Memory
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 29.
The multifunction display is equipped with three automatic memories.
The display of the selected memory varies depending on vehicle equipment.
Since start (MAXI DOT display) or “1” (segment display)The memory collates the driving information from the moment the ignition isswitched on until it is switched off.
New data will also flow into the calculation of the current driving information if
the trip is continued within 2 hours after switching off the ignition.
If the trip is interrupted for more than 2 hours, the memory is automatically
erased.
Long-term (MAXI DOT display) or “2” (segment display)
The memory gathers driving information from any number of individual journeys
up to a total of 99 hours and 59 minutes driving or 9999 kilometres driven.
The memory is deleted when either of these limits is reached and the calculation
starts all over again.
Since refuel (MAXI DOT display) or “3” (segment display)
The memory gathers driving information since the last refuelling.
The memory is erased automatically the next time you fill up.

Advance warning
If Front Assist detects a risk of collision with a vehicle ahead, a symbol appears in
the display of the instrument cluster and an acoustic signal is heard » Fig. 142 - .
At the same time, the braking system is prepared for possible emergency braking.
The advance warning may occur when driving between 30 km/h and 210 km/h.
Apply the brakes or avoid the obstacle!
Acute alert
If the driver does not react to the advance warning, Front Assist briefly applies
the brake automatically via an active brake intervention to draw attention to the
potential danger of a collision again.
Automatic Braking
If the driver fails to respond to the acute warning, Front Assist starts to apply the
brakes automatically with increasing stopping power in several stages.
Front Assist can help to mitigate the consequences of a potential accident by
means of a speed reduction.
Brake Support
If the driver does not brake sufficiently in case of an imminent collision, Front As-
sist can increase the braking power, thereby reducing the consequences of a po-
tential accident.
The brake support only occurs as long as the brake pedal is being firmly pressed
down.
CAUTION
The automatic braking interventions by Front Assist can be terminated by press-
ing the clutch or the accelerator, or by moving the steering wheel.
Note
If an automatic brake intervention is triggered by Front Assist, the pressure in the
brake system increases and the brake pedal cannot be operated with the normal
pedal stroke.
Activating/deactivating
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 154.
Front Assist is automatically activated each time the ignition is switched on.
Front Assist should only be disabled in exceptional cases.
Activate / deactivate front assist
Front Assist can be activated or deactivated in the Infotainment » Infotainment
manual , chapter Vehicle settings (CAR button) or in the MAXI-DOTDis-
play » page 32 , Menu item wizard .
By disabling the system, the proximity warning system and the advance warning are also deactivated.
Activate/deactivate proximity warning
The proximity warning indicator can be activated/deactivated in the Infotain-
ment » Infotainment manual , chapter Vehicle settings (CAR button) .
The set proximity warning remains active even after stopping and starting the ig-
nition.
Activate/deactivate advance warning
The advance warning can be activated/deactivated in the Infotainment » Info-
tainment manual , chapter Vehicle settings (CAR button) .
The set advance warning remains active even after stopping and starting the ig- nition.
“City”Emergency braking
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 154.
The “City”Emergency braking function (From here on referred to only as the emer-
gency brake function) is a component of the Front Assist system.
The emergency brake function assists the driver when driving as follows. › Prepares the brakes for emergency braking prior to a detected danger.
› If the driver fails to respond to a detected danger, an automatic brake action oc-
curs with stopping power that increases in several stages.
The emergency brake function intervenes when driving between about 5 km/h
and 34 km / h.

WARNING■ Setting the driving mode while driving can distract you from other traffic –
risk of accident.■
Concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver you are fully re-
sponsible for the operation of your vehicle.
■
Adjust the speed and driving style to the current visibility, weather, road and
traffic conditions.
Note
The driver can change some vehicle functions irrespective of the selected driving
mode. For instance, in the driving mode Eco, the driver can switch the automatic
transmission to the mode S.

If the turn signal is switched on prior to driving over the boundary line (e.g. whenmaking a turn), no steering intervention takes place when the vehicle approaches
the boundary line. The system regards the situation as an intended lane change.
The system can intervene when the following basic conditions are present. The system is activated.
The vehicle is travelling at more than 65 km/h.
The boundary lines are clearly visible (appropriate longitudinal markings).
The boundary line of at least one side of the lane is detected. The driver's hands are on the steering wheel.The lane is more than 2.5 m in width.
Adaptive lane assist
Adaptive lane assist helps to keep the vehicle in the position between the boun- dary lines selected by the driver, by means of steering intervention.
If the system detects only one boundary line, it will help to maintain the selectedproximity from said boundary line.
If the proximity to the detected boundary line is changed, the system quickly
adapts and maintains the newly-selected position.
Adaptive lane assist can be activated/deactivated in the Infotainment » operating
instructions for Infotainment , chapter Vehicle settings (CAR button) .
Activating/deactivating

The system works on the basis of the data captured by the camera and is only
able to show traffic signs which are in the camera's “viewing range” » Fig. 150.
Data from the camera can be supplemented by information from the Infotainment
Navigation. This is the reason why traffic signs with maximum speeds can also be shown on sections of roads which do not have any traffic signs.
The system may not be available or may only be available to a limited extent in the following situations.
› Poor visibility conditions, e.g. fog, heavy rain, thick snowfall.
› The camera is blinded by the sun.
› The camera is blinded by the oncoming traffic.
› The camera “viewing range” is obstructed by an obstacle.
› Travelling at high speed.
› The traffic signs are fully or partially obscured (e.g. by trees, snow, dirt or other
vehicles).
› The traffic signs are not standard (round with a red border).
› The traffic signs are damaged or bent.
› The traffic signs are attached to flashing neon signs.
› The traffic signs were changed (the navigation data are out of date).
