Driver assistance systems
●
On roads with embedded metal objects
such as train or tram tracks.
●
On roads with loose gravel.
Pay special attention when using ACC in the
following situations:
On curves
The ACC may not detect the vehicle in front
on a curve, or may regulate the distance from
vehicles in other lanes
.
Vehicles outside the sensor zone
In the following situations the ACC may not
react, or may react slowly or inappropriately:
●
Vehicles that are not aligned while driving
or that are outside the sensor's detection
area, such as motorcycles
●
Vehicles that move into your lane, a short
distance from your vehicle
.
●
Vehicles with loads or accessories that pro-
trude from the sides, rear or roof.
Objects that are not detected
The ACC function only detects and reacts to
vehicles moving in the same direction. There-
fore it does not detect:
●
People
●
Animals
●
Vehicles travelling in the opposite direction
or crossing the road.
●
Other stationary obstacles
The ACC may not react to stationary vehi-
cles. If, for example, a vehicle detected by the
ACC turns or moves over and there is a sta-
tionary vehicle in front of it, the ACC will not
react to the second vehicle
›››
.
WARNING
Using the ACC in the above situations can
cause serious accidents and injuries, and
you could break the law.
Troubleshooting

Proactive speed adjustment
Introduction
The proactive speed adjustment adapts the
speed to the speed limitations detected and
to the road layout (curves, crossings, round-
abouts, etc.).
Proactive speed adjustment is an additional
function of the ACC
and uses
the traffic signal detection system
›››
and the navigation data of the in-
fotainment system.
Proactive speed adjustment is available de-
pending on the equipment, although not in all
countries.
WARNING
The proactive speed adjustment smart
technology cannot overcome the limits im-
posed by the laws of physics and it only
works within the limits of the system. Never
allow the enhanced convenience of this
function induce you to take any risk that
compromises safety. If used negligently or
involuntarily, it may cause serious acci-
dents and injuries. The system is not a re-
placement for driver awareness.
●
Always adapt your speed to suit visibility,
weather, road and traffic conditions.
●
Always pay attention to traffic and al-
ways keep the vehicle environment in mind.
●
Always be prepared to adjust the speed
yourself. If the traffic sign recognition sys-
tem is not working properly or the naviga-
tion data is not updated, the speed may
change unexpectedly and suddenly or may
not be suitable for the current traffic situa-
tion. In addition, the speed adjusted by the
system may not suit your driving style.
●
Always be prepared to adjust the speed
yourself. If you drive without any active gui-
ded route, if you leave the route calculated
by the navigation system or if the position
of the vehicle cannot be determined cor-
rectly because the GPS does not provide
accurate data, the speed may change un-
expectedly and suddenly or may not adapt
to the current traffic situation.
●
Always use up to date navigation data.
●
Always take into account the maximum
permitted speed. In the case of speed limi-
tations that are not included in the naviga-
tion data, the maximum permitted speed
may be exceeded.
Note
Also note the information related to the
ACC relevant to safety
.
Limitations of the proactive speed
adjustment
In addition to the limitations of the traffic sig-
nal detection system
and of the
limitations of the ACC, proactive speed ad-
justment has the following limitations inherent
to the system:
●
Proactive speed adjustment only recogni-
ses traffic signals that show a speed limita-
tion. The proactive speed adjustment does
not take into account, above all, the rules on
priority of passage or traffic lights.
●
On roads that are not included in the navi-
gation data, or that are included with little
accuracy, proactive speed adjustment is not
available.
●
If a speed limitation is notified based on the
navigation data without it being detected by
the traffic signal detection system, the indica-
ted speed will be adjusted to the speed that
was saved the last time.
●
Proactive speed adjustment is not available
for speed limitations below approx. 20 km/h
(approx. 15 mph). In this case, a relevant mes-
sage is displayed on the instrument panel
screen.

the reason and the speed to which the vehi-
cle will adjust due to said limitation.
Adjustment due to a speed limitation.
Adjustment due to a road layout.
In the event of adjustment due to a speed lim-
itation, the detected speed will be saved as
the new desired speed. In the event of adjust-
ment due to the road layout, the vehicle will
accelerate again after leaving the reason for
the adjustment behind and the speed will be
adjustment to that which has been saved.
The speeds indicated for curves depend on
the driving profile

