When the backrest is folded down, make surethere are no objects in the rear seat, and theseat belts are not buckled. Otherwise there isa risk of damage to the upholstery.
DRIVER SUPPORT
* Option/accessory.260
Driver support systems
The vehicle is equipped with a number of driversupport systems that can provide the driver withactive or passive assistance in various situations.
The systems can, for example, help the driver:
maintain a set speed
maintain a set time interval to the vehicleahead
help prevent a collision by warning the driverand applying the brakes
park the vehicle.
Some of the systems are standard and others areoptions. This also varies from market to market.

Speed-dependent steering wheelresistance
Speed-dependent power steering increases thesteering wheel resistance in pace with the vehi-cle's speed to give the driver an enhanced feel-ing of control and stability.
Steering may feel stiffer on highways. Whenparking and at low speeds, it will be easier tomove the steering wheel.
NOTE
In rare situations, the power steer-ing may become too hot andrequire temporary cooling – duringsuch time the power steering willwork at reduced output and the steeringwheel may feel more difficult to move.
When steering assistance is temporarilyreduced, the message Power steeringAssistance temporarily reduced and thissymbol will appear on the driver display.
While the power steering is working atreduced power, the driver support functionsand systems with steering assistance are notavailable.

To temporarily deactivate Adaptive Cruise Controland put it in standby mode:
–Press the button on the steering wheel(2).
>The symbol in the instrument panelchanges color from WHITE to GRAY andthe set speed in the center of the speed-ometer will change from BEIGE to GRAY.
WARNING
If Adaptive Cruise Control is in standbymode, the driver must intervene and regu-late both speed and distance to the vehicleahead.
If the vehicle comes too close to a vehicleahead when Adaptive Cruise Control is instandby mode, the driver can be warned ofthe short distance by the Distance Alert*function.
Standby mode due to action by the driver
Adaptive Cruise Control will be temporarily deac-tivated and put in standby mode if:
the brakes are applied
the gear selector is moved to N
the vehicle is driven faster than the setspeed for more than 1 minute
Temporarily increasing speed using the accelera-tor pedal, e.g. when passing another vehicle, willnot affect the setting. The vehicle will return tothe set speed when the accelerator pedal isreleased.
Automatic standby mode
Adaptive Cruise Control is dependent on othersystems, such as Electronic Stability Control
(ESC25). If any of these other systems stopsworking, Adaptive Cruise Control will automati-cally switch off.
WARNING
With automatic standby mode, the driver iswarned by an acoustic signal and a messageon the instrument panel.
The driver must then regulate vehiclespeed, apply the brakes if necessary, andmaintain a safe distance to other vehicles.
Adaptive Cruise Control may go into standbymode if:
your vehicle's speed goes below 5 km/h(3 mph) and ACC cannot determine if thevehicle ahead is stationary or if it is anotherobject, e.g. a speed bump.
your vehicle's speed goes under 5 km/h(3 mph) and the vehicle ahead turns so thatACC no longer has a vehicle to follow.
the driver opens the door.
the driver unbuckles the seat belt.
the engine speed (rpm) is too low/high.
one or more of the wheels lose traction.
the brake temperature is high.
the parking brake is applied.
the camera/radar sensor is covered by snowor heavy rain (the camera lens/radar wavesare blocked).

* Option/accessory.295
NOTE
Driver support can keep the vehicle stationaryfor no more than 5 minutes – after that timethe parking brake is applied and the functionis deactivated.
The parking brake must be released beforedriver support can be reactivated.
Deactivation of the Auto-hold brake function
In certain situations, auto-hold will be deactivatedwhen the vehicle is at a standstill and the func-tion will go into standby mode. This means thatthe brakes will be released and the vehicle couldbegin to roll. The driver must actively apply thebrakes to keep the vehicle stationary.
This can occur if:
the driver depresses the brake pedal
the parking brake is applied
the gear selector is moved to the P, N or Rpositions
the driver puts the function in standby mode.
Auto Activate Parking Brake
In certain situations, the parking brake will beapplied to keep the vehicle at a standstill.
This occurs if the function is keeping the vehiclestationary using the brakes and:
the driver opens the door or unbuckleshis/her seat belt
the function has kept the vehicle at a stand-still for more than approx. 5 minutes
the brakes overheat
the driver switches off the engine manually.

Passing assistance
Passing assistance can assist the driver whenpassing other vehicles. The function can beused with Pilot Assist or Adaptive Cruise Con-
trol* (ACC40).
How passing assistance works
When Pilot Assist or ACC is following anothervehicle and you indicate that you intend to pass
that vehicle by using the turn signal41, the systemwill begin accelerating toward the vehicle aheadbefore your vehicle has moved into the passinglane.
The function will then delay a speed reduction toavoid early braking as your vehicle approaches aslower-moving vehicle.
The function remains active until your vehicle haspassed the other vehicle.
WARNING
Please note that this function can be acti-vated in more situations than just passinganother vehicle, such as when a direction indi-cator is used to indicate a lane change orbefore exiting to another road – the vehiclewill then briefly accelerate.

Camera and radar sensor's field of vision
The camera's field of vision is limited and in cer-tain situations, it may be unable to detect pedes-trians, large animals, cyclists or vehicles, or it maydetect them later than expected.
Vehicles that are dirty may be detected later thanclean vehicles, and in dark conditions, motorcy-cles may be detected late or not at all.
If a text message displayed in the instrumentpanel indicates that the camera/radar sensor isobstructed, it may be difficult for City Safety todetect pedestrians, large animals, cyclists, vehi-cles or lane markings in front of the vehicle. CitySafety functionality may therefore be reduced.
Text messages may not be displayed for all situa-tions in which the windshield sensors areblocked. The driver must therefore always keepthe windshield in front of the camera/radar sen-sor clean.
CAUTION
Maintenance of driver support components
may only performed by a workshop50.
Driver intervention
Backing up
City Safety is temporarily deactivated when thevehicle is backing up.
Low speed
City Safety is not activated at very low speedsunder 4 km/h (3 mph). The system will thereforenot intervene in situations in which your vehicle isapproaching another vehicle very slowly, such aswhen parking.
Active driver
Action by the driver always has priority. CitySafety will therefore not react or will react at alater stage with a warning or intervention in situa-tions in which the driver is clearly steering andoperating the accelerator pedal, even if a collisionis unavoidable.
An active and aware driving style may thereforedelay collision warnings and intervention in orderto minimize unnecessary warnings.
Other limitations
WARNING
Warnings and brake interventions can betriggered late or not at all if the traffic sit-uation or external influences prevent thecamera and radar unit from properlydetecting pedestrians, cyclists, large ani-mals or vehicles ahead of the vehicle.
To be able to detect vehicles at night, itsfront and rear lights must work and illumi-nate clearly.
The camera and radar unit have a limitedrange for pedestrians and cyclists – thesystem can provide effective warningsand brake interventions if the relativespeed is lower than 50 km/h (30 mph).For stationary or slow-moving vehicles,warnings and brake interventions areeffective at vehicle speeds of up to70 km/h (43 mph). Speed reduction forlarge animals is less than 15 km/h(9 mph) and can be achieved at vehiclespeeds over 70 km/h (43 mph). At lowerspeeds, the warning and brake interven-tion for large animals is less effective.
Warnings for stationary or slow-movingvehicles and large animals can be disen-gaged due to darkness or poor visibility.

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.
