirt in the area ofthe camera sensor can reduce the func-tion, disengage it completely or give animproper function response.

NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera andradar sensor, which has certain general limita-tions.

Rear Collision Warning51
The Rear Collision Warning52 (RCW) functioncan help the driver avoid rear-end collisions fromvehicles approaching from behind.
The function is automatically activated each timethe engine is started.
The function can alert drivers of following vehi-cles of the risk of a collision by rapidly flashingthe turn signals.
If, at a speed below 30 km/h (20 mph), the func-tion detects that the vehicle is in danger of beinghit from behind, the seatbelt tensioners may ten-sion the front seat belts and activate theWhiplash Protection System safety system.
Immediately before a collision from behind, thefunction may also activate the brakes in order toreduce the forward acceleration of the vehicleduring the collision. However, the brakes will onlybe applied if your vehicle is stationary. The brakeswill be immediately released if the acceleratorpedal is depressed.

Rear Collision Warning53 limitations
In some situations, it may be difficult for RearCollision Warning (RCW) to warn the driver of acollision risk.
This may be the case if:
the vehicle approaching from the rear isdetected at a late stage
the vehicle approaching from the rearchanges lanes at a late stage
a trailer, bicycle holder or similar is con-nected to the vehicle's electrical system - thefunction will then be automatically deacti-vated.
NOTE
In certain markets RCW does not warn withthe direction indicators due to local trafficregulations – in such cases, that part of thefunction is deactivated.
NOTE
The warning with direction indicators for RearCollision Warning is deactivated if the colli-sion warning distance in the City Safety func-tion is set to the lowest level "Late".
The seat belt tensioning and braking func-tions remain active.

BLIS*
The BLIS54 function is designed to help provideassistance in heavy traffic with several lanesmoving in the same direction by helping thedriver to detect the presence of vehicles in the"blind spot" area behind and to the side of thevehicle.
BLIS is a driver support system designed to alertthe driver of:
vehicles in your "blind spot"
vehicles approaching rapidly in adjacentlanes.Location of BLIS indicator light.55

Rapidly approaching vehicle zone.
The BLIS function is active at speedsabove 10 km/h (6 mph).
The system is designed to react to:
vehicles passing your vehicle
vehicles that are rapidly approaching yourvehicle from behind.
When BLIS detects a vehicle in zone 1 or a rap-idly approaching vehicle in zone 2, an indicatorlight will illuminate in the relevant rearview mirrorand glow steadily. If the driver then uses the turnsignal on the side in which the warning has been

given, the indicator light will become brighter andbegin flashing.

NOTE
The light illuminates on the side of the vehiclewhere the system has detected the vehicle. Ifthe vehicle is passed on both sides simulta-neously, both lights come on.

WARNING
The function is supplementary driver sup-port intended to facilitate driving and helpmake it safer – it cannot handle all situa-tions in all traffic, weather and road condi-tions.
The driver is advised to read all sectionsin the Owner's Manual about this functionto learn of its limitations, which the drivermust be aware of before using the func-tion.
Driver support functions are not a substi-tute for the driver's attention and judg-ment. The driver is always responsible forensuring the vehicle is driven in a safemanner, at the appropriate speed, with anappropriate distance to other vehicles,and in accordance with current trafficrules and regulations.

Examples of limitations:
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors mayreduce functionality and prevent the systemfrom providing warnings.
The BLIS function is automatically deacti-vated if a trailer, bicycle holder or similar isconnected to the vehicle's electrical system.
For BLIS to function optimally, bicycle hold-ers, luggage racks or similar should not bemounted on the vehicle's towbar.

Cross Traffic Alert60*
Cross Traffic Alert(CTA) is a supplementary
driver support system to BLIS61 that is intendedto help the driver detect vehicles crossingbehind the vehicle while backing up.
The auto-brake subfunction can stop the car inthe event of a risk of collision with an unob-served vehicle.
CTA overview
CTA supplements BLIS by detecting traffic cross-ing from the side, e.g. when backing out of aparking space.
CTA is primarily designed to detect vehicles, butin certain cases can also detect pedestrians orsmaller objects such as bicycles.
CTA is only active when the vehicle is movingbackward or if reverse gear is engaged.
If CTA detects that something is approachingyour vehicle from the side:
an audible signal will sound from either theleft or right speaker, depending on whichside of your vehicle the object is approachingfrom.
an icon will illuminate in the Park AssistSystem graphic on the screen.
an icon will appear in the Park Assist Cam-era's Top view.
Illuminated CTA icon in the Park Assist Systemgraphic on the screen.
If the driver does not pay attention to thewarning from CTA and a collision is unavoid-
able, the auto brake function will interveneto stop the vehicle and a text will be shownon the instrument panel to explain why thevehicle was braked.

WARNING
The auto-brake sub-function can only detectand apply the brakes for other moving vehi-cles – not for e.g. stationary obstacles, cyclistsor pedestrians.

Cross Traffic Alert64 limitations
The CTA65 function with auto brake may havelimited functionality in certain situations. Auto-brake is active at speeds under 15 km/h (9.3mph).
CTA does not function optimally in all situationsand has certain limitations. The CTA sensors, forexample, cannot "see" through other parkedvehicles or objects blocking the vehicle.
Below are a few examples of situations in whichCTA's field of vision may be initially limited andapproaching vehicles may therefore not bedetected until they are very close to your vehicle:
The vehicle is parked very far into a parking space.

DRIVER SUPPORT
* Option/accessory.327
In a diagonal parking space, CTA may be completely"blind" on one side of your vehicle.
CTA's blind zone.
CTA's field of vision.
However, as you back your vehicle slowly out of aparking space, CTA's field of vision changes inrelation to the obstructing vehicle/object and itsblind zone is reduced.

Examples of further limitations
The auto brake sub-function only detectsvehicles in motion and may therefore not
"see" and brake for e.g. stationary obstacles,a cyclists or a pedestrian.
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors mayreduce functionality and prevent the systemfrom providing warnings.
CTA is automatically deactivated if a trailer,bicycle holder or similar is connected to thevehicle's electrical system.
For CTA to function optimally, bicycle hold-ers, luggage racks or similar should not bemounted on the vehicle's towbar.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera andradar sensor, which has certain general limita-tions.
