Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC)
Introduction to the topic
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) main-
tains a constant speed that you ha
ve set.
If the vehicle approaches a vehicle in
front, the ACC automatically adapts the
speed so that a distance you have selec-
ted is maintained.
Does the vehicle have ACC?
The vehicle is equipped with ACC if you can
adjust settings for ACC in the Assist systems
menu in the Infotainment system.
Speed range
You can set the speed between 20 km/h
(15 mph) and the maximum speed.
Driving with ACC
You can override the active ACC system at
any time. Cruise control will be stopped if you
brake. If you accelerate, cruise control will be
interrupted while you are accelerating and
then resumed.
The intervention by the ACC system is less
dynamic when towing a trailer.
Driver intervention prompt
If automatic deceleration by the ACC
system is not sufficient or the system
limits have been reached, the ACC
system will request you to also brake
by a corresponding message on the
instrument cluster. In addition, the
red warning lamp lights up and an
acoustic warning is given. Take over
control of the vehicle and be prepared
to brake.
Radar sensor
ACC detects driving situations using a radar
sensor at the front of the vehicle. The range of the radar sensor is up to approximately
160 m (

around 520 ft). Special driving situations
Please refer to at the start of the chap-
ter on page 151.
Predictiv

e cruise control system
If the vehicle is equipped with the Dynamic
Road Sign Display function and an Infotain-
ment system with navigation, ACC can pre-
dictively adapt the vehicle speed to detected
speed limits and the course of the road ahead

Advance warning
The system detects a possible colli-
sion and prepares the vehicle for pos-
sible emergency braking.
An acoustic warning sounds and the red
warning lamp lights up. Brake or take avoid-
ing action.
Urgent warning
If the driver does not react to the advance
warning, the system may initiate a short
braking jolt in order to draw attention to the
increasing collision risk. Brake or take avoid-
ing action.
Automatic braking
If the driver also does not react to the urgent
warning, the vehicle can be braked automati- cally with braking force that increases in sev-
eral stages. The reduced speed means that it
is possible to minimise the consequences of
an accident.
Braking interv
ention
If the system detects that the driver is brak-
ing insufficiently when there is a risk of colli-
sion, the system can increase the braking
force and help prevent a collision. The brak-
ing intervention takes place only for as long
as the brake pedal is pressed hard.
Distance warning
The system detects when safety
is endangered by driving too
close to the vehicle in front. The indi-
cator lamp lights up. Increase the dis-
tance.
Speed range: around 65 km/h (around
40 mph) to around 250 km/h (around
155 mph). Area monitoring system 161

Limits of Front Assist
Please refer to at the start of the chap-
ter on page 159.
F
ront Assist is not available or its
functions are restricted immediately
after the vehicle is started. The indi-
cator lamp lights up in the instrument
cluster display during this time.
Front Assist has physical and system-related
limitations. You should therefore always be
prepared to take full control of the vehicle if
necessary.
Delayed response
If the camera or radar sensor is exposed to
environmental conditions that impair func-
tioning, the system may detect this only after
a certain delay. For this reason, any restric-
tions to functions may be displayed only after
a delay at the start of the journey and when
driving

Troubleshooting
Please refer to at the start of the chap-
ter on page 159. Front Assist is starting up.

wise cause accidents or injuries. The sys-

or the full concen-
tration of the driver.
x Adapt your speed and distance from the
vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather,
road and traffic conditions.
x Your hands should always be on the
steering wheel so that you can steer at
any time.
x Observe the displays in the exterior mir-
ror housings and on the instrument clus-
ter display and act in accordance with
the requests.
x Always pay attention to what is happen-
ing around the vehicle.
x Never use the lane change system if the
radar sensors are dirty, covered or dam-
aged. These circumstances can impair
the proper functioning of the system.
x It may be hard to see the display in the
wing mirror in direct sunlight. The radar sensors calibrate themselves
once in the first f
ew kilometres after
vehicle delivery and if the sensors are re-
paired. The sensor range may be limited dur-
ing the calibration phase. Driving with the lane change
system
Please refer to at the start of the chap-
ter on page 172. Fig. 113
In the e
xterior mirror housing: visual
displays of the lane change system.
Switching on and off
You can switch the lane change system on
and off in the Assist systems menu of the In-
fotainment system. When the lane change
system is switched on, the yellow indicator
lamp in the exterior mirror housing lights
up once briefly.
This most recent system setting is retained
e

ven after the ignition has been switched off
and on.
Function
When switched on, the lane change system is
active from a speed of around 15 km/h
(9 mph). The lane change system is deactiva-
ted at a vehicle speed below 10 km/h
(6 mph).
In the following driving situations, the yellow
indicator lamp lights up in the housing of
the respectiv

e exterior mirror:

The yellow indicator lamp flashes if a pos-
sible critical situation is detected when you
indicate in the direction of the detected v
ehi-
cle.
The faster another vehicle approaches, the
earlier there is a corresponding display in the
exterior mirror.
Lane change system “Side Assist Plus”
If the vehicle is equipped with a lane keeping
system (Lane Assist) and the system is
switched on, the driver is warned by a correc-
tive steering intervention when changing
lanes during a possible critical situation (in-
formation level, warning level). The steering
intervention also occurs when the turn signal
is activated for the corresponding direction. If
the steering intervention is overridden by the
driver, the steering wheel vibrates to give an
additional warning. For this, steering wheel
vibration must be activated in the Assist sys-
tems menu in the Infotainment system.
Automatic deactivation
The lane change system will switch off auto-
matically if the radar sensors are permanent-
ly covered. This can be caused by a layer of
ice or snow in front of the radar sensor, for
example.
A text message will be shown on the instru-
ment cluster display.
If you use the factory-fitted trailer towing
coupling and have set up the necessary elec-
trical connection, the lane change system
switches off automatically. After you have
disconnected the electrical connection, the
lane change system is switched back on au-
tomatically.
If the trailer towing coupling is not factory-
fitted, you must manually switch off the lane
change system and then switch it back on
again.
Brightness
The brightness of the visual display will
change automatically depending on the am-
bient light levels. You can adjust the basic brightness of the
display in the Assist systems menu in the In-
f
otainment system. The lane change system
is not active during the setting procedure. Troubleshooting

ter on page 172. Lane change system fault.

together with the ABS indicator lamp the control function of the ABS may

ve failed. This can cause the rear
wheels to lock relatively quickly when
you brake. Locked rear wheels can lead
to a loss of control of the vehicle. If pos-
sible, reduce your speed and drive care-
fully at low speed to the nearest quali-
fied workshop in order to have the brake
system tested. Avoid sudden braking and
driving manoeuvres on the way.
x If the ABS indicator lamp does not go
out or comes on while the v
ehicle is in
motion, the ABS is not working properly.
The vehicle can be stopped using the
normal brakes only (without the anti-
lock brake system). The protection pro-
vided by the anti-lock brake system is no longer available. Go to a qualified work-
shop as soon as possible.
