WARNING Risk ofexhaust gas poisoning
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
ga ses such as carbon monoxide. Exhaust
ga ses can enter theve hicle interior if the
boot lid is open when the engine is running,
especially if theve hicle is in motion. #
Alw ays switch off the engine before
opening the boot lid. #
Never drive with the boot lid open. &
WARNING Risk of inju ryfrom unsecu red
items in theve hicle
If objects, luggage or loads are not secured
or not secured suf ficientl y,they could slip,
tip ove r or be throw n around and thereby hit
ve hicle occupants.
There is a risk of injur y,particularly in the
ev ent of sudden braking or a sudden change
in direction. #
Alw aysstow objects in such a wayth at
th ey cannot be thro wn around. #
Before the journe y,secure objects, lug‐
ga ge or loads against slipping or tipping

DANG ER Risk of fata l injury due topoi‐
sonous exhaust gases
If th eta ilpipe is bloc ked or suf ficient ventila‐
tion is not possible, poisonous exhaust gases
such as carbon monoxide may enter theve hi‐
cle. This is the case in enclosed spaces or if
th eve hicle gets stuck in sn ow,fo rex ample. #
Alw ays switch thest ationary heater off
in enclosed spaces without an air
ex traction sy stems, e.g. in garage s. #
Keep theta ilpipe and the area around
th eve hicle free from snow when the
engine or thest ationary heater are run‐
ning. #
Open a window on the windward side of
th eve hicle toensure an adequate sup‐
ply of fresh air. &
WARNING Risk offire due tohot station‐
ary heater components
When thest ationary heater is swit ched on,
parts of theve hicle can become very hot,
e.g. theex haust sy stem.
Flammable materials such as lea ves, grass or
twigs may ignite if they come into contact
wi th:
R hot parts of theex haust sy stem
R theex haust gas itself #
When thest ationary heater is swit ched
on, make sure that:
R hot vehicle parts do not come into
contact with flammable materials
R theex haust gas can flow out of the
ta ilpipe unhindered
R theex haust gas does not come into
contact with flammable materials 134

Fu
nction of Adaptive Brake Lights Ad
aptive Brake Lights warnfollowing traf fic in an
emergency braking situation:
R Byflashing brake lamps
R By activating the hazard warning lights
If th eve hicle is braked sharply from speeds
abo ve50 km/h, the brake lamps flash rapidly.
This pr ovides traf fic tr ave lling behind you with an
eve n more noticeable warning.
If th eve hicle is tr avelling at speeds of more than
70 km/h at the beginning of the brake applica‐
tion, the hazard warning lights switch on once
th eve hicle is stationar y.When pulling away
again, the hazard warning lights switch off auto‐
matically at appr oximately 10km/h. You can
also swit choff the hazard warning lights using
th e hazard warning button. Cruise control and limiter
Fu
nction of cruise control
Cruise cont rol accelerates and brakes theve hi‐
cle automatically in order tomaintain a pr evi‐
ously stored speed. If
yo u accelerate to overtake ,fo rex ample, the
st ored speed is not dele ted. If youre mo veyour
fo ot from the accelerator pedal af terove rtaking,
cruise control will resume speed regulation back
to thestored speed.
Yo u can operate cruise cont rol with the cruise
control le ver.
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 rth e dis tance totheve hicle in front, forve hi‐
cle speed, for braking in good time and forst ay‐
ing in lane.
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 braking ef fect
of the engine. 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 When visibility is poor
Fu nction of the limi ter
The limiter restricts the speed of theve hicle. To
re duce the speed swiftly 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 wi thwinter tyres fitted.
If yo ufa ilto adapt your driving style, the limiter
can neither reduce therisk of an accident nor Driving and parking

St eering Pilot requ ires you as the driver, tokeep
yo ur hands on thesteering wheel at all times so

re ct the course of theve hicle and keep it in lane.
The driver must expect a change from active to
passive mode or vice versa at any time.
If yo u are not steering yourself or if you take
yo ur hands off thesteering wheel for a pro‐
longed period of time, the sy stem will, depend‐
ing on the situation, firs t alert you with a visual

yo u are still not steering theve hicle yourself or
if yo u ha venot take n hold of thesteering wheel,
a wa rning tone sounds in addition tothewa rning
message toremind youto take control of the
ve hicle.
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.
Fu nction of Active Eme rgency Stop Assist
If th e driver continues toigno rethe acoustic
wa rning of theAc tive Lane Change Assi st, Dis‐
ta nce Pilot DISTRONIC reduces the speed. If the
driver still does not respond, theve hicle is decel‐
erated in stages toast andstill.
The driver can cancel the deceleration at any
time byper form ing one of thefo llowing actions:
R Steering
R Braking or accelerating
R Pressing a steering wheel button or operat‐
ing Touch Control R
Activating or deacti vating Steering Pilot or
Dis tance Pilot DISTRONIC
The driver mu stbe ready totake control of the

Start Assist Hill
Start Assist holds theve hicle for a short
time when pulling away on a hill under thefo l‐
lowing conditions:
R The transmission is in position hork.
R The elect ric pa rking brake is released.
This gives you enough time tomo veyour foot
from the brake pedal tothe accelerator pedal
and depress it before theve hicle begins toroll. &
WARNING Risk of accident and inju ry
caused bytheve hicle rolling away
Af ter a short time, Hill Start Assist no lon ger
holds theve hicle and it can rollaw ay. #
Therefore, swiftly mo veyour foot from
