Forward collision alert The forward collision alert can help to
avoid or reduce the harm caused by
front-end crashes. If a vehicle directly
ahead is approached too quickly, a
warning chime and alert in the Driver
Information Centre is provided.
Forward collision alert uses the front
camera system in the windscreen to
detect a vehicle directly ahead, in
your path, within a distance of approx. 60 metres.
The green illuminated vehicle ahead
symbol A appears in the
speedometer when the system has
detected a vehicle in the driving path.
Precondition is, that forward collision
alert is not deactivated by the button
V .
Activation Forward collision alert operates
automatically above 40 km/h, if it is
not deactivated by button V, see
below.

156Driving and operating
General information9Warning
Forward collision alert is just a
warning system and does not
apply the brakes. When
approaching a vehicle ahead too
rapidly, it may not provide you
enough time to avoid a collision.
The driver accepts full
responsibility for the valid
following distance based on traffic, weather and visibility conditions.
The complete attention of the
driver is always required while
driving. He shall always be ready to take action and apply the
brakes.
System limitations
The system is designed to warn only for vehicles, but may react also on
other objects.
In the following cases, forward
collision alert may not detect a vehicle
ahead or sensor performance is
limited:
■ on winding roads,
■ when weather limits visibility, such as fog, rain, or snow,
■ when the sensor is blocked by snow, ice, slush, mud, dirt, or
windscreen damage.
Following distance
indication The following distance indication
displays the distance to a preceding
moving vehicle. The front camera in
the windscreen is used to detect the
distance of a vehicle directly ahead in
the vehicle's path. It is active at
speeds above 40 km/h.
When a preceding vehicle is detected
ahead, the distance is indicated in
seconds, displayed on a page in the
Driver Information Centre 3 94 . Press
the MENU button on the turn signal
lever to select Vehicle InformationMenu X and turn the adjuster
wheel to choose following distance
indication page.
The minimum indicated distance is
0.5 seconds.
If there is no vehicle ahead or the vehicle ahead is out of range, two
dashes will be displayed: -.- s.

162Driving and operating
The instructions in the display show:■ a hint when driving faster than 30 km/h,
■ the demand to stop the vehicle, when a parking slot is detected,
■ the direction of driving during the parking manoeuvre,
■ the steering wheel position during parking,
■ for some of the instructions a progress bar is shown.A successful parking manoeuvre is
indicated by the End position symbol.
Pay attention always to the sound of
the front-rear parking assist.
Continuous sound means that the
distance to an obstacle is less than about 30 cm.
Changing the parking side
The system is configured to detect
parking slots by default on the
passenger side. To detect parking
slots on the driver side, switch on turn
indicator to the driver side for the
duration of searching.
As soon as turn indicator is switched
off, the system searches for parking
slots on the passenger side again.
Display priorities
After activating the advanced parking assist, a message appears in the
Driver Information Centre. Advanced
parking assist indication in the Driver
Information Centre can be inhibited
by vehicle messages with a higher
priority. After approving the message
by pressing the SET/CLR button on
the turn signal lever, advanced
parking assist instructions appear
again and parking manoeuvre can be
continued.
Deactivation
The system is deactivated by:
■ pushing button D for approx.
one second
■ parking manoeuvre successfully ended
■ driving faster than 30 km/h
■ switching off the ignition

Wheels and tyres
Wheels
On vehicles with Diesel engines no
steel rims and only special, for this
vehicle approved alloy wheels are
permitted.
Tyre condition, wheel condition
Drive over edges slowly and at right
angles if possible. Driving over sharp
edges can cause tyre and wheel
damage. Do not trap tyres on the kerb when parking.
Regularly check the wheels for
damage. Seek the assistance of a
workshop in the event of damage or
unusual wear.
Winter tyres Winter tyres improve driving safety attemperatures below 7 °C and should
therefore be fitted on all wheels.
All tyre sizes are permitted as winter
tyres 3 236.
