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.

Cross Traffic Alert *96
Cross Traffic Alert(CTA) is a supplementary driver support system to BLIS 97
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 Cross Traffic Alert can help the driver detect obstacles while backing up.
The function is primarily designed to detect vehicles, but in certain cases can also detectpedestrians or smaller objects such as bicy-cles. The function is only active when the vehicle ismoving backward or reverse gear is engaged. If the function 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 the function and a collision isunavoidable, the auto brake function will
intervene to stop the vehicle and a text will beshown on the instrument panel to explain whythe vehicle was braked.

limitations
The Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) function with auto brake may have limited functionality in
certain situations. Auto-brake is active atspeeds under 15 km/h (9.3 mph).
WARNING
The auto-brake sub-function can only
detect and apply the brakes for other mov- ing vehicles – not for e.g. stationary obsta-
cles, cyclists or pedestrians.
The function has certain limitations – the sen- sors, for example, cannot "see" through otherparked vehicles or objects blocking the vehi-cle. Below are a few examples of situations in which the function's field of vision may be ini-tially limited and approaching vehicles maytherefore not be detected until they are veryclose to your vehicle:
98 Warning for crossing traffic when the vehicle is backing up.
99 Warning for crossing traffic when the vehicle is backing up.

The vehicle is parked very far into a parking space.
In a diagonal parking space, Cross Traffic Alert may be completely "blind" on one side of your vehicle.
Blind zone.
The function's field of vision.
However, as you back your vehicle slowly out of a parking space, CTA's field of vision changes in relation to the obstructing vehicle/object and its blind zone is reduced.
Examples of further limitations

The
auto brake subfunction only detects
vehicles in motion and may therefore not
"see" and brake for e.g. stationary obsta- cles, a cyclists or a pedestrian.
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensorsmay reduce functionality and prevent thesystem from providing warnings.
CTA is automatically deactivated if atrailer, bicycle holder or similar is con-nected to the vehicle's electrical system.
For CTA to function effectively, bicycleholders, luggage racks or similar shouldnot be mounted on the vehicle's towbar.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's radar sen- sors, which have certain general limita-tions.

Park Assist *
The Park Assist function (PAS 101
) uses sen-
sors to help the driver when maneuvering in tight spaces by indicating distances to obsta-cles using audible signals and graphics in thecenter display.
Display view showing obstacle zones and sensor sectors.
The center display shows an overview of the vehicle in relation to objects that have beendetected. The marked sector indicates where the obsta- cle is located. The closer the vehicle symbol isto a marked sector forward/rearward, thecloser 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 thecloser the obstacle is to the vehicle. The vol-ume of the audio system will be automaticallylowered. Audible signals for obstacles in front and to the sides of the vehicle are active when thevehicle is moving but will cease after the vehi-cle has been stationary for approx. 2 seconds.Audible signals for obstacles behind the vehi-cle will remain active even when the vehicle isstationary. If a detected obstacle is within approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from the front or rear of the vehicle, thetone will become constant and the active sen-sor field closest to the vehicle symbol will befilled in. At distances within approx. 25 cm (0.8 ft) from an obstacle to the sides of the vehicle, anrapid pulsing signal will be given and theactive sector fields will change color fromORANGE to RED. The volume of the Park Assist audible signals can be adjusted while the signal is being givenusing the
>II knob or in the center display's
Top view under
Settings.
NOTE
Besides in the sector closest to the vehicle symbol, audible warnings are only providedfor objects located directly in the vehicle'spath.
