SYSTEM (BLIS)*
If the BLIS indicator lights illuminate occasion-
ally even when there are no other vehicles in
the blind area, this may be caused by light re-
flected from a wet road surface, the vehicle’s
own shadow against a large, light, smooth
surface, or sunlight directly in the camera
when the sun is low on the horizon.
In the event of a fault, BLIND SPOT SYST.

Hand washing is gentler on the paint than an
automatic car wash. Since the paint on a new
vehicle may take several months to harden
completely, we recommend washing the
vehicle by hand during this period. Use clean
water, a suitable car washing detergent and
a sponge. Keep in mind that dirt or grit on the
sponge can scratch the paint.
CAR CARE EMERGENCY BRAKE ASSIST (EBA)
EBA is designed to provide full brake effect
immediately in the event of sudden, hard
braking. When EBA is activated, the brake
pedal will go down more than usual.
– Press and hold the brake pedal for as long
as necessary – there will be no braking ef-
fect if the pedal is released.
