DRIVER SUPPORT
Your car is equipped with a number of functions that help you to
drive safely and which can prevent accidents. You can activate
these functions in the centre display's function view. Remember
that the driver support functions are only aids and that as the driver
you always have full responsibility for driving the car in a safe man-
ner. A selection is listed below:
City Safety™
City Safety
11
can assist you in critical situations to prevent or miti-
gate a collision with vehicles, larger animals, pedestrians or
cyclists. Visual, acoustic and brake pulse warnings are given in the
event of a risk of collision to help you act in time. If you fail to act in
time and a collision is almost unavoidable, the car can be braked
automatically. City Safety is activated when the engine is started
and cannot be deactivated.
Blind Spot Information (BLIS)*
BLIS can inform you about vehicles in your blind spot and
quickly approaching vehicles in an adjacent lane.
Cross Traffic Alert (CTA)*
CTA with auto-brake is a driver support system to supple-
ment BLIS and can warn of traffic crossing behind the car.
If the warning from CTA is not observed, and a collision is
unavoidable, the function can stop the car. CTA is acti-
vated if reverse gear is engaged or if the car rolls back-
wards.
Lane Keeping Aid
Lane assistance (Lane Keeping Aid) can help you to reduce
the risk of the car leaving its lane unintentionally. The
desired form of assistance is selected via Settings My
Car IntelliSafe Lane Keeping Aid Mode in the cen-
tre display's top view.
Steering assistance at risk of collision
The Collision avoidance assistance function can help you
to reduce the risk of the car leaving its lane unintentionally
and/or colliding with another vehicle/obstacle by actively
steering the car back into its lane and/or swerving. The
function consists of three subfunctions: Steering assis-
tance at risk of run-off; Steering assistance at risk of head-
on collision; and Steering assistance at risk of rear-end col-
lision*.
Pilot Assist
Pilot Assist
12
is a comfort function that can help to keep the car in
its lane and at a preset distance to the vehicle ahead. Pilot Assist is
selected and activated using the steering wheel's left-hand keypad.
For steering assistance to work, the driver has to have both hands
on the steering wheel and the lane markings have to be visible,
for instance. When steering assistance is active, the driver display
shows a GREEN steering wheel symbol.
