Driving and operating181Once the system is activated,
adaptive cruise control decelerates or
brakes if it detects a vehicle ahead,
which is slower or closer than the
desired following distance.9 Warning
Accelerating by the driver
deactivates automatic braking by
the system. This is indicated as a
pop-up warning in the Driver
Information Centre or by the
adaptive cruise control symbol
turning blue.
Take over current speed
If the accelerator pedal is pressed,
the current vehicle speed is taken
over as stored speed. This is also
valid, if the current vehicle speed is
lower than the Set Speed.
Increase or reduce speed
The preset speed can be changed by moving thumb wheel to RES/+ to
increase or SET/- to decrease the
speed. Move thumb wheel repeatedly
to change speed in small steps, move and hold to change speed in large
steps.
Resume stored speed If the system is switched on but
inactive and a speed was stored before, turn thumb wheel to RES/+ at
a speed above 5 km/h (with automatic
transmission) or above 30 km/h (with
manual transmission) to resume the stored speed.
Full speed range adaptive cruise
control on vehicles with automatic transmission
Full speed range adaptive cruise control will maintain a following
distance behind a detected vehicle
and slow your vehicle to a stop behind
that vehicle.When the vehicle ahead accelerates
after a brief stop, the adaptive cruise
control will drive off automatically
without driver action. If necessary,
press RES/+ or the accelerator pedal
to resume adaptive cruise control.
Pressing the accelerator pedal allows
more control over the acceleration
after driving off. Note that automatic
braking is disabled during usage of
the accelerator pedal.
If the stopped vehicle ahead was
stopped for a longer time and then
begins to move forward, the green
illuminated vehicle ahead control
indicator A will flash and a warning
chime will sound as a reminder to check traffic before proceeding.9 Warning
When full speed range adaptive
cruise control is deactivated or
cancelled, the vehicle will no
longer be held at a stop and can

184Driving and operating●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 mountain
roads, as it can lose the vehicle
ahead and needs time to detect it again.
● Do not use the system on slippery roads as it can create
rapid changes in tyre traction
(wheel spinning), so that you
could lose control of the vehicle.
● Do not use adaptive cruise control during rain, snow or
heavy dirt, as the radar sensor
can be covered by a water film,
dust, ice or snow. This reduces or suppresses completely the
visibility. In case of sensor
blockage, clean the sensor
cover.
System limits9 Warning
The system's automatic brake
force does not permit hard braking and the braking level may not be
sufficient to avoid a collision.
● After a sudden lane change, the system needs a certain time to
detect the next preceding
vehicle. So if a new vehicle is
detected, the system may
accelerate instead of braking.

Driving and operating201A brief vibration in the steering wheel
after engaging reverse gear indicates
that the steering is controlled by the
system. Then the vehicle is steered into the slot automatically by giving
the driver detailed instructions for
braking, accelerating and gear
shifting. The driver must keep hands
away from the steering wheel.
Always pay attention to the signals of
the front-rear parking assist.
Continuous signal indicates that the
distance to an obstacle is less than
approx. 40 cm.
If, for any reason, the driver must take over control of the steering, hold the
steering wheel only at the outer edge. Automatic steering is cancelled in thisevent.Display indication
The instructions on the display show:
● General hints and warning messages.
● A hint when driving faster than 30 km/h during parking slot
searching mode.
● The demand to stop the vehicle, when a parking slot is detected.●The direction of driving during the
parking manoeuvre.
● The demand to shift into reverse or first gear.
● The demand to stop or to drive slowly.
● For some of the instructions a progress bar is shown in the
Driver Information Centre.
● The successful completion of the
parking manoeuvre indicated bya message in the Driver
Information Centre and a chime.
● The cancelling of a parking manoeuvre.
Display priorities
Advanced parking assist indication in the Driver Information Centre can be
inhibited by vehicle messages with a higher priority. After approving the
message by pressing SET/CLR on
the indicator lever or 9 on the
steering wheel, advanced parking
assist instructions appear again and
the parking manoeuvre can be
continued.Deactivation
The system is deactivated by:
● a short press of (
● parking manoeuvre successfully ended
● driving faster than 30 km/h during
parking slot search
● driving faster than 8 km/h during parking guidance
● driver interference on steering wheel detected
● exceeding the maximum permissible gear changes of
eleven
● switching off the ignition
Deactivation by the driver or by the system during manoeuvring will beindicated by a message on the
display. Additionally, an acoustic
signal sounds.
Fault
A message appears when:
● There is a fault in the system.
● The system is not operational.
● Any of the deactivation reasons described above apply.

