Operated by pressing c.
When braking in an emergency, the
hazard warning flashers are switched
on automatically, depending on the
force of deceleration. They are
switched off automatically the first
time you accelerate.
Turn lightsup:right turn lightsdown:left turn lights
A resistance point can be felt when
moving the indicator lever.
Constant flashing is activated when
the indicator lever is being moved
beyond the resistance point. It is
deactivated when the steering wheel
is moved in the opposite direction or
indicator lever is manually moved
back to its neutral position.
Activate temporary flashing by
holding the indicator lever just before
the resistance point. Turn lights will
flash until indicator lever is being
released.
To activate three flashes, tap the
indicator lever briefly without passing
the resistance point.
If you forget to cancel the turn lights
for more than 20 seconds, the volume
of the audible signal will increase if
the speed is above 80 km/h.

Driving and operating125
It 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.
The 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 ahead, but will
not exceed the set speed. It may
apply limited braking with activated
brake lights.
If the vehicle ahead accelerates or
changes lane, the adaptive cruise
control progressively accelerates the
vehicle to return to the stored set
speed. If the driver operates the turn
lights to overtake a slower vehicle, the
adaptive cruise control allows the
vehicle to temporarily approach the
vehicle ahead to help passing it.
However, the set speed will never be
exceeded.
The adaptive cruise control can store
set speeds over 30 km/h for manual
transmission. If the vehicle ahead is
moving too slowly and the selected
following distance cannot be
maintained anymore, a warning
chime is given and a message is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre. The message prompts the
driver to take back control of the
vehicle. On vehicles with automatic
transmission, the system can brake
the vehicle until a full stop.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 button
Ñ have priority over any adaptive
cruise control operation.
Switching on the system
Press w.
w is indicated in the Driver
Information Centre. The system is still not active.

132Driving and operatingAs a safety measure, do not use the
system if the brake lights are faulty.
Do not use the system if the front
bumper is damaged.
Active emergency braking
Active emergency braking can help to reduce the damage and injury from
crashes with vehicles and
pedestrians directly ahead, when the
driver does not actively take action
either by manual braking or by
steering. Before the active
emergency braking applies, the driver
is warned by the forward collision
alert.
Forward collision alert 3 135
Front pedestrian protection 3 137
Active emergency braking can be
deactivated in the vehicle
personalisation 3 77. If deactivated,
m illuminates in the instrument
cluster and a warning message is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre. When ignition is switched on next time, system is activated.The feature uses various inputs (e.g.
camera sensor, radar sensor, brake
pressure, vehicle speed) to calculate
the probability of a frontal collision.9 Warning
This system is not intended to
replace the driver responsibility for driving the vehicle and looking
ahead. Its function is limited to
supplemental use only to reduce
the vehicle speed before a
collision.
The system may not react to
animals. After a sudden lane
change, the system needs a
certain time to detect the next
preceding vehicle.
The driver must always be ready
to take action and apply the brakes and steer to avoid collisions.
9 Warning
The usage of a license plate
support may have an impact on
the proper operation of the radar
unit and may limit sensor
perfomance. Vehicles or
pedestrians driving or walking
ahead may not be detected by the
system.
Do not use a a license plate
support to ensure proper system
functionality.
Functionality
Depending on the vehicle
configuration and the detected
objects, there are several operational speed ranges.
On vehicles equipped only with front
camera, the active emergency
braking operates from 5 km/h to 80 km/h when a vehicle has been
detected.
On vehicles equipped with radar
sensor and front camera, the active
emergency braking operates from
5 km/h to 140 km/h when a vehicle
has been detected.
Active emergency braking only works when the seat belts of the front
passengers are fastened.

