Park Assist Camera (PAC) *
limitations
The Park Assist Camera system has certain limi- tations that the driver should be aware of.
NOTE
Bicycle carriers or other accessories mounted on the tailgate may obstruct the camera'sfield of vision.
Blind sectorsEven if a fairly small section of the screen image appears to be obstructed, this may mean that arelatively large area is hidden and objects theremay not be detected until they are very near thevehicle.
The "blind" sectors between the cameras' fields of vision
• With 360° view selected, objects/obstacles
may not be detected at the edges of the indi- vidual cameras' fields of vision.
• A crossed-out camera icon means that thecamera is not functioning properly.
Ambient lightingThe camera images are adjusted automatically to the ambient light, which means the image mayvary slightly in terms of light and quality. Poorambient lighting may reduce the quality of theimage.
Maintenance
• Keep the camera's lens free of dirt, ice and snow. This is particularly important in poorambient lighting conditions.
• Remove dirt, ice and snow carefully to avoidscratching the lenses.
• Clean the lens regularly with warm water anda suitable car washing detergent.

Park Assist Pilot (PAP) *
Park Assist Pilot (PAP) helps the driver drive into and leave parallel parking spaces.
Park Assist Pilot (PAP) provides assistance when parking by measuring the parking space andturning the steering wheel to guide the vehicleinto the space. Information about the actions required by the driver is provided in the center display in the formof symbols, images and text.
NOTE
The driver's task is to follow the instructions, select a gear ( D or R), regulate the vehicle's
speed, apply the brakes when necessary and stop.

2: Backing into the parking space
Parallel parking
Perpendicular parking
When the vehicle is backing up, PAP will steer it into the parking space. Do as follows:
1. Check that the area behind the vehicle isclear and put the gear selector in R.
2. Back up slowly without moving the steering wheel. The vehicle's speed must be below approximately 4 mph 7 km/h.
3. Keep an eye on the instrument panel and be prepared to stop the vehicle when you areinstructed by PAP to do so.
NOTE
• Release the wheel while PAP is steering the vehicle.
• The steering wheel must be able to turnfreely.
• For PAP to function optimally, wait untilthe steering wheel is no longer turningbefore beginning the next phase of theparking procedure.
3: Adjusting the vehicle's position

Put the gear selector in D, wait until the
steering wheel has turned and drive forward 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 PAP todo so.
When the parking procedure is finished (this will be indicated by a text message and a graphicimage), PAP switches off automatically. If neces-sary, the driver may need to make minor adjust-ments to ensure that the vehicle is parked cor-rectly.
CAUTION
The warning distance is shorter when PAP is using the sensors than when Park Assist isusing them.
Leaving a parking spaceThis function can only be used for a vehicle that has been par-allel parked and is activated inthe center display's Functionview. 1. Tap the
Park out button in
the center display's Function view.
2. Follow the instructions provided. The proce- dure is the same as when parking the vehicle. The steering wheel may turn back slightly when the function is completed and the driver mayhave to turn the back before leaving the parkingspace. If PAP determines that the driver can leave the parking space without assistance, the functionwill deactivate before the vehicle is completelyout of the space.

The PAP function may be limited in certain situa- tions.
The PAP parking sequence is cancelledA parking sequence will be cancelled:
• if the vehicle is driven too fast (above approx. 4 mph (7 km/h)
• if the driver taps
Cancel in the center display
• if the driver moves the steering wheel with sufficient force.
• if the anti-lock brakes or Electronic StabilityControl are activated (e.g., if a wheel beginsto spin or lose traction)
In such cases, a text message will explain why the parking sequence was cancelled.
NOTE
• PAP will not function correctly if its sen- sors are obstructed by dirt, snow, etc.
• In certain situations, PAP may not be ableto measure a parking space. This couldbe due to external sources of sound (e.g.,a vehicle's horn, tires on wet asphalt,pneumatic brakes, noise from a motorcy-cle's exhaust, etc.) emitting ultrasoundusing approximately the same frequen-cies as PAP.

Adjustable steering force*
Steering force increases with the speed of the vehicle to give the driver an enhanced sense ofcontrol and stability. At low speed the vehicle iseasier to steer in order to facilitate parking, etc.
Changing the steering force levelTo change the level of steering force, see theinformation under the heading "individual" in arti-cle "Drive modes" for additional information.
NOTE
•This steering force level menu function cannot be accessed when the vehicle isin motion.
• In certain situations, the power steeringfunction may become too hot and mustbe temporarily cooled. During cooling,power steering effect will be reduced andmore force may be necessary to turn thesteering wheel and a message will bedisplayed in the instrument panel.

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) helps reduce wheel spin, counteract skidding and to generallyhelp improve directional stability.
A pulsating sound will be audi- ble when the system is activelyoperating and is normal. Accel-eration may also be slightlyslower than normal.
WARNING
ESC is a supplementary aid and cannot deal with all situations or road conditions. The driver is always responsible for operating the vehicle in a safe manner in accordancewith current traffic regulations.
ESC consists of the following functions: • Traction control
• Spin control
• Active Yaw Control
• Engine Drag Control
• Trailer Stability Assist
Traction controlThis function is designed to help reduce wheel spin by transferring power from a drive wheel that begins to lose traction to the wheel on the oppo-site side of the vehicle (on the same axle).
Spin controlThis function is designed to help prevent thedrive wheels from spinning while the vehicle isaccelerating.
Active Yaw ControlAt low speeds, this function helps maintain direc-tional stability by braking one or more of thewheels if the vehicle shows a tendency to skid orslide laterally.
Engine Drag Control EDCEDC helps keep the engine running if the wheelsshow a tendency to lock, e.g., when shifting downin the manual shifting mode or while using theengine's braking function on a slippery surface. Ifthe wheels were to lock, the vehicle wouldbecome more difficult to steer.
Trailer Stability Assist
*4TSA helps stabilize a vehicle that is towing atrailer when the vehicle and trailer have begun tosway. This system is automatically deactivated if the driver selects
Sport mode.

