Rear Collision Warning
The Rear Collision Warning (RCW) function canhelp the driver avoid rear-end collisions fromvehicles approaching from behind.
RCW is automatically activated each time theengine is started.
RCW can warn the driver of a potential collisionwith vehicles approaching from behind by rapidlyflashing the turn signals.
If, at a speed below 30 km/h (20 mph), the RCWfunction detects that the car is in danger of beinghit from behind, the seatbelt tensioners may ten-sion the front seatbelts and activate the WhiplashProtection System safety system.
Immediately before a collision from behind, RCWmay also activate the foot brake in order toreduce the forward acceleration of the car duringthe collision. However, the brakes will only beapplied if your vehicle is stationary. The brakeswill be immediately released if the acceleratorpedal is depressed.

Rear Collision Warning limitations
In some situations, it may be difficult for RCW towarn the driver of a collision risk.
This may be the case if:
the vehicle approaching from the rear isdetected at a late stage
the vehicle approaching from the rearchanges lanes at a late stage
the vehicle approaching from the rear is mov-ing at a speed above 80 km/h (50 mph)
a trailer, bicycle holder or similar is con-nected to the vehicle's electrical system - theRCW function will then be automaticallydeactivated.
NOTE
In certain markets RCW does not warn withthe direction indicators due to local trafficregulations – in such cases, that part of thefunction is deactivated.
NOTE
The warning with direction indicators for RearCollision Warning is deactivated if the colli-sion warning distance in the City Safety func-tion is set to the lowest level "Late".
The seat belt tensioning and braking func-tions remain active.

Rapidly approaching vehicle zone.
The BLIS function is active at speedsabove 10 km/h (6 mph).
The system is designed to react to:
vehicles passing your vehicle
vehicles that are rapidly approaching yourvehicle from behind.
When BLIS detects a vehicle in zone 1 or a rap-idly approaching vehicle in zone 2, an indicatorlight will illuminate in the relevant rearview mirrorand glow steadily. If the driver then uses the turnsignal on the side in which the warning has been

Cross Traffic Alert*
CTA81 is a supplementary driver support system
to BLIS82 that is intended to help the driverdetect vehicles crossing behind the vehiclewhile 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, butin certain cases can also detect pedestrians orsmaller objects such as bicycles.
CTA is only active when the vehicle is movingbackward 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 PAS83 graphicon the screen.
an icon will appear in the Park Assist Cam-era's Top view.

Cross Traffic Alert limitations
CTA86 functionality may be reduced in certainsituations.
CTA does not function optimally in all situationsand has certain limitations. The CTA sensors, forexample, cannot "see" through other parkedvehicles or objects blocking the vehicle.
Below are a few examples of situations in whichCTA's field of vision may be initially limited andapproaching vehicles may therefore not bedetected until they are very close to your vehicle:
The vehicle is parked very far into a parking space.
In a diagonal parking space, CTA may be completely"blind" on one side of your vehicle.
CTA's blind zone.
CTA's field of vision.
However, as you back your vehicle slowly out of aparking space, CTA's field of vision changes inrelation to the obstructing vehicle/object and itsblind zone is reduced.
