Adaptive cruise control ml ____________ __._ __ _
• A red vehicle is shown in the instrument cluster display
=>
page 132, fig. 123.
• The text
DISTANCE! appears in the status line .
• The indicator light in the Instrument cluster blinks red .
• A warning tone sounds.
[I) Tips
• If the adaptive cruise control initiates brak ing, the hydraulic brake
system is under pressure . Therefore, the brake pedal distance is
shorter and the pedal "feels" harder .
• Adaptive cruise control is switched off after press ing the foot­
brake . The speed saved up this point can be resumed.
• To resume the saved speed, release the brake pedal and press the
control lever=>
page 126, "Turning adaptive cruise control off
temporarily ".
• If you use the accelerator to go faster than the speed of the object
ahead of you, the
driver intervention prompt will not be accompa­
nied by a warn ing signal.
• If the speed you previously set is exceeded, the indicator light in
the speedometer will switch off.•

System limitations

General information
Some driving situations which affect the function of the
radar sensor are described below.
When driving, the adaptive cru ise contro l is governed by physical and
system-specified limits. Also, under certain circumstances, the ACC
system may react unexpectedly or late from the driver's point of view.
Therefore, a lways be attentive and intervene, if necessary:
• when driving around curves=>
page 134
• when vehicles in front are not in line with your vehicle=> page 134
• when other ve hicles are changing lanes=> page 134
• when other veh icles are difficult to detect=> page 135.
& WARNING
The radar sensor's vision can be reduced by rain, snow and heavy
spray . This can result in vehicles driving ahead being inadequately
detected or , in some circumstances , not detected at all. If neces­
sary, take action yourself!•

General information
Side assist has limits and cannot detect vehicles under all road and
weathe r conditions . Please remember system limitat ions and never

• driving t hrough curves =>
page 144,
• lanes a re of differe nt widths => page 144. •
Ap plies to veh icles : w it h side ass ist
When driving through curves
Side assist cannot detect vehicles in curves with a turning radius of
less than 3 28 feet (1 00 m).
When driving through a cu rve, it is possible that side assist may
reg iste r a vehi cle two l anes over, and the sign al on the o utside m irro r

Side assist 's detection area is designed to cover lanes of standard

you drive in the center of your lane or closer to the edge.
If you dr ive in narrow lanes, s ide ass is t's detec tion area may also

Automatic selector lever lock
The selector lever is locked in the P and N positions when the ignition
is turned on . To move the lever from these positions the driver must
depress the brake pedal. As a reminder to the driver, the following
warning appears in the instrument cluster display when the selector
is in
P and N:
When stationary apply footbrake while selecting gear
A time delay element prevents the selector lever from locking when
it is moved through the
N position (going from R to D). The locking
element will lock the selector lever if the lever is left in N (Neutral) for
more than approximately 1 second, without the brake pedal being
pressed .
At speeds above about 3 mph (5 km/h) the Automatic Shift Lock is
automatically deactivated in the
N position.
Interlock button
The lock button on the selector lever prevents the lever from being
accidentally shifted into ce rtain positions. Pressing this button deac­
tivates the selector lever lock. Depending on the direction of the
shift, the selector lever locks at different positions . The positions are
highlighted in the illustration ~
page 153, fig. 147.
Ignition key safety interlock
The key cannot be removed from the ignition unless the selector lever
is in the
P park position . When the ignition key is removed, the
selector lever will be locked in the
P position. •
Applies to vehicle s: with au toma tic tr ansm is si on
Kick-down
The kick-down feature allows the vehicle to generate
maximum acceleration.
When you press the accelerator pedal beyond the resistance point
that is reached at full throttle, the transmission will select a lower
gear ratio based on vehicle speed and engine RPM . The engine RPM will be controlled to produce maximum vehicle acceleration as
long
as you continue to press the accelerator pedal beyond this resistance
point .
& WARNING
Be careful when using the kick-down feature on slippery roads.
Rapid acceleration may cause the vehicle to skid. •
Applies to ve hicles : with automatic t ransm iss ion
Dynamic shift program (DSP)
The automatic transmission is electronically controlled.
The transmission is self adapting and will automatically select the
best shift program suited to the driving conditions and driving style .
The transmission will select one of the
economy programs when you
drive at a steady speed or a gradually changing speed without heavy
acceleration . This achieves optimum fuel efficiency, with early
upshifting and delayed downshifting.
The transmission will automatically select the
sporty shift programs
when you drive at higher speeds, or with heavy acceleration and
frequently changing speeds. Upshifts are delayed to make full use of
engine power . Downshifting takes place at higher engine speeds than
in the economy programs.
The selection of the most suitable shift program is a continuous,
automatic process . The driver can also make the transmission switch
to a sporty program by
quickly pressing down the gas pedal.
This causes the transmission to shift down to a lower gear to achieve rapid acceleration, e.g. for quickly passing another vehicle. You do
not need to press the gas pedal into the kick -down range. After the
transmission has upshifted, the original program is selected
according to your driving style.
An additional shift program allows the automatic transmission to
select the proper gear for uphill and downhill gradients.

- Remove the ashtray insert @.
- Now you can see a small cover in the ashtray holder on the

- Release and remove this cover.
- You now have access to a bolt. Using a screwdriver or similar, press the bolt down and hold it down=> fig. 152.
- Now press the interlock and move the selector lever to the
N position .
The selector lever can only be moved from the P position if the igni­
tion key is in the lock and the ignit io n is tur ned on. If the vehicle has
to be pushed or towed if the power supply fails (e.g. battery is
discharged), the selector lever must first be moved to the
N position
using the emergency locking device .•
