204Driving and operatingIf equipped only with front camera the
system operates up to a speed of 85
km/h.9 Warning
Active emergency braking is not
designed to apply hard
autonomous braking or to
automatically avoid a collision. It is designed to reduce the vehicle
speed before a collision. It may not
react to animals. After a sudden
lane change, the system needs a
certain time to detect the next
preceding vehicle.
The complete attention of the
driver is always required while
driving. The driver must always be
ready to take action and apply the brakes and steer to avoid
collisions.
The system is designed to work with
all occupants wearing their seat belts.
Intelligent Brake Assist
If the vehicle is equipped with radar
sensor Intelligent brake assist may
activate when the brake pedal is
applied quickly by providing a boost
to braking based on the speed of
approach and distance to a vehicle
ahead.
Minor brake pedal pulsations or pedal movement during this time is normal
and the brake pedal should continue
to be applied as needed. Intelligent
brake assist will automatically
disengage only when the brake pedal is released.9 Warning
Intelligent brake assist may
increase vehicle braking in
situations when it may not be
necessary. You could block the
flow of traffic. If this occurs, take
your foot off the brake pedal and
then apply the brakes as needed.
Front pedestrian protection
3 205.
Deactivation
Active emergency braking can be
deactivated in the personalisation
menu 3 126. If deactivated a
message is displayed in the Driver
Information Centre.
System limitations In some cases, the active emergencybraking system may provide an
automatic braking in situations that
seem to be unnecessary, for instance
in parking garages, due to traffic signs
in a curve or due to vehicles in
another lane. This is normal
operation, the vehicle does not need service. Firmly apply the accelerator
pedal to override the automatic
braking if the situation and the
surroundings permit.
In the following cases, Active
emergency braking performance is limited:
● Driving on winding or hilly roads.
● Detecting all vehicles, especially vehicles with a trailer, tractors,
muddy vehicles, etc.

Driving and operating215correct distance indication in the
upper part of these vehicles
cannot be guaranteed.
Objects with a very small reflection
cross-section, e.g. objects of
narrow size or soft materials, may
not be detected by the system.
Parking assist systems do not
detect objects outside the
detection range.
Note
It is possible that the sensor detects
a non-existing object caused by
echo disturbance from external
acoustic noise or mechanical
misalignments (sporadic false
warnings may occur).
Make sure that the front number
plate is properly mounted (not bent
and no gaps to the bumper on the left
or right side) and the sensors are
firmly in place.
Advanced parking assist system
may not respond to changes in the
available parking space after
initiating a parking manoeuvre. The
system may recognize an entry, a
gateway, a courtyard or even a crossing as a parking slot. After
selecting reverse gear the system
will start a parking manoeuvre. Take care regarding the availability of the
suggested parking slot.
Low curbs and surface irregularities,
e.g. on construction zones, are not
detected by the system. The driver
accepts responsibility.
Note
New vehicles require a calibration
during first use. For optimal parking
guidance, a driving distance of at
least 10 km, including a number of
bends, is required.
System is calibrated to factory-fitted
wheels. Parking performance is
altered with other tyre or wheels
sizes.
Side blind zone assistant
The side blind zone alert system
detects and reports objects on either
side of the vehicle, within a specified
"blind spot" zone. The system
displays a visual alert in each exteriormirror, when detecting objects that
may not be visible in the interior and
exterior mirrors.
Radar sensors for side blind zone
alert are located in the rear bumper.9 Warning
Side blind zone alert does not
replace driver vision.
The system does not detect:
● vehicles outside the side blind zones which may be rapidly
approaching
● pedestrians, cyclists or animals
Before changing a lane, always
check all mirrors, look over the
shoulder and use the turn signal.
When the system detects a vehicle in the side blind zone while driving
forwards, either while passing a
vehicle or being passed, the yellow
warning symbol B will illuminate in
the relevant exterior mirror. If the
driver then activates the turn signal,

Driving and operating217● The vehicle had an accident or ifthe area surrounding the
detection sensor is damaged or
not properly repaired.
● There are extreme temperature changes.
● The vehicle is towing a trailer
In the event of a fault in the system or
if the system does not work due to
temporary conditions, the symbols in
the mirrors will be permanently
illuminated and a message is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre. Seek the assistance of a
workshop.
Lane change alert
Additional to the side blind zone
assist 3 215, lane change alert
recognizes rapidly approaching
vehicles from behind on parallel lanes
next to your vehicle.
If the vehicle has lane change alert,
then side blind zone alert is always
included.
The system alerts visually in each
exterior mirror when detecting rapidly
approaching vehicles from behind.The radar distance sensors are
located in the rear bumper.9 Warning
Lane change alert does not
replace driver vision.
Before changing a lane, always
check all mirrors, look over the
shoulder and use the turn signal.
When the system detects an
approaching vehicle from behind
which drives considerably faster, the
yellow warning symbol F will
illuminate in the relevant exterior mirror. If the driver then activates the
turn signal, the warning symbol F
starts flashing yellow as a warning not to change lanes.
Lane change alert is active at all
speeds.
When the vehicle is started, both exterior mirror displays will briefly
come on to indicate that the system is
operating.

