WARNING
The Electronic Stability Control systemESC is supplementary driver supportintended to facilitate driving and make itsafer – it cannot handle all situations inall traffic, weather and road conditions.
ESC is not a substitute for the driver'sattention and judgment. The driver isalways responsible for ensuring the vehi-cle is driven in a safe manner, at theappropriate speed, with an appropriatedistance to other vehicles, and in accord-ance with current traffic rules and regula-tions.
Stability control 3
This function helps control the driving and brak-ing force of each individual wheel in an attemptto stabilize the vehicle.
Spin control and active yaw control
This function is active at low speeds and brakesthe wheels that are spinning to transfer additionalpower from wheels that are not spinning.
This function also helps prevent the wheels fromspinning while the vehicle is accelerating.
Engine drag control
Engine drag control (EDC4) helps prevent inad-vertent wheel lock, e.g. after downshifting orusing engine braking when driving at low speedson a slippery surface.
Inadvertent wheel lock while driving could impairthe driver's ability to steer the vehicle.
Trailer Stability Assist * 5
Trailer Stability Assist (TSA6) is designed to helpstabilize a vehicle that is towing a trailer if thevehicle and trailer have begun to sway. For moreinformation, see "Trailer Stability Assist".
NOTE
The TSA function is deactivated if ESC SportMode is activated.

BLIS77 functionality may be reduced in certainsituations.
Keep the marked area clean (on both the left and rightsides of the vehicle)78.
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.
WARNING
BLIS does not work in sharp curves.
BLIS does not work when the vehicle isbeing reversed.

For optimal performance, it is important tokeep the areas in front of the sensors clean.
Do not attach any objects, tape or decals tothe surface of the sensors.
Keep the marked area clean (on both the left and rightsides of the vehicle)87.
The CTA sensors are located on the inside ofeach of the rear fenders/bumpers and are also
used by the BLIS88 and Rear Collision Warningfunctions.
CAUTION

The Parking Camera function is supple-mentary driver support intended to facili-tate driving and help make it safer – itcannot handle all situations in all traffic,weather and road conditions.
The parking cameras have dead/blindspots where objects cannot be detected.
Pay particular attention to people andanimals near the vehicle.
Objects/obstacles may be closer to thevehicle than they appear on the screen.

Back
The rear camera116 is located above the license plate.
The rear camera shows a wide area behind thevehicle. On certain models, part of the bumperand the towbar (if installed) may be visible.
Objects on the center display may appear to beleaning slightly. This is normal.
Front camera
The front Park Assist Camera117 is located in the grille.
The front camera can be useful when pulling outfrom areas with limited visibility, such as a drive-way surrounded by a hedge. The front camera isactive at speeds up to 25 km/h (16 mph) and isautomatically turned off when the vehicleexceeds this speed.
If the vehicle does not reach a speed of 50 km/h(30 mph) and speed falls below 22 km/h(14 mph) within 1 minute after the front cameraturns off, the camera will be reactivated.
Side cameras
The side cameras117 are located in the rearview mirrors.
The side cameras can show views along eachside of the vehicle.

Park Assist Camera trajectory lines
The Park Assist Camera uses trajectory linesand fields on the screen to indicate the vehicle'sposition in relation to its immediate surround-ings.
Example118 of trajectory lines.
The trajectory lines show the anticipated trajec-tory for the vehicle's outermost dimensions basedon the current position of the steering wheel to
help simplify parallel parking, backing into tightspaces or attaching a trailer.
The lines on the screen are projected as if theywere painted lines on the ground behind thevehicle and are directly affected by the way inwhich the steering wheel is turned. This enablesthe driver to see path the vehicle will take, even ifhe/she turns the steering wheel.
These lines also indicate the outermost limits thatany object (towbar, rearview mirrors, corners ofthe body, etc.) extends out from the vehicle.
NOTE
When reversing with a trailer that is notelectrically connected to the vehicle, thescreen guide lines show the path thevehicle will take – not the trailer.
The screen does not show guide lineswhen a trailer is electrically connected tothe vehicle's electrical system.
Guide lines are not shown when zoomingin.
CAUTION
Bear in mind that when the rearwardcamera view is selected, the screen onlyshows the area behind the vehicle – payattention to the sides and front of thevehicle when steering while reversing.
The same applies to the reverse – payattention to what is happening with therear parts of the vehicle when the frontcamera view is selected.
Note that the guide lines show the short-est path – pay extra attention to ensurethat the vehicle sides do not come incontact with/travel over anything whensteering while driving forward or that thevehicle front moves toward/over anythingwhen steering while reversing.

In the 360° view, trajectory lines are shownbehind, in front of, or to the sides of the vehicle,depending on the direction of travel.
When driving forward: Front lines
When backing up: Side lines and rear lines.
When the front or rear camera is selected, thetrajectory lines will be shown regardless of thevehicle's direction of travel.
With a side camera selected, the trajectory lineswill only be shown if the vehicle is backing up.
