Canceling a brake application of
Active Brake
Assi st
Yo u can cancel a brake application of Active
Brake Assi stat any time by:
R Fully depressing the accelerator pedal or with
kickdown.
R Fully releasing the brake pedal (only during
situation-dependent braking assis tance).
Ac tive Brake Assi stmay cancel the brake applica‐
tion when one of thefo llowing conditions is fulfil‐
led:
R You maneuver toavo idthe obs tacle.
R Thereis no longer a risk of collision.
R An obs tacle is no longer de tected in front of
yo ur vehicle.
Sy stem limitations
The sy stem may be impaired or may not function
in thefo llowing situations:
R The sensors are af fected bysno w,rain, fog or
heavy spr ay.
R The sensors are dirty, fogged up, damaged or
co vered.
R The sensors are af fected byinter fere nce from

R If a loss of tire pressure or a defective tire has
been de tected and displa yed.
R Full sy stem per form ance is not available for a

Fu

Cruise cont rol accelerates and brakes theve hicle
automatically in order tomaintain a pr eviously
st ored 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.
Cruise contro l is operated using the cor respond‐
ing steering wheel buttons. You can store any
ro ad speed abo ve15 mp h (20 km/h).
If yo ufa ilto adapt your driving style, cruise con‐
trol can neither reduce therisk of an accident nor
ove rride 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

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.
On long and steep downhill gradients, you should
ch ange down toa lo werge ar in good time. Take
particular no teofthis when driving a laden vehi‐

engine's braking ef fect. This relie vesth e load on

Do not use cruise control in thefo llowing situa‐

R In traf fic situations whe refrequent speed
ch anges are requ ired, e.g. in heavy traf fic or
on winding roads.
R On slippe ryroads. Accele rating can cause the
drive wheels tolose traction and theve hicle
could then skid.
