When using driver assistance

systems, always take care

regarding the current traffic

The system maintains the vehicle

speed at the preset speed by the

driver, without any action on the

accelerator pedal.

The preset speed can be exceeded

temporarily by pressing the

accelerator pedal firmly.

The status and preset speed is

Do not use the cruise control if it is not

advisable to maintain a constant

moving too slowly and the selected

following distance cannot be

to avoid or reduce the harm caused

by front-end crashes with pedestrians

when driving forward.

●

The system uses the front camera in

the windscreen and a radar unit in the

front bumper to detect a pedestrian

directly ahead in your path.

Front pedestrian protection includes:

Front-rear parking assist

The front-rear parking assist

measures the distance between the

vehicle and obstacles in front and

behind the vehicle. It informs and

warns the driver by giving acoustic

signals and display indication.

It uses two different acoustic warning

signals for the front and rear

monitoring areas, each with a

different tone frequency.

Indication

Depending on which side of the

vehicle is closer to an obstacle, you

will hear acoustic warning signals in

the vehicle on the respective side.

The interval between the sounds

becomes shorter as the vehicle gets

closer to that obstacle. When the

distance is less than approx. 30 cm,

the sound is continuous.

reminder symbol € in the Driver

Information Centre simultaneously

9 Warning

Driver drowsiness detection

Persons with a pacemaker should

consult a doctor for possible

precautions.

The system monitors the driver's level

of vigilance. A camera at the top of the

windscreen detects variations in

trajectory compared to the lane

markings. This system is particularly

suited to fast roads (speed higher

than 40 mph).

If the trajectory of the vehicle

suggests a certain level of

drowsiness or inattention by the

driver, the system triggers the first

level of alert. The driver is notified by

a message and an audible signal is

given.
