Automatic light control
When the automatic light control
function is switched on and the
engine is running, the system
switches between daytime running
lights and headlights automatically
depending on the external lighting
conditions and information given by
the wiper system.
Daytime running light 3 133.
Automatic headlight activation
During poor lighting conditions the
headlights are switched on.
Additionally, headlights are switched
on if the windscreen wipers have
been activated for several wipes.
High beam
To activate the high beam, pull the
lever beyond the resistance point.
High beam assist The camera in the windscreen
detects the lights of oncoming or
preceding vehicles. Once activated,
high beam assist remains active and switches high beam on and off
automatically. The latest setting of the
high beam assist will remain after the ignition is switched on again.
This feature automatically activates
the high beam at night when vehicle
is faster than 25 km/h.
It switches automatically back to low
beam when:
● A sensor detects the lights of oncoming or preceding vehicles.
● Driving in urban areas.
● The vehicle is slower than 15 km/h.
● It is foggy or snowy.
● Front or rear fog lights are switched on.
If there are no restrictions detected,
the system switches back to high
beam.

180Driving and operatingThe speed limiter is deactivated, but
not switched off. The last stored
speed remains in memory for later
speed resume.
Resume limit speed
Press the button to return to the
stored speed limit.
Switching off the system
Turn to 0 to switch off the system.
Fault
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.
Adaptive cruise control
The adaptive cruise control is an
enhancement to the conventional
cruise control with the additional
feature of maintaining a certain
following distance to the vehicle
ahead. It uses a camera at the top of
the windscreen and a radar sensor in
the front bumper 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. The
adaptive cruise control does not
actively brake the vehicle but uses
engine braking.
If the vehicle ahead accelerates or changes lane, the adaptive cruise
control progressively accelerates the
vehicle to return to the stored set

Driving and operating187Fault
In the event of a fault with the adaptive cruise control, a warning light is
illuminated and a message is
displayed in the instrument cluster,
accompanied by a warning chime.
The adaptive cruise control may not
operate correctly if traffic signs do not comply with the Vienna Convention
on Road Signs and Signals.
Have the system checked by a dealer
or a qualified workshop.
As a safety measure, do not use the
system if the brake lights are faulty.
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 sensor in the front bumper to
detect a preceding 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.9 Warning
Forward collision alert is just a
warning system and does not
apply the brakes. When
approaching a vehicle ahead too
rapidly, there may not be 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.
Activation
Forward collision alert detects
vehicles and operates automatically
at all speeds between 5 km/h and
85 km/h. The system detects
stationary vehicles if the speed does
not exceed 80 km/h.
Alerting the driver The driver is warned by following
alerts:
● Symbol I illuminates and a
warning message is displayed in
the Driver Information Centre
when the distance to the vehicle
ahead gets to small.
● Symbol I illuminates, a
warning message is displayed in the Driver Information Centre and a warning chime sounds, when a
collision is imminent and
immediate driver's action is
required.

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.
Selecting the alert sensitivity
The alert sensitivity has to be set to
close, normal or distant in the vehicle personalisation menu 3 124.
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 away
the 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
3 124.
System limitations
Forward collision alert is designed to
warn on vehicles only, but may react
also 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
● driving during nighttime
● weather limits visibility, such as fog, rain, or snow
● the sensor in the windscreen is blocked by snow, ice, slush, mud,dirt etc.
● the windscreen is damaged or affected by foreign objects, e.g.
stickers
Active emergency braking
Active emergency braking can help to reduce the damage and injury from
crashes with vehicles, pedestrians
and obstacles directly ahead, when a
collision can no longer be avoided
either by manual braking or by
steering. Before the active
emergency braking applies, the driver is warned by the forward collision
alert or the front pedestrian protection
alert.

Driving and operating189Forward collision alert 3 187
Front pedestrian protection 3 191
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.
Functionality
Active emergency braking is
equipped with a front camera and
operates in forward gear above
walking speed up to 85 km/h. The
system detects stationary vehicles
only if the speed does not exceed
80 km/h. Pedestrians are detected
only if the speed does not exceed
60 km/h.
A precondition is that active
emergency braking is not deactivated
in the vehicle personalisation menu
3 124.
If deactivated, m illuminates in the
instrument cluster and a warning message is displayed in the Driver
Information Centre.
If the system has been deactivated, it
is reactivated automatically the next
time the ignition is switched on.
The system includes: ● emergency automatic braking
● forward collision alert
● front pedestrian protectionEmergency automatic braking
After activation of brake preparation
system and just before the imminent
collision, this function automatically
applies limited braking to reduce the
impact speed of the collision or
prohibit a crash.
If active emergency braking is
applied, m flashes in the instrument
cluster.
Depending on the situation, the
vehicle may automatically brake
moderately or hard.
Front automatic braking can only
occur if a vehicle or a pedestrian
ahead is detected.
Forward collision alert 3 187
Front pedestrian protection 3 191
Below a speed of 30 km/h,
emergency automatic braking may
slow down the vehicle to a complete
stop. If the speed exceeds 30 km/h,
emergency automatic braking
reduces the speed. However, the
driver must apply the brake.

Driving and operating191● if the front bumper has beendamaged
● if the brake lamps are not working
Fault
In case the system requires a service,
m is illuminated in the instrument
cluster, a message is displayed in the Driver Information Centre and an
audible signal is given.
If the system does not work as it
should do, vehicle messages are
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre.
Vehicle messages 3 123.
Front pedestrian protection
Front pedestrian protection may help
to avoid or reduce the harm caused by front-end crashes with pedestrians when driving forward.
The system uses the front camera in
the windscreen and a radar sensor in
the front bumper to detect a
pedestrian directly ahead in your
path.Front pedestrian protection can
detect and alert to pedestrians in a
forward gear at speeds between
5 km/h and 60 km/h.
During nighttime driving, system
performance is limited.9 Danger
Front pedestrian braking does not
provide an alert or automatically
brake the vehicle, unless it detects
a pedestrian.
The system may not detect
pedestrians, including children,
when the pedestrian is not directly ahead, not fully visible, not
standing upright, or when part of a
group.
Front pedestrian protection includes:
● detecting front pedestrian ahead● front pedestrian alert
Front pedestrian protection is
activated together with forward
collision alert.
Forward collision alert 3 187.
Detecting front pedestrian ahead
A pedestrian ahead is indicated by a
symbol in the instrument cluster.
Front pedestrian alert
When approaching a detected
pedestrian too quickly, a warning
message is displayed in the Driver
Information Centre. A warning chime
is provided.
Cruise control or adaptive cruise control may be disengaged when the
front pedestrian alert occurs.
System limitations
In the following cases, front
pedestrian protection may not detect
a pedestrian ahead or the sensor
performance is limited:
● vehicle speed is out of range from
5 km/h to 60 km/h in forward gear
● the distance to an pedestrian ahead is more than 40 m
● driving on winding or hilly roads
● driving during nighttime
● weather limits visibility, such as fog, rain, or snow
