Driving sy stems and your responsibility
Yo ur vehicle is equipped with driving sy stems
which assist youin dr iving, parking and maneu‐

and do not relie ve you of your responsibility. Pay
attention tothe tra ffic conditions at all times

Fu nction of thera dar senso rs
Some driving and driving safe ty systems use
ra dar sensors tomonitor the area in front of,
behind or next totheve hicle (depending on the
ve hicle's equipment).
Depending on theve hicle's equipment, thera dar
sensors are integrated behind the bumpers
and/or behind thera diator grille. Keep these
parts free of dirt, ice and slush (
→page 327).
The sensors must not be co vered, forex ample
by bicycle rack s, ove rhanging loads or radar-

th eeve nt of associated damage , which may not
be visible, tothe bumpers or radiator grille, ha ve
th e function of thera dar sensors checked at a

Evasive Steering Assist
Evasive Steering Assist cannot always clearly

In addition, thesteering support of Evasive
St eering Assist is general lynot suff icientto

Sy stem limitations
The sy stem may be impaired or may not function
in thefo llowing situations:
RIn sno w,rain, fog, heavy spr ay, if there is

light conditions.
RIf th e sensors are dirty, mis ted up, damaged

RIf a loss of tire pressure or a defective tire
has been de tected and displ ayed.
The sy stem may not react cor rectly:
RIn complex traffic situations whe reobjects
cannot always be clearly identified.
RTo pedestrians or vehicles if they mo ve
qu ickly into the sensor de tection range.
RTo pedestrians who are hidden by other
objects.
RIf th e typical outline of a pedestrian cannot

Speed control cruise control
Function 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 toove rtake, forex 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
wearin
g tooqu ickl y.
Do not use cruise control in thefo llowing situa‐
tions:
RIn traf fic situations whi chrequ ire frequent
ch anges of speed, e.g. in heavy traf fic, on
winding roads.
ROn slippery roads. Accelerating can cause
th e drive wheels tolose traction and the
ve hicle could then skid.
RIfyo u are driving when visibility is poor.
