Adaptive cruise control
The adaptive cruise control is an
enhancement to the conventional
cruise control with the additional
feature of maintaining a certain
following distance to the vehicle
ahead. It uses radar and camera
sensors to detect the vehicles ahead. If no vehicle is detected in the driving
path, the adaptive cruise control will
behave like a conventional cruise
control.
The adaptive cruise control
automatically decelerates the vehicle
when approaching a slower moving
vehicle. It then adjusts the vehicle
speed to follow the vehicle ahead at
the selected following distance. The
Page 165 of 277
Driving and operating163vehicle speed increases or decreases
to follow the vehicle ahead, but will
not exceed the set speed. It may
apply limited braking with activated
brake lights.
If the vehicle ahead accelerates or
changes lane, the adaptive cruise
control progressively accelerates the
vehicle to return to the stored set
speed. If the driver operates a the turn lights to overtake a slower vehicle, the
adaptive cruise control allows the
vehicle to temporarily approach the
vehicle ahead to help passing it.
However, the set speed will never be
exceeded.
The adaptive cruise control can store set speeds over 30 km/h for manual
transmission. If the vehicle ahead is
moving too slowly and the selected
following distance cannot be
maintained anymore, a warning
chime is given and a message is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre. The message prompts the
driver to take back control of the
vehicle. On vehicles with automatic
transmission, the system can brake
the vehicle until a full stop.9 Warning
The complete driver attention is
always required while driving with adaptive cruise control. The driver stays fully in control of the vehicle
because the brake pedal, the
accelerator pedal and the button
Ñ have priority over any adaptive
cruise control operation.
Switching on the system
Press C, the symbol C is indicated in
the Driver Information Centre. The system is still not active.
Activation of the functionality
Setting speed by the driver
The adaptive cruise control has to be switched on manually at a speed
between 30 km/h and 180 km/h. For
vehicles with automatic transmission, the automatic selector lever must be
in position D or M.
Accelerate to the desired speed and
move the thumb wheel to SET/-. The
current speed is stored and
maintained.
Page 166 of 277
164Driving and operating
The speed value is indicated in the
Driver Information Centre.
The preset speed can then be
changed by moving thumb wheel to
RES/+ to increase or SET/- to
decrease the speed. Move thumb
wheel repeatedly to change speed in
small steps, move and hold to change speed in large steps.
When the adaptive cruise control is
operating, the stop-start system is
automatically deactivated.
Adopting speed by the speed limit
recognition
The intelligent speed adaptation
informs the driver when a speed limit
is detected by the speed limit
recognition. The detected speed limit
can be taken over as new set speed
for the adaptive cruise control.
Using the camera at the top of the windscreen, this system detects and
reads speed limit and end of speed
limit signs.
If the adaptive cruise control is active, the recognised speed limit will be
displayed in the Driver Information Centre and MEM illuminates.
Press MEM on the steering wheel to
request saving of the suggested
speed.
Press MEM on the steering wheel
once more to confirm and save the
new speed setting.
This speed limit is now the new set
speed of the adaptive cruise control.
The function can be activated or
deactivated in the personalisation
menu 3 105.Overriding set speed
It is always possible to drive faster
than the selected set speed by
depressing the accelerator pedal.
When the accelerator pedal is
released, the vehicle returns to the
stored speed. If a slower moving
vehicle is ahead, the following
distance selected by the driver is
restored.
If the set speed is exceeded, the
indicated speed setting flashes in the Driver Information Centre and a
warning message appears.9 Warning
Accelerating by the driver
deactivates automatic braking by
the system. This is indicated as a
pop-up warning in the Driver
Information Centre.
Resuming stored speed
Move the thumb wheel to RES/+ at a
speed above 30 km/h. The adaptive
cruise control is activated with the
stored set speed.
Page 167 of 277
Driving and operating165Adaptive cruise control onvehicles with automatic
transmission
For vehicles with automatic
transmission, adaptive cruise control allows to maintain the selected
distance behind a stopping vehicle
until a complete stop is reached.