If you adjust the indicated speed excessively,
the proactive speed adjustment is interrup-
ted.
Note
●
When a speed limitation is recognised,
the proactive speed adjustment also
+
–
adapts the saved speed even if the ACC is
switched off. However, it will not adjust.
●
If the speed of travel considerably ex-
ceeds the speed limit detected by the traf-
fic signal detection system, a relevant
warning is displayed in the instrument pan-
el display.
●
In the event of joining a highway without
speed limitation, the recommended speed
is automatically saved as the desired
speed. If a higher speed has previously
been saved for a motorway without a
speed limit, this is used instead of the rec-
ommended speed.
Troubleshooting
A message is displayed indicating that
proactive speed adjustment is not current-
ly available or not in your country.

Driving
Lane Assist
Introduction
The Lane Assist System helps the driver
stay in his/her lane within the physical lim-
its of the system. This function is not suita-
ble and is not designed to keep the vehicle
automatically in the lane.
Using the camera located in the windscreen,
the Lane Assist system detects the limits (lane
lines) dividing the lanes in which the vehicle is
travelling. If the vehicle gets too close to the
detected lane limits, the system alerts the
driver through a corrective motion of the
steering wheel. The driver can cancel the
steering corrective action at any time.
No warning is produced with the turn signals
activated, given that the Lane Assist system
understands that a lane change is required.
System limits
Use the Lane Assist system only on large,
well-maintained motorways and highways.
The system is not available under the follow-
ing conditions:
●
The driving speed allowed is below approx.
55 km/h (30 mph).
●
The system has not detected any lane
lines.
●
On tight bends.
●
Temporarily in very sporty driving situations.
WARNING
The intelligent technology in the Lane As-
sist system cannot change the limits im-
posed by the laws of physics and by the
very nature of the system. Careless or un-
controlled use of the Lane Assist system
may cause accidents and injury. The sys-
tem is not a replacement for driver aware-
ness or manoeuvres when driving.
●
Always adapt your speed and the dis-
tance to the vehicles ahead in line with visi-
bility, weather conditions, the condition of
the road and the traffic situation.
●
Always keep your hands on the steering
wheel so it can be turned at any time. The
responsibility of staying in the lane is al-
ways the driver's.
●
The Lane Assist system does not detect
all road markings. The road surfaces, road
structures or objects in poor condition can
be incorrectly detected as road markings
under certain circumstances by the Lane
Assist system. Immediately counter any un-
wanted intervention of the system.
●
Please observe the indications on the in-
strument panel and act as is necessary if
the traffic situation permits.
●
In the following situations there may be
undesired interventions of the system or it
may be that the system does not intervene
at all. In these situations, special attention
is required from the driver and, where ap-
propriate, the temporary deactivation of
the lane assist warning system:
–
In very sporty driving situations.
–
In adverse weather conditions and
roads in poor condition.
–
When passing through areas undergo-
ing works.
–
Before gradient changes of grade and
river beds.
●
Always observe the vehicle surroundings
carefully and drive proactively.
●
When the area of vision of the camera
becomes dirty, covered or is damaged, the
Lane Assist system function can be affec-
ted.

Switching the lane assist system on or off
In some countries, the Lane Assist System is
always activated when the ignition is switch-
ed on. The connection status is shown in the
Driver assistance
menu of the Infotainment
system or the driver assistance systems menu
after pressing the corresponding button. The
Lane Assist system can be activated and de-
activated in these menus.
The Lane Assist system is ready to actively in-
tervene as of approximately 60 km/h (35
mph) and if it has detected the lane limits
(system status: active). The control lamp
emits a green light. When the system inter-
venes by rectifying the direction, the control
lamp
emits a yellow light.
If the control lamp of the instrument panel
display is off, it means that the Lane Assist
system is connected but not ready to inter-
vene or it is disconnected.
When you activate a turn signal, the system
temporarily goes into a passive state in order
to allow manual lane change.
An energetic rotation or rectification of the
steering wheel by the driver causes the sys-
tem to temporarily switch to a passive state.
2
Driver intervention prompt
If the steering is not corrected manually, the
system prompts the driver through an indica-
tion on the instrument panel display and
acoustic warnings.
If no reaction is obtained from the driver, the
system switches to a passive state.
Regardless of the steering manoeuvres,
through an indication on the instrument panel
display and acoustic warnings, the driver is
also prompted to drive through the centre of
the lane if the steering correction lasts more
than reasonable.
Steering wheel vibration
The following situations may result in a steer-
ing wheel vibration:
●
The lane ceases to be recognised during a
sudden intervention in the direction of the
system.
It is also possible to select steering wheel vi-
bration in the
Assistants
menu of the infotain-
ment system. In this case, when a vehicle with
Lane Assist switched on crosses over a detec-
ted lane marking, the steering wheel will vi-
brate.

