Make sure the following warnings have been read and fully understood before using a driving aid system. Failure to use the driving aids safely could result in an accident, leading to serious injury or death.
Despite the vehicle being fitted with driving aids, the driver is still responsible for driving with due care and attention. The driver should also observe all road markings. Only drive in a manner which is safe for the vehicle, its occupants, and other road users.
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.
Driving aids may not function at all speeds, or in all weather conditions.
Driving aids do not correct errors of judgment when driving.
The sensors and cameras used by the driving aids may become impaired by mud, rain, frost, ice, snow, or road spray. The driving aids’ ability to detect a risk 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 sensors and camera may subsequently become impaired. The driving aids’ ability to detect a risk 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 performance of the lane aid systems is affected by tire pressures and steering alignment. Constant steering adjustment may be required if the tire pressures are low, or if the steering is out of alignment. Constant steering adjustment increases the risk of an accident. Check the tire pressures regularly. Consult a retailer/authorized repairer if it is believed that the steering is out of alignment.
Make sure the relevant safety warnings have been read and understood before driving the vehicle. See DRIVING AIDS SAFETY.
Make sure the LKA system is disabled when connecting a trailer.
Lane Keep Assist (LKA) monitors the road lane markings in the event of an unintentional road lane departure. If the vehicle is about to cross a lane boundary, a rotational force is applied to the steering wheel to counter the lane boundary crossing. The instrument panel displays a warning icon when a rotational force is applied to the steering wheel.
The LKA system does not assist the driver if road lane markings tracking is not available.
The Lane Keep Assist (LKA) system can be switched on and off via the driver assistance button (1). The button icon illuminates green when the LKA system is switched on.
The driver assistance button (1) also controls the operation of the Blind Spot Assist (BSA) system. See BLIND SPOT ASSIST.
The LKA system selection is retained in the vehicle’s memory after the vehicle is switched off.
The instrument panel displays an icon when the LKA system is switched on. The icon changes color as follows:
The lane boundaries are not being tracked.
The driver is indicating on the same side.
When indicating left, the left side only is grayed out. The same strategy applies when indicating right.
One or more of the system limitations criteria may have been met. See LANE KEEP ASSIST (LKA) LIMITATIONS.
LKA status can also be viewed via the Driver Assistance instrument panel view. See CONFIGURING THE INTERACTIVE DRIVER DISPLAY.
The Driver Assistance view displays a visual representation of the vehicle’s position within a lane in the instrument panel. The lane boundaries change the same color as the icon:
The Head-Up Display (HUD) also displays a warning.
The Lane Keep Assist (LKA) system is not active when:
The LKA system does not operate if:
The instrument panel displays messages to inform the driver of any performance or system issues.
If a system fault has been detected with the instrument panel or Head-Up Display (HUD), the LKA continues to operate as intended.
Make sure the relevant safety warnings have been read and understood before driving the vehicle. See DRIVING AIDS SAFETY.
Make sure the Emergency Lane Keep Assist (ELKA) system is disabled when connecting a trailer.
Make sure the ELKA system is switched off before driving off-road.
The ELKA system automatically switches on every time the vehicle’s electrical system is switched on.
The Emergency Lane Keep Assist (ELKA) system attempts to provide corrective steering inputs if it determines the vehicle is getting too close to road edges. For example, grass, mud, and snow.
ELKA operates irrespective of the use of the turn signals.
The ELKA system can be switched on or off via the touchscreen. To switch the system on or off, complete the following steps:
The instrument panel displays visual warnings to inform the driver of the ELKA system’s status. The vehicle’s speakers also provide audio warnings.
The Head-Up Display (HUD) also displays a warning.
The Emergency Lane Keep Assist (ELKA) system is not active when:
The ELKA system does not operate if:
The instrument panel displays messages to inform the driver of any performance or system issues.
If a system fault has been detected with the instrument panel or Head-Up Display (HUD), the ELKA continues to operate as intended.
Make sure the relevant safety warnings have been read and understood before driving the vehicle. See DRIVING AIDS SAFETY.
The driver condition monitor feature continuously evaluates driving technique for signs of fatigue. The feature determines fatigue in two levels:
In the event of the driver becoming fatigued:
The instrument panel displays a white icon. The instrument panel also emits a chime.
The driver condition monitor feature may warn the driver every five minutes if the driver continues to be fatigued.
In the event of the driver becoming highly fatigued:
The Find rest areas feature selection is retained in the vehicle’s memory after the vehicle is switched off.
The driver condition monitor feature is not active when the vehicle’s speed is below 37 mph (60 km/h) or above 112 mph (180 km/h).
Make sure the relevant safety warnings have been read and understood before driving the vehicle. See DRIVING AIDS SAFETY.
The traffic sign recognition system is a driving aid only. The responsibility remains with the driver to follow the legal road speed limits.
The traffic sign recognition system default state is on and cannot be disabled. The traffic sign recognition system uses a forward-facing camera located in the rear-view mirror and the vehicle’s navigation map data. The camera detects speed signs, no overtaking signs, and variable overhead speed signs.
The instrument panel displays symbols of recognized traffic signs. If no speed limit signs are visible, the instrument panel displays speed limit information taken from the navigation system.
The traffic sign recognition system also allows the driver to set a speed limit alert, e.g., when the vehicle speed goes past the speed limit set by the driver.
To access the speed limit alert menu, complete the following steps:
The traffic sign recognition system does not operate to the optimum performance if the windshield area in front of the rear-view mirror becomes blocked. For example, by stickers, mud, snow, or debris. The traffic sign recognition continues to operate using the vehicle’s navigation map information. In the event that the traffic sign recognition system becomes unavailable, the speed limit alert feature also becomes unavailable.
The traffic sign recognition system:
The instrument panel displays messages to inform the driver if the forward-facing camera is blocked.
