DRIVER SUPPORT
Distance Alert*11
vehicles ahead moving in the same direction
as your vehicle. No distance information is
provided for oncoming, slow-moving or sta-
tionary vehicles.
Stability system
The Roll Stability Control (RSC10) system
helps reduce the risk of a rollover in the event
of e.g. a sudden evasive maneuver or if the
vehicle begins to skid.
The Distance Alert function can help the
driver become aware if the time interval to
the vehicle in front is too short. The vehicle
must be equipped with a head-up display* in
order to display Distance Alert.
The system monitors the lateral angle at which
the vehicle is leaning and registers any
changes. Using this information, the system
calculates the likelihood of a rollover. If there is
an imminent risk of a rollover, Electronic Sta-
bility Control is activated, engine torque is
reduced and brakes are applied to one or more
of the wheels until the vehicle has regained
stability.
Visual warnings on the windshield may be
difficult to notice in cases of strong sun-
light, reflections, extreme light contrasts,
or if the driver is wearing sunglasses or is
not looking straight ahead.
Distance Alert is deactivated while Adap-
tive Cruise Control* or Pilot Assist* is
active.
WARNING
The vehicle’s stability systems help
improve vehicle safety but do not replace
the driver’s responsibility for operating the
vehicle in a safe manner. Speed and driving
style should always be adapted to the cur-
rent road, traffic and weather conditions.
Posted speed limits should always be
respected.
