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.

without distance control
Display in the instrument cluster:
Cruise Control without distance control.
Camera-based cruise control with dis‐ tance control.
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 102CONTROLSDriving comfort102

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 96, the features of the cruise control can
change in certain areas.
