280 additional power to wheels that are not spin- ning. This function can also help prevent the wheels from spinning while the vehicle is accelerating.
Engine drag control
Engine drag control (EDC
3
) can help prevent
inadvertent wheel lock, e.g. after downshiftingor using engine braking when driving at lowspeeds on a slippery surface. Inadvertent wheel lock while driving could impair the driver's ability to steer the vehicle.
Trailer Stability Assist *4
Trailer Stability Assist (TSA
5
) is designed to
help stabilize a vehicle that is towing a trailer ifthe vehicle and trailer have begun to sway.
NOTE
Trailer Stability Assist is deactivated if ESC
Sport Mode is activated.

Electronic Stability Control in sport mode The stability system (ESC 6
) is always acti-
vated and cannot be switched off. However, the driver can select
ESC Sport Mode,
which offers more active driving characteris- tics.
With the ESC Sport Mode sub-function
selected, intervention from the system is reduced and more lateral movement is permit-ted, giving the driver more control of the vehi-cle than usual. When
ESC Sport Mode is selected, the func-
tion may seem to be disabled even though it continues to assist the driver.
NOTE
When ESC Sport Mode is selected, the
trailer stabilizer (TSA 7
) is switched off.
ESC Sport Mode also helps provide more
traction, even if the vehicle gets stuck or is driving on a loose surface such as deep snowor loose sand.

BLIS limitations
BLIS 90
functionality may be reduced in cer-
tain situations.
Keep the marked area clean (on both the left and right sides of the vehicle) 91
.
Examples of limitations:
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors may reduce functionality and prevent thesystem from providing warnings.
The BLIS function is automatically deacti-vated if a trailer, bicycle holder or similar isconnected to the vehicle's electrical sys-tem.
For BLIS to function effectively, bicycleholders, luggage racks or similar shouldnot be mounted on the vehicle's towbar.
WARNING
BLIS does not work in sharp curves.
BLIS does not work when the vehicle is being reversed.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's radar sen- sors, which have certain general limita-tions.

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 Camera *
The Park Assist Camera (PAC 106
) can assist
the driver when maneuvering in tight spaces by indicating obstacles using the camerascreen and graphics in the center display.
The Park Assist Camera is a support function that is automatically activated when reversegear is engaged. It can also be started man-ually from the center display.

WARNING
The parking sensors have dead/blind spots where objects cannot bedetected.
Pay particular attention to people andanimals near the vehicle.
Bear in mind that the front end of thevehicle may swing out towards oncom-ing traffic during the parking maneuver.

360° view*
The location of the cameras and their approximate fields of vision.
The 360° view function activates all Park
Assist Cameras and all four sides of the vehi- cle are shown in the center display at once tohelp the driver see what is around the vehiclewhile maneuvering at low speeds. From the 360° view, each camera view can be activated separately:
Tap the screen to select the camera's fieldof vision, e.g. in the area in front/above thefront camera.
The active cameras will beindicated by a camera symbolon the vehicle symbol in thecenter display.
If the vehicle is equipped with Park Assist
System* , the distance to detected obstacles
will be illustrated by fields in different colors. The cameras can be activated automatically or manually.
Back
The rear camera is located above the license plate.
The rear camera shows a wide area behind the vehicle. On certain models, part of the bumperand the towbar (if installed) may be visible. Objects on the center display may appear to be leaning slightly. This is normal.
Front camera
The front Park Assist Camera is located in the grille.
The front camera can be useful when pulling out from areas with limited visibility, such aswhen pulling out of a garage. The front camerais active at speeds up to 25 km/h (16 mph)and is automatically turned off when the vehi-cle exceeds this speed. If the vehicle does not reach a speed of 50 km/h (30 mph) and speed falls below22 km/h (14 mph) within 1 minute after thefront camera turns off, the camera will bereactivated.

Park Assist Camera trajectory lines
*
The Park Assist Cameras (PAC 111
) use trajec-
tory lines and fields on the screen to indicate the vehicle's position in relation to its imme-diate surroundings.
Example of trajectory lines
The trajectory lines show the anticipated tra- jectory for the vehicle's outermost dimensions based on the current position of the steeringwheel and can help simplify parallel parking,backing into tight spaces or attaching a trailer. The lines on the screen are projected as if they were painted lines on the ground behind thevehicle and are directly affected by the way inwhich the steering wheel is turned. Thismakes it possible for the driver to see path thevehicle will take, even if he/she turns thesteering wheel. These lines also indicate the outermost limits that any object (towbar, rearview mirrors, cor-ners of the body, etc.) extends out from thevehicle.
NOTE

When reversing with a trailer that is not electrically connected to the vehi-cle, the screen guide lines show thepath the
vehicle will take – not the
trailer.
The screen does not show guide lineswhen a trailer is electrically connectedto the vehicle's electrical system.
Guide lines are not shown when zoom-ing in.

CAUTION
Bear in mind that when the rearward camera view is selected, the screenonly shows the area behind the vehicle– pay attention to the sides and frontof the vehicle when steering whilereversing.
The same applies to the reverse – payattention to what is happening withthe rear parts of the vehicle when thefront camera view is selected.
Note that the guide lines show theshortest
path – pay extra attention to
ensure that the vehicle sides do notcome in contact with/travel over any-thing when steering while driving for-ward or that the vehicle front movestoward/over anything when steeringwhile reversing.
Trajectory lines in 360° view *
360° view with trajectory lines
In the 360° view, trajectory lines are shown behind, in front of, or to the sides of the vehi-cle, depending on the direction of travel. When driving forward: Front lines
When backing up: Side lines and rear lines
When the front or rear camera is selected, the trajectory lines will be shown regardless of thevehicle's direction of travel. With a side camera selected, the trajectory lines will only be shown if the vehicle is back-ing up.
