DRIVER SUPPORT
Your vehicle is equipped with a number of functions to help you drive
safely and help prevent accidents. These functions are activated in the
center display's function view. Keep in mind that these driver support
functions are only aids. The driver always has full responsibility for oper-
ating the vehicle in a safe manner. A selection of these is listed below:
City Safety™

City Safety
can help assist the driver in critical situations in order to
help prevent or mitigate a collision with other vehicles, large animals,
pedestrians or cyclists. Visual, acoustic and haptic signals are given to
alert the driver of a collision and assist you to act in time to avoid it. If
the driver does not react quickly enough and a collision is imminent, the
system can automatically apply the brakes. City Safety is activated when
the engine is started and cannot be disabled.
Blind Spot Information (BLIS)*
BLIS can notify the driver of vehicles in your blind spot and of
rapidly approaching vehicles in adjacent lanes.
Cross Traffic Alert (CTA)*
CTA is a supplementary driver support system for BLIS that
can alert drivers to crossing traffic behind the vehicle. CTA is
activated when reverse gear is engaged or if the vehicle is roll-
ing backward.

Lane Keeping Aid can help the driver reduce the risk of the
vehicle unintentionally veering out of the lane. To select the

keeping the vehicle in its own lane and at a set distance to the vehicle
ahead. Pilot Assist is selected and activated using the left-side steering
wheel keypad. For steering assistance to be possible, certain conditions
must be met, e.g. the driver's hands must be on the steering wheel and
the lane markings must be visible. When steering assistance is active, a
GREEN steering wheel symbol will be displayed in the instrument
panel.
