If there is a fault in the ABS, the
wheels may be liable to lock due
to braking that is heavier than
normal. The advantages of ABS are no longer available. During
hard braking, the vehicle can no longer be steered and may
swerve.
Have the cause of the fault remedied
by a workshop.

Electronic Stability Control and Traction Control system
Electronic Stability Control improves
driving stability when necessary, regardless of the type of road surface
or tyre grip.
As soon as the vehicle starts to
swerve (understeer/oversteer),
engine output is reduced and the wheels are braked individually.
Electronic Stability Control operates
in combination with the Traction
Control system. It prevents the driven wheels from spinning.
The Traction Control system is a
component of the Electronic Stability
Control.
Traction Control improves driving
stability when necessary, regardless
of the type of road surface or tyre grip,
by preventing the driven wheels from
spinning.
As soon as the driven wheels starts to spin, engine output is reduced and
the wheel spinning the most is brakedindividually. This considerably
improves the driving stability of the
vehicle on slippery road surfaces.
Electronic Stability Control and
Traction Control are operational after
each engine start as soon as the
control indicator b extinguishes.
When Electronic Stability Control and Traction Control operate, b flashes.
9 Warning
Do not let this special safety
feature tempt you into taking risks
when driving.

systems9 Warning
Driver assistance systems are
developed to support the driver
and not to replace the driver's
attention.
The driver accepts full
responsibility when driving the
vehicle.
When using driver assistance
systems, always take care
regarding the current traffic
situation.
Cruise control
The cruise control can store and
maintain speeds above 40 km/h.
Additionally at least the third gear
must be engaged on manual
transmission, on automatic
transmission position D or the second
or a higher gear in position M must be
selected.
Deviations from the stored speeds may occur when driving uphill or
downhill.
The system maintains the vehicle
speed at the preset speed by the
driver, without any action on the
accelerator pedal.
The preset speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the
accelerator pedal.
The status and preset speed is
displayed in the Driver Information Centre.
Do not use the cruise control if it is not advisable to maintain a constant
speed.
Activating in first gear is not possible.
Control indicator m 3 101.

164Driving and operatingFault
In the event of a speed limiter fault, the speed is cleared resulting in
flashing of the dashes.
The speed limiter may not operate correctly if traffic signs do not comply
with the Vienna Convention on Road
Signs and Signals (Wiener
Übereinkommen über
Straßenverkehrszeichen).
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. 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.
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. Thevehicle 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.
If the vehicle in front accelerates or changes lane, the adaptive cruise
control progressively accelerates
your vehicle to return to the
programmed speed. If the driver
operates a direction indicator to
overtake a slower vehicle, the
adaptive cruise control allows your
vehicle to temporarily approach the
vehicle in front to assist the
overtaking manoeuvre, though never
exceeding the programmed speed.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.
Switching on
Press C to switch on the steering
wheel: symbol C is indicated in the
Driver Information Centre. The
system is still not active.

166Driving and operatingThis speed is the new value for the
cruise control.
Exceeding the set speed It is always possible to drive faster
than the selected set speed by
depressing the accelerator pedal.
When the accelerator pedal is
released, the vehicle returns to the
desired distance if a slower vehicle is
ahead. Otherwise it returns to the
stored speed.
Once 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.
If the programmed speed setting is
exceeded, the display of the speed
setting disappears and a message
"Cruise control suspended" is
displayed until the accelerator pedal
is released.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.
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.
In case of a brief stop of the vehicle
ahead the adaptive cruise control will
drive off automatically without driver
action. If necessary, press RES/+ or
the accelerator pedal to resume
adaptive cruise control.
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 resuming.
When the vehicle ahead drives away,
press RES+ or the accelerator pedal
to resume adaptive cruise control. If
stopped for more than five minutes or
if the driver's door is opened and the
driver's seat belt is unbuckled, the electric parking brake is applied
automatically to hold the vehicle.
Control indicator m will illuminate. To
release electric parking brake, press
the accelerator pedal. Electric parking

Setting the following distance
When adaptive cruise control detects a slower moving vehicle in the driving
path, it will adjust the vehicle speed to maintain the following distance
selected by the driver.
The following distance can be set to
close (1 dash), normal (2 dashes) or
distant (3 dashes).
If the engine is running and the
adaptive cruise control is selected
(grey), you can modify the following
distance setting:
Press Ö, the current setting is shown
in the Driver Information Centre.
Press Ö again to change the following
distance. The setting is also
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre.
The selected following distance is
indicated by filled distance bars in the
adaptive cruise control page.
9 Warning
The driver accepts full
responsibility for the appropriate
following distance based on traffic, weather and visibility conditions.
Following distance must be
adjusted or the system switched
off when required by the prevailing
conditions.
Deactivation
Press Ñ: cruise control is in pause
mode, Pause is indicated. The
vehicle is driven without cruise
control.
Cruise control is deactivated, but not
switched off. Last stored speed
remains in memory for later speed
resume.
Cruise control is deactivated
automatically:
● The brake pedal is depressed.
● The clutch pedal is depressed.
● Vehicle speed is below 40 km/h.
● The Traction Control system or Electronic Stability Control is
operating.
● For vehicles with automatic transmission, the selector lever is
in N.
Resume stored speed
Press toggle switch to RES/+ at a
speed above 40 km/h. The stored
speed will be obtained.
Switching off
Press C: the adaptive cruise control
mode is deselected and the cruise
control indication extinguishes in the
Driver Information Centre.

