81. When ignition is switched on

The chosen setting will be memorised

when the ignition has been switched

off. The alert timing will vary based on

selected alert setting.

Deactivation

The system can only be deactivated

by deactivating the active emergency

braking in the vehicle personalisation

next time, system is activated.

System limitations

Forward collision alert is designed to

warn on vehicles, pedestrians and

cyclists, but may react also to other

objects.

200

Driving and operating

In the following cases, forward

collision alert may not detect a vehicle

ahead or sensor performance is

limited:

● driving on winding or hilly roads
● driving during nighttime
● weather limits visibility, such as

fog, rain, or snow

● the sensor in the windscreen or

the radar unit behind the front

bumper are blocked by snow, ice,

slush, mud, dirt etc.

● the windscreen is damaged or

affected by foreign objects, e.g.

stickers

● the bumper is damaged or

affected by foreign objects, e.g.

license plate support

Active emergency braking

Active emergency braking can help to

reduce the damage and injury from

crashes with vehicles and

pedestrians directly ahead, when the

driver does not actively take action

either by manual braking or by

steering. For vehicles equipped with

camera and radar, active emergency

braking also detects cyclists. Before

the active emergency braking

applies, the driver is warned by the

forward collision alert.
Forward collision alert

198.

Front pedestrian protection

204.

Active emergency braking can be

deactivated in the vehicle

81. Depending on

version, this is only possible at a

standstill. If deactivated,

illuminates in the Driver Information

Centre. When ignition is switched on

next time, system is automatically

activated.
The feature uses various inputs (e.g.

camera sensor, radar sensor) to

calculate the probability of a frontal

collision.

Warning

This system is not intended to

replace the driver's responsibility

for driving the vehicle and looking

ahead. It warns the driver if the

vehicle is at risk of a collision with

the preceding vehicle, a

pedestrian or a cyclist. Just before

the imminent collision, it reduces

the vehicle's speed to avoid a

collision or to limit its severity.
The system may not react to

animals. After a sudden lane

change, the system needs a

certain time to detect the next

preceding vehicle.
The driver must always be ready

to take action and apply the brakes

and steer to avoid collisions.

Functionality

Depending on the vehicle

configuration and the detected

objects, there are several operational

speed ranges.
Active emergency braking operates

up to 50 mph when a pedestrian has

been detected.
On vehicles equipped with radar

sensor and front camera, the active

emergency braking operates up to

50 mph when a stationary vehicle or

a cyclist has been detected.

Driving and operating

201

On vehicles equipped only with front

camera, the active emergency

braking operates from 3 mph to

50 mph or 87 mph when a moving

vehicle has been detected.
On vehicles equipped with radar

sensor and front camera, the active

emergency braking operates from

3 mph to 87 mph when a moving

vehicle has been detected.
The system includes:

● brake preparation system
● emergency automatic braking
● smart brake assist
● forward collision alert
● front pedestrian protection

Brake preparation system

When approaching a vehicle ahead

or a pedestrian so quickly that a

collision is likely, the brake

preparation system slightly

pressurises the brakes. This reduces

the response time, when braking is

requested.
The pressurisation of the brakes may

produce a noise in the brake system.

Emergency automatic braking

After activation of brake preparation

system and just before the imminent

collision, this function automatically

applies braking to reduce the impact

speed of the collision or prohibit a

crash.
If active emergency braking is

applied,

flashes in the Driver

Information Centre. If active

emergency braking is finished,

flashes for a few seconds. During this

time, active emergency braking

cannot be applied if there is a risk of

a further collision.
Forward collision alert

198.

Front pedestrian protection

204.

Depending on version, below a speed

of 19 mph or 31 mph, emergency

automatic braking may slow down the

vehicle to a complete stop. If the

speed exceeds this limit, emergency

automatic braking reduces the speed.

However, the driver must apply the

brake to come to a complete stop.

● Automatic transmission: If the

vehicle comes to a complete

stop, automatic braking is

maintained for a certain time.

Keep the brake pedal depressed

to prevent the vehicle from

starting off again.

● Manual transmission: If the

vehicle comes to a complete

stop, the engine may stall. Keep

the brake pedal depressed to

prevent the vehicle from rolling

away.

Cruise control and adaptive cruise

control will be deactivated when an

emergency automatic braking occurs.
In some cases, the active emergency

braking system may provide an

automatic braking in situations that

seem to be unnecessary. Firmly apply

the accelerator pedal or firmly turn the

steering wheel to override the

automatic braking if the situation and

the surroundings permit.

