Limitations of Cross Traffic Alert

Limitations of Cross Traffic Alert

The Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) function with

auto-brake

may have limited functionality in

certain situations. Brake intervention is active
at speeds below 15 km/h.

WARNING

The

auto-brake

subfunction can only

detect and brake for other vehicles that are

moving –

not

for stationary obstacles, a

cyclist or a pedestrian, for example.

CTA has a certain limitation – the CTA sensors
cannot "see" through other parked vehicles or
obstructions, for example.

Here are some examples of situations where
CTA’s "field of vision" may be already limited
and approaching vehicles cannot therefore be
detected until they are very close:

360

The car is parked deep inside a parking slot.

In an angled parking slot CTA may be completely

“blind” on one side.

Blind CTA sector.

Sector in which CTA can detect/“see”.

However, as your car slowly reverses, the
angle it makes with the obstructing vehicle/

object changes and the blind sector rapidly
decreases.

Examples of further limitations

•

The

auto-brake

subfunction only detects

moving vehicles and therefore

cannot

"see" and brake for stationary obstacles, a
cyclist or a pedestrian, for example.

•

Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors
may reduce the functions and deactivate
alerts.

•

CTA is automatically deactivated if a
trailer, bicycle rack or similar is connected
to the car's electrical system.

•

For good performance of CTA, there
should be no bicycle rack, luggage carrier
or similar mounted on the car's towbar.

Limitations for camera and radar unit
(p. 333)

This function uses the car's camera and
radar units, which have certain general lim-
itations.

Road Sign Information

The Road Sign Information function (RSI

)

can help the driver to observe speed-related
road signs and certain prohibition signs.

Examples of readable signs

RSI can provide information about such things
as current speed, when a motorway or road is
starting/ending, when overtaking is prohibited
or when the direction of travel is one-way.

If the car passes a speed limit sign, it will be
shown on the driver's display and the head-up
display

Display mode for road sign

information

The Road Sign Information function (RSI

)

shows road signs in different ways depend-
ing on the sign and the situation.

Example

of detected speed information.

When the function detects a road sign with an
imposed speed limit, the driver display shows
the sign as a symbol combined with a col-
oured indication on the speedometer.

If the car is fitted with Sensus Navigation

speed-related information is also obtained
from map data, which means that the driver
display can show or change information on
the speed limit without having passed a
speed-related sign.

An additional

sign, such as

"no overtaking", may be
shown together with the
speed limit symbol.

If the driver enters a road
marked with a no-entry sign
at the roadside, the symbol
for this sign

flashes on and

off on the driver display as a
warning.

If the car is equipped with Sensus Navigation

information from map data is used to deter-
mine whether the car is being driven in the
wrong direction.

The driver can also get an acoustic warning
when driving towards a road marked with a
no-entry sign if the

Road Sign Audio

Warning

function is activated.

Speed limit or end of motorway

When the function detects an "indirect speed
limit sign" stating the end of the current speed
limit – e.g. at the end of a motorway – a sym-
bol appears with the corresponding road sign
in the driver's display.

If the car is equipped with Sensus Navigation

direct speed limit signs are normally displayed

– indirect speed limit signs are only displayed
if map data has no information on the speed
limit for the road section in question.

Example of indirect speed limit sign

End of all restrictions.

End of motorway.

The driver display symbol extinguishes after
10-30 seconds and remains so until the next
speed related sign is passed.

Changed speed limit

When passing a direct speed limit sign when a
speed limit changes, a symbol with the corres-
ponding road sign appears in the driver's dis-
play.

Example of direct speed limit
sign

The driver display symbol extinguishes after
about 5 minutes until the next speed-related
sign is passed.

If the car is fitted with Sensus Navigation

speed limit signs are shown in the driver dis-
play when map data contains information on
the speed limit for the road section in ques-
tion, even if no direct sign has been passed. If
there is no information in map data, the sign
goes off after approx. 3 minutes after the last
passing of a speed limit sign.

Road signs are market-dependent - the illustrations in these instructions only show examples.

Additional signs

Examples of additional signs

Sometimes different speed limits are signed
for the same road - an additional sign then
indicates the circumstances under which the
different speeds apply. The road section may
be particularly susceptible to accidents in rain
and/or fog, for example.

An additional sign relating to rain is displayed
only if the windscreen wipers are in use.

If a trailer is connected to the car's electrical
system and you pass a speed sign with the
additional sign "trailer", the indicated speed
will appear on the driver display.

Some speed limits only apply
after a certain distance or at a
certain time of day. The driv-
er's attention is drawn to this
fact by means of a symbol for
an additional sign below the
speed symbol. The additional

symbol in the driver display will show either
“DIST” or “TIME”.

A symbol for additional sign
in the form of an empty frame
under the driver display's
speed symbol

means that

the function has detected an
additional sign with supple-
mentary information for the

current speed limit.

Sign for "School" and "Children at
play"

If a warning sign

for

"School" or "Children at play"
is included in the satellite
navigator's map data

, the

driver display shows a sign of
this type.

