OPERATING ICC
To set cruising speed, accelerate your vehicle
to the desired speed and quickly push the
cruise control lever, up
1or down4. Take
your foot off the accelerator pedal. Your ve-
hicle will maintain the set speed.
NOTE
If you do not fully release the accelerator
pedal, the [ICC Suspended] message ap-
pears in the vehicle information display. The
set distance to a slower-moving vehicle in
front will then not be maintained. You will be
driving at the speed you determine by the
position of the accelerator pedal.
You can also activate the ICC when station-
ary. The lowest speed that can be set is 20
MPH (30 km/h ).
System operation
The driver sets the desired vehicle speed
based on the road conditions. The ICC sys-
tem maintains the set vehicle speed, similar to
standard cruise control, as long as no vehicle is detected in the lane ahead. The ICC system
displays the set speed for 5 seconds after the
cruise control lever is activated.
Vehicle detected ahead:
When a vehicle is detected in the lane ahead,
the ICC system decelerates the vehicle by
controlling the throttle and applying the
brakes to match the speed of a slower vehicle
ahead. The system then controls the vehicle
speed based on the speed of the vehicle
ahead to maintain the driver selected dis-
tance.
The brake lights of the vehicle come on when
braking is performed by the ICC system.
When the brake operates, a noise may be
heard. This is not a malfunction.
When a vehicle ahead is detected, the vehicle
ahead symbol
1appears in the vehicle infor-
mation display.
Vehicle ahead not detected:
When a vehicle is no longer detected ahead,
the ICC system gradually accelerates your
vehicle to resume the previously set vehicle
speed. The ICC system then maintains the set
speed.
When a vehicle is no longer detected, the
vehicle ahead display turns off

If a vehicle ahead appears during accelera-
tion to the set vehicle speed or any time the
ICC system is in operation, the system con-
trols the distance to that vehicle.
Changing lanes to pass another
vehicle:
When you changes lane to pass another ve-
hicle, ICC supports the action if:
•The vehicle speed is more than 45 MPH
(70 km/h)
•The ICC is maintaining the distance to a
vehicle in front
•The respective turn signal is activated
If these conditions are met, the vehicle will be
accelerated. Acceleration will be interrupted
if changing lanes takes too long or if the
distance between your vehicle and the ve-
hicle in front becomes too small.
How to change the set vehicle
speed
To cancel the preset speed, use any of these
methods:
•Tap the brake pedal when the vehicle is
moving.
•Quickly push the cruise control lever in the
direction of arrow
5.
The message [ICC OFF] appears in the ve-
hicle information display for 5 seconds.
To reset at a higher cruising speed, use one of
the following methods:
•Depress the accelerator pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed, quickly
pull the cruise control lever towards you
3.
•Pull the cruise control lever up1beyond
the pressure point. The set vehicle speed
will increase by approximately 10 MPH
(10 km/h).
•Pull the cruise control lever up (1) at the
pressure point. The set vehicle speed will
increase by approximately 1 MPH (1 km/h).
To reset at a lower cruising speed, use one of
the following methods:
•Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the ve-
hicle attains the desired speed, quickly pull
the cruise control lever towards you
3.
•Pull the cruise control lever down4be-
yond the pressure point. The set vehicle
speed will decrease by approximately 10
MPH (10 km/h).
•Pull the cruise control lever down4to the
pressure point. The set vehicle speed will de-
crease by approximately 1 MPH (1 km/h).
To resume the preset speed, quickly pull the
cruise control lever towards you
4. The ve-
hicle will resume the last set cruising speed
when the vehicle speed is over 20 MPH
(30 km/h).
NOTE
If you do not fully release the accelerator
pedal, the [ICC Deactivated Automatically]
message appears in the vehicle information

