General information  
Warning  
Driver assistance systems are developed  
to support the driver and not to replace the  
driver's attention.  
The driver accepts full responsibility when  
driving the vehicle.  
When using driver assistance systems,  
always take care regarding the current traffic  
situation.  
The preset speed can be changed by moving  
the thumb wheel to  
to increase or  
NOTE:  
to decrease the speed. Move thumb wheel  
repeatedly to change speed in small steps, move  
and hold to change speed in large steps.  
To comply with the European general safety  
regulations, some driver assistance systems can  
only be deactivated on the Info Display until the  
next time the ignition is reactivated. The system  
is automatically activated by default every time  
the engine is started.

The cruise control can store and maintain  
speeds above 40 km/h.  
When exceeding the preset speed is not caused  
by depressing the accelerator pedal, e.g., when  
driving down a steep slope, an audible signal is  
given.  
For vehicles with manual transmission, any gear  
has to be selected. For vehicles with automatic

Activation of the functionality  
If all operating conditions are met, OK? is  
displayed.  
Press OK to store the current vehicle speed and  
activate the cruise control.  
On the adaptive cruise control screen, the set  
speed and a road element are displayed in  
green. The accelerator pedal can be released.  
Switching on the system  
It uses a radar unit located in the front bumper to  
detect the vehicles ahead.  
If no vehicle is detected in the driving path,  
the adaptive cruise control will behave like a  
conventional cruise control.  
Alternatively, move the thumb wheel to  
increase or to decrease the speed and store  
to  
this speed. The cruise control is immediately  
activated if the thumbwheel is moved upwards  
or downwards. On the adaptive cruise control  
screen, the set speed and the road element are  
displayed in green.  
The adaptive cruise control automatically  
decelerates the vehicle when approaching a  
slower moving vehicle. It then adjusts the vehicle  
speed to follow the vehicle ahead at the selected  
following distance. The vehicle speed increases  
or decreases to follow the vehicle ahead, but will  
not exceed the set speed. It may apply limited  
braking with activated brake lights.  
Setting speed by the driver  
If the vehicle ahead accelerates or changes  
lane, the adaptive cruise control progressively  
accelerates the vehicle to return to the stored  
set speed. If the driver operates the turn lights  
to overtake a slower vehicle, the adaptive  
cruise control allows the vehicle to temporarily  
approach the vehicle ahead to help passing it.  
However, the set speed will never be exceeded.  
If the vehicle ahead is moving too slowly  
and the selected following distance cannot be  
maintained anymore, a warning chime is given  
and a message is displayed. The message  
prompts the driver to take back control of the  
vehicle. On vehicles with manual transmission,  
the system can brake the vehicle until 30 km/h.  
On vehicles with automatic transmission, the  
system can brake the vehicle until a full stop.  
Depending on the version, the system can  
automatically accelerate the vehicle after a full  
stop.

Fault  
In the event of an adaptive cruise control fault,  
a warning light is illuminated in the Driver  
Information Centre and a warning message  
is displayed in the Driver Information Centre  
accompanied by an audible signal.  
The speed limit recognition may not operate  
correctly if traffic signs do not comply with the  
Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals.  
Have the system checked by a workshop.  
As a safety measure, do not use the system if  
the brake lights are faulty.

The driver must always be ready to take  
action and apply the brakes and steer to  
avoid collisions.  
Do not use the system if the front bumper is  
damaged.  
Activating / deactivating the system  
Active emergency braking is activated /  
deactivated on the Info Display.  
Depending on version, deactivation is only  
possible at a standstill.