Driving Assist (Travel Assist)
Introduction
The driving assist (Travel Assist) combines
adaptive cruise control (ACC) and adap-
tive lane guidance. Within the limitations
of the system, the vehicle can maintain a
distance from the vehicle in front that is
preselected by the driver and remain in
the preferred position within the lane.
Travel Assist uses the same sensors as Adap-
tive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane Assist.
Therefore, carefully read the information
about the ACC
›››
and the Lane
Assist
and take into account the
limitations of the systems and the indications
given in the information.
Speed range
Travel Assist adjusts at speeds between ap-
prox. 30 km/h (approx. 20 mph) and approx.
210 km/h (approx. 130 mph); in the case of
the adaptive lane guidance function, be-
tween 0 km/h (0 mph) and approx. 250 km/h
(approx. 155 mph).
Driving with Travel Assist
Travel Assist automatically controls the ac-
celerator pedal, the brakes and the steering.
In addition, Travel Assist may, within its limita-
tions, decelerate the vehicle until it stops be-
hind another that stops and automatically
starts again.
You can override assisted adjustment at all
times.
How to know if the vehicle is fitted with
Travel Assist
The vehicle is fitted with Travel Assist if the
multifunction steering wheel has the button
Driver intervention prompt
If you remove your hands from the steering
wheel, after a few seconds the system asks
you to take over the steering with an indica-
tion on the instrument panel display and
acoustic warnings.
WARNING
The Travel Assist smart technology cannot
overcome the limits imposed by the laws of
physics and it only works within the limits of
the system. If Travel assist is used negli-
gently or involuntarily, it may cause serious
accidents and injuries. The system is not a
replacement for driver awareness.
●
Bear in mind the system limitations and
the indications regarding the control of the
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane
Assist.
●
Adapt your speed and safety distance to
the vehicle in front of you at all times to suit
visibility, weather, road and traffic condi-
tions.
●
Do not use Travel Assist when visibility is
bad, on steep roads, on windy roads or in
slippery circumstances (such as snow, ice,
rain or loose gravel), or on flooded roads.
260
Driver assistance systems
●
Do not use Travel Assist offroad or on
roads where the surface is not firm. Travel
Assist has been designed for use on paved
roads only.
●
Travel Assist does not react to people or
animal or vehicles crossing your path or
which approach you head-on in the same
lane.
●
Brake immediately if Travel Assist does
not slow down enough.
●
Brake immediately when a braking mes-
sage is displayed on the instrument panel
screen.
●
Brake when, after an indication to brake,
the vehicle rolls without it being desired.
●
Keep your hands on the steering wheel at
all times, to ensure you have control over
the steering at all times. The driver is al-
ways responsible for keeping the vehicle in
its own lane.
●
If possible, do not wear gloves while driv-
ing. The system could interpret this as no
driving activity.
●
If driver intervention is requested on the
instrument panel display, immediately re-
sume control of the vehicle.
●
Always be prepared to adjust the speed
yourself.