How to change the set distance to
the vehicle ahead
The distance to the vehicle ahead can be
selected at any time depending on the traffic
conditions.
To increase the distance to the vehicle ahead,
turn the knob
3toward the rear2.To
decrease the distance to the vehicle ahead,
turn the knob
3toward the front1.
You can see this distance in the vehicle infor-
mation display.
The distance to the vehicle ahead will change
according to the vehicle speed. The higher the
vehicle speed, the longer the distance.
Approach warning
If your vehicle comes closer to the vehicle
ahead due to rapid deceleration of that ve-
hicle or if another vehicle cuts in, the system
warns the driver with the chime and distance
warning light. Decelerate by depressing the
brake pedal to maintain a safe vehicle dis-
tance if:
•The chime sounds.
•The distance warning light is illuminated.
The warning chime may not sound and the
distance warning light may not illuminate in
some cases when there is a short distance
between vehicles. Some examples are:
•When the vehicles are traveling at the
same speed and the distance between ve-
hicles is not changing. In this case, the
distance warning light will be on.
•When the vehicle ahead is traveling faster
and the distance between vehicles is in-
creasing.
•When a vehicle cuts in near your vehicle
•The warning chime will not sound and the
distance warning light will not illuminate
when: – The vehicle approaches other vehicles that are parked or moving slowly. – The accelerator pedal is depressed,
overriding the system.
Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affected by
vehicle operation (steering maneuver or driv-
ing position in the lane) or traffic or vehicle
condition (for example, if a vehicle is being
driven with some damage).
Automatic cancellation
A chime sounds and the message [ICC off] is
displayed in the vehicle information display
for 5 seconds under the following conditions
and the control is automatically canceled.
•The electric parking brake is applied.
•The VDC intervenes or the VDC is deacti-
vated.
•The P (Park), R (Reverse) or N (Neutral)
position is engaged.
•The cruise control lever is pulled in order to
pull away but the front passenger door or
one of the rear doors is open.
•The vehicle is skidding or a wheel slips.
•Active Park Assist is activated.

IPA is an electronic parking aid with ultra-
sound. It detects vehicles and open spaces on
both sides of the vehicle. A parking symbol
indicates a suitable parking space. Active
steering intervention can assist you during
parking and when exiting a parking space.
The driver controls the accelerator, brake and
gear shift. You may also use the Camera Aid-
ing Sonar (parking sensor) function (see "
Camera Aiding Sonar (parking sensor) func-
tion (if equipped)" later in this section).
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES
WARNING
•IPA is only an aid. It is not a substitute
for your attention to the immediate sur-
roundings. The responsibility for safe
maneuvering and parking remains with
you.
•Make sure that no persons, animals or
objects are in the maneuvering range
•When the sonar (parking sensor) func-
tion is deactivated, IPA is also unavail-
able.
•While parking or pulling out of a parking
space, the vehicle swings out and can
drive onto areas of the oncoming lane.
This could cause you to collide with other road users. There is a risk of an
accident.
•Pay attention to other road users. Stop
the vehicle if necessary or cancel the IPA
parking procedure
•This system is not designed to prevent
contact with small or moving objects.
•If your vehicle sustains damage to the
bumper fascia, leaving it misaligned or
bent, the sensing zone may be altered
causing inaccurate measurement of ob-
stacles or false alarms.
•This system is not designed to prevent
contact with small or moving objects.
•If your vehicle sustains damage to the
bumper fascia, leaving it misaligned or
bent, the sensing zone may be altered
causing inaccurate measurement of ob-
stacles or false alarms.
CAUTION
Do not drive over obstacles such as curbs,
as you may damage the wheels or tires.
IPA may also display spaces not suitable for
parking, for example:
•Parking or stopping prohibition.
•In front of driveways or entrances and
exits.
•Unsuitable surfaces.
Parking tips:
•On narrow roads, drive as closely as pos-
sible past the parking space.
•Parking spaces that are littered or over-
grown might be identified or measured
incorrectly.
•Parking spaces that are partly occupied by
trailer towing bars might not be identified
as such or be measured incorrectly.
•Snowfall or heavy rain may lead to a park-
ing space being measured inaccurately.
•Pay attention to the sonar function warn-
ing messages during the parking proce-
dure.
•You can intervene in the steering proce-
dure to correct it at any time. IPA will then
be canceled.
•When transporting a load which protrudes
from your vehicle, you should not use IPA.
•Never use IPA when snow chains are fit-
ted.
•Make sure that the tire pressures are al-
ways correct. This has a direct influence on
the parking characteristics of the vehicle.
INTELLIGENT PARKING ASSIST (IPA)
(IF EQUIPPED)
Starting and driving5-71

