Traffic sign detection in
conjunction with navigation
system
If the vehicle is equipped with a navigation system, the currently
displayed sign can either originate
from optical sign detection or from the
map data.
If the currently displayed sign
originates from map data and the map information changes, a new sign will
be displayed. This may lead to
detection of a new sign although no
sign on the road may have been
passed.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 traffic
signs.
● The navigation map data is outdated.Caution

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

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. tyres.Switch 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.
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-

influences (road condition and
surface, weather etc). The driver
has full responsibility to control the
vehicle and is always required to keep the hands on the steeringwheel while driving.
Using the system while towing a
trailer or on slippery roads could
cause loss of control of the vehicle
and a crash. Switch the system off.

Vehicle care2713. Secure the defective wheel withthe wing nut.
4. Depending on the tyre size, the floor cover can be placed on the
projecting wheel.
Spare wheel with directional tyre If possible, fit directional tyres such
that they roll in the direction of travel.
The rolling direction is indicated by a
symbol (e.g. an arrow) on the
sidewall.
The following applies to tyres fitted
opposing the rolling direction:
● Driveability may be affected. Have the defective tyre renewed
or repaired as soon as possible
and fit it instead of the spare
wheel.
● Drive particularly carefully on wet
and snow-covered road
surfaces.Jump starting
The vehicle battery is located in the
load compartment under a cover. There are connecting points for jump
starting in the engine compartment.
A vehicle with a discharged vehicle
battery can be started using jump
leads and the vehicle battery of
another vehicle.
Do not start with quick charger.9 Warning
Be extremely careful when starting
with jump leads. Any deviation
from the following instructions can
lead to injuries or damage caused
by battery explosion or damage to the electrical systems of both
vehicles.
9 Warning
Avoid contact of the battery with
eyes, skin, fabrics and painted
surfaces. The fluid contains
sulphuric acid which can cause
injuries and damage in the event
of direct contact.
● Never expose the vehicle battery
to naked flames or sparks.
● A discharged vehicle battery can already freeze at a temperature
of 0 °C. Defrost the frozen vehicle
battery before connecting jump leads.
● Wear eye protection and protective clothing when
handling a vehicle battery.
● Use a booster vehicle battery with the same voltage (12 Volt).
Its capacity (Ah) must not be
much less than that of the
discharged vehicle battery.
● Use jump leads with insulated terminals and a cross section of
at least 16 mm 2
(25 mm 2
for
diesel engines).
● Do not disconnect the discharged
vehicle battery from the vehicle.
● Switch off all unnecessary electrical consumers.
