218Driving and operatingPanoramic view system
This system allows views of the
vehicle's surroundings to be
displayed as a nearly 360° picture in
the Info Display, like a bird's eye view.
The system uses four cameras: ● rear camera, installed in the tailgate
● front camera, installed in the front
grill below the emblem
● side cameras, located at the bottom of both exterior mirrors.
The screen in the Info Display is
divided into two parts: on the left there
is a view from above the vehicle, and
on the right there is the view from front
or the rear displayed, according to the gear engaged. The parking sensors
complete the information on the view.
Activation Panoramic view system is activated: ● engaging reverse gear
● touching the camera icon ë in
the Info Display
● approaching too close to an object ahead
Functionality

Rear view displays an image of the
area behind the vehicle on the right
part of the screen when reverse gear
is engaged.
A warning triangle 9 may be
displayed on the screen when
obstacles are detected by the rear
sensors of the parking assist. This
triangle changes from yellow to red
and increases in size the closer the
object gets.The previous content of the Info
Display appears when the vehicle is
shifted out of reverse gear after a short delay. To return to the previous
display content sooner, press the
camera icon in the Info Display.
Driving faster than 7 mph in a forward
gear will deactivate the panoramic
system also.

area in front of the vehicle on the right
part of the screen. The view displays
after shifting from reverse gear to a
forward gear, or by touching the
camera icon in the Info Display. Front
view also displays objects
automatically detected within 30 cm.
The front view is only displayed up to a speed of 7 mph in a forward gear.

Traffic sign assistant Functionality
Traffic sign assistant detects
designated traffic signs via a front
camera and displays them in the
Driver Information Centre.
If the vehicle is equipped with an
embedded navigation system, traffic signs from data maps may be
included additionally.

224Driving and operating

timeout.
Indication of multiple signs on the
display is possible.
An exclamation mark in a frame
indicates that there is an additional
sign detected which cannot be clearly
identified by the system.
The system operates without loss of
performance up to a speed of
125 mph depending on the lighting
conditions. At night the system is
active up to a speed of 100 mph.
Display indication Information about the currently valid

Driving and operating227Clearing 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 no navigation map data is available and speed drops below32 mph (city entry detection)
● If navigation map data is available and a city entry/exit was
detected due to map data change
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.
System limitations Traffic sign assistant may not operate properly when:
● Vehicle speed is faster than 125 mph.
● 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.
● Traffic signs are completely or partially covered or difficult to
discern.● Traffic signs are incorrectly mounted or damaged.
● Traffic signs do not comply with the Vienna Convention on Road
Signs and Signals (Wiener
Übereinkommen über
Straßenverkehrszeichen).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.

228Driving and operatingThe 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.
Notice
The system is switched off during
detection of ambiguous lane
markings, e.g. in construction areas.
Notice
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 37 mph and
112 mph 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.

Driving and operating229The 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 37 to 112 mph.
● 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.
