Issued warning
Lamp in the exterior mirror
Information stage
The dimmed lamp in the exterior mirror indi‐
cates when there are vehicles in the blind spot
or approaching from behind.
WARNING If the turn signal is set while a vehicle is in the
critical zone, the steering wheel vibrates briefly
and the lamp in the exterior mirror flashes
brightly.
Vehicles with side collision warning: it at
speeds between 45 mph/70 km/h and
130 mph/210 km/h the vibrating steering
wheel is ignored and the lane marking crossed,
the system intervenes with a brief active steer‐
ing intervention and helps to return the vehicle
into the lane. The steering intervention can be
noticed on the steering wheel and can be man‐
ually overridden at any time.
The warning stops when the turn signal is
switched off, or the other vehicle leaves the
critical zone.
Brief flashing of the lamp A brief flashing of the lamp during vehicle un‐
locking serves as system self-test.

Weather
In the event of unfavorable weather and light conditions, e. g. if there is rain, snowfall, slush,
fog or glare, this may result in poorer recogni‐
tion of vehicles as well as short-term interrup‐
tions for vehicles that are already detected. Drive attentively, and react to the current trafficsituation. If necessary, intervene actively, e.g.
by braking, steering or evading.

Cruise control
The concept The system maintains a preset speed via the
buttons on the steering wheel. The system
brakes on downhill gradients if engine braking
is insufficient.
General information
Depending on the driving settings, the features
of the cruise control can change in certain
areas.
The desired speed is also maintained downhill,
but may not be maintained on uphill grades if
engine power is insufficient.
Due to the driving style that minimizes fuel
consumption in ECO PRO drive mode, the ve‐
hicle may drop below the set desired speed in
some situations, e.g. on uphill grades.
Information WARNING
The use of the system can lead to an in‐
creased risk of accidents in the following situa‐
tions:
▷On winding roads.▷In heavy traffic.▷On slippery roads, in fog, snow or rain, or
on a loose road surface.
