Driving and operating

155

Additionally the driver gets notified by

a flashing red LED stripe which is

projected on the windscreen in the

driver's field of view.

A precondition is that forward collision

alert is not deactivated by pressing

V on the steering wheel.

The control indicator A changes to

yellow when the distance to a

preceding moving vehicle gets too

small or when approaching another

vehicle too rapidly.

Caution

Activation

The colour lighting of this control

indicator does not correspond to

local traffic laws on following

distance. The driver bears full

responsibility for maintaining safe

following distance according to

applicable traffic rules, weather

and road conditions etc. at all

times.

Forward collision alert uses the front

camera system in the windscreen to

detect a vehicle directly ahead, in

your path, within a distance of approx.

60 metres.

Forward collision alert operates

automatically above 25 mph, if it is not

deactivated by pressing V, see

below.

Simultaneously a warning chime

sounds. Depress the brake pedal and

steer the vehicle, if it is required by the

situation.

Selecting the alert sensitivity

The alert sensitivity can be set to

near, medium or far.

When the time to a potential collision

with a vehicle in front gets too small

and a collision is imminent, the driver

gets notified by a flashing red LED

stripe which is projected on the

windscreen in the driver's field of

view.

Alerting the driver

The vehicle ahead control indicator

A illuminates green in the instrument

cluster when the system has detected

a vehicle in the driving path.

on winding roads

when weather limits visibility,

such as fog, rain, or snow

when the sensor is blocked by

snow, ice, slush, mud, dirt,

windscreen damage or affected

by foreign items, e.g. stickers

9 Warning

Forward collision alert is just a

warning system and does not

apply the brakes. When

approaching a vehicle ahead too

rapidly, it may not provide you

enough time to avoid a collision.

●

Press V; the current setting is shown

in the Driver Information Centre.

Press V again to change the alert

The driver accepts full

Following distance

indication

responsibility for the appropriate

following distance based on traffic,

weather and visibility conditions.

The following distance indication

displays the distance to a preceding

moving vehicle. The system uses the

front camera in the windscreen to

detect the distance of a vehicle

directly ahead in your lane. It is active

at speeds above 25 mph.

The complete attention of the

driver is always required while

driving. The driver must always be

ready to take action and apply the

brakes.

Driving and operating

157

When a preceding vehicle is detected

ahead, the distance is indicated in

seconds, displayed on a page in the

Driver Information Centre 3 96. Press

MENU on the turn signal lever to

select Vehicle Information

Menu ? and turn the adjuster

wheel to choose following distance

indication page.

Activation

Parking assist

When reverse gear is engaged, the

system is activated automatically.

The front parking assist can also be

activated at a low speed by pressing

r.

An illuminated LED in the parking

assist button indicates that the

system is ready to operate.

An obstacle is indicated by a buzzing

sound. The interval between the

sounds becomes shorter as the

vehicle gets closer to the obstacle.

When the distance is less than

30 cm, the buzzing is continuous.

The parking assist makes parking

easier by measuring the distance

between the vehicle and obstacles,

and giving acoustic signals. It is the

driver, however, who bears full

responsibility for the parking

manoeuvre.

The system consists of four ultrasonic

parking sensors in the rear bumper. If

the vehicle is equipped with a front

parking assist the system consists of

four additional ultrasonic parking

sensors in the front bumper.

The minimum indicated distance is

0.5 s.

If there is no vehicle ahead or the

vehicle ahead is out of range, two

dashes will be displayed: -.- s.

158

Driving and operating

If r is pressed once within an

ignition cycle, the front parking assist

is reactivated if the vehicle speed

goes below a certain value and if the

vehicle speed has not exceeded

16 mph beforehand.

Important hints for using the

parking assist systems

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.

9 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 has to be paid to

low obstacles which can damage

the lower part of the bumper. If

such obstacles leave the detection

area of the sensors during

approach of the vehicle, a

continuous warning tone will

sound.

Deactivation

Objects with a very small reflection

Deactivate the system by pressing

cross-section, e.g. objects of

r.

narrow size or soft materials, may

not be detected by the system.

The LED in the button will go out and

Park Assist Off will be displayed in the

Driver Information Centre.

The system is deactivated

automatically at a certain speed.

Parking assist systems do not

detect objects outside the

detection range.

Notice

Fault

The parking assist system

automatically detects factory-fitted

towing equipment. It is deactivated

when the connector is plugged in.

In the event of a fault in the system, a

vehicle message is displayed in the

Driver Information Centre.

Additionally, a vehicle message is

displayed in the Driver Information

Centre if a malfunction of the system

due to temporary conditions, e.g.

snow covered sensors is detected.

The sensor may detect a non-

existent object (echo disturbance)

caused by external acoustic or

mechanical disturbances.

Caution

Performance of the system can be

reduced when sensors are

covered, e.g. by ice or snow.

Performance of the parking assist

system can be reduced due to

heavy loading.

objects that are outside the

camera's field of view and the

advanced parking assist sensors,

e.g. below the bumper or

underneath the vehicle, are not

displayed.

The camera is mounted in the tailgate

Fuel

Fuel for petrol engines

Use of fuel that does not comply to

EN 228 or E DIN 51626-1 or

equivalent can lead to deposits or

engine damage.

Only use unleaded fuel that complies

with European standard EN 228 or

E DIN 51626-1 or equivalent.

The engine is capable of running with

fuel that contains up to 10% ethanol

(e.g. named E10).

Fault

Caution

The lane departure warning system

may not operate properly when:

Use of fuel with a lower octane

rating than the lowest possible

rating could lead to uncontrolled

combustion and engine damage.
