Driving and operating185Resume limit speedTurn thumb wheel to RES/+. The
stored speed limit will be obtained
and is indicated without brackets in
the Driver Information Centre.
Switching off the system
Press L, the speed limit indication
extinguishes in the Driver Information Centre. The stored speed is deleted.
By pressing m to activate cruise
control or adaptive cruise control,
speed limiter is also deactivated and
the stored speed is deleted.
By switching off the ignition, speed
limiter is also deactivated, but the
speed limit will be stored for next
speed limiter activation.
Adaptive cruise control
Adaptive cruise control is an
enhancement to conventional cruise
control with the additional feature of maintaining a certain distance behind the vehicle ahead.Adaptive cruise control automatically
decelerates the vehicle when
approaching a slower moving vehicle. It then adjusts the vehicle speed to
follow the vehicle ahead at the
selected following distance. The
vehicle speed increases or decreases
to follow the vehicle in front, but will
not exceed the set speed. It may
apply limited braking with activated
brake lights.
The adaptive cruise control can store set speed over 30 km/h for manual
transmission. On vehicles with
automatic transmissions the system
can brake until a full stop and drive off
from a stop.
Adaptive cruise control uses radar
and camera sensors to detect the
vehicles ahead. If no vehicle is
detected in the driving path, the
adaptive cruise control will behave
like a conventional cruise control.
For additional information including a
video, visit us online.
Adaptive cruise control is mainly
advised to be used on long straight
roads like motorways or country
roads with steady traffic. Do not use
the system if it is not advisable to
maintain a constant speed.
Control indicator A 3 113, m 3 112,
C 3 113.9 Warning
The complete driver attention is
always required while driving with adaptive cruise control. The driver stays fully in control of the vehicle
because the brake pedal, the
accelerator pedal and the cancel
switch have priority over any
adaptive cruise control operation.

Driving and operating189● The Traction Control system isdeactivated or operating.
● The Electronic Stability Control is
deactivated or operating.
● There is no traffic and nothing detected on the road sides forapprox. 1 minute. In this case
there are no radar echoes and
the sensor may report that it is
blocked.
● The active emergency braking system is applying the brakes.
● Driving on steep inclines.
● The radar sensor is blocked by an ice or water film.
● A fault is detected in the radar, camera, engine or brake system.
● The brakes need to cool down.
Additionally, the system is
automatically deactivated on vehicles
with automatic transmission (full
speed range adaptive cruise control)
when:
● The incline uphill or downhill is greater than 20%.
● The electric parking brake is applied.●The vehicle is being held to a stop
by the system for more than
5 minutes.
● The vehicle stops, the driver's seat belt is unbuckled and the
driver's door is opened.
When adaptive cruise control is
deactivated, the control indicator C
changes from green to white and a
pop-up message is displayed in the
Driver Information Centre.
The stored speed is maintained.
On Midlevel display, the stored speed is indicated in brackets in the Driver
Information Centre when the system
is deactivated but not switched off.
On Uplevel display, the adaptive
cruise control symbol C changes
from green to white when the system
is deactivated but not switched off.
9 Warning
When adaptive cruise control is
deactivated, the driver must take
over full brake and engine control
immediately.
Switching off the system
Press v to switch off adaptive cruise
control. The control indicator C
extinguishes in the Driver Information Centre. The stored speed is deleted.
Switching off the ignition also
switches off adaptive cruise control
and deletes the stored speed.
Driver's attention ● Use adaptive cruise control carefully on bends or mountainroads, as it can lose the vehicle
ahead and needs time to detect it again.

192Driving and operatingThe radar unit is mounted behind the
radiator grille behind or below the
brand emblem.9 Warning
The radar unit was aligned
carefully during manufacture.
Therefore, in the event of a front-
end impact, do not use the system. The front bumper may appear to
be intact, however the sensor
behind can be out of position and
react incorrectly. After an
accident, consult a workshop to
verify and adjust the radar unit
position.

