Assistant systems
WARNING
The smart technology fitt
ed into the Emer-
gency Assist cannot overcome the limits im-
posed by the laws of physics; it only works
within the limits of the system. The driver is
responsible for driving the vehicle.
●
Adapt your speed and safety distance to
the vehicle in front of you at all times to suit
the visibility, weather, road and trac condi-
tions.
●
The Emergency Assist cannot always avoid
accidents or serious injuries by itself.
●
If the radar sensor or the camera are cov-
ered or have been altered or damaged, the
system may intervene on the brakes or on the
direction in an inappropriate manner.
●
The Emergency Assist does not react to
people or animal or vehicles crossing your
path or which approach you head-on in the
same lane.
WARNING
If the Emergency Assist Intervenes inoppor-
t
unely, serious accidents and injuries may
occur.
●
If the vehicle behaves dierently than
expected, interrupt the intervention of the
Emergency Assist by over-accelerating,
braking or moving the steering wheel.
●
Do not use Travel Assist or Lane Assist.
Have the system checked by a specialised
workshop.
Troubleshooting
Emergency Assist not available
The control lamp switches on yellow. A relevant
w
arning is also displayed on the instrument
panel screen.
●
The field of vision of the camera is dirty.
Clean the windscreen.
●
The visibility of the camera is diminished due
to weather factors, e.g. snow, or detergent resi-
due or some coating. Clean the windscreen.
●
The visibility of the camera is diminished due
to accessories or adhesives. Leave the area
around the camera’s field of vision free.
●
The camera has been altered or damaged,
e.g. because of damage caused to the wind-
screen. Check for visible damage.
●
There is a fault or a defect. Switch the engine
o and on again.
●
If the fault continues, disconnect the Emer-
gency Assist and consult a specialised work-
shop.
Lane departure warning
(Side Assist)
Introduction
The lane departure warning uses radar sen-
sors to monitor the areas behind the vehicle
›››page6. The system does this by measuring
the vehicle's distance from other vehicles and
its speed dierential. The lane departure warn-
ing will not work at speeds of less than approx.
15km/h (9mph).
The lane width is not detected individually, but
is rather pre-configured in the system. Thus if
you are driving in wide lanes or in between two
lanes, the indications may be incorrect. Further-
more, the system can detect vehicles driving in
the lane next to you (if there are any), and can
also detect stationary objects such as dividers,
and thus give an incorrect indication.
Trailer mode
Side assist is automatically deactivated and
cannot be switched on if the factory-fitted tow-
bar is electrically connected to a trailer or simi-
lar device.
As soon as the driver starts to drive with a trailer
connected electrically to the vehicle, a mes-
sage is displayed on the instrument panel dis-
play indicating that side assist is switched o.
Once the vehicle trailer has been disengaged,
