Clearing of traffic signs
There are different scenarios that
lead to clearing the currently
displayed traffic signs. After clearing,
the “Default Sign” or a sign from
navigation map data is displayed in
the Driver Information Centre.
Reasons for signs being cleared: ● A predefined distance was driven
or time has elapsed (differs for
each sign type)
● Vehicle drives through a turn
● If speed drops below 52 km/h (city entry detection)
Fault
Traffic sign assistant may not operate
correctly if:
● The area of the windscreen, where the front camera is
located, is not clean or affected
by foreign items, e.g. stickers.
● Traffic signs are completely or partially covered or difficult to
discern.
● There are adverse environmental
conditions, e.g. heavy rain, snow,
direct sunlight or shadows.
● Traffic signs are incorrectly mounted or damaged.
● Traffic signs do not comply with the Vienna Convention on Road
Signs and Signals.Caution
The system is intended to help the driver within a defined speed
range to discern certain traffic
signs. Do not ignore traffic signs
which are not displayed by the
system.
The system does not discern any other than the conventional traffic
signs that might give or end a
speed limit.
Do not let this special feature
tempt you into taking risks when
driving.
Always adapt speed to the road
conditions.
The driver assistance systems do not relieve the driver from full
responsibility for vehicle
operation.
Lane keep assist
Lane keep assist helps to avoid
crashes due to unintentional lane
departures. The front camera
observes the lane markings between
which the vehicle is driving. If the
vehicle approaches a lane marking, the steering wheel is gently turned to
position the vehicle back into the lane.
Override the system by turning the
steering wheel.
When crossing a lane marking
significantly, lane keep assist starts a
visual and acoustic warning.

Driving and operating193timing of alert and the occurrence of
alert. Move the steering wheel to stop
the alert.
Deactivation The system is deactivated by
pressing a. The LED in the button
extinguishes.
The system is reactivated the next time the vehicle is switched on.
Fault
The system performance may be affected by:
● windscreen not clean or affected by foreign items, e.g. stickers
● close vehicles ahead
● banked roads
● winding or hilly roads
● road edges
● roads with poor lane markings
● sudden lighting changes
● adverse environmental conditions e.g. heavy rain or
snow
● vehicle modifications, e.g. tyresSwitch off the system if the system is
disturbed by tar marks, shadows,
road cracks, temporary or
construction lane markings, or other
road imperfections.9 Warning
Always keep your attention on the
road and maintain proper vehicle
position within the lane, otherwise
vehicle damage, injury or death
could occur.
The system does not detect
pedestrians, cyclists or animals on
the road. Steer the vehicle
manually to avoid injuries and
deaths.
Lane keep assist does not
continuously steer the vehicle.
The system may not keep the
vehicle in the lane or give an alert, even if a lane marking is detected.
The steering of the lane keep
assist may not be sufficient to
avoid a lane departure.
The system may not detect hands-
off driving due to external
influences (road condition and
surface, weather etc). The driver
has full responsibility to control the vehicle and is always required tokeep the hands on the steeringwheel while driving.
Using the system while driving on
slippery roads could cause loss of control of the vehicle and a crash.
Switch off the system.

220Vehicle careIf the vehicle is damaged in a crash,
the headlight aim may be affected. If
adjustment to the low beam is
necessary, seek the assistance of a
workshop.Bulb replacement
Switch off the vehicle and the relevant
light.
Only hold a new bulb at the base. Do not touch the bulb glass with bare
hands.
Use only the same bulb type for
replacement.
Replace headlight bulbs from within
the engine compartment.
Bulb check
After a bulb replacement, switch on
the vehicle, operate and check the
lights.
Halogen bulbs9 Warning
Halogen bulbs have pressurised
gas inside and can burst if you
drop or scratch the bulb. You or others could be injured. Be sure to read and follow the instructions onthe bulb package.
Xenon headlights9 Danger
Xenon headlights work under
extremely high electrical voltage.
Do not touch. Have bulbs replaced by a workshop.
Bulbs for front turn lights and
corner lighting can be changed.
Sidelight / Daytime running lights are
designed as Light Emitting Diodes
(LEDs) and cannot be replaced.
Front turn lights Each turn light is accessible from
behind via the respective wheel
house:

