WARNING
Observe the safety warnings

Driver assistance systems
Critical warning
If the driv er f
ails t
o r
eact to the advance
warning, the system may actively intervene
in the brakes and generate a brief jolt to warn
the driver of the imminent danger of a colli-
sion.
Automatic braking
If the driver also fails to react to the critical
warning, the system may initiate independ-
ent emergency braking by progressively in-
creasing the braking in accordance with how
critical the situation is.
Driver emergency brake assistance sys-
tem
The system may detect that the driver is not
braking hard enough to avoid the collision. In
this case, it will increase the braking intensity.
The system cannot prevent a collision, al-
though it can significantly minimise the con-
sequences by reducing the speed and the
force of the impact. WARNING
Observe the safety warnings

Driver assistance systems
Using the blind spot detector
(BSD) with parking assist ant
(RC TA)*
Intr oduction The blind spot detector (BSD) helps to detect
the traffic situation behind the vehicl
e
.
The integrated parking assistant (RCTA) helps
the driver when backing out of a parallel
parking spot and in manoeuvring.
The blind spot detector has been developed
for driving on paved roads. WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into
the blind spot detector (BSD) with parking assistance (RC T

A) included cannot over-
come the limits imposed by the laws of
physics; it only works within the limits of the
system. Accidents and severe injury may
occur if the blind spot detection system or
the rear cross traffic alert are used negli-
gently or involuntarily. The system is not a
replacement for driver awareness.

Driving
The control lamps light up together when the
ignition is s wit
ched on and shoul d t
urn off af
-
ter approximately 2 seconds. This is the time
taken for the function check.
Brake assist systems Electronic Stability Control (ESC)*
The ESC helps to improv
e saf

ety. It reduces
the tendency to skid and improves the stabili-
ty and roadholding of the vehicle. The ESC
detects critical handling situations, such as
vehicle understeer or oversteer, or wheelspin
on the driving wheels. It stabilises the vehicle
by braking individual wheels or by reducing
the engine torque. The warning lamp will
flash on the instrument panel when the ESC is
intervening !.
The ESC includes the anti-lock brake system
(ABS), the hydraulic brake assist (HBA), the
traction control system (ASR), electronic dif-
ferential lock (EDS), electronic torque control
(XDS).
ESC also helps stabilise the vehicle by
changing the torque.
The ASR can be deactivated when wheel spin
is desirable

Help with parking and manoeuvring
If the separation is maintained, the warning
v olume is r
educed aft er about 4 seconds.

WARNING
Driving with a trailer and transporting
heavy or large objects can aff ect driving
pr
operties and even cause an accident.

repeated automatic braking may occur in
extreme driving conditions.