Warning

Do not rely on the system to brake

the vehicle. Emergency automatic

braking is only applied just before

the collision and it will not brake

202

Driving and operating

outside of its operating speed

range. It only responds to detected

vehicles and pedestrians. For

vehicles equipped with camera

and radar, it also responds to

detected cyclists.

Antilock brake system

182.

Smart brake assist

If the driver brakes, but not sufficiently

to avoid a collision, this system will

supplement the braking. This

assistance will only be provided if the

driver presses the brake pedal.
Smart brake assist will automatically

disengage when the brake pedal is

released.

Driving and operating

Automatic post collision

braking

If an accident is detected, the vehicle

requests automatic post collision

braking. The goal of this function is to

reduce the risk of further collisions if

the driver does not react. The

automatic post collision braking is not

operational if the capability of the

vehicle to trigger and execute the

automatic post collision braking is

unavailable, as it can occur in

destructive accidents or in other

specific accident scenarios.
It is possible to override the automatic

braking by pressing the accelerator

pedal or the brake pedal.

System limitations

The system operates if the following

conditions are fulfilled:

● airbags or seat belt pretensioners

have been deployed by the

collision

● braking system and electric

functions remain continuously

operational during and after

collision

● driver has not depressed brake

pedal or accelerator pedal

Fault

If automatic post collision braking is

not available, the control indicator

illuminates continuously, a

corresponding message appears in

the Driver Information Centre and a

warning chime sounds.
Have the cause of the fault remedied

by a workshop.

Front pedestrian protection

Front pedestrian protection may help

to avoid or reduce the harm caused

by front-end crashes with pedestrians

when driving forward.

The system uses the front camera in

the windscreen and depending on the

vehicle configuration a radar unit in

the front bumper to detect a

pedestrian directly ahead in the path.

Driving and operating

205

Warning

The usage of a license plate

support on the front bumper may

affect the proper radar unit

functionality.
When using a license plate

support, follow the markings and

indications on the front bumper.

Front pedestrian protection can

detect and alert to pedestrians in a

forward gear at speeds between

3 mph and 50 mph. Additionally, it can

automatically brake the vehicle.
During nighttime driving, system

performance is limited.

Danger

Front pedestrian braking does not

provide an alert or automatically

brake the vehicle, unless it detects

a pedestrian.
The system may not detect

pedestrians, including children,

when the pedestrian is not directly

ahead, not fully visible, not

standing upright, or when part of a

group.

The system can only be deactivated

by deactivating the active emergency

braking in the vehicle personalisation

81. When ignition is switched on

next time, system is activated.

Front pedestrian alert

When approaching a detected

pedestrian too quickly, a warning

message is displayed in the Driver

is frozen or if the screen is black.
Performance of the parking assist

system can be reduced due to

heavy loading.
Special conditions apply if there

are taller vehicles in the vicinity

(e.g. off-road vehicles, mini vans,

vans). Object identification and

correct distance indication in the

upper part of these vehicles

cannot be guaranteed.
Objects with a very small reflection

cross-section, e.g. objects of

narrow size or soft materials, may

not be detected by the system.

Parking assist systems do not

detect objects outside the

detection range, e.g. below the

bumper or underneath the vehicle.
During a reverse parking

manoeuvre, the system does not

consider a mounted coupling ball

bar. The driver has to consider this

additional length.

Notice

It is possible that the sensor detects

a non-existing object caused by

echo disturbance from external

acoustic noise or mechanical

misalignments (sporadic false

warnings may occur).
Make sure that the front number

plate is properly mounted (not bent

and no gaps to the bumper on the left

or right side) and the sensors are

firmly in place. The performance of

the parking assist may be reduced if

driver when reversing. It allows views

of the vehicle's surroundings to be

displayed as a nearly 180° picture in

the Info Display, like a bird's eye view.

Warning

The rear view camera does not

replace driver vision. Note that

objects that are outside the

camera's field of view and the

218

Driving and operating

parking assist sensors, e.g. below

the bumper or underneath the

vehicle, are not displayed.
Do not reverse or park the vehicle

using only the rear view camera.
Always check the surrounding of

the vehicle before and during

driving.

The system may use:

● rear view camera, installed

above the rear number plate

● ultrasonic parking sensors in the

rear bumper

The screen in the Info display is

divided into two parts. On the right

there is a view from above the vehicle,

and on the left there is the view from

the rear displayed. If the vehicle is

equipped with ultrasonic parking

sensors, they complete the

information on the view from above

the vehicle.
The area displayed by the rear view

camera is limited. The distance of the

image that appears on the display

differs from the actual distance.

