confused with a lorry or a
stationary object
● when passing too quickly
Deactivation The system can be activated via the
vehicle settings menu in the Info
Display.
Info Display 3 75.The state of the system is memorised
when switching off the ignition.
The system is automatically
deactivated when towing an
electrically connected trailer.
Due to adverse weather conditions,
such as heavy rain, false detections
may occur.
Fault
In the event of a fault, C illuminates
in the instrument panel, accompanied a display message. Contact a dealer
or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
Active side blind spot detection In addition to the regular side blind
spot alert, the active side blind spot
detection corrects the vehicle's
trajectory by turning the steering
wheel gently back into lane when an
object is detected within a specified
blind spot zone. The system is only
active when side blind spot alert and
lane keep assist are activated as well.
Lane keep assist 3 152.
Driving and operating151camera'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.
Switching on
Rear view camera is automatically
activated when reverse gear is
engaged.
Functionality
The camera is mounted in the rear
bumper above the number plate.
The area displayed by the camera is
limited. The distance of the image that
appears on the display differs from
the actual distance.
Guidelines
The first horizontal line represents a
distance of about 30 cm beyond the
edge of vehicle's rear bumper. The
upper horizontal lines represent
distances of about 1 m and 2 m.
Trajectory lane of the vehicle is
shown in accordance with the
steering angle.
Switching off
The camera is switched off when: ● towing an electrically connected trailer, bicycle carrier, etc.
● a certain forward speed is exceeded or if reverse gear is not
engaged for 7 seconds
● by pressing the icon q in the left
upper corner of the touch screenSystem limitations
The rear view camera may not
operate properly when:
● the surrounding is dark
● the beam of headlights is shining
directly into the camera lenses
● weather limits visibility, such as fog, rain, or snow
● the camera lenses are blocked by snow, ice, slush, mud, dirt.Clean the lense, rinse with water,
and wipe with a soft cloth
● the vehicle is towing an electrically connected trailer,
bicycle carrier, etc.
● the vehicle had a rear end accident
● there are extreme temperature changes
Traffic sign assistant
The traffic sign assistant is an
extension of the speed limit
recognition available for speed
limiter, cruise control and adaptive
cruise control.
152Driving and operating
The system recognises the traffic
signs above and displays them in the
Driver Information Centre.
9 Warning
The actual traffic sign always
takes priority over the traffic sign displayed in the Driver Information Centre.
If the vehicle enters a road of whichthe entry is prohibited, the no entry
traffic symbol and a warning message are displayed in the Driver
Information Centre. If the system
detects one of the other traffic signs,
the respective traffic sign is displayed
in the Driver Information Centre.
Speed limiter 3 122
Cruise control 3 120
Adaptive cruise control 3 124
Lane keep assist
Lane keep assist supports the driver
to avoid unintended leaving of the
lane. The front camera observes road
edges, as well as the lane markings
between which the vehicle is driving.
If the vehicle approaches a road edge or a lane marking, the steering wheel
is gently turned to position so that the
vehicle turns back into the lane. The
driver will then notice a turning
movement of the steering wheel. Turn steering wheel in same direction, if
the system does not steer sufficiently.
Turn steering wheel gently into
opposite direction, if lane change is
intended.
When the system steers to correct the trajectory of the vehicle, L flashes
yellow in the instrument cluster.
Unintended lane departure is not
assumed by the system when the turn lights are operated and during few
seconds after turn lights have been
switched off.Note
The system may be switched off if it
detects lanes which are too narrow,
too wide or too curved.
Following preconditions have to be
fulfilled:
● vehicle speed must be between 65 km/h and 180 km/h
● the driver must hold the steering wheel
● the turn lights are not activated
● the electronic stability control is activated and not in operation
● the vehicle is not connected to a trailer or an electric bicycle carrier
● normal driving behaviour (system
detects dynamic driving style, i.e. pressure on the brake or
accelerator pedal)
● roads with good lane markings ● no spare wheel is used
● the driver is not taking the hands off the steering wheel for a longer
time period
● the vehicle is not driven in a tight
corner
Driving and operating153Activation
If the system is activated, the LED in
the button j is not illuminated. To
activate the system when the system
is deactivated, press j.
The system is operational at vehicle
speeds between 65 km/h and
180 km/h and if lane markings are
detectable. The driver must hold the
steering wheel. The electronic
stability control system must be
activated.
The control indicator L flashes
yellow during trajectory correction.
If the driver wishes to maintain the
trajectory of the vehicle, he can
interrupt the correction by keeping a
firm grip on the steering wheel, e.g.
during an avoiding manoeuvre. The
correction is interrupted if the turn
lights are operated. If the vehicle is
equipped with active side blind spot detection, the interruption of the lane
correction might be cancelled.
Side blind zone assistant 3 146.
There is no correction triggered when
the turn lights are operated and
during few seconds after turn lights
have been switched off.
If the system detects that the driver is not holding the steering wheel
permanently, it interrupts the
correction. A warning message in the
Driver Information Centre
accompanied by a warning chime
alerts the driver when immediate
driver´s action is required.Deactivation
To deactivate the system, press and
hold j. Deactivation of the system is
confirmed by the illuminated LED in
the button and L illuminates yellow
in the instrument cluster.
Fault
In the event of a fault, L and C
appear in the instrument panel,
accompanied by a display message
and a warning chime. Contact a
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked.
System limitations The system performance may be
affected by:
● a dirty or foggy windscreen or if the windscreen is affected by
foreign objects, e.g. stickers
● close vehicles ahead
● banked roads
● winding or hilly roads
● road edges
● sudden lighting changes
154Driving and operating● adverse environmentalconditions, e.g. heavy rain or
snow
● vehicle modifications, e.g. tyres
Switch off the system if the system is
disturbed by tar marks, shadows,
road cracks, temporary or
construction lane markings, or other
road imperfections.9 Warning
Always keep your attention on the
road and maintain proper vehicle
position within the lane, otherwise
vehicle damage, injury or death
could occur.
Lane keep assist does not
continuously steer the vehicle.
The system may not keep the
vehicle in the lane or give an alert,
even if a lane marking is detected.
The steering of the lane keep
assist may not be sufficient to
avoid a lane departure.
The system may not detect hands-
off driving due to external
influences like road condition and
surface and weather. The driver has full responsibility to control the vehicle and is always required to
keep the hands on the steering
wheel while driving.
Using the system while towing a
trailer or on slippery roads could
cause loss of control of the vehicle
and a crash. Switch the system off.
Driver alert
The driver alert system monitores the driving time and the vigilance of the
driver. Monitoring the vigilance of the
driver is based on the trajectory
variations of the vehicle compared to
the lane markings.
The system includes a driving time
alert combined with driver drowsiness detection.
9 Warning
The system cannot replace the
need for vigilance on the part of
the driver. Taking a break is
recommended as soon as feeling tired or at least every 2 hours. Do
not drive when feeling tired.
Activation or Deactivation
The system can be activated or
deactivated in the vehicle
personalisation 3 77.
The state of the system stays in
memory when the ignition is switched
off.
Driving time alert
The driver gets notified by a pop-up reminder symbol Y in the Driver
Information Centre simultaneously with an acoustic alert if the driver has
not taken a break after 2 hours of
driving at a speed above 65 km/h. The alert is repeated hourly until the
vehicle is stopped, no matter how
vehicle speed evolves.
