Driver Alert Control (DAC) – function

Function

Driver Alert is activated when the vehicle exceeds
a speed of 40 mph (65 km/h) and will remain
active as long as the speed is over approx.
37 mph (60 km/h).

If the vehicle is being driven erratically,
the driver will be alerted by an audible
signal and the message

Driver Alert

Time for a break

is displayed. The

warning will be repeated after a short time if the
driving pattern remains the same.

Press the OK button to erase a message.

WARNING

•

An alert should be taken seriously since it
is sometimes difficult for a driver to real-
ize that he/she is fatigued.

•

In the event of a warning or if the driver
feels fatigued, stop as soon as possible in
a safe place and rest.

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) –

introduction

The LDW function is designed to help reduce
the risk of accidents in situations where the vehi-
cle unintentionally leaves its lane and there is a
risk of driving off the road or into the opposite
lane.

Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Your vehicle may be equipped with Lane
Departure Warning (LDW) or Lane Keeping
Aid (LKA), depending on your choice of
engine. If you are uncertain as to which of these
optional systems is in your vehicle:

•

Press the MY CAR button on the center
console to open the menu system. Scroll to

Settings

Driver support system

. The

system in your vehicle (

Lane Departure

Warning

Lane Keeping Aid

) will be dis-

played there.

If your vehicle is equipped with Lane Keeping Aid
(LKA), see Lane Keeping Aid (LKA) – introduc-
tion (p. 225) for detailed information.

The illustration is generic

LDW uses the camera located at the center,
upper edge of the windshield to monitor the
road's/lane’s side marker lines. If the vehicle
crosses a side marker line or the road’s center
dividing line, the driver will be alerted by an audi-
ble signal.

WARNING

Lane Keeping Aid 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.

or both of the road's side marker lines.

•

The LDW symbol has gray side marker lines:
– the function is in standby mode because
the vehicle's speed is below 40 mph
(65 km/h).

•

The LDW symbol has no side marker lines: –
the function is deactivated.

WARNING

The driver will only be warned once for each
time the wheels cross a marker line. No alarm
will be given if a marker line is between the
wheels.

•

Press the MY CAR button on the center
console to open the menu system. Scroll to

Settings

Driver support system

. The

system in your vehicle (

Warning (LDW), see Lane Departure Warning
(LDW) – introduction (p. 220) for detailed infor-
mation.

LKA function

The LKA function is primarily intended for use on
highways or other major roads with clearly
marked side marker and center lines.

The illustration is generic

LKA uses the camera located at the center,
upper edge of the windshield to monitor the
road's/lane’s side marker lines.

If the vehicle crosses a side marker line or the
road’s center dividing line, LKA will provide active
steering assistance to help steer it back into the
lane.

The driver will also be alerted by vibrations in the
steering wheel.

WARNING

Lane Keeping Aid 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.

Lane Keeping Aid (LKA) – operation

LKA is active at speeds above 40 mph (65 km/h)
on highways or other major roads with clearly
marked side/lane marker and center lines. On
narrow roads where the distance between side/
lane marker lines is less than approximately
8.5 feet ( 2.6 meters), LKA will 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 the road's
side marker lines.

LKA intervening on the right side (the red line)

When LKA is working actively, this is indicated 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 in the but-
ton illuminates when the function is on.

Depending on the number of optional features
installed in the vehicle, there may not be space
for the On/Off button on the center console. If
this is the case, LKA can be switched on or off in
the MY CAR menu system.

The following LKA-related settings can also be
made in MY CAR, under

Steering assist

LKA attempts to keep the vehicle within the
lane's side marker lines.

LKA provides steering assistance

If the vehicle approaches one of the lane's side
marker lines and the turn signals are not
being used, LKA will attempt to steer the vehicle
back into the lane.

Vibration warnings

LKA provides vibrations in the steering wheel and steer-
ing assistance

If the vehicle crosses a marker line, LKA provides
a warning in the form of vibrations in the steering
wheel. This occurs even if the steering 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 vibration warning
or steering assistance, for example, during
dynamic cornering as shown in the illustration
where the driver's view of the road and traffic
conditions make this possible.

Lane Keeping Aid (LKA) – limitations

The camera used by LKA has the same limita-
tions as the human eye. See The camera’s limita-
tions (p. 209) for more information about the
camera's limitations.

In certain cases, it may be difficult for LKA to
assist the driver correctly. In the following
conditions, it may be preferable to turn LKA
off:

•

Road construction areas

•

Winter road conditions

•

Poor road surfaces

•

A very sporty driving style

•

Bad weather conditions with poor visibility

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 not the case, the
driver will be alerted by a text message to
actively steer the vehicle.

If this is not done, LKA will go into standby
mode and will remain disengaged until the
driver begins to actively steer the vehicle
again.

Park assist – introduction

The park assist system is designed to assist you
when driving into parking spaces, garages, etc.
An audible signal and symbols in the audio sys-
tem’s display indicate the distance to the object.

The park assist system utilizes ultrasound sen-
sors in the front bumper and rear bumper(s) to
measure the distance to a vehicle or an object
that may be close to the front or rear of your
vehicle.

Park assist – limitations (p. 233)

A trailer hitch whose wiring is integrated with
the vehicle's electrical system will be taken
into account when measuring the available
space behind the vehicle.

WARNING

•

Park Assist is an information system,
NOT a safety system. This system is
designed to be a supplementary aid when
parking the vehicle. It is not, however,
intended to replace the driver's attention
and judgement.

•

The Park Assist sensors have angles in
which they cannot detect possible
obstructions.

•

Be particularly alert if there are people or
animals near the vehicle.

Visual indicator

The audio system’s display gives an overview of
the vehicle’s position in relation to a detected
object.

The marked sectors in the display indicate that
one or more of the sensors has detected an
object. The closer the car symbol comes to a sec-
tor, the closer the vehicle is to the object.

If the infotainment system is switched off, the
park assist system will not be able to provide a
visual indicator. An audible signal will still be pro-
vided.

DRIVER SUPPORT

231

Audible signal

The Park Assist system uses an intermittent tone
that pulses faster as you come close to an object,
and becomes constant when you are within
approximately 1 ft (30 cm) of an object in front of
or behind the vehicle. If there are objects within
this distance both behind and in front of the vehi-
cle, the tone alternates between front and rear
speakers.

The level of the audible signal can be low-
ered/raised with the infotainment volume
control. The level can also be set in the MY
CAR menu system. See My Car – introduction
(p. 71) for a description of the menu system.

If the volume of another source from the audio
system is high, this will be automatically lowered.

Rear park assist

The distance monitored behind the vehicle is
approximately 5 ft (1.5 m). The audible signal
comes from the rear speakers.

The system must be deactivated when towing a
trailer, carrying bicycles in a rear-mounted carrier,
etc, which could trigger the rear park assist sys-
tem's sensors.