If the system has stopped your
vehicle behind another vehicle, then
the set speed is replaced by a green
control indicator .. This symbol
notifies, that the vehicle is hold
automatically in stop position.
If the stopped vehicle ahead was
stopped for a longer time and then
begins to move forward, the green
illuminated vehicle ahead control
indicator . will flash and a warning
chime will sound as a reminder to check traffic before resuming.
When the vehicle ahead drives away,
press the accelerator pedal until
30 km/h and then move the thumb
wheel to SET- or RES+ to resume
adaptive cruise control. If the vehicle
stays stopped for more than
5 minutes or if the driver's door isopened and the driver's seat belt is
unfastened, then the electric parking
brake is applied automatically to hold
the vehicle. Control indicator m will
illuminate. To release electric parking brake, press the accelerator pedal.
Electric parking brake 3 151.9 Warning
When the system is deactivated or
cancelled, the vehicle will no
longer be held at a stop and can
start moving. Be always prepared
to manually apply the brake to hold the vehicle stationary.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is
being held at a stop by adaptive
cruise control. Always move
selector lever to park position P
and switch off the ignition before
leaving the vehicle.
Setting the following distance
When adaptive cruise control detects
a slower moving vehicle in the driving path, it will adjust the vehicle speed tomaintain the following distance
selected by the driver.
The following distance can be set to
close (1 bar), normal (2 bars) or far (3 bars).
If the engine is running and the
adaptive cruise control is enabled
(grey), you can modify the following
distance setting:
Press Ö, the current setting is shown
in the Driver Information Centre.
Press Ö again to change the following
distance: The new setting is

Deactivation of the functionality
Press Ñ, the adaptive cruise control
is in pause mode and a message is
displayed. The vehicle is driven
without adaptive cruise control.
The adaptive cruise control is
deactivated, but not disabled. The
last stored set speed remains in
memory for later usage.
The adaptive cruise control is
deactivated automatically when:
● The brake pedal is depressed.
● The vehicle accelerates above 180 km/h or slows down below
30 km/h.
● The electric parking brake is applied.
● The Traction Control system or Electronic Stability Control is
deactivated or operating.
● The selector lever of automatic transmissions is neither in D nor
in M.
● A fault is detected in the Electronic Stability Control or the
radar system.
Switching off the system
Press C, the adaptive cruise control
mode is disabled and the adaptive
cruise control indication extinguishes
in the Driver Information Centre.
Pressing ß to activate the speed
limiter deactivates adaptive cruise
control.Switching off the ignition deletes the
stored set speed.
Driver's attention ● Use the adaptive cruise control carefully on bends or mountain
roads, as it can lose the vehicle
ahead and needs time to detect it again.
● Do not use the system on slippery roads as it can create
rapid changes in tyre traction
(wheel spinning), so that you
could lose control of the vehicle.
● Do not use the adaptive cruise control during rain, snow or
heavy dirt, as the radar sensor
can be covered by a water film,
dust, ice or snow. This reduces or
suppresses completely the
visibility. In case of sensor
blockage, clean the sensor
cover.
● Do not use the system when the spare wheel is in use.

Driving and operating169The front bumper may appear to
be intact, however the sensor
behind may be affected and react
incorrectly. After an accident,
consult a workshop to verify and
adjust the radar unit position.
Fault
In the event of a fault with the adaptive cruise control, you are alerted by the
illumination of a warning light and the
display of a message in the
instrument panel, accompanied by an
audible signal.
The adaptive cruise control may not
operate correctly if traffic signs do not comply with the Vienna Convention
on Road Signs and Signals.
Have the system checked by a dealer
or a qualified workshop.
As a safety measure, do not use the
system if the brake lights are faulty.
Do not use the system if the front
bumper is damaged.
