Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) * limitations
CTA functionality may be reduced in certain sit- uations.
LimitationsCTA has limitations in certain situations, for example, the CTA sensors cannot "see" throughother parked vehicles or obstructions. The following are several examples where CTA's "field of vision" may initially be limited andapproaching vehicles cannot be detected untilthey are too close:
The vehicle is pulled far into a parking space
In angled parking spaces, CTA may be "blind" on one side
CTA's blind area
CTA's "field of vision"
However, as you back your vehicle out of a park- ing space, CTA's "field of vision" expands. Examples of other limitations include:
• Dirt, ice or snow obstructing the sensors may reduce the system's function or make itimpossible to detect other vehicles orobjects.
• CTA is deactivated if a trailer's wiring is con-nected to the vehicle's electrical system.
MaintenanceThe CTA sensors are located on the inside of therear fenders/bumper.

Road Sign Information (RSI) *
RSI is a feature that helps the driver see road signs showing the posted speed limit.
Examples of readable road signs
If the vehicle passes a sign showing the speed limit, this will be displayed in the instrument panel and the head-up display *.
NOTE
If the vehicle is equipped with the Sensus Navigation system, speed-related informationis provided by this system in the followinginstances:
• In cases where the speed limit is givenindirectly (e.g., when driving on highwaysor other major roads).
• If a previously read speed limit sign is nolonger considered valid and no new signhas been passed.
If a third-party navigation system is beingused, RSI has no support for speed-relatedinformation.
WARNING
RSI does not function in all situations and is only intended to provide supplementary infor-mation. The driver is always responsible for operating the vehicle safely.

• Faded
• Located in a curve
• Twisted or damaged
• Positioned high above the road
• Obstructed (by bushes, etc.)
• Partially covered by snow, ice, etc.

Driver Alert Control (DAC)
DAC is intended to alert the driver if his/her driv- ing becomes erratic due to e.g., distraction orfatigue.
DAC is designed to help detect a slowly chang- ing driving pattern. It is primarily intended to be used on main roads and is not meant for use incity traffic. The function activates initially when the vehicle's speed first exceeds 40 mph (65 km/h) andremains active as long the speed remains aboveapprox. 37 mph (60 km/h)
A camera monitors the traffic lane's side marker lines and compares the direction of the road withthe driver

If the driving pattern becomes noticeably erratic, the driver willbe alerted by an audible signal and
Driver Alert Time for a
break will appear in the instru-
ment panel along with a sym- bol.
The warning will be repeated if the driving patterndoes not change.
WARNING
• DAC is not intended to extend the dura- tion of driving. Always plan breaks at reg-ular intervals to help remain alert.
• A warning from DAC should not beignored. A driver may not be aware ofhow fatigued he/she has become.
• In certain cases, fatigue may not affectthe driver

Driver Alert Control limitations
Driver Alert Control (DAC) may have limited or reduced functionality in certain situations.
WARNING
A driving pattern may not change despite driver fatigue, e.g., if a function such as PilotAssist is being used, which means that DACwill not provide a warning. It is always veryimportant to stop and take a break at the firstsign of driver fatigue, even if the system hasnot provided a warning.
In certain situations, DAC may provide warnings even if the driver

Driving lane assistance provides vibrations in the steer- ing wheel7
.
Depending on the settings used, Lane Keeping Aid functions in different ways:
• Assistance type
Assist8
is activated: when
the vehicle approaches a traffic lane marker line, LKA will provide active steering assis-tance to help steer it back into the lane.
• Assistance type
Warning8
is activated: if the
vehicle is moving out of its traffic lane, an audible signal and/or vibrations in the steer-ing wheel will be provided.
NOTE
If the turn signal is used, Lane Keeping Aid will not provide an alert or steering assis-
tance.
WARNING
Lane Keeping Aid is only intended to assist the driver and does not function in all driving,weather, traffic or road conditions. As the driver, you have full responsibility for operating the vehicle in a safe manner.
Steering assistanceIn order for LKA's steering assistance to function, the driver's hands must be on the steering wheel,which the system monitors continuously.
If the driver's hands are not onthe steering wheel, this symbolwill illuminate in the instrumentpanel and the following mes-sage will be displayed:
•Lane Keeping Aid – Apply steering
If the driver does not begin to steer the vehicle, the symbol will illuminate again, an audible signal will sound and the following message will be dis-played:
•
Lane Keeping Aid – Standby until
steering applied
If the driver still does not begin to steer the vehi- cle, LKA will go into standby mode. The functionwill not become available again until the driveractively steers the vehicle
Traffic lane assistance does not react
The traffic lane assistance system does not intervene in sharp curves
In certain cases, such as during active driving or if the turn signal is used, the traffic lane system will not react if the vehicle crosses a lane marker
line.
7 The level of vibrations varies; the farther the vehicle is over a lane marker line, the greater the number of vibrations:
8 See "Type of assistance" in the article "Activating/deactivating Lane Keeping Aid".