Activation

Rear view camera is activated when

reverse gear is engaged.

Functionality

Different views can be selected in the

left part of the display. Change the

type of view at any time during a

manoeuvre by pressing the touch

field in the left lower zone of the

display and selecting a view from the

view selection menu:

● Standard view
● Auto mode
● Zoom view
● 180° view

The display is immediately updated

with the type of view selected.
Auto mode is activated by default. In

this mode, the system selects the

best view, standard or zoom, to

display according to the information

from the parking sensors.
The state of the system is not kept in

memory when the ignition is switched

off.

Driving and operating

219

Standard view

The area behind the vehicle is

displayed in the screen. The vertical

lines represent the width of the

vehicle with mirrors unfolded. The

direction of the lines changes with the

position of the steering wheel.
The first horizontal line represents a

distance of about 30 cm beyond the

edge of vehicle's rear bumper. The

upper horizontal lines represent

distances of about 1 m and 2 m.
This view is available in auto mode or

in the view selection menu.

Trajectory lane of the vehicle is

shown in accordance with the

steering angle.

Auto mode

This mode is activated by default. If

the vehicle is equipped with ultrasonic

parking sensors, the automatic view

changes from rear view to a view from

above, as an obstacle is approached

during a manoeuvre.
If the vehicle is not equipped with

ultrasonic parking sensors, the view

needs to be changed manually in the

Info Display.

Zoom view

The rear view camera records the

vehicle's surroundings during the

manoeuvre in order to reconstruct a

view from above the vehicle in its near

surroundings.Thus, the vehicle can

be manoeuvred around obstacles

nearby. This view is available with

auto mode or in the view selection

menu.

180° view

The 180° view facilitates reversing

out of a parking bay, making it

possible to see the approach of

vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists.

This view is not recommended for

carrying out a complete manoeuvre.

220

Driving and operating

It is made up of three areas: left 1,

centre 2 and right 3. This view is

available from the view selection

menu only.

Deactivation

The rear view camera is deactivated

when:

● a plug is connected to the power

outlet of the trailer hitch

● a certain forward speed is

exceeded or if reverse gear is not

engaged for 7 seconds

● by pressing the icon

in the left

upper corner of the touch screen

windscreen

● vehicle's integrated navigation

system

● telematics service

If travelling on a road with no speed

restrictions, e.g., on German

motorways, the following sign is

displayed:

If no speed limit information can be

provided, the following sign is

displayed:

If a new speed limit is provided, a

confirmation chime is given. The

confirmation chime can be activated /

deactivated in the vehicle

If the vehicle exceeds the speed limit,

the speed limit displayed after some

time in the Driver Information Centre

flashes and an audible signal is given

after some time. Time of occurrence

varies. Both flashing and audible

signal are terminated after a few

seconds. Due to legal requirements,

the audible signal can only be

deactivated in the vehicle

personalisation until the next time the

ignition is switched on. If the audible

signal is deactivated,

illuminates

for a few seconds.
In case of a failure,

illuminates

permanently. Consult a workshop.

System limitations

Traffic sign assistant may not operate

properly when:

● Driving on winding or hilly roads.
● Driving during nighttime.
● Driving with snow chains.
● Driving with a trailer.
● The area of the windscreen,

where the front camera is

located, is not clean or affected

by foreign items, e.g. stickers.

● The visibility is limited because of

the weather, such as fog, rain, or

snow.

● The sun is shining directly into

the camera lens.

● Traffic signs are completely or

partially covered or difficult to

discern.

● Traffic signs are incorrectly

mounted or damaged.

● Traffic signs do not comply with

the Vienna Convention on Road

Signs and Signals.

● The navigation map data is

outdated.

Caution

The system is intended to help the

driver within a defined speed

range to recognise certain traffic

signs. Do not ignore traffic signs

which are not displayed by the

system.
Do not let this special feature

tempt you into taking risks when

driving.
Always adapt speed regarding

road, traffic and weather

conditions.

Driving and operating

223

The driver assistance systems do

not relieve the driver from full

responsibility for vehicle

operation.
When driving abroad make sure

the vehicle uses the speed unit of

the respective country. If

necessary, select the correct units

in the Info Display.