Driving and operating209
Activate alerts by setting J,
deactivate alerts by setting I via
button 9.
Pop-up alert is displayed for approx.
8 seconds in the Driver Information
Centre.
System reset The content of the traffic sign displaycan be cleared in the setting menu of
the traffic sign assistant page by
selecting Reset and confirm by
pressing SET/CLR on the indicator
lever or 9 on the steering wheel
controls.
Alternatively, SET/CLR or 9 can be
pressed for 3 seconds to clear the
content of the page.
Upon successful reset, a chime will
sound and the following “Default
Sign” is indicated until the next traffic
sign is detected or provided by map
data of the navigation system.
In some cases, traffic sign assistant is
cleared up automatically by the
system.
Clearing of traffic signs
There are different scenarios that
lead to clearing the currently
displayed traffic signs. After clearing,
the “Default Sign” or a sign from
navigation map data is displayed in
the Driver Information Centre.
Reasons for signs being cleared:
● A predefined distance was driven
or time has elapsed (differs for
each sign type)
● Vehicle drives through a turn
● If no navigation map data is available and speed drops below52 km/h (city entry detection)
● If navigation map data is available and a city entry / exit
was detected due to map data
change
Traffic sign detection in
conjunction with navigation
system
If the vehicle is equipped with a
navigation system, the currently
displayed sign can either originate
from optical sign detection or from the
map data.
If the currently displayed sign
originates from map data and the map
information changes, a new sign will
be displayed. This may lead to
detection of a new sign although no
sign on the road may have been
passed.

210Driving and operatingSystem limitations
Traffic sign assistant may not operate properly when:
● Vehicle speed is faster than 200 km/h.
● Driving on winding or hilly roads. ● During nighttime driving.
● The area of the windscreen, where the front camera is
located, is not clean or affected
by foreign items, e.g. stickers.
● Weather limits visibility, such as fog, rain, or snow.
● The sun is shining directly into the camera lens.
● Traffic signs are completely or partially covered or difficult to
discern.
● Traffic signs are incorrectly mounted or damaged.
● Traffic signs do not comply with the Vienna Convention on traffic
signs.
● The navigation map data is outdated.Caution
The system is intended to help thedriver within a defined speed
range to discern certain traffic
signs. Do not ignore traffic signs
which are not displayed by the
system.
The system does not discern any other than the conventional traffic
signs that might give or end a
speed limit.
Do not let this special feature
tempt you into taking risks when
driving.
Always adapt speed to the road
conditions.
The driver assistance systems do not relieve the driver from full
responsibility for vehicle
operation.
Lane keep assist
Lane keep assist supports the driver
to avoid unintentional crossing of lane markings. The front camera observes
the lane markings between which the
vehicle is driving. If the vehicle
approaches a lane marking without
activated turn signal, the steering
wheel is gently turned to position the
vehicle back into the lane. Turn
steering wheel in same direction, if
system steers not sufficient. Turn
steering wheel gently into opposite
direction, if lane change is intended.
The Lane Keep Assist informs the
driver with an optical warning during
the trajectory correction. If the system is not able to avoid the lane crossing
an additional acoustic warning is
issued.
Unintended lane departure is
assumed:
● without using the turn lights
● using the turn lights in the opposite direction of the lane
departure
● without braking
● without acceleration
● without active steering
Note
The system might be inactive when
the detected lane markings are ambiguous or insufficient, e.g. in
construction areas.

Driving and operating211Note
The system may be switched off if it
detects lanes which are too narrow,
too wide or too curved.
Activation
The lane keep assist is activated by
pressing a. The LED in the button
illuminates to indicate that the system
is switched on.
When the control indicator a in the
instrument cluster illuminates green,
the system is ready to assist.
The system is operational at vehicle
speeds between 60 km/h and
180 km/h and if lane markings are
available.
The system gently turns the steering
wheel and the control indicator a
changes to yellow, if the vehicle
approaches a detected lane marking
without using the turn lights in that
direction.
The system alerts by flashing a
together with three chimes, from the
respective direction, if the lane is
departed significantly.
The system is only operable when a
lane marking is detected.
If the system only detects lane
markings on one side of the road, it
will only assist for this side.
Lane keep assist detects hands-free
driving. In this case a message in the
Driver Information Centre pops-up
and a chime sounds as long as lane
keep assist detects hands-free
driving.Deactivation
The system is deactivated by
pressing a; the LED in the button
extinguishes.
The system is deactivated
automatically when a trailer is
detected.
Fault
The system performance may be affected by:
● Windscreen not clean or affected
by foreign items, e.g. stickers
● Close vehicles ahead
● Banked roads
● Winding or hilly roads
● Road edges
● Roads with poor lane markings
● Sudden lighting changes
● Adverse environmental conditions e.g. heavy rain or
snow
● Vehicle modifications, e.g. tyres ● Fogged windscreen
