For more information on Speed Warnings in con-
junction with speed cameras, also see “Road
Sign Information with Speed Warning and Set-
tings” and “Road Sign Information limitations”.
NOTE

For an audible alert to be provided if the
speed is exceeded, the
Speed Limit
Warning function must be activated and
the
Road Sign Audio Warning sub-
function must be On. Audible alerts are
provided if the vehicle's speed exceeds
the speed displayed by RSI in the instru-
ment panel.
It is possible to receive an audible alert
for speed cameras regardless of the vehi-
cle's speed, whether or not the speed
limit is exceeded, and even if the
Road
Sign Audio Warning function is deacti- vated: See heading "Speed camerawarning On/Off" in section "Road Sign
Information with Speed Warning and set-
tings" and select Speed Camera Audio
Warning there.
Information about speed cameras on the
navigation map is not available for all
markets/areas.

Road Sign Information (RSI 101
) functionality may
be reduced in certain situations.
RSI could have reduced functionality due to e.g.:
faded road signs
signs located in a curve in the road
twisted or damaged signs
signs positioned high above the road
fully/partially obstructed or poorly positioned
signs
signs partially or fully covered by frost, snow
and/or dirt
digital road maps 102
that are outdated, incor-
rect or do not contain speed information 103
.
NOTE Certain types of bike carriers that are con-
nected to the trailer socket may be interpre-
ted as a connected trailer by the RSI function.
In such cases, the instrument panel may indi-
cate incorrect speed information.

DRIVER SUPPORT
* Option/accessory.
390 Park Assist*
The Park Assist function can help the driver
when maneuvering in tight spaces by indicating
distances to obstacles using audible signals and
graphics in the center display. Display view showing obstacle zones and sensor sec-
tors.
The center display shows an overview of the vehi-
cle in relation to objects that have been detected.
The marked sector indicates where the obstacle
is located. The closer the vehicle symbol is to a
marked sector forward/rearward, the closer the
detected obstacle is to your vehicle.
The side sectors change color as the distance
between the vehicle and an object decreases.
The audible signals will also speed up the closer
the obstacle is to the vehicle. The volume of the
audio system will be automatically lowered. Audible signals for obstacles in front and to the
sides of the vehicle are active when the vehicle is
moving but will cease after the vehicle has been
stationary for approx. 2 seconds. Audible signals
for obstacles behind the vehicle will remain active
even when the vehicle is stationary.
If a detected obstacle is within approx. 30 cm
(1 ft) from the front or rear of the vehicle, the
tone will become constant and the active sen-
sor's field closest to the vehicle symbol will be
filled in.
At distances within approx. 25 cm (0.8 ft) from an
obstacle to the sides of the vehicle, an rapid puls-
ing signal will be given and the active sector
fields will change color from ORANGE to RED.
The volume of the Park Assist audible signals
can be adjusted while the signal is being given
using the >II knob or in the center display's Top
view under Settings.
NOTE
Besides in the sector closest to the vehi-
cle symbol, audible warnings are only pro-
vided for objects located directly in the
vehicle's path.
WARNING
The Parking Assist function is supple-
mentary driver support intended to facili-
tate driving and help make it safer – it
cannot handle all situations in all traffic,
weather and road conditions.
The parking sensors have dead/blind
spots where objects cannot be detected.
Pay particular attention to people and
animals near the vehicle.
Parking Assist is not a substitute for the
driver's attention and judgment. The driver
is always responsible for ensuring the
vehicle is driven in a safe manner, at the
appropriate speed, with an appropriate
distance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and regula-
tions.

for a few minutes to let the transmission
cool.
If the vehicle begins to overheat, the air con-
ditioning may be temporarily switched off.
After a prolonged period of driving in
demanding conditions, do not turn off the
engine immediately after stopping.
NOTE It is normal for the engine's cooling fan to
operate for a short time after the engine is
switched off.

Preparing for a long trip (p. 472) Battery drain
The electrical functions in the vehicle drain the
battery to varying degrees. Avoid using ignition
mode II when the engine is switched off. Use
ignition mode I instead, as this uses less electri-
cal current.
Note that certain accessories may also drain
power from the electrical system. Do not use
functions that use a lot of electrical current when
the engine is turned off. Examples of such func-
tions are: blower
headlights
windshield wipers
audio system (especially at high volume).
If the starter battery voltage is low, a message is
shown in the driver display. The vehicle's energy-
saving function will then turn off or reduce certain
functions, such as the blower and/or the audio
system.
– Charge the battery by starting the engine
and let it run for at least 15 minutes (driving
charges the battery faster than letting the
engine idle).

connected through Bluetooth to use hands-free
functions or play music in the vehicle. When the
vehicle is connected to the Internet, it is also
possible to use apps to play media. Audio and media overview

The sound system is precalibrated for optimal
sound reproduction, but these settings can be
personalized.
The system's volume is normally adjusted using
the volume control below the center display or
the right-side steering wheel keypad. This
applies, for example, when playing music or the
radio or during phone calls and active traffic mes-
sages.
Optimal sound reproductionThe audio system is precalibrated for optimal
sound reproduction using digital signal process-
ing. This calibration takes into account speakers,
amplifiers, passenger compartment acoustics, lis-
tener position, etc. for each combination of vehi-
cle model and audio system. There is also a
dynamic calibration that takes into account the
volume control setting and the vehicle's speed.
Personal settingsDifferent settings are available in Top view under
Settings Sound
depending on the vehicle's
sound system.
