Some warning lights can be accompanied by acoustic signals and messages in
the display of the instrument cluster.
After switching on the ignition, some warning lights light up briefly as a func-
tion test.
If the tested systems are OK, the corresponding warning lights go out a few
seconds after switching on the ignition or after starting the engine.
The condition of some features and systems is shown by the warning icons on
the display » page 40.

Ignoring illuminated warning lights and related messages or instructions
in the display of the instrument cluster may lead to serious personal injury
or damage to the vehicle.■
If you have to stop for technical reasons, then park the vehicle at a safe
distance from the traffic, switch off the engine and activate the hazard
warning light system » page 77. The warning triangle must be set up at
the prescribed distance - observe the national legal provisions when doing
so.
■
The engine compartment of your car is a hazardous area. While working in
the engine compartment, be sure to observe the following warn-
ings » page 192 , Engine compartment .

Seat belt warning lightRead and observe
on page 34 first.
The warning light
illuminates as a reminder for the driver and front passen-
ger to fasten seat belts.
The indicator light
goes off after the respective seat belt is fastened.
If the driver or front passenger has not fastened their seat belt and the vehicle
speed is more than 30 km/h, the warning light
flashes and you will hear an
acoustic signal.
If the seat belt is not fastened by the driver or front passenger during the next
approx. 2 seconds, the warning signal is deactivated and the warning light
lights up permanently .
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Read and observe
on page 34 first.
If the warning light
lights up , the delay of the ACC is not sufficient.
The following message is shown in the information cluster display. Apply the brake!
Further information » page 149, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) .
Central warning light
Read and observe
on page 34 first.
When the warning light or
lights up , the additional information in the dis-
play of the instrument cluster » page 40, Warning icons in the display
or » page 47 , Auto-check control must be observed.
Power steering/steering lock (KESSY system)
Read and observe
on page 34 first.
Power steering
If the indicator light
illuminates , this indicates a complete failure of the
power steering and the steering assist has failed (significantly higher steering
forces). Seek assistance from a specialist garage immediately.
If the indicator light illuminates , this indicates a partial failure of the power
steering and the steering forces can be greater. Seek assistance from a spe-
cialist garage immediately.
Steering lock (KESSY system)
As long as the warning light
is flashing , the steering lock cannot be re-
leased.
The following message is shown in the information cluster display. Move the steering wheel!
MOVE STEERING WHEEL
› Move the steering wheel slightly back and forth, thereby facilitating unlock-
ing the steering lock.
If the steering does also not unlock then, the help of a specialist garage is re-
quired.
If the warning light
flashes and a beep sounds, the electric steering lock is
faulty.
The following message is shown in the information cluster display. Steering lock: Workshop!
STEERING WORKSHOP
Seek assistance from a specialist garage immediately.
If the warning light
flashes and a beep sounds, the electric steering lock is
faulty.
The following message is shown in the information cluster display. Steering lock faulty. Stop!
STOP VEHICLE STEERING FAULTY
Park the vehicle,
stop driving . After switching off the ignition, it is then no
longer possible to lock the steering, to activate the electrical components (e.g.
radio, navigation system), to switch on the ignition again and to start the en-
gine. Seek help from a specialist garage.
Note
If the vehicle's battery has been disconnected and reconnected, the warning
light comes on after switching on the ignition. The warning light should go
out after driving a short distance. If warning light
does not go out once the
engine has been restarted and the vehicle has been driven for a short period
of time, this indicates a system error. Seek assistance from a specialist garage
immediately.36Using the system

Cruise Control System
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Functioning
148
Operating Description
149
The Cruise Control System (CCS) maintains a set speed without you having to
actuate the accelerator pedal.
The state where the GRA maintains the speed is referred to hereinafter as the
control .
WARNING■
The GRA only serves to support and does not relieve the driver of the re-
sponsibility for the vehicle operation.■
Always adjust the speed and driving style to the current visibility, weath-
er, road and traffic conditions.
■
After pressing the clutch pedal, no interrupted control occurs! For exam-
ple, if a different gear is engaged and the clutch pedal is released, control is
continued.

Basic requirements for start of control The GRA is activated.
On vehicles with manual transmission , second gear or higher is engaged.
On vehicles with automatic transmission , the selector lever is in the D/S
position or in the Tiptronic position.
The current speed is higher than approx. 20 km/h.

This is only possible within the range which is permitted by the power output
and braking power of the engine.WARNINGIf the engine power or engine braking effect is insufficient to maintain the
set speed, the driver must take control of vehicle operation.

If no speed is set, the current speed is used.
At the start of the control process, the CCS regulates the vehicle to the current
speed, and this speed is shown on the instrument cluster display. The warning
light illuminates in the instrument cluster.
Automatic control interruption
Automatic control interruption occurs if any of the following conditions are
met.
› The brake pedal is operated.
› When one of the brake assist systems (e.g. ESC) intervenes.
› Through an airbag deployment.
WARNING■
Always deactivate the cruise control system after use to prevent uninten-
tional switching on of the system.■
Control may only be resumed if the set speed is not too high for the cur-
rent traffic conditions.
Note
During control, speed can be increased by pressing the accelerator pedal. Re-
leasing the accelerator pedal will cause the speed to drop again to the set
speed.

Adaptive cruise control (from here on referred to only as ACC) can maintain the
set speed or the proximity to the vehicle ahead consistently, without the need
to operate the gas or brake pedals.
The state in which the ACC maintains the speed or the proximity is described
as control from here on.
149Assist systems
Page 155 of 280
Automatic stop-startRead and observe
and on page 150 first.
Vehicles with an automatic transmission can decelerate to a standstill and
start moving again using the ACC.
Decelerate to a standstill
If a vehicle ahead decelerates to a standstill, the ACC will also decelerate your
vehicle to a standstill.
Starting to drive again after a holding period
As soon as the vehicle ahead starts moving again after a holding period, your
vehicle will also move and the speed will continue to be regulated. Control is
automatically disconnected in case of longer holding periods.
Depress the brake pedal.
