pressing on the brake pedal or accelerator
pedal.
The vehicle symbol flashes red and an
acoustic signal sounds:
You are requested to intervene by brak‐
ing or make an evasive maneuver.
The system has been interrupted or dis‐
tance control is temporarily suppressed
because the accelerator pedal is being
pressed; a vehicle was not detected.
Distance control is temporarily sup‐
pressed because the accelerator pedal
is being pressed; a vehicle was de‐
tected.

System limits
Speed range The system is best used on well-constructed
roads. The system is functional at speeds be‐
ginning at approx. 20 mph/30 km/h.
The max. speed that can be set is
85 mph/140 km/h.Comply with the legal speed limit and safety
distance in every situation when using the sys‐
tem.
Detection range
The detection lidacity of the system and the au‐
tomatic braking lidacity are limited.
Two-wheeled vehicles for instance might not
be detected.
Limited detection potential
Because the camera detection system's
potential is limited, you should be alert at all
times so that you can intervene actively, if
needed; otherwise, there is the risk of an acci‐
dent. ◀
Deceleration
The system does not decelerate for:
▷Pedestrians, cyclists or similar slow road
users.▷Red traffic lights.▷Cross traffic.▷Oncoming traffic.▷Unlit vehicles or vehicles with defective
lighting at night.Seite 117Driving comfortCONTROLS117

Cruise controlThe concept
The system is functional at speeds beginning at
approx. 20 mph/30 km/h.
It maintains the speed that was set using the
control elements on the steering wheel.
The system brakes on downhill gradients if en‐
gine braking is insufficient.
Unfavorable conditions
Do not use the system if unfavorable con‐
ditions make it impossible to drive at a constant
speed, e.g.:▷On winding roads.▷In heavy traffic.▷On slippery roads, in fog, snow or rain, or
on a loose road surface.
Otherwise, you could lose control of the vehicle
and cause an accident. ◀
General information
The system is functional at speeds beginning at
approx. 20 mph/30 km/h.
Depending on the set drive mode, refer to
page 111, the features of the cruise control can
change in certain areas.

Hints Adjusting the desired speed
Modify desired speed to road conditions
and be ready to brake at all times; otherwise,
there is the risk of an accident. ◀
Maintaining/storing the speed Press button.
Or
or button: press while the system is in‐
terrupted.
When the system is switched on, the current
speed is maintained and stored as the desired
speed.
This is displayed in the instrument cluster.
When cruise control is maintained or stored,
DSC Dynamic Stability Control will be turned on
if needed.
Changing the speed
or button: press repeatedly until the de‐
sired speed is set.
If active, the displayed speed is stored and the
vehicle reaches the stored speed when the
road is clear.
▷ or button: each time it is pressed to
the point of resistance, the desired speed
increases or decreases by approx.
1 mph/1 km/h.▷ or button: each time it is pressed
past the point of resistance, the desired
speed increases or decreases by a maxi‐
mum of 5 mph/10 km/h.The maximum speed that can be set de‐
pends on the vehicle.▷ or button: pressing it to the resist‐
ance point and holding it there accelerates
or decelerates the vehicle without requiring
pressure on the accelerator pedal. After the
button is released, the vehicle maintains its
final speed. Pressing the reel beyond the
resistance point causes the vehicle to accel‐
erate more rapidly.
Resuming the desired speed
Press button.
The stored speed is reached and maintained.
Displays in the instrument cluster
Indicator lamp Depending on how the vehicle is equip‐
ped, the indicator lamp in the instru‐
ment cluster indicates whether the sys‐
tem is switched on.
Desired speed The desired speed is displayed together
with the symbol.

Coasting
The concept
The system helps to conserve fuel.
To do this, under certain conditions the engine
is automatically decoupled from the transmis‐
sion when selector lever position D is set. The
vehicle continues traveling with the engine
idling to reduce fuel consumption. Selector
lever position D remains engaged.
This driving condition is referred to as coasting.
As soon as the brake or accelerator pedal is de‐
pressed, the engine is automatically coupled to
the transmission again.
Hints
Coasting is a component of the GREEN driving
mode, refer to page 160.
Coasting is automatically activated when
GREEN mode is called via the Driving Dynamics
Control, refer to page 111.
The function is available in a certain speed
range.
A proactively driving style helps the driver to
use the function as often as possible and sup‐
ports the fuel-conserving effect of coasting.
Safety mode
The function is not available under one of the
following conditions.▷DSC OFF or TRACTION activated.▷Driving in the dynamic limit range and on
steep uphill or downhill grades.▷Battery charge status temporarily too low
or vehicle electrical system drawing exces‐
sive current.▷Cruise control activated.
Functional requirements
In GREEN mode, this function is available in a
speed range from approximately 30 mph, ap‐
prox. 50 km/h to 100 mph, approx. 160 km/h,
if the following conditions are met:
▷Accelerator pedal and brake pedal are not
operated.▷The selector lever is in selector lever posi‐
tion D.▷Engine and transmission are at operating
temperature.Seite 163Saving fuelDRIVING TIPS163
