BLIS is active when the driver's vehicle is trav-
elling at a speed above 10 km/h (6 mph).

If passing vehicles drive more than 15 km/h
(9 mph) faster than the driver's vehicle, BLIS
will not react.

NOTE

The lamp illuminates on the side of the car
where the system has detected the vehicle.
If the car is overtaken on both sides at the
same time then both lamps illuminate.

WARNING

•

The function is supplementary driver
support intended to facilitate driving
and make it safer – it cannot handle all
situations in all traffic, weather and
road conditions.

•

•

Driver support functions are not a sub-
stitute for the driver's attention and
judgement. The driver is always
responsible for ensuring the car is
driven in a safe manner, at the appro-
priate speed, with an appropriate dis-
tance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and reg-
ulations.

Cross Traffic Alert

*

88

Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) is a driver support
that supplements BLIS

89

and is designed to

help the driver detect traffic crossing behind
the car when it is reversing.

The

auto-brake

subfunction can help the

driver to stop the car in the event of a risk of
collision with an unobserved vehicle.

Examples of areas where CTA can assist the driver to

detect obstacles during reversing.

CTA supplements BLIS by detecting the
approach of crossing traffic during reversing,
such as when reversing out of a parking
space.

CTA is primarily designed to detect vehicles. In
favourable conditions it may also be able to

detect smaller objects, such as cyclists and
pedestrians.

CTA is only active if the car rolls backwards or
if reverse gear has been selected.

If CTA senses that something is approaching
from the side, this is also indicated with:

•

an acoustic signal - the sound is heard in
the left-hand or right-hand speaker
according to the direction from which the
object approaches.

•

an illuminated icon in the

Park Assist

System

graphic on the screen.

•

an icon on the Park assist camera top
view.

Illuminated icon for CTA in the

Park Assist

System

graphic on the screen.

If the driver does not observe the warning
from CTA and a collision is unavoidable, the

auto-brake

function takes effect to stop the

car, after which the driver display shows an
explanatory text message on why the car was
braked.

The Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) function with

auto-brake

may have limited functionality in

certain situations. Brake intervention is active
at speeds below 15 km/h.

WARNING

The

auto-brake

subfunction can only

detect and brake for other vehicles that are

moving –

not

for stationary obstacles, a

cyclist or a pedestrian, for example.

CTA has a certain limitation – the CTA sensors
cannot "see" through other parked vehicles or
obstructions, for example.

Here are some examples of situations where
CTA’s "field of vision" may be already limited
and approaching vehicles cannot therefore be
detected until they are very close:

The car is parked deep inside a parking slot.

In an angled parking slot CTA may be completely

“blind” on one side.

Blind CTA sector.

Sector in which CTA can detect/“see”.

However, as your car slowly reverses, the
angle it makes with the obstructing vehicle/

object changes and the blind sector rapidly
decreases.

Examples of further limitations

•

The

auto-brake

subfunction only detects

moving vehicles and therefore

cannot

"see" and brake for stationary obstacles, a
cyclist or a pedestrian, for example.

•

Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors
may reduce the functions and deactivate
alerts.

•

CTA is automatically deactivated if a
trailer, bicycle rack or similar is connected
to the car's electrical system.

•

For good performance of CTA, there
should be no bicycle rack, luggage carrier
or similar mounted on the car's towbar.

the sign as a symbol combined with a col-
oured indication on the speedometer.

If the car is fitted with Sensus Navigation

*

,

speed-related information is also obtained
from map data, which means that the driver

shown together with the
speed limit symbol.

If the driver enters a road
marked with a no-entry sign
at the roadside, the symbol
for this sign

97

flashes on and

off on the driver display as a
warning.

If the car is equipped with Sensus Navigation

*

,

information from map data is used to deter-
mine whether the car is being driven in the
wrong direction.

The driver can also get an acoustic warning
when driving towards a road marked with a
no-entry sign if the

Road Sign Audio

Warning

function is activated.

Speed limit or end of motorway

When the function detects an "indirect speed
limit sign" stating the end of the current speed
limit – e.g. at the end of a motorway – a sym-
bol appears with the corresponding road sign
in the driver's display.

If the car is equipped with Sensus Navigation

*

,

direct speed limit signs are normally displayed

– indirect speed limit signs are only displayed
if map data has no information on the speed
limit for the road section in question.

Example of indirect speed limit sign

97

:

End of all restrictions.