134Driving and operating9Warning
Smart brake assist may increase
vehicle braking in situations when
it may not be necessary. You
could block the flow of traffic. If this occurs, take your foot off the brakepedal and then apply the brakes
as needed.
Forward collision alert 3 135.
Front pedestrian protection 3 137.
System limitations In some cases, the active emergencybraking system may provide an
automatic braking in situations that
seem to be unnecessary, for instance
in parking garages, due to various
types of objects, i.e., traffic signs or
vehicles in another lane. This is
normal operation, the vehicle does
not need service. Firmly apply the
accelerator pedal to override the
automatic braking if the situation and
the surroundings permit.
In the following cases, active
emergency braking performance
might be limited:
● driving on winding or hilly roads
● detecting vehicles with a trailer, tractors, muddy vehicles, etc.
● detecting a vehicle when weather
limits visibility, such as in fog,
rain, or snow
● driving during nighttime
● the sensor in the windscreen or the radar unit behind the front
bumper are blocked by snow, ice,
slush, mud, dirt etc.
● the windscreen is damaged or affected by foreign objects, e.g.
stickers
the bumper is damaged or
affected by foreign objects, e.g.
license plate support
Complete attention is always required
while driving, and you should be
ready to take action and apply the
brakes and / or steer the vehicle to
avoid crashes.We recommend to deactivate the
system in the vehicle personalisation
in the following cases:
● when towing a trailer or caravan
● when carrying long objects on roof bars or a roof rack
● when the vehicle is being towed with the engine running
● when the vehicle is fitted with snow chains
● when a spare wheel is fitted that is smaller than the other wheels
● before using an automatic car wash with the engine running
● before placing the vehicle on a rolling road in a workshop
● if the windscreen has been damaged close to the camera
● if the front bumper has been damaged
● if the brake lights are not working
Fault
In case the system requires a service,
a message is displayed in the Driver
Information Centre.

146Driving and operatingSide blind spot alertSide blind zone alert assist helps to
avoid crashes due to unintentional
lane departures when an object is
detected within a specified blind spot zone.
The system displays a visual alert in
each exterior mirror, when detecting
objects that may not be visible in the
interior and exterior mirrors.
Side blind spot alert uses some of the
advanced parking assist sensors
which are located in the front and rear bumper on both sides of the vehicle.9 Warning
Side blind zone assistant system
is only a lane changing aid and does not replace driver vision.
Side blind zone assistant does not detect:
● Vehicles outside the side blind zones which may be rapidly
approaching.
● Pedestrians or animals.
● Non-moving objects, e.g. stationary vehicles, street
lights, road signs, etc.
Failure to use proper care when changing lanes may result in
damage to the vehicle, injury, or
death. Always check the outside
and rearview mirrors, glance over
your shoulder, and use the turn
signal before changing lanes.
Activation
The system can be activated via the
vehicle settings menu in the Info
Display.
Info Display 3 75.
Functionality
When the system detects a vehicle in
the side blind zone while driving
forwards, an LED will illuminate in the
relevant exterior mirror.
The LED comes on immediately when your vehicle is being passed.
The LED comes on after a delay when
your vehicle is passing another
vehicle slowly.

Lane keep assist
Lane keep assist supports the driver
to avoid unintended leaving of the
lane. The front camera observes road
edges, as well as the lane markings
between which the vehicle is driving.
If the vehicle approaches a road edge or a lane marking, the steering wheel
is gently turned to position so that the
vehicle turns back into the lane. The
driver will then notice a turning
movement of the steering wheel. Turn steering wheel in same direction, if
the system does not steer sufficiently.
Turn steering wheel gently into
opposite direction, if lane change is
intended.
When the system steers to correct the trajectory of the vehicle, L flashes
yellow in the instrument cluster.
Unintended lane departure is not
assumed by the system when the turn lights are operated and during few
seconds after turn lights have been
switched off.Note
The system may be switched off if it
detects lanes which are too narrow,
too wide or too curved.
Following preconditions have to be
fulfilled:
● vehicle speed must be between 65 km/h and 180 km/h
● the driver must hold the steering wheel
● the turn lights are not activated
● the electronic stability control is activated and not in operation
● the vehicle is not connected to a trailer or an electric bicycle carrier
● normal driving behaviour (system
detects dynamic driving style, i.e. pressure on the brake or
accelerator pedal)
● roads with good lane markings ● no spare wheel is used
● the driver is not taking the hands off the steering wheel for a longer
time period
● the vehicle is not driven in a tight
corner

Driving and operating153Activation
If the system is activated, the LED in
the button j is not illuminated. To
activate the system when the system
is deactivated, press j.
The system is operational at vehicle
speeds between 65 km/h and
180 km/h and if lane markings are
detectable. The driver must hold the
steering wheel. The electronic
stability control system must be

The control indicator L flashes
yellow during trajectory correction.
If the driver wishes to maintain the
trajectory of the vehicle, he can
interrupt the correction by keeping a
firm grip on the steering wheel, e.g.
during an avoiding manoeuvre. The
correction is interrupted if the turn
lights are operated. If the vehicle is
equipped with active side blind spot detection, the interruption of the lane
correction might be cancelled.
Side blind zone assistant 3 146.
There is no correction triggered when
the turn lights are operated and
during few seconds after turn lights
have been switched off.
If the system detects that the driver is not holding the steering wheel
permanently, it interrupts the
