features
andoptions
This chapter describes all standard, country-spejcific and optional features offered with the series. It also describes features that are not necessarilyavailable in your vehicle, e. g., due to the selectedoptions or country versions. This also applies to
safety-related functions and systems. When usj
ing these functions and systems, the applicable laws and regulations must be observed.
Cruise
control
Concept
Using this system, a desired speed can be adj
justed using the buttons on the steering wheel. The system maintains the desired speed. The
system accelerates and brakes automatically as
needed.
General
informationDepending on the driving settings, the features
of the cruise control can change in certain areas.
Safety
information
WARNING
The system cannot serve as a substitute for the
driverss personal judgment in assessing the
traffic situation. Based on the limits of the sysj
tem, it cannot independently react to all traffic
situations. There is a risk of an accident. Adjust
driving style to traffic conditions. Watch traffic
closely and actively intervene where approprij
ate.
WARNING
The use of the system can lead to an increased risk of accidents in the following situations, for instance:
'xOn winding roads.'xIn heavy traffic.'xOn slippery roads, in fog, snow, or wet
conditions, or on a loose road surface.
There is a risk of accidents or risk of damage to
property. Only use the system if driving at conj stant speed is possible.
WARNING
The desired speed can be incorrectly adjusted
or called up by mistake. There is a risk of an acj
cident. Adjust the desired speed to the traffic conditions. Watch traffic closely and actively inj
tervene where appropriate.

Maintaining/storing
the
speed
Press the rocker switch up or down once whilethe system is interrupted.
When the system is switched on, the current
speed is maintained and stored as the desired
speed.
The stored speed is displayed in the speedomej ter and in the instrument cluster, refer to
page 163.
DSC Dynamic Stability Control is switched on, if necessary.
The speed can also be stored by pressing a butj
ton.
Press button.
Changing
the
speed
Press the rocker switch up or down repeatedly until the desired speed is set.

After the rocker switch is released, the vehij cle maintains its final speed. Pressing the
switch beyond the resistance point causes
the vehicle to accelerate more rapidly.
Continuing
cruise
control
General
information An interrupted cruise control can be continued
by calling up the stored speed.
Make sure that the difference between current
speed and stored speed is not too large before
calling up the stored speed. Otherwise, unintenj tional braking or accelerating may occur.
In the following cases, the stored speed value is
deleted and cannot be called up again:
'xWhen the system is switched off.'xWhen the ignition is switched off.

General
informationThe ultrasound sensors for measuring the disj
tances are located in the rear bumper.
The maneuvering range, depending on the obj
stacle and environmental conditions, is approx.
6 ft/2 m.
An acoustic warning is first given in the following
situations:'xBy the two rear corner sensors at apj
prox. 24 in/60 cm from the object.'xBy the rear middle sensors at apj
prox. 5 ft/1.50 m from the object.'xWhen a collision is imminent.
Safety
information
WARNING
The system cannot serve as a substitute for the
driverss personal judgment in assessing the
traffic situation. Based on the limits of the sysj tem, it cannot independently react to all traffic
situations. There is a risk of an accident. Adjust
driving style to traffic conditions. Watch traffic
closely and actively intervene where approprij
ate.
WARNING
Due to high speeds when PDC Park Distance
Control is activated, the warning can be dej
layed due to physical circumstances. There is a risk of injury or risk of damage to property.
Avoid approaching an object too fast. Avoid
driving off fast while PDC Park Distance Control
is not yet active.
Overview
Ultrasound
sensors Ultrasound sensors of the PDC,for instance in the bumpers.
Functional
requirements Ensure full functionality:'xDo not cover sensors, for instance with stickj
ers, bicycle racks.'xKeep the sensors clean and unobstructed.

Automatic
deactivation

distance or speed is exceeded.
Switch the system back on, if needed.
WARNING
Signal
tones An intermittent tone indicates when the vehicle
is approaching an object. E.g., if an object is dej tected to the left rear of the vehicle, a signal tone
sounds from the left rear speaker.
The shorter the distance to the object, the
shorter the intervals.
If the distance to a detected object is less than
approx. 10 inches/25 cm, a continuous tone is
sounded.

Visual
warning
The approach of the vehicle to an object is shown on the Control Display. Objects that are

Safety
information
WARNING
The system can react not at all, too late, incorj
rectly, or without justification due to the system
limits. There is a risk of accidents or risk of damage to property. Follow the information rej
garding the system limits and actively intervene
if needed.
Limits
of
ultrasonic
measurement
Ultrasonic measurements might not function in
the following situations:
'xFor small children and animals.'xFor persons with certain clothing, for instance coats.'xWith external interference of the ultrasound,
for instance from passing vehicles or loud
machines.'xWhen sensors are dirty, iced over, damaged
or out of position.'xUnder certain weather conditions such as
high relative humidity, wet conditions, snowj
fall, extreme heat, or strong wind.'xWith tow bars and trailer couplings of other
vehicles.'xWith thin or wedge-shaped objects.'xWith moving objects.'xWith elevated, protruding objects such as ledges or cargo.'xWith objects with corners and sharp edges.'xWith objects with a fine surface structure
such as fences.'xFor objects with porous surfaces.'xIf cargo protrudes.'xLow objects already displayed, for instance

False
warnings
The system may issue a warning under the folj
lowing conditions even though there is no obstaj
cle within the detection range:
'xIn heavy rain.'xWhen sensors are very dirty or covered with
ice.'xWhen sensors are covered in snow.'xOn rough road surfaces.'xOn uneven surfaces, such as speed bumps.'xIn large buildings with right angles and smooth walls, for instance in underground gaj
rages.'xIn automatic vehicle washes.'xDue to heavy exhaust.'xDue to other ultrasound sources, for instance sweeping machines, high pressure steam
cleaners or neon lights.
As soon as the malfunction due to other ultraj
sound sources is no longer present, the system is again fully functional.
Malfunction
A Check Control message is displayed.
The range of the sensors is shown as a shaded
area on the Control Display.
PDC has failed. Have the system checked by a
dealerss service center or another qualified servj ice center or repair shop.
Rearview
camera
Concept
The rearview camera provides assistance in parking and maneuvering backwards. The area
behind the vehicle is shown on the Control Disj play.
Safety
information
WARNING
The system cannot serve as a substitute for the
driverss personal judgment in assessing the
traffic situation. There is a risk of an accident.
Adjust driving style to traffic conditions. Watch
traffic and vehicle surroundings closely and acj tively intervene where appropriate.

Pathway
lines
Pathway lines can be superimposed on the imj
age of the rearview camera.
Pathway lines help you to estimate the space rej
quired when parking and maneuvering on level
roads.
Pathway lines depend on the current steering angle and are continuously adjusted to the steerjing wheel movements.
Turning
radius
lines
Turning radius lines can only be superimposed on the rearview camera image together with
pathway lines.
Turning radius lines show the course of the smallest possible turning radius on a level road.
Only one turning radius line is displayed after the
steering wheel is turned past a certain angle.
Obstacle
marking
Depending on the vehicle equipment, obstacle
markings can be faded into the image of the
rearview camera.
The colored thresholds of the obstacle markings
match the markings of the PDC Park Distance
Control.

The air quality inside the vehicle is improved by
an emissions-tested interior, a microfilter, and a
climate-control system for regulating temperaj
ture, air flow, and recirculated-air mode.
In addition there are other functions which dej
