Driver assistance systems
WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into
the rear cross traffic alert cannot overcome
the limits imposed by the laws of physics; it
only works within the limits of the system.
The parking assistant function should not
tempt you into taking any risks. The system
is not a replacement for driver awareness.
●
The system should never be used in limi-
ted visibility conditions or complicated
traffic, e.g., in high-traffic areas or when
crossing multiple lanes.
●
Be sure to always be aware of the vehi-
cle's surroundings, since the system often
fails to detect things such as bicycles or pe-
destrians.
●
The rear cross traffic alert itself will not
brake the vehicle to a complete stop.
Managing the assist systems
Enabling and disabling the assist systems
The blind spot detector with parking assis-
tant can be switched on and off by accessing
the Assistance systems menu on the dash
panel display using the steering wheel con-
trols. If the vehicle is equipped with a multi-
function camera, it can also be accessed by
means of the driver assistance systems key
located on the main beam headlight lever.
Open the
Assistants menu.

Rear cross traffic alert
If the verification box on the instrument pan-
el or the infotainment system is checked
,
the functionality will be automatically activa-
ted when switching on the ignition.
When the blind spot detector is ready to op-
erate, the indications in the external mirrors
will turn on briefly as confirmation.
When the vehicle is restarted, the last ad-
justment in the system will remain active.
Trailer mode
The Blind spot detector and the rear cross
traffic alert will be automatically deactivated
and it will be impossible to activate them if
the tow hitch is electrically connected to a
trailer or other similar object.
As soon as the driver starts to drive with a
trailer connected electrically to the vehicle, a
message will appear on the instrument panel
display indicating that the blind spot detec-
tor and the rear cross traffic alert are deacti-
vated. Once the trailer has been unhitched
from the vehicle, if you want to use the blind
spot detector and the rear cross traffic alert,
you will have to reactivate them in the corre-
sponding menu.
If the towing hitch is not factory equipped,
then the blind spot detector and the rear
cross traffic alert will have to be deactivated
manually when driving with a trailer.