Warning  
shown in the Driver Information Centre.  
Depending on version, the system is  
automatically activated by default every time the  
engine is started.  
The radar unit was aligned carefully during  
manufacture.  
Therefore, in the event of a front-end impact,  
do not use the system.  
The front bumper may appear to be intact,  
however the sensor behind may be affected  
and react incorrectly. After an accident,  
consult a workshop to verify and adjust the  
radar unit position.  
Active Emergency  
Braking (AEB)  
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 active  
emergency braking is applied, the driver may be  
warned by the forward collision alert.  
Functionality  
Depending on the vehicle configuration and the  
detected objects, there are several operational  
speed ranges.  
Active emergency braking operates up to 80  
km/h when a pedestrian has been detected.  
On vehicles equipped with radar sensor and  
front camera, the active emergency braking  
operates up to 80 km/h when a stationary  
vehicle or a cyclist has been detected.  
On vehicles equipped only with front camera, the  
active emergency braking operates from 5 km/h  
to 85 km/h when a moving vehicle has been  
detected.  
Warning  
The usage of a licence 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  
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.  
On vehicles equipped with radar sensor and  
front camera, the active emergency braking

to come to a complete stop.  
Selecting the alert sensitivity  
NOTE:  
-
Automatic transmission: If the vehicle comes  
to a complete stop, automatic braking is  
maintained for a certain time.  
If the alert sensitivity setting with the longest  
distance is set, the system warns earlier. This  
increases the safety, but increases the amount  
of alerts if the legal safety distance is not kept.  
To reduce the number of alerts, select a shorter  
alert sensitivity setting.

Forward collision alert  
-
Manual transmission: If the vehicle comes to

The forward collision alert warns the driver if  
there is a risk of collision with the vehicle ahead,  
with a cyclist or a pedestrian.  
Three alert sensitivities can be selected in the  
driver assistance systems menu.  
The chosen setting will be memorised when  
the ignition has been switched off. The alert  
sensitivity will vary based on selected alert  
setting.  
Cruise control will be deactivated when an  
emergency automatic braking occurs.  
Alerting the driver  
The driver is warned by following alerts:  
In some cases, the driver may wish to override  
the automatic braking provided by the active  
emergency braking system. Firmly apply the  
accelerator pedal or firmly turn the steering  
wheel to override the automatic braking if the  
situation and the surroundings permit.  
-
-
Level 1: A warning message is displayed  
in the Driver Information Centre, when the  
distance to the vehicle ahead gets too small.  
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.  
Level 2: A warning message is displayed in  
the Driver Information Centre and a warning  
chime sounds, when a collision is imminent  
and immediate driver's action is required.  
Warning  
Do not rely on the system to brake the  
vehicle. Active emergency braking will not  
brake automatically outside of its operating  
speed range.  
-
Level 3: Depending on version, the vehicle  
may produce a short brake jerk to confirm the  
risk of collision. The immediate driver's action  
is required.  
Automatic braking  
Just before the imminent collision, this function  
automatically applies limited braking to reduce  
the impact speed of the collision or prohibit a  
crash.  
Operation conditions  
Warning  
When approaching a vehicle ahead too  
rapidly, a level 2 alert may be displayed  
without a level 1 alert before.  
Level 1 alerts depend on the alert sensitivity  
set. This alert type is only displayed in case of  
moving vehicles. At lower speed it is disabled.

Vehicle Stability  
Assistance System  
Electronic Stability  
Control (ESC) and  
Traction Control system  
(TC)  
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) improves  
driving stability when necessary, regardless of  
the type of road surface or tyre grip.  
As soon as the vehicle starts to swerve  
(understeer / oversteer), engine output is  
reduced and the wheels are braked individually.  
ESC operates in combination with the Traction  
Control system (TC). It limits the spinning of the  
driven wheels.  
Warning  
Anti-Slip Regulator (ASR)  
Do not let this special safety feature tempt  
you into taking risks when driving.  
Adapt speed to the road conditions.  
Anti-slip regulation (or traction control) optimises  
traction by using engine braking and by applying  
the brakes on the driving wheels to avoid one  
or more wheels spinning. It also enhances the  
vehicle's directional stability.  
If there is a difference between the vehicle’s  
trajectory and the path desired by the driver, the  
dynamic stability control system automatically  
uses engine braking and the brakes on one or  
more wheels to return the vehicle to the desired  
path, within the limits of the laws of physics.  
These systems are activated automatically every  
time the vehicle is started.