Forward collision alert
The forward collision alert may help toavoid or reduce the harm caused by
front-end crashes.
The forward collision alert uses the
front camera in the windscreen and a
radar unit located behind the front
bumper of the vehicle to detect a
vehicle directly ahead, in your path.
If a vehicle directly ahead is
approached too quickly, a warning
chime and alert in the Driver
Information Centre is provided.9 Warning
Forward collision alert is just a
warning system and does not
apply the brakes. When
approaching a vehicle ahead too
rapidly, it may not provide you
enough time to avoid a collision.
The driver accepts full
responsibility for the appropriate
following distance based on traffic, weather and visibility conditions.
The complete attention of the
driver is always required while
driving. The driver must always be
ready to take action and apply the
brakes.
Activation
Forward collision alert detects
vehicles and operates automatically
at all speeds between 5 km/h and 140 km/h.
Alerting the driver
The driver is warned by following
alerts:
● Symbol , illuminates and a
warning message is displayed in
the Driver Information Center,
when the distance to the vehicle
ahead gets to small.
● Symbol , illuminates, a warning
message is displayed in the
Driver Information Center and a
warning chime sounds, when a
collision is imminent and
immediate driver's action is
required.

The chosen setting will remain until it
is changed. The alert timing will vary
based on vehicle speed. The faster
the vehicle speed, the farther away
the alert will occur. Consider traffic
and weather conditions when
selecting the alert timing.
Deactivation The system can only be deactivated
by deactivating the active emergency braking in the vehicle personalisation
3 105.
System limitations
Forward collision alert is designed to
warn on vehicles only, but may react also to other objects.
In the following cases, forward
collision alert may not detect a vehicle ahead or sensor performance is
limited:
● driving on winding or hilly roads
● driving during nighttime
● weather limits visibility, such as fog, rain, or snow
● the sensor in the windscreen or the radar unit behind the front
bumper are blocked by snow, ice, slush, mud, dirt etc.
● the windscreen is damaged or affected by foreign objects, e.g.
stickers
Active emergency braking
Active emergency braking can help to reduce the damage and injury from
crashes with vehicles, pedestrians and obstacles directly ahead, when a
collision can no longer be avoided
Page 173 of 277
Driving and operating171either by manual braking or by
steering. Before the active
emergency braking applies, the driver
is warned by the forward collision
alert or the front pedestrian protection
alert.
Forward collision alert 3 169
Front pedestrian protection 3 174
Active emergency braking can be
deactivated in the personalisation
menu 3 105. If deactivated, m
illuminates in the instrument cluster and a warning message is displayed
in the Driver Information Centre.
The feature uses various inputs (e.g.
camera sensor, radar sensor, brake
pressure, vehicle speed) to calculate the probability of a frontal collision.9 Warning
This system is not intended to
replace the driver responsibility for driving the vehicle and looking
ahead. Its function is limited to
supplemental use only to reduce
the vehicle speed before a
collision.
The system may not react to
animals. After a sudden lane
change, the system needs a
certain time to detect the next
preceding vehicle.
The driver must always be ready
to take action and apply the brakes and steer to avoid collisions.
Functionality
If equipped only with front camera the
active emergency braking operates in
forward gear above walking speed up
to 85 km/h. With radar sensor and
front camera active emergency
braking operates in forward gear in
the range between walking speed
and 140 km/h.
A precondition is that forward collision
alert with front camera system is not
deactivated in the vehicle
personalisation menu and the seat
belts of the front passengers are
fastened 3 105.
The system includes: ● brake preparation system
● emergency automatic braking
● forward looking brake assist
● intelligent brake assist (only with radar sensor)
● forward collision alert
● front pedestrian protection
Brake preparation system
When approaching a vehicle ahead
or a pedestrian so quickly that a
collision is likely, the brake
preparation system slightly
pressurises the brakes. This reduces
the response time, when a manual or automatic braking is requested.
