WARNING■The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 215, General information .■
The system detects obstacles. The auxiliary boxes and lines are displayed
by the system, regardless of the area around the vehicle. The driver must
judge for themselves whether the vehicle can park safely in the selected
parking space.
■
The camera may not be soiled or obscured, otherwise the system function
will be significantly affected - there is a risk of an accident. For information
on cleaning » page 271.
CAUTION
■
The camera image is distorted by contrast with eyesight. For this reason, the
screen display is only of limited use for estimating distances to following vehi-
cles.■
Objects that are located directly beside the corners of the vehicle may be
outside the field of view of the cameras and may therefore not be displayed on
the screen.
■
Some items, such as thin posts, chain link fences, grilles or uneven road sur-
faces may not be properly displayed in terms of screen resolution.
■
In a vehicle damaged in the area of one of the cameras, the respective cam-
era can possibly deviate from the correct position. If this is the case, have the
sensor checked by a specialist garage.
CAUTION
The objects shown on the screen can be closer or even further away than they
appear. This is especially the case in the following situations.■
Protruding objects, such as the rear of a truck and the like.
■
When driving from a horizontal surface into a slope or a depression.
■
When driving from a slope or a depression onto a horizontal surface.

Park Assist (following referred to system) helps drivers park in suitable parallel
and perpendicular parking places or also to manoeuvre out of parallel parking
spaces.
The system takes over the steering movements only when parking or leaving a
parking space. The driver operates the brake, accelerator or clutch pedal and
the shift / selector lever.
The state in which the steering wheel is operated by the system, is referred to
as parking operation.
The Park Assist is an extension of the parking aid » page 220 and operates on
the basis of data collected by the ultrasonic sensors.
For this reason, the chapter on the parking aid is to be read carefully and the safety notes are to be observed. 

The Adaptive Cruise Control (hereinafter referred to as ACC) maintains the set
speed or the distance to the vehicle ahead without the accelerator or brake
pedal being pressed.
The front of the vehicle and the distance to the vehicle ahead is monitored by
a radar sensor » page 215.
The state in which the ACC maintains the speed or the proximity is described
as control from here on.
WARNING■
The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 215, in section Introduction .■
The driver must always be ready to take over the operation of the accel-
erator and brake pedal.
■
The ACC does not react when approaching a stationary obstacle, such as
traffic jams, vehicle breakdowns or vehicles waiting at a traffic light.
■
The ACC does not respond to crossing or oncoming objects.
■
If the ACC does not decelerate fast enough, immediately apply the vehi-
cle's foot brake.
WARNINGFor safety reasons, do not use the ACC under the following conditions.■When driving in turning lanes, motorway exits or construction sites, to
avoid an unwanted acceleration to the stored speed.■
When visibility is poor, (e.g. fog, heavy rain, thick snowfall).
■
When road conditions are poor (e.g. ice, slippery road, gravel, dirt road).
■
Driving in “sharp” corners or in steep gradients / on steep inclines. 
243Assist systems

WARNING (Continued)■When driving through places where metal objects (such as metal build-
ings, railway tracks, etc.) can be found.■
When driving through very divided and enclosed spaces (such as large-ca-
pacity garages, car ferries, tunnels and the like.).
Note
■ The ACC is designed primarily for use on motorways.■The ACC reduces the speed by automatically releasing the accelerator or by
means of a braking procedure as appropriate. If the brakes are used for an au-
tomatic speed reduction at any moments, then the brake light illuminates.■
In case of failure of more than one brake light on the vehicle or on the con-
nected trailer, the ACC becomes unavailable.
■
The control automatically cancels the engagement of the brake supportive
assistance systems (e.g. ESC) or when the maximum permitted engine speed is
exceeded.

The ACC allows you to set a speed of 30 - 160 or 210 km / h (depending on
equipment) and the distance to the vehicle ahead in the range of a very short
to a very long distance.
The ACC adjusts the set speed with respect to the detected vehicle ahead,
thus maintaining the selected proximity.
The ACC can detect a vehicle that is up to approx. 150 m ahead using the radar
sensor. 

Adaptive Chassis Control (DCC)
Read and observe
on page 251 first.
The adaptive chassis control (following known as DCC) provides the ability toadjust the shock characteristics for the sporty, normal or comfortable driving
when the corresponding control mode is selected.
The DCC evaluates steering response and road conditions while driving contin-
uously and adjusts the suspension behaviour within the selected driving mode
accordingly.
Mode
Eco
Read and observe on page 251 first.
This mode is suitable for a relaxed style of driving and helps to save fuel.
Selecting this mode primarily affects the function of the following systems.

Vehicle acceleration is more relaxed than in
Normal
mode.
The recommended gear is controlled such to achieve the lowest possible fuel
consumption » page 44.
If the START-STOP system is deactivated manually » page 205, this will be au-
tomatically activated.
The automatic gearbox is set automatically to mode E » page 210 .

256
The lane departure warning (following known as system) helps to keep the ve-
hicle between the boundary lines of a lane.
The system recognises the boundary lines of the lane using a sensor » Fig. 313.
When the vehicle approaches a detected line between lanes, the system
makes a light movement of the steering wheel in the opposite direction to the
boundary line. This corrective steering intervention can be manually overrid-
den at any time.WARNING■ Please take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance
systems » page 215, in section Introduction .■
Lane Assist can help you keep the vehicle within the lane. However, it
does not steer the vehicle for you. The driver retains full responsibility for
steering at all times.
■
Some objects or markings on the road can be recognised as the boundary
lines - an erroneous steering intervention may be the result.
WARNINGThe system may not be able to recognise the boundary line, or recognise it
incorrectly, for example, in the following situations.■
When visibility is poor, (e.g. fog, heavy rain, thick snowfall).
■
When driving in “sharp” bends.
■
The sensor is blinded by the sun or oncoming traffic.
■
The field of view of the sensor is limited by an obstacle or a preceding ve-
hicle.
CAUTION
Do not attach any stickers or similar objects in front of the sensor on the wind-
screen to avoid impairing the functions of the system.
Note
■ The system is designed for driving on motorways and roads with adequate
longitudinal markings.■
The system can detect both continuous and broken lines.

Fatigue detection
The fatigue detection system (following known as system) recommends the
driver taking a break from driving when, because of the driver's steering be-
haviour, driver fatigue can be detected.
From the starting of the journey, the system evaluates the steering behaviour
at speeds 65-200 km/h. If, while driving, there have been changes in the steer-
ing behaviours that are evaluated by the system as indicating possible fatigue,
a break recommendation is issued.
Conditions under which a break from driving is detected by the system ▶ The vehicle is stopped and the ignition switched off.
▶ The vehicle is stopped, the seat belt removed and the driver's door opened.
▶ The vehicle is stopped for more than 15 minutes.
If none of these conditions are met or if the driving style is not changed, the
system recommends a driving break again after 15 minutes.
