DRIVER SUPPORT
A number of standard and optional driver support functions are availa-
ble in your vehicle to help make driving safer and are designed to help
avoid accidents or mitigate their effects. These functions are activated
in the center display's Function view.
City Safety™
City Safety™ is a support system designed to help alert the driver to
pedestrians, cyclists, large animals and vehicles that may appear sud-
denly in front of your vehicle by providing visual, audible and haptic
alerts. City Safety™ activates automatically each time the engine is
started.
Cross Traffic Alert (CTA)

CTA alerts the driver to crossing traffic behind your vehicle
when backing up or if reverse gear is selected.
Blind Spot Information (BLIS)

BLIS informs the driver of vehicles in the door mirrors’ blind
angles or of rapidly approaching vehicles in the driving lanes
adjacent to your vehicle.
Lane Keeping Aid (LKA)
*
If your vehicle is about to inadvertently cross a driving lane’s
side marker lines, LKA is designed to actively guide the vehicle
back into the lane. You will also be alerted by an audible signal
or vibrations in the steering wheel.

off Mitigation function

can also provide additional support if the vehicle
is about to go off the road. If this system is triggered, brake and steer-
ing support can be provided automatically.
Pilot Assist

Pilot Assist is a feature that helps keep the vehicle in its current traffic
lane and maintain a set time interval to the vehicle ahead.
Pilot Assist is activated/deactivated using the buttons on the left-side
steering wheel keypad. In order to provide steering assistance, the driv-
er's hands must be on the steering wheel and the traffic lane's side
marker lines must be clearly visible.
When steering assistance is being actively provided, the steering wheel
symbol in the instrument panel will be GREEN.