Lane departure warning

The lane departure warning system

supports the driver to avoid

unintended leaving of the lane. The

front camera observes road edges,

as well as the lane markings between

which the vehicle is driving. If the

vehicle approaches a road edge or a

lane marking, the system warns the

driver.
Unintended lane departure is not

assumed by the system when the turn

lights are operated and during few

seconds after turn lights have been

switched off.
No warning will be issued with a

dynamic driving, i.e. pressure on the

brake or accelerator pedal.
When the system recognises an

unintended lane departure, the

control indicator

flashes yellow.

Warning

This system is a driving aid that

cannot, in any circumstances,

replace the need for vigilance on

the part of the driver.

Activation

If the system is activated, the LED in

the button

is not illuminated. To

activate the system when the system

is deactivated, press

The system is only operable at

vehicle speeds above 40 mph.

Centre, accompanied by a display

message and a warning chime. Seek

the assistance of a workshop.

System limitations

The system performance may be

affected by:

● covered camera by snow, ice,

slush, mud, dirt, or affected by

windscreen damage or foreign

items, e.g. stickers

● close vehicles ahead
● banked roads
● winding or hilly roads
● poor lighting conditions
● sudden lighting changes
● shining sun directly into the

camera lens

● adverse environmental

conditions, e.g. heavy rain, fog,

or snow

● vehicle modifications, e.g. tyres
● roads with poor lane markings

Lane keep assist

Lane keep assist supports the driver

to avoid unintended leaving of the

lane. The front camera observes road

edges, as well as the lane markings

between which the vehicle is driving.

If the vehicle approaches a road edge

or a lane marking, the steering wheel

is gently turned so that the vehicle

turns back into the lane. The driver

will notice a turning movement of the

steering wheel. Turn steering wheel

in same direction, if the system does

not steer sufficiently. Turn steering

wheel gently into opposite direction, if

lane change is intended.
When the system steers to correct the

trajectory of the vehicle,

flashes

yellow in the Driver Information

Centre. Lane keep assist does not

continuously steer the vehicle.
Unintended lane departure is not

assumed by the system when the turn

lights are operated and during few

seconds after turn lights have been

switched off.

If the system detects that the steering

wheel is not held permanently, it

interrupts a correction after a short

time.
When hands-off driving is detected

during a correction a warning

message appears in the Driver

Information Centre, accompanied by

a warning chime. Every further

hands-off detection prolongs the

warning chime duration.
A lane departure warning in the Driver

Information Centre alerts when the

system cannot hold the vehicle within

the lane and immediate driver´s

action is required.

Notice

The system may be switched off if it

detects lanes which are too narrow,

too wide or too curved.

Following preconditions have to be

fulfilled that the system corrects:

● vehicle speed must be between

40 mph and 112 mph

● the turn lights are not activated
● the electronic stability control is

activated and not in operation

226

Driving and operating

A warning message may appear

when the vehicle is travelling in a long

straight lane on a smooth road

surface even if the driver is holding

the steering wheel properly.
Deactivate the system if the system is

disturbed by tar marks, shadows,

road cracks, temporary or

construction lane markings, or other

road imperfections.

Warning

Always keep your attention on the

road and maintain proper vehicle

position within the lane, otherwise

vehicle damage, injury or death

could occur.
The system may not keep the

vehicle in the lane or give an alert,

even if a lane marking is detected.
The steering of the system may

not be sufficient to avoid a lane

departure.
The system may not detect hands-

off driving due to external

influences (road condition and

surface, weather etc). The driver

has full responsibility to control the

vehicle and is always required to

keep the hands on the steering

wheel while driving.
Using the system while towing a

trailer or on slippery roads could

cause loss of control of the vehicle

and a crash. Switch the system off.

Advanced lane keep assist

Warning

The system assists the driver in

managing the steering,

acceleration and braking within

the limits of the laws of physics

and the capabilities of the vehicle.

Some road infrastructure

elements or vehicles present on

the road may not be properly seen

or may be poorly interpreted by the

camera and radar, which may lead

to an unexpected change in

direction, a lack of steering

correction and/or inappropriate

management of the acceleration

or braking.

The activated system observes the

lane markings by using the camera

located at the top of the windscreen.

It steers the vehicle inside the

detected lane. The driver will notice a

turning movement of the steering

wheel.

Thus, the current position of the

vehicle within the lane is kept.
When the vehicle is steered by the

system,

illuminates green in the

Driver Information Centre.
However, the control of the vehicle

can be taken over at any time by the

driver. Therefore, the driver needs to

apply some additional force when

turning the steering wheel.
If the system detects that the driver is

not holding the steering wheel firmly

enough, it triggers a series of gradual

alerts. If the interruption takes too

long, the system will be deactivated.
