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
Using the blind spot detector (BSD)
with parking assist ant (RC
TA) Activating and deactivating the blind spot
detector (BSD) with parking assistant
(RC T
A)
The blind spot detector with parking assistant
can be switched on and off by accessing the
A s s i s t a n c e s y s t e m s menu on the dash
panel display using the steering wheel con-
trols. If the vehicle is equipped with a multi-
function camera, it can also be accessed by
means of the driver assistance systems key
located on the main beam headlight lever.

Braking and parking
Information about the brakes New brake pads
For the first 200 to 300 km (100 t
o 200
mil
es), new brake pads have not yet reached
their maximum braking capacity, and need to
be “run in” first. However, you can compen-
sate for the slightly reduced braking effect by
applying more pressure on the brake pedal.
Avoid overloading the brakes while running
them in.
Wear
The rate of wear on the brake pads depends
a great deal on how you drive and the condi-
tions in which the vehicle is operated. This is a
particular problem in urban traffic and short
stretches, or with very sporty driving.
Depending on the speed, the braking force
and the environmental conditions (e.g. tem-
perature, air humidity, etc.) noises may be
produced when braking.
Wet roads or road salt
In certain situations (for example, on driving
through flooded areas, in severe downpours
or after washing the vehicle) the braking ac-
tion could be delayed if the discs and pads
are damp, or frozen in winter. In this case the
brakes should be “dried” by pressing the
brake pedal several times. At high speed and with the windscreen wipers
activated, the brak
e pads will briefly t
ouch
the brake discs. This takes place, although
unnoticeable to the driver, at regular intervals
to improve the response time of the brakes
when they are wet.
The effectiveness of the brakes can also be
temporarily reduced if the vehicle is driven for
some distance without using the brakes when
there is a lot of salt on the road in winter. The
layer of salt that accumulates on the discs
and pads can be removed by gently apply-
ing the brakes a few times.
Corrosion
There may be a tendency for corrosion to
form on the discs and dirt to build up on the
brake pads if the vehicle is used infrequently
or the brakes are not used very often.
If the brakes are not used frequently, or if rust
has formed on the disks, it is advisable to
clean off the pads and disks by braking firmly
a few times at a moderately high speed
