crashes with vehicles, pedestrians and

cyclists directly ahead, when the driver

does not actively take action either by

manual braking or by steering.

Before the active emergency braking

applies, the driver may be warned by the

forward collision warning.

The feature uses various inputs (e.g.

camera sensor, brake pressure, vehicle

speed) to calculate the probability of a

frontal collision.

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.

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 also react on animals.

However, animals smaller than 0.5 m

or objects on the road may not be

detected.

Note

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.

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.

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.

operating speed range.

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.

Below a speed of 30 mph, automatic

braking may slow down the vehicle to

a complete stop. If the speed exceeds

this limit, automatic braking may reduce

the speed by a maximum of 30 mph.

However, the driver must apply the brake

to come to a complete stop.

Automatic transmission: If the vehicle

comes to a complete stop, autmatic

braking is maintained for a certain time.

Keep the brake pedal depressed to

prevent the vehicle from starting off

again.

an automatic braking occurs. In some

cases, the driver may wish to override

Functionality

Depending on the vehicle configuration

and the detected objects, there are

several operational speed ranges.

Active emergency braking operates from

5 mph to 50 mph when a pedestrian or a

cyclist has been detected.

Emergency brake assist will

automatically disengage when the brake

pedal is released.

Operation conditions

Caution

The vehicle is designed to drive

driving off-road occasionally.

However, do not drive on terrain where

the vehicle could be damaged due

to obstacles, such as stones among

others and on terrain with steep inclines

and poor grip.

Mud mode

This mode allows considerable wheel

spin at start-up for the wheel with

Simultaneously, the wheel with the most

grip is provided with the most torque

possible.

This mode is active up to a speed of 50

mph.

Caution

When driving off-road, sudden motion

and manoeuvres can cause a collision

or losing control.

Sand mode

Standard mode

This mode allows a small amount of

simultaneous wheel spin on the two drive

wheels, enabling the vehicle to advance

and reduce the risk of sinking.

This mode is calibrated for a low level of

wheel spin, based on the different types

of grip generally encountered in normal

day to day driving.

optimise traction in low-grip conditions

(snow, mud and sand).

Warning

The rear view camera does not replace

driver vision. Note that objects that are

outside the camera's field of view and

the 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.

Low curbs and surface irregularities, e.g.

on construction zones, are not detected

by the system. The driver accepts

responsibility.

Caution

Rear Vision Camera

(RVC)

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

must consider this additional length.

The system uses:

● rear view camera, mounted above the

rear number plate

● ultrasonic parking sensors in the rear

bumper

divided into three parts:

● right side: there is a fixed menu and a

it is important to keep the lense of

Rinse the lenses with water and wipe

with a soft cloth.

Do not clean the lenses with a steam-

Driver Drowsiness

Detection (DDD)

The driver drowsiness detection monitors

the vigilance of the driver. Monitoring the

vigilance of the driver is based on the

changes in the driver's steering behavior.

The system cannot replace the need for

vigilance on the part of the driver. Taking

a break is recommended as soon as

feeling tired. Do not drive when feeling

tired.
