Professional navigation system
If the vehicle is equipped with a Professional
navigation system, the system adapts the ac‐
celeration and deceleration behavior of the ve‐
hicle to the road on which you are currently
driving.
To ensure that the system has the latest infor‐
mation on the course of the road, use the most
recent version of the navigation data.
If the vehicle position is unknown, e.g., if you
have left the region covered by the map, the
navigation system ceases to influence vehicle
behavior.
Applications Please try the system first during sparse traffic
and clear road conditions so that you can get
used to the system. After you have experience
and understand the system, only then use it
during normal traffic.
As with conventional cruise control systems,
active cruise control in no way reduces or sub‐
stitutes for the driver's own personal experi‐
ence, responsibility, alertness and awareness
in adjusting speed, braking or otherwise con‐
trolling the vehicle. The driver should decide
when to use the system on the basis of road,
traffic, visibility, and weather conditions. Active
cruise control is intended for use on highway-
type roadways where traffic is moving rela‐
tively smoothly as well as in slow-moving traf‐
fic congestion. Do not use the system in city
driving; in complex driving situations; heavy
traffic such as during rush hour; on curvy,
winding roads, slippery roads or roads with
sharp curves such as highway off-ramps; dur‐
ing inclement weather such as snow, strong
rain or fog; or when entering interchanges,
service/parking areas or toll booths. It is also
important to regulate your vehicle's speed and
distance setting within applicable legal limits.
Always be ready to take action or apply the
brakes if necessary, especially when the sys‐
tem is actively following a vehicle in front of
you. Otherwise, driving conditions can resultwhich lead to a violation of the law or elevated
risk of an accident.
The minimum initial activation speed is
20 mph/ 30 km/h, and the maximum speed is
110 mph/ 180 km/h. The system can also be
activated while the vehicle is stationary, refer
to page 114.