1Detected parking space on the left.
2Parking symbol.
3Detected parking space on the right.
IPA is activated automatically when driving
forwards. The system is operational at
speeds of up to approximately 19 MPH (30
km/h). While in operation, the system inde-
pendently locates and measures parking
spaces on both sides of the vehicle
IPA will only detect parking spaces:
•Adjacent to the vehicle.
•Parallel or at right angles to the direction
of travel.
•That are parallel to the direction of travel
and are at least 5 ft (1.5 m) wide.
•That are parallel to the direction of travel
and at least 3.3 ft (1.0 m) longer than your
vehicle.
•That are at right angles to the direction of
travel and at least 3.3 ft (1.0 m) wider than
your vehicle.
NOTE
IPA cannot measure the length of a parking
space if it is at right angles to the direction of
travel. You will need to judge whether your
vehicle will fit in the parking space
When driving at speeds below 19 MPH (30
km/h) you will see parking symbol
2as a
status indicator in the vehicle information
display. When a parking space has been de-
tected, an arrow towards the right
3or the
left
1also appears. IPA only displays park-
ing spaces on the front-passenger side as
standard. Parking spaces on the driver's side
are displayed as soon as the turn signal on the
driver's side is activated. When parking on the
driver's side, this must remain activated until
you confirm the use of IPA by pressing the
button on the steering wheel. The sys-
tem automatically determines whether the
parking space is parallel or at right angles to
the direction of travel.
A parking space is displayed while you are
driving past it, and until you are approxi-
mately 50 ft (15 m) away from it.
PARKING
NOTE
When the sonar function detects obstacles,
you are responsible for braking in good time.
1. Stop the vehicle when the parking symbol shows the desired parking space in the
combination meter
2. Shift into position R. The [Start Park Assist? Yes: OK No:]
message appears in the vehicle informa-
tion display.
3. To cancel the procedure: press the
button on the steering wheel or pull away
or
4. To park using IPA press the button
on the steering wheel. The Park Assist
[Observe surroundings] message appears
in the vehicle information display.
5. Release the steering wheel.
6. Back up the vehicle, being ready to brake at all times. When backing up, drive at a
speed below 5 MPH (10 km/h). Other-
wise, IPA will be canceled.

7. Stop as soon as the sonar function soundsthe continuous warning tone, if not be-
fore. Maneuvering may be required in
tight parking spaces.
The [Park Assist active Select D Observe

hicle information display.
8. Select transmission position D (Drive) while the vehicle is stationary.
IPA immediately steers in the other direc-
tion.
The [Park Assist Observe surroundings]
message appears in the vehicle informa-
tion display.
NOTE
You will achieve the best results by wait-
ing for the steering procedure to com-
plete before pulling away.
9. Drive forwards and be ready to brake at all times.
Maneuvering may be required in tight
parking spaces. Drive forward and back
up as prompted by the IPA and sonar
function warning displays, several times if
necessary. 10. Stop as soon as the sonar function
sounds the continuous warning tone, if
not before.
The [Park Assist active Select R] [Ob-
serve surroundings] message appears in
the vehicle information display.
As soon as the parking procedure is
complete the [Park Assist switched off]
message appears and a warning tone
sounds. The vehicle is now parked.
11. Before leaving the vehicle, secure the ve- hicle against rolling away unintentionally:
•The electric parking brake must be ap-
plied.
•The transmission must be in position P
(Park) and the transmission position
display must show P in the vehicle
information display.
•The key must be removed from the
ignition switch.
•On uphill or downhill gradients, the
front wheels must be turned towards
the curb.
IPA no longer supports you with steering in-
terventions. When IPA is finished, you must
steer again yourself. The sonar function is still
available. Parking tips:
•The way your vehicle is positioned in the
parking space after parking is dependent
on various factors. These include the posi-
tion and shape of the vehicles parked in
front and behind it and the conditions of
the location. It may be the case that IPA
guides you too far into a parking space, or
not far enough into it. In some cases, it
may also lead you across or onto the curb.
If necessary you should cancel the parking
procedure with IPA.
•During the parking maneuver, the system
will indicate when you should shift to R
(Reverse) or D (Drive). However, you can
freely choose to shift gear whenever you
feel you need to. Should the transmission
change take place too early, the parking
procedure will be canceled. A sensible
parking position can no longer be achieved
from this position.
EXITING A PARKING SPACE
In order that IPA can support when exiting
the parking space:
•You need to have parked using IPA.
•The border of the parking space must be
high enough at the front and the rear. A
curb stone is too small, for example.
