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.

departure warning on the corresponding
side will light up permanently.
The brightness of the door opening warning
indication cannot be adjusted.
When you want to access the vehicle for the
first time, with the doors closed and locked,
the function will be available 3 minutes after
the first opening of any of the doors. The
function will continue to be available as long
as the vehicle has the ignition connected
and is not moving.
After switching off the ignition, the function
will remain available for approximately 3 mi-
nutes. After that time, the control lamps will
light up indicating the deactivation of the
function.
