1 Blind Spot Information
* Option/accessory.
BLIS1 functionality may be reduced in certain situations.
Keep the marked area clean (on both the left and right sides
of the vehicle)2.
Examples of limitations:
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors may reduce functionality and prevent
the system from providing warnings...
The Driver Alert Control (DAC) function is designed to help alert the driver
to erratic behavior, e.g. if the driver is distracted or showing signs of fatigue...
Other information:
All-wheel drive (AWD1), also called fourwheel drive, means that power
is distributed to all four wheels, which improves traction.
To achieve the best traction, power is automatically directed to the wheels that
have the best grip. The system continuously calculates the need for torque to the
rear wheels, and can immediately redistribute up to half of the engine's torque
to the rear wheels...
(Option/accessory.)
(Warning of collision from the rear.)
In some situations, it may be difficult for Rear Collision Warning (RCW) to
warn the driver of a collision risk.
This may be the case if:
the vehicle approaching from the rear is detected at a late stage
the vehicle approaching from the rear changes lanes at a late stage
a trailer, bicycle holder or similar is connected to the vehicle'..