Emergency automatic braking After activation of brake preparation
system and just before the imminent
collision, this function automatically
applies limited braking to reduce the
impact speed of the collision or
prohibit a crash. If active emergency
braking is applied, m flashes in the
instrument cluster. Depending on the
situation, the vehicle may
automatically brake moderately or
hard. Front automatic braking can
only occur if a vehicle ahead is
Page 175 of 277
Driving and operating1739Warning
Intelligent brake assist may
increase vehicle braking in
situations when it may not be
necessary. You could block the
flow of traffic. If this occurs, take
your foot off the brake pedal and
then apply the brakes as needed.
Forward collision alert 3 169.
Front pedestrian protection 3 174.
System limitations In some cases, the active emergencybraking system may provide an
automatic braking in situations that
seem to be unnecessary, for instance
in parking garages, due to traffic signs in a curve or due to vehicles in
another lane. This is normal
operation, the vehicle does not need service. Firmly apply the accelerator
pedal to override the automatic
braking if the situation and the
surroundings permit.
In the following cases, active
emergency braking performance is limited:
● driving on winding or hilly roads
● detecting all vehicles, especially vehicles with a trailer, tractors,
muddy vehicles, etc.
● detecting a vehicle when weather
limits visibility, such as in fog,
rain, or snow
● driving during nighttime
● sensor in the windscreen or radar
unit behind the front bumper
blocked by snow, ice, slush, mud, dirt, etc.
● windscreen damaged or affected
by foreign objects, e.g. stickers
Complete attention is always required
while driving, and you should be
ready to take action and apply the
brakes and / or steer the vehicle to
avoid crashes.We recommend to deactivate the
system in the vehicle personalisation
in the following cases:
● when towing a trailer or caravan
● when carrying long objects on roof bars or a roof rack
● when the vehicle is being towed with the engine running
● when a spare wheel is fitted that is smaller than the other wheels
● before using an automatic car wash with the engine running
● before placing the vehicle on a rolling road in a workshop
● if the windscreen has been damaged close to the camera
● if the front bumper has been damaged
● if the brake lamps are not working
Fault
In case the system requires a service, a message is displayed in the Driver
Information Centre.

should do, vehicle messages are
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre.
Vehicle messages 3 104.
Front pedestrian protection Front pedestrian protection may help
to avoid or reduce the harm caused
by front-end crashes with pedestrians when driving forward.
The system uses the front camera in
the windscreen and a radar unit in the front bumper to detect a pedestrian
directly ahead in your path.
Front pedestrian protection can
detect and alert to pedestrians in a forward gear at speeds between
5 km/h and 60 km/h. Additionally front
pedestrian protection can provide a
boost to braking or automatically
brake the vehicle.
During nighttime driving, system
performance is limited.9 Danger
Front pedestrian braking does not
provide an alert or automatically
brake the vehicle, unless it detects
a pedestrian.
The system may not detect
pedestrians, including children,
when the pedestrian is not directly ahead, not fully visible, not
standing upright, or when part of a
group.
Front pedestrian protection includes:
● detecting front pedestrian ahead● front pedestrian alert
Front pedestrian protection is
activated together with forward
collision alert.
Forward collision alert 3 169.
Detecting front pedestrian ahead
A pedestrian ahead up to a distance
of approx. 40 m is indicated by a
symbol in the instrument cluster.
Front pedestrian alert
When approaching a detected
pedestrian too quickly, a warning
message is displayed in the Driver
Information Centre. A warning chime
is provided.
Cruise control or adaptive cruise control may be disengaged when the
front pedestrian alert occurs.
System limitations
In the following cases, front
pedestrian protection may not detect
a pedestrian ahead or sensor
performance is limited:
● vehicle speed is out of range from
5 km/h to 60 km/h in forward gear
● the distance to an pedestrian ahead is more than 40 m
● driving on winding or hilly roads
● driving during nighttime
● weather limits visibility, such as fog, rain, or snow
