WARNING
Never look into the laser sensor (which
emits spreading invisible laser radiation) at
a distance of 100 mm or closer with magni-
fying optics such as a magnifying glass,
microscope, lens or similar optical instru-
ments - this would involve a risk of eye injury
(the illustration on page 184 shows sensor
location).
For more information on the laser sensor, see
page 10.

Collision Warning & Pedestrian Detection with Auto Brake*

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.189 Function
Functions overview.
Visual warning signal in the event of a col-
lision risk
Radar sensor
Camera sensor
Collision warningTogether with a camera sensor, the radar sen-
sor detects pedestrians, stationary vehicles as
well as vehicles driving in the same direction in
front of the car.
In the event of there being a risk of collision with
a pedestrian or such a vehicle your attention is
drawn with a red flashing warning signal and a
warning sound.
Brake supportIf the risk of collision still increases after the
collision warning then the brake support is acti-
vated. The brake support prepares the brake
system for rapid braking and the brakes are
applied gently, which may be noticed as a
slight jerk.
If the brake pedal is depressed sufficiently
quickly then full brake function is implemented.
Brake support also reinforces the driver's brak-
ing if the system considers that the braking is
not sufficient to avoid a collision.
Auto BrakeIf the driver has not yet started an evasive
manoeuvre in this situation and the risk of a
collision is imminent then the Auto Brake func-
tion comes into effect, without the driver need-
ing to touch the brake pedal. Braking then
takes place with full brake force in order to
reduce collision speed, or with limited brake
force if it is sufficient to avoid collision.
Operation
Settings are made from MY CAR via the centre
console display screen and menu system. For
information on how the menu system is used,
see page 142.
NOTE
The Brake Support and Auto Brake func-
tions are always enabled - they cannot be
deactivated.

should be switched on or off: Search with the
menu system MY CAR via the centre console
display screen and locate Settings

Collision Warning. For information on the
menu system,see page 142.
An activated function is tested at each engine
start by briefly illuminating the warning lamp's
separate points of light.
When starting the engine, the setting that was
selected when the engine was switched off is
obtained automatically.

Warning
Warning distance.
The warning distance determines the system's
sensitivity. Warning distance
Long provides an
earlier warning. First test with Long and if this
setting produces too many warnings, which
could be perceived as irritating in certain sit-
uations, then change to warning distance
Normal.
Only use warning distance
Short in excep-
tional cases, e.g. for dynamic driving.
NOTE
When the adaptive cruise control is in use
the warning lamp and warning sound will be
used by the cruise control even if the colli-
sion warning system is switched off.
The collision warning system warns the
driver in the event of a risk of a collision, but
the function cannot shorten driver reaction
time.
In order for the collision warning system to
be effective, always drive with the Distance
Alert set at time interval 4 – 5. see
page 181.
NOTE
Even if the warning distance has been set toLong then in certain situations warnings
could be perceived as being late. E.g. in the
event of large differences in speed or if vehi-
cles in front brake heavily.
Checking settingsThe settings required can be controlled on the
centre console display screen. Search with the
menu system MY CAR under Settings
Car
settings
Driver support systems
Collision Warning, see page 142.
Limitations
The collision warning system is active from and
including approx. 4 km/h.
The visual warning signal may be difficult to
notice in the event of strong sunlight, reflec-
tions, when sunglasses are being worn or if the
driver is not looking straight ahead. The warn-
ing sound should therefore always be acti-
vated.
On slippery road surfaces the braking distance
is extended, which may reduce the capacity to
avoid a collision. In such situations the ABS
and DSTC systems will provide best possible
braking force with maintained stability.
NOTE
The visual warning signal can be temporarily
disengaged in the event of high passenger
compartment temperature caused by
strong sunlight for example. If this occurs
then the warning sound is activated even if
it is deactivated in the menu system.
•Warnings may not appear if the dis-
tance to the vehicle in front is small or if
steering wheel and pedal movements
are large, e.g. a very active driving style.

192* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Detection of pedestrians (Pedestrian
detection)
Optimal examples of what the system regards as
pedestrians with clear body contours.
Optimal performance of the system requires
that the system function that detects pedes-
trians receives as unambiguous information as
possible about the contours of the body - this
implies the opportunity to identify the head,
arms, shoulders, legs, upper and lower body
combined with a normal human pattern of
movement.
If large parts of the body are not visible to the
camera then the system cannot detect a
pedestrian.
•In order for a pedestrian to be detected he/
she must appear full-length and have a
height of at least 80 cm.
•The system cannot detect a pedestrian
carrying larger items.
•The camera sensor's ability to see pedes-
trians at dusk and dawn is limited - just like
the human eye.
•The camera sensor's capacity to detect
pedestrians is deactivated when driving in
darkness and tunnels - even when street-
lights are lit.
WARNING
Collision Warning with Auto Brake is an
assistance tool.
It cannot detect all pedestrians in all situa-
tions and it cannot see e.g. partially
obscured pedestrians, shorter people or
children (below 80 cm) or people in clothing
that hides the contours of the body.
•The driver is always responsible that the
vehicle is driven properly and with a
safety distance adapted to the speed.
Fault tracing and action
If the display shows the message Windscreen
Sensors blocked then this means that the
camera sensor is blocked and cannot detectpedestrians, vehicles or road markings in front
of the car.
In turn this means that the Collision Warning
with Auto Brake, Lane Departure Warning and
Driver Alert Control functions are not operating
with full functionality.
The following table presents possible causes
for a message being shown along with the
appropriate action.
CauseAction
The windscreen sur-
face in front of the
camera is dirty or
covered with ice or
snow.Clean the wind-
screen surface in
front of the camera
from dirt, ice and
snow.
Thick fog, heavy rain
or snow means that
the camera does not
work sufficiently
well.No action. At times
the camera does not
work during heavy
rain or snowfall.

The function is activated when speed
exceeds 65 km/h and remains active
as long as the speed is over
60 km/h.
The display shows a level mark with 1-5 bars,
where a low number of bars indicates incon-
sistent driving style. A high number of bars
indicates stable driving.
If the vehicle is driven inconsistently then the
driver is alerted by an acoustic signal as well as
the text message
Driver Alert Time for a
break. The warning is repeated after a time if
driving ability does not improve.
WARNING
An alarm should be taken very seriously, as
a sleepy driver is often not aware of his/her
own condition.
In the event of an alarm or a feeling of tired-
ness; stop the car in a safe manner as soon
as possible and rest.
Studies have shown that it is equally as dan-
gerous to drive while tired as it is under the
influence of alcohol.

Driver Alert System - LDW*
04
198* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
General information on Lane Departure
Warning - LDW
The function is intended to reduce the risk for
single-vehicle accidents – accidents where, in
certain situations, the vehicle leaves the car-
riageway and is in danger of driving either into
a ditch or into oncoming traffic.
LDW consists of a camera that detects the side
markings painted on the carriageway. The
driver is alerted by an acoustic signal if the
vehicle crosses a side marking.
Operation and function
The function is switched on or off by means of
a switch on the centre console. An indicator
lamp in the button illuminates when the func-
tion is switched on.
The trip computer display shows
Lane Depart
Warn Standby <65 km/h when the function is
in standby mode due to speed being below 65
km/h.
The LDW function is activated automatically
from standby mode after the camera has scan-
ned in the carriageway&#39;s side markings and
speed exceeds 65 km/h. The trip computer
display then shows
Lane Depart Warn
Available.If the camera can no longer detect the carria-
geway&#39;s side markings the display shows
Lane Depart Warn Unavailable.
If speed decreases to below 60 km/h then the
function resumes standby mode and the dis-
play shows
Lane Depart Warn Standby
<65 km/h.
If the vehicle crosses the left or right-hand side
marking of the carriageway without due cause
then the driver is alerted by an acoustic signal.
No warning is given in the following situations:
•Direction indicators activated
•The driver has his/her foot on the brake
pedal1
•In the event of the accelerator pedal being
depressed rapidly1
•In the event of rapid steering wheel move-
ments1
•In the event of a sudden turn so that the car
rolls.
The camera sensor also has certain limitations.

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.201 General
Parking assistance is used as an aid to parking.
An acoustic signal as well as symbols on the
centre console&#39;s display screen indicate the
distance to the detected obstacle.
Parking assistance sound level can be
adjusted during the ongoing acoustic signal
using the centre console&#39;s VOL knob or in the
car&#39;s menu system MY CAR - see page 142.
Parking assistance is available in two variants:
•Rear only
•Both front and rear.
WARNING
•Parking assistance does not relinquish
the driver&#39;s own responsibility during
parking.
•The sensors have blind spots where
obstacles cannot be detected.
•Be aware of e.g. people or animals near
the car.
Function
The system is automatically activated when the
car is started and the switch&#39;s On/Off lamp is
illuminated. If parking assistance is switched
off with the button, the lamp goes out.
Display screen view - showing an obstacle left
front and right rear.
The centre console&#39;s display screen shows an
overview of the relationship between the car
and detected obstacle.
Marked sectors show which of the four sen-
sor(s) detected an obstacle. The closer to the
car symbol a selected sector box is, the shorter
the distance between the car and a detected
obstacle.
The frequency of the signal increases the
shorter the distance to an obstacle, in front of
or behind the car. Other sound from the audio
system is muted automatically.
When the distance is within 30 cm the tone is
constant and the active sensor&#39;s field nearest
the car is filled in. If the detected obstacle is