Emergency Assist
How it works
Emergency Assist can detect whether
there is inactivity by the driver and can au-
tomatically keep the car within the lane
and stop it altogether if necessary. This
way the system can actively help avoid an
accident or reduce its consequences.
Emergency Assist uses the same sensors as
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane As-
sist. Therefore, carefully read the information
about the ACC
›››
and the Lane
Assist
and take into account the
limitations of the systems and the indications
given in the information.
If the Emergency Assist detects that the driver
does not perform any activity, it requests that
262
Driver assistance systems
the driver take control of the vehicle. To do
this, it emits optical and acoustic warnings
and causes braking jolts. The seat belt is
tightened (depending on the equipment). The
system slows down the vehicle and keeps it in
its lane.
You can cancel the adjustment at any time
by moving the steering wheel, over-acceler-
ating or braking.
While the emergency assistant is in operation,
other road users are warned as follows:
●
The hazard warning lights are switched on
soon after.
●
The horn sounds (depending on the speed).
The following happens as soon as the vehicle
stops:
●
All doors are unlocked.
●
The interior lighting comes on.
●
Depending on the features, an emergency
call (eCall) is made.
●
The electronic parking brake and gear shift
position
P
are engaged.
Connecting and disconnecting
Emergency Assist can be connected and dis-
connected in the infotainment system, in the
assist services menu
.
When connected, the Emergency Assist is on-
ly activated if the following requirements are
met:
●
The Travel Assist or the Lane Assist are
switched on.
●
The system has detected a road lane mark-
ing on both sides of the vehicle.
Troubleshooting
Emergency Assist not available
The control lamp switches on yellow. A rele-
vant warning is also displayed on the instru-
ment panel screen.
●
The field of vision of the camera is dirty.
Clean the windscreen.
●
The visibility of the camera is diminished
due to weather factors, e.g. snow, or deter-
gent residue or some coating. Clean the
windscreen.
●
The visibility of the camera is diminished
due to accessories or adhesives. Leave the
area around the camera’s field of vision free.
●
The camera has been altered or damaged,
e.g. because of damage caused to the wind-
screen. Check for visible damage.
●
There is a fault or a defect. Turn the drive
system off and on again.
●
If the fault continues, disconnect the Emer-
gency Assist and consult a specialised work-
shop.
WARNING
The smart technology fitted into the Emer-
gency Assist cannot overcome the limits
imposed by the laws of physics; it only
works within the limits of the system. The
driver is responsible for driving the vehicle.
●
Adapt your speed and safety distance to
the vehicle in front of you at all times to suit
the visibility, weather, road and traffic con-
ditions.
●
The Emergency Assist cannot always
avoid accidents or serious injuries by itself.
●
If possible, do not wear gloves while driv-
ing. The system could interpret this as no
driving activity.
●
If the radar sensor or the camera are cov-
ered or have been altered or damaged, the
system may intervene on the brakes or on
the direction in an inappropriate manner.
●
The Emergency Assist does not react to
people or animal or vehicles crossing your
path or which approach you head-on in the
same lane.
WARNING
If the Emergency Assist Intervenes inoppor-
tunely, serious accidents and injuries may
occur.

263
Driving
●
If the vehicle behaves differently than ex-
pected, interrupt the intervention of the
Emergency Assist by over-accelerating,
braking or moving the steering wheel.
●
Do not use Travel Assist or Lane Assist.
Have the system checked by a specialised
workshop.
Note
●
Automatic interventions by the Emergen-
cy Assist on the brakes may be interrupted
by pressing the accelerator or brake or by
moving the wheel.
●
Hazard warning lights that come on auto-
matically can be switched off by pressing
the accelerator or the break, moving the
steering wheel or pressing the hazard
warning light switch.
●
If this occurs, the Emergency Assist may
decelerate the vehicle until it comes to a
complete stop.
●
When the Emergency Assist is activated,
it is only available again after the ignition
has been switched off and back on again.
Lane departure warning
(Side Assist) with rear cross
traffic alert (RCTA) and door
opening warning (Exit Assist)
Introduction
The lane departure warning (LCA) helps
detect traffic that is at the rear of the vehi-
cle.
The rear cross traffic alert (RCTA) helps
the driver when backing out of a parallel
parking spot and when manoeuvring.
The door opening warning (EWA) alerts
the occupant of a possible danger ap-
proaching from behind when opening or
when any of the vehicle’s doors are open.
WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into
the lane departure warning (LCA) with rear
cross traffic alert (RCTA) and the door
opening warning included cannot over-
come the limits imposed by the laws of
physics; it only works within the limits of the
system. Accidents and severe injury may
occur if the lane departure warning or the
rear cross traffic alert are used negligently
or involuntarily. The system is not a re-
placement for driver awareness.
●
Adapt your speed and safe distance to
the vehicle in front of you at all times to suit
visibility, weather, road and traffic condi-
tions.
●
Keep your hands on the wheel at all times
to be ready to intervene in the steering at
any time.
●
Pay attention to the indicator lamps that
may come on in the external rear view mir-
rors and on the instrument cluster, and fol-
low any instructions they may give.
●
The lane departure warning could react
to any special constructions that might be
present to the sides of the vehicle, e.g. high
or irregular dividers. This may cause erro-
neous warnings.
●
Never use the lane departure warning on
unpaved roads. The lane departure warn-
ing has been designed for use on paved
roads.
●
Always pay attention to the vehicle's sur-
roundings.
●
The control lamps of the lane departure
warning may have limited functionality due
to solar radiation.
Note
If the lane departure warning with rear
cross traffic alert does not work as descri-
bed in this chapter, stop using it and con-
tact a specialised workshop.