End of motorway.

The driver display symbol extinguishes after
10-30 seconds and remains so until the next
speed related sign is passed.

Changed speed limit

When passing a direct speed limit sign when a
speed limit changes, a symbol with the corres-
ponding road sign appears in the driver's dis-
play.

Example of direct speed limit
sign

97

.

The driver display symbol extinguishes after
about 5 minutes until the next speed-related
sign is passed.

If the car is fitted with Sensus Navigation

*

,

speed limit signs are shown in the driver dis-
play when map data contains information on
the speed limit for the road section in ques-
tion, even if no direct sign has been passed. If
there is no information in map data, the sign
goes off after approx. 3 minutes after the last
passing of a speed limit sign.

371

Additional signs

Examples of additional signs

97

.

Sometimes different speed limits are signed
for the same road - an additional sign then
indicates the circumstances under which the
different speeds apply. The road section may
be particularly susceptible to accidents in rain
and/or fog, for example.

An additional sign relating to rain is displayed
only if the windscreen wipers are in use.

If a trailer is connected to the car's electrical
system and you pass a speed sign with the
additional sign "trailer", the indicated speed
will appear on the driver display.

Some speed limits only apply
after a certain distance or at a
certain time of day. The driv-
er's attention is drawn to this
fact by means of a symbol for
an additional sign below the
speed symbol. The additional

symbol in the driver display will show either
“DIST” or “TIME”.

A symbol for additional sign
in the form of an empty frame
under the driver display's
speed symbol

97

means that

the function has detected an
additional sign with supple-
mentary information for the

current speed limit.

Sign for "School" and "Children at
play"

If a warning sign

97

for

"School" or "Children at play"
is included in the satellite
navigator's map data

98

, the

driver display shows a sign of
this type.

) includes sub-

functions that can warn the driver if a speed
limit has been exceeded or in connection with
speed cameras.

Examples of information on speed camera and speed

limit in the driver display.

Speed Limit Warning

The speed warning is given
by the driver display sym-
bol

100

showing the applicable

maximum permitted speed
temporarily flashing when
this speed is exceeded.

A speed warning is always given if the speed
limit is exceeded in connection with speed
camera information.

Speed Limit Warning

warns the driver when

the applicable speed limit or a preselected
"top speed" is exceeded – this warning is
repeated once after approx. 30 seconds
within the same speed limit area unless the
driver reduces the speed.

Another warning is available only when the
driver has reduced the speed by at least
5 km/h (3 mph) and then exceeds the speed
limit again, or when the car reaches a new/
different speed limit area.

NOTE

To get an acoustic warning if you exceed
the required speed, the

Speed Limit

Warning

function must be activated and

the

Road Sign Audio Warning

subfunc-

tion must be set to

On

. An acoustic warn-

ing is then given if the car's speed exceeds
the speed indicated by the Road Sign

Driver Alert Control

The Driver Alert Control (DAC) function is
intended to help make the driver aware that
he or she is starting to drive less consistently,
e.g. if the driver becomes distracted or starts
to fall asleep.

The objective for DAC is to detect slowly dete-
riorating driving ability and it is primarily
intended for major roads. The function is not
intended for city traffic.

The function is activated when speed exceeds
65 km/h (40 mph) and remains active as long
as the speed is over 60 km/h (37 mph).

DAC reads the position of the car in the lane.

A camera detects the edge markings painted
on the carriageway and compares the align-
ment of the road with the driver’s steering
wheel movements.

The car is being driven erratically in the lane.

If driving behaviour becomes
noticeably inconsistent, the
driver is alerted by this sym-
bol in the driver display, com-
bined with an acoustic signal
and the text message

Time

to take a break

.

If the car is equipped with Sensus Navigation

*

and has the function

Rest Stop Guidance

activated, suggestions for an appropriate
place for a break are also displayed.

The warning is repeated after a time if driving
behaviour has not improved.

WARNING

Driver Alert Control should not be used to

extend a period of driving. The driver

should instead plan for breaks at regular

intervals and make sure they are well

rested.

WARNING

An alarm from Driver Alert Control should

be taken very seriously, as a sleepy driver is

often not aware of his/her own condition.
If the alarm sounds or you feel fatigued:

•

Stop the car safely as soon as possible
and rest.

Studies have shown that it is just as dan-

gerous to drive while tired as it is to drive

under the influence of alcohol or other

stimulants.
