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.
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 is responsible for detecting obstacles, and estimating the vehicle’s distance from them, when maneuvering the vehicle. The driver should observe all road signs, road markings and any potential braking situations, and act appropriately.
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 judgement when driving.
The radar and camera sensors used by the blind spot driving aids may become impaired by mud, rain, frost, ice, snow, or road spray. 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 objects to the rear bumper or to the windshield. Operation of the blind spot sensors and camera 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 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.
Do not use blind spot assist when a trailer is connected. The trailer may provide miscalculations or false indications. False indications could increase the risk of a collision during a vehicle maneuver.
The radar sensor must be calibrated if it is replaced, its mounting is replaced, or it becomes misaligned, e.g., as a result of impact damage. Contact a retailer/authorized repairer.
Make sure the relevant safety warnings have been read and understood before driving the vehicle. See COLLISION AVOIDANCE SAFETY.
The forward alert may not react to slow-moving vehicles. Always drive with due care and attention. Driving without due care and attention greatly increases the risk of an accident.
The driver is recommended to switch off the forward alert system when driving off-road, using a car wash, or when the vehicle is being towed.
Forward alert monitors an area in front of the vehicle. The driver is warned if forward alert detects an object within the detection area. The instrument panel also displays a warning message if the vehicle is traveling between 18 mph (30 km/h) and 50 mph (80 km/h). The driver is responsible for taking appropriate action.
Four forward alert sensitivity settings are available:
Warnings sound and the instrument panel displays a warning message if forward alert detects an object in front of the vehicle.
Additionally, haptic alerts are used to notify the driver if forward alert detects an object in front of the vehicle.
Forward alert can be switched on or off and the sensitivity settings can be adjusted via the Driver Assistance menu. See CHANGING THE FORWARD ALERT SENSITIVITY.
Forward alert has four different sensitivity settings. The default setting is Normal.
If required, the sensitivity of the forward alert feature can be changed. To change the sensitivity settings, complete the following steps:
Off
Very Early
Early
Normal.
The forward alert sensitivity setting is retained in the vehicle’s memory after the vehicle is switched off.
Make sure the following warnings and notes 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 and forward-facing radars 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 occur, 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 sudden braking or an accident.
Make sure that the windshield is kept clean and that the camera’s line of sight is not obstructed by label or stickers. Failure to do so can cause incorrect AEB operation.
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 a warning message. When the forward-facing camera cools to less than 190°F (88°C), normal operation is resumed, and the warning message extinguishes.
AEB efficiency is dependent on the condition of the current driving surface and the vehicle’s speed, tires, and braking system.
When the vehicle’s electrical system is first switched on, AEB may require an initialization period before it is fully functional. AEB efficiency is limited during this period.
Make sure the relevant safety warnings and notes have been read and understood before driving the vehicle. See AUTONOMOUS EMERGENCY BRAKING (AEB) SAFETY.
The driver is recommended to switch off the AEB system when driving off-road, when using a car wash, or when the vehicle is being towed. Failure to do so may result in damage to the vehicle.
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, and forward-facing radars, located on the front bumper, to help identify an imminent risk of collision with:
In most instances, AEB helps reduce the severity of an impact. In some cases, AEB helps to stop the vehicle before an impact takes place.
AEB automatically switches on, every time the vehicle’s electrical system is switched on.
If required, the AEB feature can be switched off via the touchscreen. To switch AEB off, complete the following steps:
AEB operates at speeds above 3 mph (5 km/h).
The vehicle detection AEB system can detect:
The pedestrian and cyclist detection AEB systems are able to operate at speeds of up to 37 mph (60 km/h).
If an imminent risk of a collision is detected, the system automatically applies the brakes. The instrument panel also displays a warning message while AEB is operating.
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.
The brake lights are automatically operated in heavy braking situations.
The distance required to slow or stop the vehicle is dependent on the condition of the vehicle’s tires and the road surface.
The driver can override AEB operation by turning the steering wheel, or pressing the accelerator pedal. When overridden, AEB cancels its request for braking to make sure that the driver remains in full control of the vehicle.
After AEB has been activated, a warning sounds and the instrument panel displays a warning message.
Vehicle detection Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) does not operate if:
The fitting of forward-facing radars depends on the vehicle specification.

Make sure the relevant safety warnings have been read and understood before driving the vehicle. See COLLISION AVOIDANCE SAFETY.
Advanced Emergency Brake Assist (AEBA) prepares the braking system if it detects a collision is imminent. If the driver subsequently presses the brake pedal, full braking force is applied immediately.
AEBA still operates if forward alert is switched off.
Make sure the following warnings have been read and fully understood before driving the vehicle. The Advanced Emergency Brake Assist (AEBA) feature does not take away the requirement to always drive with due care and attention. Driving without due care and attention could result in an accident, leading to serious injury or death.
The AEBA feature may not react to slow-moving vehicles.
The AEBA feature does not react to vehicles traveling in the opposite direction.
In some circumstances, warnings may not display in the instrument panel. For example, if the distance to the vehicle ahead is very small. Another example includes when carrying out a collision avoidance maneuver by making large steering wheel and pedal movements.
AEBA operates at speeds above approximately 5 mph (8 km/h).
The distance required to slow or stop the vehicle is dependent on the condition of the vehicle’s tires and the road surface.
Make sure the relevant safety warnings have been read and understood before driving the vehicle. See COLLISION AVOIDANCE SAFETY.

If Rear Traffic Braking is switched off, the system does not apply the brakes if a imminent collision is detected.
The quality of the camera views may vary in different lighting conditions.
Depending on the market in which the vehicle is used, an audible and visual warning is provided during a reversing maneuver.
The rear traffic monitor system consists of two features to assist the driver when carrying out a reversing maneuver:
Audible warnings do not sound if the vehicle is stationary. Additionally, audible warnings are not repeated until the collision threat visual alert disappears.
The Rear Traffic Warning feature is active when Reverse (R) gear is selected. The feature also becomes active from a stationary position and remains active up to speeds of approximately 10 mph (16 km/h).
If required, the Rear Traffic Warning feature can be switched on or off via the driver assistance menu. To switch the Rear Traffic Warning feature on or off, complete the following steps:
If Rear Traffic Warning is switched off, the collision impact alert icon does not display, and no audio alerts sound.
The Rear Traffic Braking feature is active when the vehicle detects reverse movement and remains active up to speeds of approximately 5 mph (10 km/h).
The Rear Traffic Braking feature can also be switched on or off via the driver assistance menu. To switch the Rear Traffic Braking feature on or off, complete the following steps:
The touchscreen displays the Rear traffic monitor unavailable icon (3) if either the Rear Traffic Warning or Rear Traffic Braking feature is not available, or if a fault is detected. The icon (3) also displays if both features are not available, or a fault is detected.
If a fault in a single sensor is detected, the entire rear traffic monitor feature is disabled.
If the rear sensors are blocked, the rear traffic monitor’s performance will be reduced, or the feature may be disabled all together. In the event that this occurs, the instrument panel displays a message requesting the rear bumper to be cleared of the obstacle and icon (3) displays on the touchscreen.
If a fault is not rectified when the vehicle’s electrical system is switched off and then on again, consult a retailer/authorized repairer.
Make sure the relevant safety warnings have been read and understood before driving the vehicle. See COLLISION AVOIDANCE SAFETY.
The rear protection monitor system helps identify any potential collision risks from the rear of the vehicle.