).
The control lamps light up when the ignition is
switched on and should turn off after approxi-
mately 2 seconds. This is the time taken for
the function check.
If there are no indications from the control
lamp of the lane departure warning, this
means that the lane departure warning has
not detected any other vehicles at the rear

.
When the exterior lighting is low, the intensity
with which the control lamps come on is dim-
med. The user can modify the intensity of the
control lamps with up to 5 levels in the info-
tainment system menu.
WARNING
If the warning lamps and the corresponding
messages are ignored when they light up,
the vehicle may stall in traffic and cause
accidents and severe injuries.
●
Never ignore the warning lamps or mes-
sages.
●
Carry out the necessary operations.
CAUTION
Failure to heed the control lamps and cor-
responding text messages when they light
up may result in damage to the vehicle.
Lane departure warning (Side As-
sist)
The lane departure warning uses radar sen-
sors to monitor the areas behind the vehicle
›››
. The system does this by measur-
ing the vehicle's distance from other vehicles
and its speed differential. The lane departure
warning will not work at speeds of less than
approx. 15 km/h (9 mph).
The lane width is not detected individually,
but is rather pre-configured in the system.
Thus if you are driving in wide lanes or in be-
tween two lanes, the indications may be in-
correct. Furthermore, the system can detect
vehicles driving in the lane next to you (if
there are any), and can also detect station-
ary objects such as dividers, and thus give an
incorrect indication.

Light indication
The control lamp provides an indication on
the corresponding side regarding the traffic
situation behind the vehicle, if it is deemed to
be critical. The control lamp of the left-hand
side
indicates the traffic situation
to the rear left of the vehicle, and the control
lamp of the right-hand side
›››
, indi-
cates the traffic situation to the rear right of
the vehicle.
Keep the warning lamps zone of the lane de-
parture warning free of objects, adhesives or
the likes that may interfere with your visibility.
Lane assist Plus.
The Lane Assist Plus function can be used by
activating the
Lane Assist
and
Side Assist
functions. In this case its functions
are expanded as described below.
If the driver initiates a lane change manoeu-
vre in a potential critical situation:
●
The lamp flashes in the corresponding rear-
view mirror even though the turn signal has
not been activated.
●
The steering wheel vibrates to warn the
driver of the risk of collision.
●
torque is applied to correct the steering
and return the vehicle to its lane.

In the following situations, an indication will
be displayed in the control lamp
(arrow) or

●
When being overtaken by another vehicle
›››
.
●
When passing another vehicle
›››
with a speed differential of approx. 10 km/h
266
Driver assistance systems
(6 mph). If the vehicle is passing at a consid-
erably higher speed, no indication will be dis-
played.
The faster the vehicle approaches, the soon-
er an indication will be displayed in the con-
trol lamp, because the lane departure warn-
ing takes into account the speed differential
with other vehicles. Thus even though the dis-
tance from the other vehicle is identical, the
indication will appear sooner in some cases
and later in others.
Physical limitations inherent to the system
In some situations the lane departure warning
may not interpret the traffic situation correct-
ly. I.e. in the following situations:
●
on tight bends;
●
in the case of lanes with different widths;
●
in areas with significant gradient changes;
●
in adverse weather conditions;
●
in the case of special constructions to the
side of the vehicle, e.g., high or irregular divid-
ers.
Rear cross traffic alert (RCTA)
Fig. 195
Schematic representation of the rear
cross traffic alert assistant: zone monitored
around the vehicle while leaving a parking
space.
Park Assist uses the radar sensors on the rear
bumper
›››
to monitor the traffic
crossing behind the vehicle as it backs out of
a parallel parking space or as it is being man-
oeuvred, for example in very low visibility con-
ditions.
When the system detects a relevant vehicle
on the road that is approaching the rear of
the vehicle
›››
, an acoustic alarm
may sound if the relevance so requires it.
In addition to the acoustic alarm, the driver is
also informed by means of a visual signal on
infotainment system display. This signal is dis-
played in the form of a red or yellow strip at
the back of the image of the vehicle on the in-
fotainment system screen. This strip displays
the side of the vehicle towards which traffic is
approaching in transverse direction
.
Automatic braking to reduce damages
If the rear cross traffic alert detects that
someone else on the road is approaching the
rear of the vehicle and the driver does not
step on the brake, the system will engage the
brakes automatically.
The parking system helps the driver by auto-
matically engaging the brakes to reduce any
damage. The automatic intervention on the
brakes takes place when driving in reverse at
approx. 1-12 km/h (1-7 mph). After detecting
that the vehicle is stationary, the system
keeps it that way for around 2 seconds.
After automatically braking to reduce dam-
age, the system will not be able to automati-
cally brake again for approximately 10 sec-
onds.
You can interrupt the automatic braking by
stepping hard on the accelerator pedal or
the brake pedal in order to regain control of
the vehicle.

WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into
the rear cross traffic alert cannot over-
come the limits imposed by the laws of
physics; it only works within the limits of the
system. The parking assistant function
should not tempt you into taking any risks.
The system is not a replacement for driver
awareness.
●
The system should never be used in limi-
ted visibility conditions or complicated
traffic, e.g., in high-traffic areas or when
crossing multiple lanes.
●
Be sure to always be aware of the vehi-
cle's surroundings, since the system often
fails to detect things such as bicycles or
pedestrians.
●
The rear cross traffic alert itself will not
brake the vehicle to a complete stop.
Door opening warning (Exit Assist)
Fig. 196
Graphic example
Fig. 197
Door: warning lamp
The door opening warning (Exit Assist) warns
occupants of a possible collision when open-
ing the door when the vehicle is stationary.
The system monitors, within the limits of the
system itself, the rear and side environment of
the vehicle using the rear sensors
›››
. It detects moving objects that
approach from behind, such as cars
›››
If a critical situation is detected when the
door is opened, it will be alerted by an acous-
tic signal on the door speaker of the corre-
sponding side
. Additionally, the
control lamp of the lane departure warning of
the corresponding door will flash. If the door
has already been opened and another road
user has been detected in a critical situation,
the control lamp of the lane departure warn-
ing on the corresponding side will light up
permanently.
The brightness of the door opening warning
indication cannot be adjusted.
When you want to access the vehicle for the
first time, with the doors closed and locked,
the function will be available 3 minutes after
the first opening of any of the doors. The
function will continue to be available as long
as the vehicle has the ignition connected and
is not moving.
After switching off the ignition, the function
will remain available for approximately 3 mi-
nutes. After that time, the control lamps will
light up indicating the deactivation of the
function.
WARNING
●
Always pay close attention to the traffic
and the surroundings of the vehicle. The
door opening warning (Exit Assist) cannot
268
Driver assistance systems
replace the necessary attention to be paid
by the vehicle’s occupants. The responsi-
bility for opening the doors and exiting the
vehicle always lies with the occupants of
the same.
●
The door opening warning (Exit Assist)
operates continuously as long as the vehi-
cle ignition is on. Otherwise, the system is
deactivated and the lamps light up briefly.
●
It is possible that the traffic situation is
not interpreted correctly and you cannot
be aware of all the objects that are ap-
proaching, such as pedestrians. Always
visually monitor the traffic and the area
surrounding the vehicle.
WARNING
The door opening warning (Exit Assist) is
subject to system limits and cannot warn of
an imminent collision in all cases:
●
If your vehicle is too deep in the parking
space and the adjacent vehicles hide it.
●
In certain circumstances, objects or peo-
ple who approach, e.g. on a bicycle or
scooter, are not detected.
●
The system does not react to stopped
objects.
Note
●
The door opening warning (Exit Assist) is
activated/deactivated in the Driver assis-
tance Menu.
●
The brightness of the door opening warn-
ing indication cannot be adjusted.
●
The system is not available when driving
with a trailer.

The lane departure warning, the rear cross
traffic alert and the door opening warning will
be automatically deactivated and will be
prevented from reactivating if the factory-
mounted tow hook is electrically connected
to a trailer or other similar device.
As soon as the driver starts to drive with a
trailer connected electrically to the vehicle, a
message will appear on the instrument panel
display indicating that the lane departure
warning, the rear cross traffic alert and the
door opening warning are deactivated. Once
the vehicle trailer has been disengaged, the
lane departure warning, the rear cross traffic
alert and the door opening warning will return