Vehicle care223Electrical system
High voltage devices and wiring9 Warning
Exposure to high voltage may
cause shock, burns, and even
death. The high voltage
components in the vehicle should
only be serviced by specially
trained technicians.
High voltage components are
identified by labels. Do not
remove, open, take apart, or
modify these components. High
voltage cable or wiring has orange covering. Do not probe, tamper
with, cut, or modify high voltage
cable or wiring.
Electrical system overload
The vehicle has fuses and circuit
breakers to protect against an
electrical system overload.
If the current electrical load is too
heavy, the circuit breaker will open
and close, protecting the circuit until
the current load returns to normal or the problem is fixed. This greatly
reduces the chance of circuit
overload and fire caused by electrical
problems.
Fuses and circuit breakers protect the
following parts in the vehicle:
● Headlight wiring
● Windscreen wiper motor
● Power windows and other power accessories
Headlight wiring An electrical overload may cause the
lights to go on and off or in some
cases to remain off. In this case, have
the headlight wiring checked
immediately by a workshop.
Windscreen wipers
If the wiper motor overheats due to
blockage from heavy snow or ice, the windscreen wipers will stop until themotor has cooled down and the wiper
control has been turned off. Afterremoval of the blockage, the wiper
motor will restart when moving the
wiper control to the desired operating
position.
Although the circuit is protected from
electrical overload, mechanical
overload due to heavy snow or ice
may cause wiper linkage damage.
Always clear ice and heavy snow
from the windscreen before using the windscreen wipers. If the overload is
caused by an electrical problem and
not snow or ice, it must be serviced.
Fuses
Data on the replacement fuse must match the data on the defective fuse.
There are two fuse boxes in the
vehicle:
● at the front left side of the engine
compartment
● at the left side of the instrument panel
Before replacing a fuse, turn off the
respective switch and the vehicle.

Vehicle care235replacement or alternative tyres and
wheels allow the tyre pressure
monitoring system to continue to
function properly.
A spare wheel is not equipped with a pressure sensor. The tyre pressure
monitoring system is not operational
for these wheels. Control indicator w
illuminates. For the further three
wheels the system remains
operational.
The use of commercially-available
liquid tyre repair kits can impair the
function of the system. Factory-
approved repair kits can be used.
Operating electronic devices or being
close to facilities using similar wave
frequencies could disrupt the tyre
pressure monitoring system.
Each time the tyres are replaced, tyre pressure monitoring system sensors
must be dismounted and serviced.
For the screwed sensor, replace
valve core and sealing ring. For the
clipped sensor, replace complete
valve stem.Vehicle loading status
Adjust tyre pressure to load condition
according to the tyre information label or tyre pressure chart 3 254, and
select the appropriate setting in the
menu Tyre load in the Options menu
in the Driver Information Centre 3 82.
This setting is the reference for the
tyre pressure warnings.
The available settings are:
● Light for comfort pressure up to
three people.
● Eco for Eco pressure up to three
people.
● Max for full loading.
Auto learn function
Each tyre pressure sensor has a
unique identification code. The
identification code must be matched
to a new wheel position after rotating
the wheels or exchanging the
complete wheel set and if one or more
tyre pressure sensors were replaced.
After changing wheels, the vehicle
must be stationary for approx.
20 minutes before the system
recalculates. The following relearn
process takes up to 10 minutes of
driving with a minimum speed of
20 km/h. In this event, w can be
displayed or pressure values can
swap in the Driver Information Centre.
If problems occur during the relearn
process, a warning message will be
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre.
Tread depthCheck tread depth at regular
intervals.
Tyres should be replaced for safety
reasons at a tread depth of 2-3 mm
(4 mm for winter tyres).
