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

that supplements BLIS and is designed to

the car when it is reversing.
The auto-brake subfunction can help the
driver to stop the car in the event of a risk of
collision with an unobserved vehicle.
Examples of areas where Cross Traffic Alert can
assist the driver to detect obstacles during reversing.
The function is primarily designed to detect
vehicles. In favourable conditions it may also
be able to detect smaller objects, such as
cyclists and pedestrians.
The function is only active if the car rolls back-
wards or if reverse gear has been selected.
If the function senses that something is
approaching from the side, this is indicated
with:
an acoustic signal - the sound is heard in
•
the left-hand or right-hand speaker
according to the direction from which the
object approaches.
an illuminated icon in the Park Assist
