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.
Four forward alert sensitivity settings are available:
Warnings sound and the instrument panel displays a warning message if a forward alert detects an object in front of the vehicle.
A forward alert has four different sensitivity settings. The default setting is 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.
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.
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:
In addition to the items listed for the vehicle detection AEB system, the cyclist detection AEB system does not operate if:
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 Blind Spot Assist (BSA) system applies corrective steering inputs if:
If a lane change maneuver is initiated while the risk is detected, the relevant door mirror displays a flashing vehicle warning icon.
At the same time, a rotational force is applied to the steering wheel to counter the lane change. The instrument panel displays a warning icon with an audio alert when a rotational force is applied to the steering wheel.
The Blind Spot Assist (BSA) system can be switched on and off via the driver assistance button (1). The button icon illuminates green to confirm system status.

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:
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 if a fault is detected.