TC can be deactivated via the Info Display at

Side Blind Spot Alert  
(SBSA)  
The side blind spot alert system detects and  
reports objects on either side of the vehicle,  
within a specified blind spot zone. The system  
displays a visual alert in each exterior mirror,  
when detecting objects that may not be visible in  
the interior and exterior mirrors.  
NOTE:  
Normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt  
by slight vibrations of the brake pedal.  
The fixed illumination of this warning lamp  
signals that there is a fault with the ABS.  
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive  
carefully at a moderate speed.  
This warning lamp, when lit together with the  
STOP and ABS warning lamps, accompanied by  
a message and an audible signal, indicates an  
EBFD malfunction.  
When the system detects a vehicle in the side  
blind zone while driving forwards, an LED will  
illuminate in the relevant exterior mirror.  
The LED comes on immediately when being  
passed.  
Side blind spot alert uses some of the parking  
assist sensors which are located in the front and  
rear bumper on both sides of the vehicle.  
You must stop the vehicle.  
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so and switch off  
the ignition.

edge of the bumper or under the bumper are  
not displayed on the screen.  
Warning  
Under certain circumstances, various  
reflective surfaces on objects or clothing as  
well as external noise sources may cause the  
system to fail to detect obstacles.  
Special attention must be paid to low  
obstacles, which can damage the lower part  
of the bumper.  
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 must consider this  
additional length.  
Depending on the load of the vehicle, the  
inclination of the vehicle may be changed  
including the view of the camera.  
NOTE:  
Caution  
In the case of a severe failure of the  
vehicle with the need to stop the vehicle, the  
system is deactivated.  
In the case of a gearbox failure, the parking  
assist system is not active, when reverse  
gear is engaged.  
In the case of a loudspeaker failure, the  
audible signals may not be given.  
Performance of the system can be reduced  
when sensors are covered, e.g. by ice or  
snow.  
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 the licence plate is bent  
or a licence plate support is used.

Driver's Attention  
Assistance System  
The Driver's Attention Assistance System  
monitors the driving time and the vigilance of the  
driver. Monitoring the vigilance of the driver is  
based on the trajectory variations of the vehicle  
compared to the lane markings.  
If the vehicle speed drops below 65 km/h, the  
system is paused. The driving time is counted  
again once the speed is above 65 km/h.  
The trajectory lane of the vehicle is shown in  
accordance with the steering angle.  
Depending on version, the outer guidelines can  
also be static and the gap between both lines  
represent the vehicle width including the exterior  
mirrors.The inner curved guidelines represent  
the maximum steering angle in either direction.  
The system cannot replace the need for  
vigilance on the part of the driver.

Driver Drowsiness  
Detection with Front View  
Camera  
The system monitors the driver's level of  
vigilance at speeds above 65 km/h.  
The system may perform a learning procedure  
for up to 30 minutes after the start of the  
monitoring. During this period, the driver's  
individual driving behaviour is analysed and no  
alert is given. The camera detects variations in  
trajectory compared to the lane markings.  
If the trajectory of the vehicle suggests a certain  
level of drowsiness or inattention by the driver,  
an alert is triggered.  
In certain driving conditions such as poor road  
surface or strong winds etc., the system may  
give alerts independent of the driver's level of  
vigilance.  
System limitations  
In the following situations, the system with front  
camera may not operate properly or even not  
operate at all:  
The visual signs of drowsiness or distraction  
may be the following:  
-
driver diverts his gaze longer or more  
frequently away from traffic  
-
poor visibility caused by inadequate lighting  
of the roadway, falling snow, heavy rain,  
dense fog etc. dazzle caused by headlamps  
of oncoming vehicles, low sun, reflections  
on damp roads, leaving a tunnel, alternating  
shade and light etc.  
-
-
eyelids closing or blinking  
microsleep patterns  
If the system detects certain facial movements,  
e.g. a complete closure of the eyes for a certain  
time, or analyses a certain level of drowsiness or  
distraction, an alert is triggered.