168Driving and operatingPressing ß to activate the speed
limiter deactivates cruise control.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed value.
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.
● Do not use the system when the spare wheel is in use.System limits9Warning
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.
● Adaptive cruise control does ignore the oncoming traffic.
● Adaptive cruise control does not consider pedestrians and
animals for braking and driving
off.
● Adaptive cruise control considers
stopped vehicles only at low
speed.
● Do not use adaptive cruise control when towing a trailer.
● Do not use adaptive cruise control on roads with an incline ofmore than 10%.
As the radar's field of detection is
quite narrow, it is possible that the
system may not detect:
● Vehicles of reduced width (motorcycles, scooters...).
● Vehicles not running in the middle of the lane,
● Vehicles entering a corner.
● Vehicles suddenly pulling out.
Bends
The adaptive cruise control calculates
a predicted path based on the
centrifugal force. This predicted path
considers the current bend
characteristic, but cannot consider a

Driving and operating169future bend change. The system may
lose the current vehicle ahead or consider a vehicle which is not in the
actual lane. This can happen when
entering or exiting a bend or if the
bend gets stronger or weaker. If it no
longer detects any vehicle ahead,
then control indicator A will
extinguish.
If the centrifugal force is too high in a
bend, the system slows down the vehicle slightly. This braking level is
not designed to avoid spinning-off the bend. The driver is responsible for
reducing the selected speed before
entering a bend and in general to
adapt the speed to the road type and
to existing speed limits.
Motorways
On motorways, adapt the set speed
to the situation and the weather.
Always consider that adaptive cruise
control has a limited visibility range, a
limited braking level and a certain
reaction time to verify if a vehicle is on
the driving path or not. Adaptive
cruise control may not be able to
brake the vehicle in time to avoid a
collision with a much slower vehicle or after a lane change. This is
particularly true while driving fast or if the visibility is reduced due to weather
conditions.
While entering or exiting a motorway,
adaptive cruise control may lose the
vehicle ahead and accelerate up to
the set speed. For this reason,
decrease the set speed before the
exit or before the entry.
Vehicle path changes
If another vehicle enters your driving
path, adaptive cruise control will first
consider the vehicle when it is
completely in your path. Be ready to
take action and depress the brake
pedal, if you need to brake more
quickly.
Hill and trailer considerations9 Warning
Do not use adaptive cruise control
on steep hill roads.
System performance on hills depends
on vehicle speed, vehicle load, traffic
conditions and the road gradient. It
may not detect a vehicle in your path
while driving on hills. On steep hills,
you may have to use the accelerator
pedal to maintain your vehicle speed.
When going downhill you may have to
brake to maintain or reduce your
speed.
Note that applying the brake
deactivates the system.

170Driving and operatingRadar unit
The radar unit is located in the middleof the front bumper.
9 Warning
The radar unit was aligned
carefully during manufacture.
Therefore, after a frontal accident, 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
correct the adaptive cruise control
sensor position.
Fault
In the event of a fault with the cruise
control, you are alerted by the
illumination of a warning lamp and the display of a message in the
instrument panel, accompanied by an
audible signal.
The adaptive cruise control may not
operate correctly if traffic signs do not comply with the Vienna Convention
on Road Signs and Signals (Wiener
Übereinkommen über
Straßenverkehrszeichen).
Have the system checked by a dealer
or a qualified workshop.
As a safety measure, do not use the
system if the brake lamps are faulty.
Do not use the system if the front
bumper is damaged.
Forward collision alert
The forward collision alert may help toavoid or reduce the harm caused by
front-end crashes.
The forward collision alert uses the
front camera in the windscreen and a
radar unit located behind the front
bumper of the vehicle to detect a
vehicle directly ahead, in your path.
If a vehicle directly ahead is
approached too quickly, a warning
chime and alert in the Driver
Information Centre is provided.
Activation
Forward collision alert detects
vehicles and operates automatically
at all speeds between 5 km/h and 140 km/h.
Alerting the driver
The system triggers different level of
alerts depending on the risk of
collision detected. The alerts are
displayed in the instrument cluster.
Level 1: A visual alert is displayed.
Level 2: A visual alert is displayed and
an audible alert is triggered.

Driving and operating171Caution
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, a warning is displayed in the Driver InformationCentre.
Simultaneously a warning chime sounds. Depress the brake pedal and
steer the vehicle, if it is required by the
situation.
Selecting the alert sensitivity
7'' Colour-Info-Display: Adjust the
alert sensitivity in the vehicle
personanlisation, 3 106.
8'' Colour-Info-Display: Adjust the
alert sensitivity in the settings of the
active emergency braking in the
vehicle personanlisation, 3 106.
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.
Deactivation The system can only be deactivated
by deactivating the active emergency braking in the vehicle personalisation,
3 106.
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
