WARNING
The driver support system only issues a warning for obstacles detected by its radarsensor – thus, a warning may come after adelay or not at all.
Never wait for a warning or assistance. Apply the brakes when necessary.
NOTE
Driver support can keep the vehicle sta- tionary for no more than 5 minutes – afterthat time the parking brake is applied andthe function is deactivated. The parking brake must be released before driver support can be reactivated.
Deactivation of the Auto-hold brake function
In certain situations, auto-hold will be deacti- vated when the vehicle is at a standstill andthe function will go into standby mode. This means that the brakes will be released and the vehicle could begin to roll. The driver mustactively apply the brakes to keep the vehiclestationary. This can occur if:
The driver depresses the brake pedal.
The parking brake is applied.
The gear selector is moved to the
P, N or
R position.
The driver puts Adaptive Cruise Control or Pilot Assist in standby mode.
Auto Activate Parking BrakeThe parking brake will be applied if the func-tion is keeping the vehicle stationary using thebrakes and:
The driver opens the door or unbuckleshis/her seat belt.
The function has kept the vehicle at astandstill for more than approx. 5 minutes.
The brakes overheat.
The driver switches off the engine.

Lane Keeping Aid
Lane Keeping Aid (LKA 69
) 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.

is always active, but the func-
tion's warning distance can be adjusted.
NOTE
The City Safety function cannot be deacti- vated. It is activated automatically eachtime the engine/electric motor is started.
The alert distance determines the sensitivity of the system and regulates the distance atwhich the light, sound and brake pulsationswill be activated. To select warning distance:
1. Select
SettingsMy CarIntelliSafein the center display's Top view.
2. Under
City Safety Warning, tap Late,Normal or Early to set the desired warn-
ing distance.
If the driver feels that the
Early setting is giv-
ing too many warnings or finds them irritating, the
Normal or Late warning distance settings
can be selected instead. If the driver feels that the warnings are too fre- quent and distracting, the warning distancecan be reduced. This will reduce the total number of warnings, but it will also result inCity Safety providing warnings at a later stage. The
Late warning distance setting should
therefore only be used in exceptional cases, such as when a more dynamic driving style ispreferred.

Rear Collision Warning *85
The Rear Collision Warning 86
(RCW) function
can help the driver avoid rear-end collisions from vehicles approaching from behind.
The function can alert drivers of following vehi- cles of the risk of a collision by rapidly flashingthe turn signals. If, at a speed below 30 km/h (20 mph), the function detects that the vehicle is in dangerof being hit from behind, the seat belt tension-ers may tension the front seat belts. TheWhiplash Protection System will also be acti-vated in a collision. Immediately before a collision from behind, the function may also activate the brakes inorder to reduce the forward acceleration of thevehicle during the collision. However, thebrakes will only be applied if your vehicle isstationary. The brakes will be immediatelyreleased if the accelerator pedal is depressed. The function is automatically activated each time the engine is started.
WARNING
The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate drivingand help make it safer – it cannot han-dle all situations in all traffic, weatherand road conditions.

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.

Park Assist (PAS 102
) behaves differently
depending on which part of the vehicle is approaching an obstacle.
Front camera
The warning signal has a continuous tone when the obstacle is less than approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from thevehicle.
The Park Assist system's front sensors are automatically activated when the engine isstarted. They are active at speedsbelow 10 km/h (6 mph). The distance monitored extends approx. 80 cm (2.5 ft) in front of the vehicle.
NOTE
The Park Assist system is deactivated when the parking brake is used or when P
is selected on vehicles with automatictransmission.
CAUTION
When installing auxiliary lights: Make sure these do not obscure the sensors – theauxiliary lights could be perceived as anobstacle.
Back
The warning signal has a continuous tone when the obstacle is less than approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from thevehicle.