218Driving and operatingDetection zones
The system sensors cover a zone of
approx. 3.5 metres parallel on both
vehicle sides and approx. 3 metres
rearwards on side blind zone alert
(A) and approx. 50 metres rearwards
on lane change alert (B) on parallel
lanes. The zones start at each
exterior mirror. The height of the zone
is approx. between 0.5 metres and
2 metres off the ground.
Deactivation
Activation or deactivation of the lane
change alert can be set in the vehicle personalisation menu in the Info-
Display.
Vehicle personalisation 3 126.
Info-Display 3 120.
The system is deactivated if the
vehicle is towing a trailer.
Deactivation is indicated by a
message in the Driver Information
Centre.
System limitations Occasional missed alerts can occur
under normal circumstances or in
sharp curves. The system can
temporarily alert of objects in the blind spot at specific weather conditions(rain, hail etc). Driving on a wet road
or in the transitions from a dry area to
a wet area can cause the control
indicator F to light up, as water
splash can be interpreted as an
object. Otherwise the control indicator F may illuminate due to guardrails,
signs, trees, shrubs or other immobile
objects. This is normal operation and
the system does not need to be
serviced.The system may not operate properly
when:
● Ice, snow, mud, stickers, magnets, metal plates, or
anything else covers the sensors.
● Driving in heavy rainstorms.
● The vehicle had an accident or if the area surrounding the
detection sensor is damaged or
not properly repaired.
● There are extreme temperature changes.
● The vehicle is towing a trailer
In the event of a fault in the system or if the system does not work due to
temporary conditions, a message is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre. Seek the assistance of a
workshop.
Note
After production, the system
requires a calibration. For optimal
performance, drive as soon as
possible on a straight highway road
with roadside objects, e.g. guardrails
and barriers for some distance.

222Driving and operating
The area displayed by the camera is
limited. The distance of the image that
appears on the display differs from
the actual distance.
Guiding lines
Dynamic guiding lines are horizontal
lines at one metre intervals projected
onto the picture to define the distance
to displayed objects.Trajectory lane of the vehicle is
shown in accordance with the
steering angle.
Warning symbols
Warning symbols are indicated as
triangles 9 on the picture, which show
obstacles detected by the rear
sensors of the advanced parking
assist.
Additionally 9 appears on the top line
of the Info-Display with the warning to check the vehicle surrounding.
Deactivation
The camera is switched off when a
certain forward speed is exceeded or
if reverse gear is not engaged for
approx. 10 seconds.
Deactivation of guiding lines and
warning symbols
7'' Colour-Info-Display: Activation or
deactivation of the visual guiding lines and the warning symbols can be

Driving and operating229The driver assistance systems donot 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. Turn steering wheel in same
direction, if system steering is not
sufficient. Turn steering wheel gently
into opposite direction, if lane change
is intended.
When crossing a lane marking
significantly, lane keep assist starts a
visual and acoustic warning.
Unintended lane departure is
assumed
● without using turn signal
● using the turn signal in the opposite direction of the lane
departure
● without braking
● without acceleration
● without active steering.
Note
The system is switched off during
detection of ambiguous lane
markings, e.g. in construction areas.
Note
The system may be switched off if it
detects lanes which are too narrow,
too wide or too curved.
ActivationThe lane keep assist is activated by
pressing a. The LED in the button
illuminates to indicate that the system
is switched on.
When the control indicator a in the
instrument cluster or in the head-up display illuminates green, the system
is ready to assist.
The system is operational at vehicle
speeds between 60 km/h and
180 km/h and if lane markings are
available.
The system gently turns the steering
wheel and the control indicator a
changes to yellow, if the vehicle
approaches a detected lane marking
without using the turn signal in that
direction.
The system alerts by flashing a
together with three chimes, from the
respective direction, if the lane is
departed significantly.

230Driving and operatingThe system is only operable when a
lane marking is detected.
If the system only detects lane
markings on one side of the road, it
will only assist for this side.
Lane keep assist detects hands-free
driving. In this case a message in the
Driver Information Centre pops-up
and a chime sounds as long as lane
keep assist detects hands-free
driving.
Deactivation The system is deactivated by
pressing a; the LED in the button
extinguishes.
The system is deactivated
automatically when a trailer is
detected.
System limitations
The system performance may not
operate properly when:
● Vehicle speed is out of range from 60 to 180 km/h.
● Driving on winding or hilly roads.
● During nighttime driving.● Weather limits visibility, such as fog, rain, or snow.
● The sensor in the windscreen is blocked by snow, ice, slush, mud,dirt, windscreen damage or
affected by foreign items, e.g.
stickers.
● The sun is shining directly into the camera lens.
● Close vehicles ahead
● Banked roads
● Road edges
● Roads with poor lane markings
● Sudden lighting changes
● 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-
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 towing a
trailer or on slippery roads could
cause loss of control of the vehicle
and a crash. Switch the system off.