Vehicle personalisation 3 123.
Fault
If the adaptive cruise control does not work due to temporary conditions
(e.g. blockage by ice, overheated
brakes or low speed manoeuvres) or
if there is a permanent system error,
then a message is displayed in the
Driver Information Centre.
Vehicle messages 3 122.
Forward collision alert The forward collision alert may help toavoid or reduce the harm caused by
front-end crashes.
If the vehicle is equipped with
conventional cruise control, the
forward collision alert uses the front
camera in the windscreen to detect a
vehicle directly ahead, in your path.
If the vehicle is equipped with
adaptive cruise control, the forward
collision alert uses the radar sensor to detect a vehicle directly ahead, in
your path.
A vehicle ahead is indicated by the
control indicator A.
If a vehicle directly ahead is
approached too quickly, a warning
chime and alert in the Driver
Information Centre is provided.
Additionally the driver gets notified by
a flashing red LED stripe which is
projected on the windscreen in the
driver's field of view.
A precondition is that forward collision
alert with front camera system is not
deactivated by pressing V on the
steering wheel or, with radar sensor,
that it is not deactivated in the vehicle
personalisation menu 3 123.

Driving and operating193ActivationForward collision alert with front
camera detects vehicles to distances
of approx. 60 m and operates
automatically at all speeds above
walking speed.
Forward collision alert with radar
sensor detects vehicles to distances
of approx. 150 m and operates
automatically at all speeds above
walking speed.
Alerting the driver
The vehicle ahead control indicator
A illuminates green in the instrument
cluster when the system has detected
a vehicle in the driving path.
The control indicator A changes to
yellow when the distance to a
preceding moving vehicle gets too
small or when approaching another
vehicle too rapidly.Caution
The colour lighting of this control
indicator does not correspond to
local traffic laws on following
distance. The driver bears full
responsibility for maintaining safe
following distance according to
applicable traffic rules, weather
and road conditions etc. at all
times.
When the time to a potential collision
with a vehicle in front gets too small
and a collision is imminent, the
collision alert symbol pops-up in the
Driver Information Centre and the
driver gets notified by a warning
chime sound.
Depress the brake pedal and steer
the vehicle, if it is required by the
situation.
Selecting the alert sensitivity
Press V or E to set the alert
sensitivity to near, medium or far and on some versions off.
The first button press shows the
current setting on the Driver
Information Centre. Additional button presses will change this setting. The
chosen setting will remain until it is
changed. The alert timing will vary
based on vehicle speed. The faster the vehicle speed, the farther awaythe alert will occur. Consider traffic
and weather conditions when
selecting the alert timing.

194Driving and operating
Note that the alert timing sensitivity
setting is shared with the following distance setting of the adaptive cruise control. So changing the alert timing
sensitivity changes the adaptive
cruise control following distance
setting.
Deactivation The system can be deactivated.
On forward collision alert with radar
sensor the system can be disabled by
the personalisation menu 3 123.
On forward collision alert with front
camera press V repeatedly until
Forward Collision Alert Off appears in
the Driver Information Centre.
If the forward collision alert was
deactivated, alert sensitivity is set to "medium" when ignition is switchedon next time.
The last selected setting will be stored
when the ignition is switched off.
General information9 Warning
Forward collision alert is just a
warning system and does not
apply the brakes. When
approaching a vehicle ahead too
rapidly, it may not provide you
enough time to avoid a collision.
The driver accepts full
responsibility for the appropriate
following distance based on traffic, weather and visibility conditions.
The complete attention of the
driver is always required while
driving. The driver must always be
ready to take action and apply the
brakes.
System limitations
Forward collision alert is designed to warn on vehicles only, but may reactalso to other objects.
In the following cases, forward
collision alert may not detect a vehicle ahead or sensor performance is
limited:
● driving on winding or hilly roads● during nighttime driving
● weather limits visibility, such as fog, rain, or snow
● the sensor in the windscreen is blocked by snow, ice, slush, mud,dirt, windscreen damage or
affected by foreign items, e.g.
stickers