Road Sign Information and Sensus

Navigation

If the car is equipped with Sensus Navigation

speed information is read from the navigation
unit in the following cases:

•

On detection of signs that indirectly indi-
cate a speed limit, such as motorway, dual
carriageway and city limit signs.

•

If a previously detected speed sign is
assumed not to apply any longer, but no
new sign has been detected.

In certain markets, the Road Sign Informa-
tion function

is only available in combina-

tion with Sensus Navigation

If a downloaded third-party app is used for
navigation then there is no support for
speed-related information.

Warning for speed limitation and

speed camera from road sign

information

Road sign information (RSI

) includes sub-

functions that can warn the driver if a speed
limit has been exceeded or in connection with
speed cameras.

Examples of information on speed camera and speed

limit in the driver display.

Speed Limit Warning

The speed warning is given
by the driver display sym-
bol

100

showing the applicable

maximum permitted speed
temporarily flashing when
this speed is exceeded.

A speed warning is always given if the speed
limit is exceeded in connection with speed
camera information.

Speed Limit Warning

warns the driver when

the applicable speed limit or a preselected
"top speed" is exceeded – this warning is
repeated once after approx. 30 seconds
within the same speed limit area unless the
driver reduces the speed.

Another warning is available only when the
driver has reduced the speed by at least
5 km/h (3 mph) and then exceeds the speed
limit again, or when the car reaches a new/
different speed limit area.

To get an acoustic warning if you exceed
the required speed, the

Speed Limit

Warning

function must be activated and

the

Road Sign Audio Warning

subfunc-

tion must be set to

. An acoustic warn-

ing is then given if the car's speed exceeds
the speed indicated by the Road Sign
Information function in the driver display.

function activated,

a speed warning is given when the car
approaches a speed camera, provided that the
navigation map for the area in question con-
tains information on speed cameras.

An option is available to receive an acous-
tic warning for speed cameras independ-
ently of the car's speed and exceeded
speed limit, and even if the

Driver Alert Control

The Driver Alert Control (DAC) function is
intended to help make the driver aware that
he or she is starting to drive less consistently,
e.g. if the driver becomes distracted or starts
to fall asleep.

The objective for DAC is to detect slowly dete-
riorating driving ability and it is primarily
intended for major roads. The function is not
intended for city traffic.

The function is activated when speed exceeds
65 km/h (40 mph) and remains active as long
as the speed is over 60 km/h (37 mph).

DAC reads the position of the car in the lane.

A camera detects the edge markings painted
on the carriageway and compares the align-
ment of the road with the driver’s steering
wheel movements.

The car is being driven erratically in the lane.

If driving behaviour becomes
noticeably inconsistent, the
driver is alerted by this sym-
bol in the driver display, com-
bined with an acoustic signal
and the text message

Time

to take a break

If the car is equipped with Sensus Navigation

and has the function

Rest Stop Guidance

activated, suggestions for an appropriate
place for a break are also displayed.

The warning is repeated after a time if driving
behaviour has not improved.

WARNING

Driver Alert Control should not be used to

extend a period of driving. The driver

should instead plan for breaks at regular

intervals and make sure they are well

rested.

WARNING

An alarm from Driver Alert Control should

be taken very seriously, as a sleepy driver is

often not aware of his/her own condition.
If the alarm sounds or you feel fatigued:

•

Stop the car safely as soon as possible
and rest.

Studies have shown that it is just as dan-

gerous to drive while tired as it is to drive

under the influence of alcohol or other

stimulants.

Limitations of Driver Alert Control

The Driver Alert Control (DAC) function may
have limitations in certain situations.

In some cases the system may issue a warn-
ing despite driving ability not deteriorating, for
example:

•

in strong side winds

•

on rutted road surfaces.

WARNING

In some cases, driving behaviour is not

affected despite driver fatigue – e.g. when

using the Pilot Assist

function – resulting

in the driver not getting a warning from

DAC.
It is therefore important to always stop and

take a break at the slightest feeling of fati-

gue, regardless of whether the function has

given a warning.

Lane assistance

The function of the Lane Keeping Aid
(LKA

106

) is to help the driver to reduce the

risk of the car accidentally leaving its own
lane on motorways and similar major routes.

Lane Keeping Aid steers the car back into its
lane and/or alerts the driver with vibrations in
the steering wheel.

Lane Keeping Aid is active within the speed
range 65–200 km/h (40–125 mph) on roads
with clearly visible side lines.

On narrow roads the function may be unavail-
able, in which case it goes into standby mode.
The function becomes available again when
the road is wide enough.

A camera reads the side lines of the road/lane.

Lane assistance steers the car back into its lane.

Lane assistance warns with steering wheel vibra-

tions.

Depending on settings, lane assistance acts in
accordance with the following:

•

Assist

activated: When the car is

approaching a lane line, the function will
actively steer the car back into its lane by
applying a slight torque to the steering
wheel.

•

Warning

activated: If the car is about to

cross a lane line, the driver is warned by
means of vibrations in the steering wheel.

There is also an option where both steering
assistance and warning are activated simulta-
neously.
