Cross Traffic Alert *
CTA 85
is a supplementary driver support system
to BLIS 86
that is intended to help the driver
detect vehicles crossing behind the vehicle while backing up.
CTA overview.
CTA supplements BLIS by detecting traffic cross- ing from the side, e.g. when backing out of aparking space. CTA is primarily designed to detect vehicles, but in certain cases can also detect pedestrians orsmaller objects such as bicycles. CTA is only active when the vehicle is moving backward or if reverse gear is engaged. If CTA detects that something is approachingyour vehicle from the side:
• an audible signal will sound from either theleft or right speaker, depending on whichside of your vehicle the object is approachingfrom.
• an icon will illuminate in the PAS 87
graphic
on the screen.
• an icon will appear in the Park Assist Cam-era's Top view.

Driver Alert Control
The Driver Alert Control (DAC) function is designed to help capture the driver becomeaware of erratic behavior, e.g. if the driver is dis-tracted or showing signs of fatigue.
The objective of DAC is to detect slowly deterio- rating driving behavior and is primarily intended tobe used on major roads. The function is notintended for use in city traffic. DAC is activated when the vehicle's speed exceeds 65 km/h (40 mph) and remains activeas long as speeds are above 60 km/h (37 mph).
A camera monitors the traffic lane's marker lines and compares the direction of the road with thedriver's movements of the steering wheel.
If the driving behavior becomes noticeably erratic, the driver willbe alerted by this symbol in theinstrument panel and the mes- sage
Time for a break
soon?.
If driving behavior does not improve but instead becomes even more erratic, the driver will bealerted by the same symbol in the instrument panel, an audible signal and the message

WARNING
•
The Driver Alert Control function is sup- plementary driver support intended tofacilitate driving and help make it safer –it cannot handle all situations in all traffic,weather and road conditions.
• Driver Alert Control must not be used toextend a period of driving. The drivershould plan in breaks at regular intervalsand make sure they are well rested.
• Driver Alert Control is not a substitute forthe driver's attention and judgment. Thedriver is always responsible for ensuringthe vehicle is driven in a safe manner, atthe appropriate speed, with an appropri-ate distance to other vehicles, and inaccordance with current traffic rules andregulations.
WARNING
An alarm from Driver Alert Control should be taken very seriously since a sleepy driver isoften not aware of their own condition. If the alarm sounds or you feel fatigued:
• Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possi- ble and rest.
Studies have shown that it is just as danger- ous to drive while tired as it is to drive underthe influence of alcohol or other stimulants.
