Concept
Using this system, a desired speed and a disj
tance to a vehicle ahead can be adjusted using
the buttons on the steering wheel.
The system maintains the desired speed on clear roads. For this purpose, the vehicle acj
celerates or brakes automatically.
If a vehicle is driving ahead of you, the system
adjusts the speed of your vehicle so that the
set distance to the vehicle ahead is mainj
tained. The speed is adjusted as far as the
given situation allows.
The distance can be adjusted in several steps.
For safety reasons, it depends on the respecj tive speed.
If the vehicle ahead of you brakes to a halt, and
then proceeds to drive again within a brief pej
riod, the system is able to detect this within the given system limits.
General
information Depending on the driving settings, the featuresof the cruise control can change in certain
areas.Safety
information
WARNING
The system does not relieve from perj
sonal responsibility to assess the traffic situaj tion. Based on the limits of the system, it canjnot independently react to all traffic situations.
There is a risk of an accident. Adjust driving style to traffic conditions. Watch traffic closelyand actively intervene where appropriate.'

There is a risk of injuries or danger to life.Watch traffic closely and actively intervenewhere appropriate.'

Press button on the steering wheel.'yIf active: press twice.'yIf interrupted: press once.

Interrupting
manually Press button on the steering wheel.
If interrupting the system while stationary,
press on the brake pedal at the same time.
Interrupting
automatically
The system is automatically interrupted in the following situations:
'yWhen the driver applies the brakes.'yWhen selector lever position D is disenj
gaged.'yDynamic Traction Control DTC is activated
or DSC Dynamic Stability Control is deactij vated.'yIf DSC Dynamic Stability Control interj
venes.'yWhen SPORT+ is activated with Driving
Dynamics Control.'yIf the safety belt is unbuckled and the drivj
er's door is opened while the vehicle is standing still.'yIf the system has not detected objects for
an extended period, for instance on a road
with very little traffic without curb or
shoulder markings.'yIf the detection range of the radar is imj paired, for instance by dirt or heavy fog.'yAfter a stationary period of approx. 3 secj
onds when the vehicle has been braked to
a stop by the system.Setting
the
speed
Maintaining/storing
the
speed
Press the rocker switch while the system is inj terrupted.
When the system is switched on, the current
speed is maintained and stored as the desired
speed.
The stored speed is displayed in the speedomj
eter and briefly in the instrument cluster, refer
to page 155.
DSC Dynamic Stability Control is switched on,
if necessary.
The speed can also be stored bypressing a button.

Safety
information WARNING
The system does not relieve from perj

to the traffic and weather conditions and mainj
tain the prescribed safety distance, possibly by braking.'

Deceleration
The system also does not decelerate in the folj lowing situations:'yFor pedestrians or similarly slow-moving
road users.'yFor red traffic lights.'yFor cross traffic.'yFor oncoming traffic.
Swerving
vehicles
A vehicle driving in front of you is not detected until it is completely within the same lane as
your vehicle.
If a vehicle driving ahead of you suddenly
swerves into your lane, the system may not be able to automatically restore the selected disj
tance. It may not be possible to restore the sej
lected distance in certain situations, including if you are driving significantly faster than vehijcles driving ahead of you, for instance when
rapidly approaching a truck. When a vehicle
driving ahead of you is reliably detected, the
system requests that the driver intervene by
braking and carrying out evasive maneuvers, if
needed.
Cornering
If the desired speed is too high for a curve, the
speed is reduced slightly, although curves canj not be anticipated in advance. Therefore, drive
into a curve at an appropriate speed.
The system has a limited detection range. Sitj uations can arise in tight curves where a vehij
cle driving ahead will not be detected or will be
detected very late.
When you approach a curve the system may briefly report vehicles in the next lane due to
the bend of the curve. If the system decelerj
ates you may compensate it by briefly accelerj
ating.
After releasing the accelerator pedal the sysj tem is reactivated and controls speed indej
pendently.
Driving
away In some situations, the vehicle cannot drive off
automatically; for example:
'yOn steep inclines.'yFrom bumps in the road.
In these cases, step on the accelerator pedal.

Weather
The following restrictions can occur under unj
favorable weather or light conditions:'yPoorer vehicle recognition.'yShort-term interruptions for vehicles that
are already recognized.
Examples of unfavorable weather or light conj
ditions:
'yWet conditions.'ySnowfall.'ySlush.'yFog.'yGlare.
Drive attentively, and react to the current traffic situation. If necessary, intervene actively, for
instance by braking, steering or evading.
Engine
power The desired speed is also maintained downhill,but may not be maintained on uphill grades if
engine power is insufficient.
Malfunction
The system cannot be activated if the radar
sensor is not aligned correctly. This may be
caused by damage incurred, for instance durj
ing parking.
A Check Control message is displayed if the system fails.
The function for detecting and responding when approaching stationary vehicles may be limited in the following situations:
'yDuring calibration of the camera immedijately after vehicle delivery.'yIf the camera is malfunctioning or dirty. ACheck Control message is displayed.Cruise