Electronic Stability Control (ESC) sport mode
ESC is always activated and cannot be switched off.
However, the driver can select Sport mode,
which offers more active driving characteristics. In Sport mode, the engine management system
monitors movement of the accelerator pedal and steering wheel for sportier driving and allowsmore lateral movement of the rear wheels beforeESC is triggered. Under certain circumstances, such as when driv- ing with snow chains, or driving in deep snow orloose sand, it may be advisable to temporarily use Sport mode for maximum tractive force.
If the driver releases pressure on the accelerator pedal, ETC will also activate to help stabilize thevehicle.
Activating/deactivating Sport modeIn the center display's Function view, tap ESC Sport Mode.
The green indicator light in the button will illuminate to showthat the function has been acti-vated or gray when the functionis deactivated.
When Sport mode is activated, this
symbol will illuminate in the instrument panel. It will remain on until the driverdeactivates the function. ETC will also
return to normal mode when the engine is restar-ted.

Maintenance
The BLIS/CTA5
sensors are located on the
inside of the rear fenders/bumper.
Keep the highlighted area clean (on both sides of the vehicle)
For the system to function optimally, the area over and around the sensors must be kept clean. If one or both of the sensors are blocked and "
Rear sensors blocked, cleaning needed" is
displayed in the instrument panel, clean the area over and around the sensors as soon as possible. A text message can be erased by briefly pressing the O button on the right-side steering wheel

Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) *
Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) is a supplementary part of Blind Spot Information and is intended todetect vehicles crossing behind your vehiclewhile you are backing up.
When does Cross Traffic Alert function
Principle for CTA
CTA supplements BLIS by warning the driver of crossing traffic behind your vehicle, for example,when backing out of a parking space. It is primarily designed to detect another vehicle but in certain cases may also detect pedestriansor smaller objects such as bicycles. CTA is only activated when the vehicle is rolling rearward or backing up and is activated automati-cally when the gear selector is put in reverse.

Driving lane assistance
The
Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Lane
Keeping Aid (LKA) * functions are designed to
help reduce the risk of accidents in situations where the vehicle unintentionally leaves its laneon highways or other major roads.
Driving lane assistance systems: LDW
or LKA
There are two versions of the driving lane assis- tance system:
• LDW (
Lane Departure Warning): provides
an audible signal or vibrations in the steering wheel.
• LKA (
Lane Keeping Aid): actively steers the
vehicle to help keep it in its traffic lane and/or alerts the driver using an audible sig-nal or through vibrations in the steeringwheel.
The driving lane assistance systems are active at speeds from approx. 40 mph (65 km/h) up to thevehicle's permitted top speed on roads withclearly visible traffic lane marker lines. On narrow roads, the systems may not function and will go into standby mode. They will return toactive mode if the road becomes sufficientlywide.
A camera monitors the road/traffic lane's marker lines
Both LDW and LKA provide vibrations in the steering wheel 6
LKA attempts to steer the vehicle back into its lane
Depending on the version and settings used, driving lane assistance functions in differentways:
• If the system is activated (either LDW or LKA): if the driver does not react and thevehicle is moving out of its traffic lane, anaudible signal and/or vibrations in the steer-ing wheel will be provided.
• If the system is activated (LKA only): whenthe vehicle approaches a traffic lane markerline, LKA will provide active steering assis-tance to help steer it back into the lane.
6
The level of vibrations varies; the longer the vehicle is over a lane marker line, the greater the number of vibrations:

DRIVER SUPPORT
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.339
NOTE
If the turn signal is used, neither of the driving lane assistance systems (LDW or LKA) willprovide an alert or steering assistance.
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.
Steering assistance (LKA only)In order for LKA's steering assistance to function, the driver's hands must be on the steering wheel,which the system monitors continuously.
If this is not the case, this sym-bol will illuminate in the instru- ment panel and
Lane Keeping
Aid Apply steering will appear
to alert the driver to actively steer the vehicle.
If the driver does not take action, an audible sig- nal will sound and LKA will go into standby mode.The function will not become available again untilthe driver actively steers the vehicle.
Dynamic cornering
The traffic lane assistance systems do not intervene in sharp curves
In certain cases, such as during active driving or if the turn signal is used, neither of the traffic lanesystems will react if the vehicle crosses a lanemarker line.
LimitationsIn certain demanding driving situations, the driv-ing lane assistance functions may not be able toassist the driver. In these situations, it may beadvisable to turn the function off. Examples of these situations: • road construction
• poor road surfaces
• edges or lines other than the lane's marker lines
• a very active driving style •
winter driving conditions
• bad weather with reduced visibility
The driving lane assistance function use the vehi- cle's camera, which has general limitations. Seethe article "Camera limitations."
