ve20 km/h up tothe maximum speed
or up tothe set winter tyre limit.
If yo ufa ilto adapt your driving style, cruise con‐
trol can neither reduce therisk of an accident
nor override the la wsof ph ysics. It cannot take
into account road, weather or traf fic conditions.
Cruise control is only an aid. You are responsible
fo r maintaining a safe dis tance totheve hicle in
front, forve hicle speed, for braking in good time
and forst ay ing in lane.
Displa yson the multifunction display
The status of cruise control and thestored
speed are shown in the multifunction displa y. 1
Cruise cont rol is selec ted
2 Speed is sa ved, cruise control is deactivated
3 Speed is sa ved, cruise control is activated
0009 The segments extending from the cur rent
st ored speed tothe end of the scale, or to
th e set winter tyre limit, light up in the
speedome ter.
Sy stem limitations
Cruise control may be unable tomaintain the
st ored speed on uphill gradients. The stored
speed is resumed when the gradient evens out.
Change into a lo werge ar in good time on long
and steep downhill gradients. Take particular no
te ofthis when driving a laden vehicle. By
doing so, you will make use of the engine's brak‐
ing ef fect. This relie vesth e load on the brake
sy stem and pr events the brakes from overheat‐
ing and wearing tooqu ickl y.
Do not use cruise control in thefo llowing situa‐
tions:
R In traf fic situations whi chrequ ire frequent
ch anges of speed, e.g. in heavy traf fic, on
winding roads.
R On slippe ryroads. Accelerating can cause
th e drive wheels tolose traction and the
ve hicle could then skid.
R Ifyo u are driving when visibility is poor.
Fu nction of the limiter
The limiter restricts the speed of theve hicle. To
re duce the speed tothe set speed, the limiter
applies the brakes automaticall y.
Yo u can limit the speed as follo ws:
R Variable: for speed limits, e.g. in built-up
areas.
R Perm anen t:for long-term speed restrictions,
e.g. when driving in winter tyre mode. Driving and pa

Ac
tive Steering Assist is operational at speeds
up to210 km/h and helps youto stay inthe
centre of the lane bymeans of moderate steer‐
ing inter ventions. It uses theve hicle in front and
th e lane markings as a refere nce depending on
th e driven speed.
When the sy stem is actively steering, theè
symbol is shown in green in the multifunction
displa y.
If th e de tection of lane markings and vehicles
ahead is impaired, Active Steering Assist
switches topassive mode. The sy stem pr ovides
no support in this case. During the transition
from active topassive status, theè symbol is
shown as enlar ged and flashes yello w. Once the
sy stem is passive, theè symbol is shown as
gr ey inthe multifunction displa y.
Ste ering and touch de tection
The driver is requiredtokeep their hands on the
st eering wheel at all times and be able tointer‐
ve ne at any time tocor rect the course of the
ve hicle and keep it in lane. The driver must
ex pect a change from active topassive mode or
vice versa at any time. If
th e sy stem reaches a sy stem limitation or the
driver has not steered theve hicle for a consider‐
able period of time or has remo vedth eir hands
from thesteering wheel, the sy stem will,
depending on the situation, alert the driver
either with a visual warning or a visual and
acoustic warning. Display 1appears in the mul‐
tifunction displa y.
If th e driver does not steer theve hicle over a
long period, or has not take n hold of thesteering
wheel, a repeated warning tone sounds in addi‐
tion tothe visual warning message (depending
on the count ry). The
warning message does not appear or disap‐
pears if one of thefo llowing conditions are me t:
R The driver steers theve hicle.
R The driver presses a steering wheel button or
operates Touch Control.
Ac tive Steering Assist is only an aid. The driver is
re sponsible forth e dis tance totheve hicle in
front, forve hicle speed, for braking in good time
and forst ay ing in lane. Before changing lanes,
th e driver must make sure that the neighbouring
lane is free (glance over the shoulder).
Sy stem limitations
Ac tive Steering Assist has a limited steering tor‐
qu efo r lateral guidance. In some cases, the
st eering inter vention is not su fficient tokeep the
ve hicle in the lane or todrive past exits.
The sy stem may be impaired or may not function
in thefo llowing ins tances:
R In sno w,rain, fog, heavy spr ay, if there is
gl are, direct sunlight, greatlyvarying light
conditions, reflections or stro ng shado wson

R When towing a trailer.
R When actively changing lane without swit ch‐

0009 The following function is countr y-dependent
and only available in conjunction with the
Driving Assi stance Package.
Ac tive Lane Change Assi stsupports the driver
when changing lanes byapplying steering torque
if th e driver operates a turn signal.
Assis tance when changing lanes is pr ovided if all
th efo llowing conditions are me t:
R You are driving on a mo torw ay orroad with
multiple lanes in the direction of tr avel.
R The neighbouring lane is separated bya bro‐
ke n lane ma rking.
R Novehicle is de tected in the adjacent lane.
R The driven speed is between 80 km/h and
18 0 km/h.
R Active Lane Change Assi stis switched on in
th e multimedia sy stem.
R Active Steering Assist is switched on and
active. If no
vehicle is de tected in the adjacent lane and
a lane change is permit ted, the lane change
begins. This is shown tothe driver with a green
ar row 2next tothesteering wheel symbol.
The Lane change to the left message also
appears, forex ample. If Active Lane Change
Assi sthas been activated with the turn signal
indicator but a lane change is not immediately
possible, a gr eyarrow 1appears next tothe
st eering wheel symbol, which remains green.
When the lane change assis tance starts, the turn
signal indicator is automatically activated beside
th e display in the multifunction displa y.
If th e assis tance graphic is shown when chang‐
ing lanes, the lane change display appears with an additional ar
rowpointing towa rdsth e adja‐
cent lane (0013 page 230).
If a lane change is not possible, the ar row fa des
out af ter a few seconds and a new lane change
must be initiated. An immediate lane change is
on ly possible on mo torw ay sections without
speed limits.
If th e sy stem is impaired, Active Lane Change
Assi stmay be cancelled. If it is cancelled, the
Lane change cancelled message appears inthe
multifunction display and a warning tone sounds. 000A
WARNING Risk of accident from chang‐
ing lane toan occupied adjacent lane
