Cross Traffic Alert *70
Cross Traffic Alert(CTA) is a supplementary driver support system to BLIS 71
that is
intended to help the driver detect vehicles crossing behind the vehicle while backing up. The auto-brake subfunction can help the
driver stop the car if there is a risk of collision with an unobserved vehicle.
Examples of areas in which CTA can help the driver detect obstacles while backing up.
CTA supplements BLIS by detecting traffic crossing from the side, e.g. when backing outof a parking space. CTA is primarily designed to detect vehicles, but in certain cases can also detect pedes-trians or smaller objects such as bicycles. CTA is only active when the vehicle is movingbackward or if reverse gear is engaged. If CTA detects that something is approaching your vehicle from the side:
an audible signal will sound from eitherthe left or right speaker, depending onwhich side of your vehicle the object isapproaching from.
an icon will illuminate in the
Park Assist
System graphic on the screen.
an icon will appear in the Park Assist Cam- era's Top view.

If the driver does not pay attention to the warning from CTA and a collision is unavoida- ble, the
auto brake function will intervene to
stop the vehicle and a text will be shown onthe instrument panel to explain why the vehi-cle was braked.

If the vehicle is equipped with Sensus Navigation*, speed-related information will be
provided in the following situations:
In cases where the speed limit is given indirectly, e.g. signs for highways or othermajor roads.
If a previously detected speed sign isdeemed to be no longer valid and no newsign has been passed.

Speed limit and speed camera warnings from Road Sign Information *
There are sub-functions for Road Sign Infor- mation (RSI 81
) that can alert the driver if the
speed limit has been exceeded or if there are speed cameras nearby.
Example of speed camera and speed limit informa- tion in the instrument panel.
Speed Limit WarningWhen Speed Warning is acti- vated, the symbol for the cur-rent speed limit in the instru- ment panel 82
will flash tem-
porarily if that speed is excee- ded.
The driver can be alerted if the vehicle is exceeding a detected speed limit and isapproaching a speed camera.
Speed Limit Warning warns the driver if the
vehicle's speed has exceeded the applicable speed limit or the preset Speed Limiter speed.The warning will be repeated once afterabout 30 seconds in that speed limit area ifthe driver does not slow down. An additional warning will not be provided unless the vehicle's speed is reduced by atleast 5 km/h (3 mph) and then exceeds thespeed limit again or the vehicle enters a new/different speed limit area.
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-func-
tion must be On. Audible alerts are provi-
ded if the vehicle's speed exceeds the speed displayed by Road Sign Informationin the instrument panel.

Driver Alert Control limitations
Driver Alert Control (DAC) functionality may be reduced in certain situations.
In certain situations, the system may provide a warning even if it has not detected a change indriving behavior, e.g.: in strong crosswinds
on grooved road surfaces.
WARNING
In certain cases, driving behavior might not be affected despite the driver's fatigue – when using the Pilot Assist
* function –
resulting in the driver not getting a warning from DAC. It is therefore very important to always stop and take a break at the slightest signof fatigue, regardless of whether the func-tion has issued a warning or not.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera and radar sensor, which has certain generallimitations.

Lane Keeping Aid
Lane Keeping Aid (LKA 88
) is designed to
actively steer the vehicle on freeways, high- ways and other major roads to help the driverreduce the risk of the vehicle unintentionallyveering out of the lane.
Lake Keeping Aid steers the vehicle back into the lane and/or alerts the driver using vibra-tions in the steering wheel. Lane Keeping Aid is active at speeds between 65–200 km/h (40–125 mph) on roads withclearly visible traffic lane marker lines. On narrow roads, the function may be unavail- able and go into standby mode. The functionwill become available again when the roadbecomes sufficiently wide.
A camera monitors the road/traffic lane's marker lines.
Lane Keeping Aid steers the vehicle back into its lane.

Depending on the settings used, Lane Keep- ing Aid functions in different ways:
Assist enabled: When the vehicle
approaches a lane marker line, the func- tion will actively steer the vehicle back intothe lane using light pressure on the steer-ing wheel.
Warning enabled: If the vehicle is about
to move over a lane marker line, the driver will be alerted by vibrations in the steeringwheel.
There is also an option for activating steeringassistance and alerts at the same time.
NOTE
When the direction indicators/turn signals are activated, the Lane Keeping Aid doesnot provide any warning or intervene withsteering.
