Make sure the following warnings have been read and fully understood before driving the vehicle. Failure to use the collision avoidance systems safely could result in an accident, leading to serious injury or death.
Collision avoidance systems are not a substitute for driving safely, with due care and attention. Staying alert, driving safely, and being in control of the vehicle at all times is the responsibility of the driver.
Blind spot driving aids are a supplement to, not a replacement for, a safe driving style.
Always use the door and rear-view mirrors. Drive safely at all times, and use the door and rear-view mirrors to help avoid accidents.
Blind spot driving aids may not function at all speeds, or in all weather conditions.
Blind spot driving aids do not correct errors of judgment when driving.
The radar sensors used by the blind spot driving aids may become impaired by mud, rain, frost, ice, snow, road spray, etc. The blind spot driving aid’s ability to detect a vehicle in the driver’s blind spot may subsequently be affected and may give false indications.
Do not attach stickers or objects to the bumpers or to the windshield. Operation of the blind spot radar sensors may subsequently become impaired. The blind spot driving aids’ ability to detect a vehicle in the driver’s blind spot may subsequently be affected and may give false indications.
Do not attach stickers or other objects to the door mirrors, as the blind spot icons and indicators may become obscured. Obscuring the icons and indicators could cause system miscalculations and increase the risk of a collision during a vehicle maneuver.
The blind spot monitor system may not be able to give adequate warning of vehicles approaching very quickly from behind.
The blind spot monitor system may not be able to detect all vehicles and may also detect objects such as roadside barriers, etc.
The rear traffic monitor system may not be able to detect all obstacles. The driver remains responsible for detecting obstacles and estimating the vehicle’s distance from the objects when maneuvering the vehicle. Driver distraction can lead to accidents.
The rear camera and bumper must be kept clean and free from debris or obstructions, e.g., ice, frost, snow, leaves, mud, or insects. Failure to keep the rear camera and bumper clear may result in the rear traffic monitor system miscalculating or giving false indications. Miscalculations and false indications may lead to an accident.
Make sure the following warnings have been read and fully understood before driving the vehicle. Failure to understand the Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) system could result in an accident, leading to serious injury or death.
The AEB system is a driving aid only. The driver is responsible for driving with due care and attention, and in a safe manner for the vehicle, the occupants, and other road users. The driver should observe all road signs, road markings, and any potential emergency braking situations, and act appropriately.
The AEB system uses forward-facing cameras to detect real vehicles and pedestrians, plus other certified target objects. AEB is not designed to detect any other objects, including non-industry-approved targets.
In order for AEB to operate, it must be able to detect a clear image of the object and be able to determine its movement. If neither of these occurs, the AEB system may not operate.
Seat belts should be worn by all vehicle occupants, for every trip, no matter how short. Failure to do so greatly increases the risk of death or serious injury in the event of an accident.
Make sure that the windshield is kept clean and that the camera’s line of sight is not obstructed by labels, stickers, etc. Failure to do so can cause incorrect AEB operation.
Efficiency is dependent on the condition of the current driving surface and the vehicle’s speed, tires, and braking system.
When a vehicle is parked outside, in full sunlight and in high ambient temperatures, the forward-facing camera may reach an internal temperature of 210°F (99°C). In this state, the instrument panel displays the warning message AEB not available. When the forward-facing camera cools to less than 190°F (88°C), normal operation is resumed, and the warning message extinguishes.
When driving off-road, it is recommended to switch off the AEB system.
When the vehicle’s ignition is first switched on, AEB may require an initialization period before it is fully functional. Efficiency is limited during this period.
Make sure the relevant safety warnings have been read and understood before driving the vehicle. See AUTONOMOUS EMERGENCY BRAKING (AEB) SAFETY.
Not all vehicles are fitted with Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB). Consult a retailer/authorized repairer for confirmation.
AEB uses forward-facing cameras, located above the rear-view mirror, to help identify an imminent risk of collision with:
If AEB brings the vehicle to a stop, the brakes continue to hold the vehicle stationary for a few seconds. After this period, the driver must resume full control of the vehicle. Failure to take back full control of the vehicle could result in an accident, leading to serious injury or death.
Vehicle detection Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) does not operate if:
In addition to the items listed for the vehicle detection AEB system, the pedestrian detection AEB system does not operate if:
Make sure the relevant safety warnings have been read and understood before driving the vehicle. See COLLISION AVOIDANCE SAFETY.
The blind spot monitor system monitors an area adjacent to, and approximately 28 ft (8.5 m) behind, the vehicle. When the system detects an overtaking vehicle, the amber warning icon (1):
During initialization, the warning icons flash in both door mirrors.
A warning indicator (2) illuminates in the door mirrors when the blind spot monitor system is disabled, not active, or there is a system fault.
The blind spot monitor system can be switched on and off via the Driver assistance instrument panel menu. See INSTRUMENT PANEL MENU OPERATION.

If required, the steering input provided by the blind spot assist system can be overridden in order to complete a lane change maneuver.
The blind spot assist system can be selected via the Driver assistance instrument panel menu. See INSTRUMENT PANEL MENU OPERATION.
When selected, the blind spot assist system must then be activated. Press the Advanced Driving Assist System (ADAS) button located in the lower switch panel on the driver’s side of the dashboard to activate the system. See DRIVER CONTROLS.
The ADAS button controls the operation of the lane departure warning, blind spot assist, and Lane Keep Assist (LKA) systems. See LANE DEPARTURE WARNING and LANE KEEP ASSIST (LKA).
When the blind spot assist system is activated, a lamp illuminates the instrument panel to confirm the operation. The instrument panel lamp changes color as follows:
Blind spot assist uses the same instrument panel icon as the lane departure warning system. See LANE DEPARTURE WARNING.
A visual representation of the blind spot assist system operation can also be viewed via the Driver assistance instrument panel view. See INSTRUMENT PANEL MENU OPERATION.
The lane boundaries change color. White is used for lane boundaries being tracked, and red indicates that the blind spot assist system is intervening in the steering from that side.
If the blind spot monitor system is switched off, the blind spot assist system also switches off.
The blind spot assist system does not operate when:
