* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.189
Introduction
The Driver Alert System is designed to help a driver who may be becoming fatigued or whois inadvertently leaving the lane and consistsof two different functions that can beswitched on together or separately.
• Driver Alert Control (DAC)
• Lane Departure Warning (LDW) 1
, see
page 191
• Lane Keeping Aid (LKA) 2
, see page 194
When one or both of the functions has beenswitched on, it is in standby mode and is acti-vated when the vehicle exceeds a speed of40 mph (65 km/h). The function deactivates if the vehicle's speed goes under 37 mph (60 km/h). Both functions use a camera that is depend- ent on the road/lane being clearly marked bypainted lines on each side.
WARNING
The Driver Alert System does not function in all situations and is designed to be asupplementary aid. It is not, however,intended to replace the driver’s attentionand judgement.
Driver Alert Control (DAC)
This function is intended to alert the driver if his/her driving becomes erratic, such as if thedriver is distracted or fatigued.
NOTE
The camera has certain limitations, see page 166.
A camera monitors the painted lines marking the lane in which the vehicle is traveling andcompares the direction of the road with thedriver’s movements of the steering wheel.The driver is alerted if the vehicle does notfollow the lane smoothly. DAC is designed to help detect a slowlychanging driving pattern. It is primarilyintended to be used on main roads and is notmeant for use in city traffic.
WARNING
•
DAC is not intended to extend the duration of driving. Always plan breaksat regular intervals to help remain alert.
• In certain cases, fatigue may not affectthe driver’s behavior. In situations ofthis type, no warning will be provided.Therefore, it is important to takebreaks at regular intervals, regardlessof whether or not DAC has given awarning.
LimitationsIn certain situations, DAC may provide warn- ings even if the driver’s driving pattern hasnot become erratic.
• if the driver is testing the LDW function, see page 191
• if the driver is testing the LKA function,see page 194
• in strong crosswinds
• on grooved road surfaces.

Lane Keeping Aid (LKA) 2
See page 191 for information about determin- ing if your vehicle is equipped with LaneDeparture Warning or Lane Keeping Aid This function is designed to help reduce the risk of accidents in situations where the vehi-cle unintentionally leaves its lane and there isa risk of driving off the road or into the oppo-site lane. It is primarily intended for use onhighways or other major roads with clearlymarked side marker and center lines.
How LKA works
The illustration is generic
LKA uses the camera located at the center, upper edge of the windshield to monitor theroad's/lane’s side marker lines. If the vehicle crosses a side marker line or theroad’s center dividing line, LKA will provideactive steering assistance to help steer itback into the lane. The driver will also be alerted by vibrations in the steering wheel.
WARNING
This feature is only intended to assist the driver and does not function in all driving,weather, traffic or road conditions. As the driver, you have full responsibility for operating the vehicle in a safe manner.
Operation and functionLKA is active at speeds above 40 mph (65 km/h) on highways or other major roadswith clearly marked side/lane marker andcenter lines. On narrow roads where the dis-tance between side/lane marker lines is lessthan approximately 8.5 feet ( 2.6 meters), LKAwill be temporarily deactivated.
LKA monitors and follows the marker lines (the red lines in the illustration)
• White
side marker lines: the function is
active and "sees" one or both of the road's side marker lines.
• Gray
side marker lines: the function is
active but cannot "see" one or both of theroad's side marker lines.

LKA intervening on the right side (the red line)
When LKA is working actively, this is indi- cated by:
• Red
side marker line: the line being
crossed.
On/Off
LKA can be switched on or off by pressing the button on the center console. A light inthe button illuminates when the function ison. Depending on the number of optional fea- tures installed in the vehicle, there may not bespace for the On/Off button on the centerconsole. If this is the case, LKA can beswitched on or off in the MY CAR menu sys-
tem. The following LKA-related settings can also be made in MY CAR, under

Vibration warnings
LKA provides vibrations in the steering wheel and steering assistance 4
.
If the vehicle crosses a marker line, LKA pro- vides a warning in the form of vibrations inthe steering wheel. This occurs even if thesteering assist function has been deactivated.
Dynamic cornering
LKA does not intervene in sharp left curves
In certain cases, LKA allows the vehicle to cross marker lines without providing a vibra-tion warning or steering assistance, for exam-ple, during dynamic cornering as shown inthe illustration where the driver's view of theroad and traffic conditions make this possi-ble.
LimitationsThe camera used by LDW has the same limi-tations as the human eye. See page 183 for more information about the camera's limita-tions.
NOTE
In certain cases, it may be difficult for LKA to assist the driver correctly. In the follow-ing conditions, it may be preferable to turnLKA off:
• Road construction areas
• Winter road conditions
• Poor road surfaces
• A very sporty driving style
• Bad weather conditions with poor visi- bility
WARNING
Hands on the steering wheel
: In order for
LKA to function correctly, the driver's hands have to be on the steering wheel,which LKA monitors steadily. If this is notthe case, the driver will be alerted by a textmessage to actively steer the vehicle. If this is not done, LKA will go into standby mode and will remain disengaged until thedriver begins to actively steer the vehicleagain.

}}
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.203
Using PAC
Activation
PAC is activated when the gear selector is moved to R if the system is selected in the
MY CAR menu system or by pressing the
CAM button in the center console. See page
219 for a description of the menu system. PAC will automatically override the view cur- rently displayed on the screen and display thecamera's view behind the vehicle.
ZoomThe camera can be useful when attaching atrailer. Press CAM to zoom in on the trailer
hitch (and press this button again to return tothe normal camera view). With the camera zoomed in on the trailerhitch, a guiding line showing the hitch's pathtoward the trailer will be projected. This fea-ture can be activated in the
MY CAR menu.
See page 219 for a description of the menusystem. The guiding lines for the wheels (seethe following section "Guiding lines") and forthe trailer hitch cannot be displayed at thesame time. If the camera shows an enlarged (zoomed) image, turn TUNE, or press CAM to return to
a normal view.
DeactivationMove the gear selector from R to another
gear. The camera remains active for approx.5 seconds after the gear selector has beenmoved from R or until the vehicle's forward
speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h)(21 mph/35 km/h in reverse). The screen willthen revert to the view that was displayedbefore R was selected.
NOTE
If any button on the center console control panel is pressed, the camera image willdisappear from the display. Pressing CAM
will return the camera image to the display.
Guiding lines
The lines on the screen are projected as if they were a path on the ground behind thevehicle and are directly affected by the way inwhich the steering wheel is turned. This ena-bles the driver to see path the vehicle willtake, even if he/she turns the steering wheelwhile backing up.
NOTE
When backing up with a trailer, the guiding lines show the path that the vehicle will
take, not the trailer.

Park Assist Pilot (PAP)*
04
206* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Introduction
The off/on button shown is located on the center console
Park Assist Pilot (PAP) is a semi-automatic system that provides assistance when parallelparking by:
• Finding a parking space and determining if it is big enough for the vehicle
• Helping to steer the vehicle into the park-ing space
Information about the actions required of the driver is provided in the instrument panel inthe form of symbols, images and text.
NOTE
If a trailer hitch is configured in the vehi- cle's electrical system, PAP will take thetrailer hitch into consideration when deter-mining the necessary size of a parkingspace.
WARNING
• PAP does not function in all situations and is only intended to assist thedriver when parallel parking.
• As the driver, you have full responsibil-ity for parking the vehicle in a safemanner.
Function
PAP's function is to measure the parking space and to turn the steering wheel duringthe parallel parking procedure. The driver isresponsible for following the instructionsshown in the instrument panel and for: shift-ing between
R (Reverse) and D (Drive) when
required, regulating the vehicle's speed,applying the brakes and stopping the vehicle. PAP can be activated in the following condi- tions: •
When the stability or ABS systems are not working actively
• The vehicle is not towing a trailer
• The vehicle's speed is below30 mph (50 km/h)How PAP works
PAP helps park the vehicle by:
1. Searching for and measuring a parking space. While this is taking place, the vehi- cle's speed must be below 20 mph(30 km/h). See also steps A and B in the
illustration in the section "1: Searchingand measuring" on page 207.
2. Steering the vehicle as it backs into the parking space. See also steps C and D in

04 Driver support

208* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
NOTE
• Release the wheel while PAP is steer- ing the vehicle.
• The steering wheel must be able toturn freely.
• For PAP to function optimally, waituntil the steering wheel is no longerturning before beginning the nextphase of the parallel parking proce-dure.
3: Adjusting the vehicle's position
After the vehicle has backed into the parking space, its position in the space has to beadjusted by driving slightly forward and back-ing up. 1. Put the gear selector in
D, wait until the
steering wheel has turned and drive for- ward slowly.
2. Stop the vehicle when you are instructed by PAP to do so.
3. Put the gear selector in R, back up slowly
and stop when you are instructed by PAPto do so.
When the parking procedure is finished (this will be indicated by a text message and agraphic image in the instrument panel) , PAPswitches off automatically. If necessary, thedriver may need to make minor adjustmentsto ensure that the vehicle is parked correctly.
Limitations
The PAP parking procedure will be cancelled if.
• The vehicle's speed goes above approxi- mately 4 mph 7 km/h
• The driver moves the steering wheel
• If the stability or ABS systems are acti-vated (e.g., if a wheel starts to spinbecause of a slippery road surface
If the system has been switched off, this will be indicated by a text message in the instru-ment panel.
NOTE
• PAP will not function correctly if its sensors are obstructed by dirt, snow,etc.
• In certain situations, PAP may not beable to measure a parking space. Thiscould be due to external sources ofsound (e.g., a vehicle's horn, tires onwet asphalt, pneumatic brakes, noisefrom a motorcycle's exhaust, etc.)emitting ultrasound using approxi-mately the same frequencies as PAP.
Information to keep in mindPAP is only intended to provide parallel park- ing assistance but may not be able to func-tion fully in all situations.
• PAP's function is based on the way that the vehicles are parked behind and infront of your parking space. If they are,for example, parked too close to the curb,there is a risk that your vehicle's tires orwheel rims could be damaged by thecurb during the parking procedure.
• PAP is intended to provide parking assis-tance on straight streets, not sections ofstreet with curved or irregular curbs. Besure that your vehicle is parallel to thecurb when PAP measures the parkingspace.
