Driving Tips
Only drive on roads and terrain that are appropriate to the vehicle parameters
» page 175 , Technical data .
The driver is always responsible for deciding whether the vehicle can cope
with the conditions and the terrain.
When travelling off paved roads, we recommend activating the OFF ROAD
mode » page 112 .
WARNING■
Adjust the speed and driving style to the current visibility, weather, road
and traffic conditions. Too high a speed or an erroneous manoeuvre may
cause serious injury and damage to the vehicle.■
Combustible objects such as dry leaves or twigs caught under the base of
the vehicle could ignite on hot vehicle parts - risk of fire!
CAUTION
■ Pay attention to the ground clearance of the vehicle! When driving over ob-
jects which are larger than the ground clearance, the vehicle can get damaged.■
Any objects that get trapped under the vehicle floor must be removed as
soon as possible. These items can cause damage to the vehicle (e.g. to parts of
the fuel or brake system).
Driving through waterFig. 130
Maximum permissible water lev-
el when driving through water
The following must be observed to avoid damage to the vehicle when driving
through bodies of water (e.g. flooded roads).
›
Therefore determine the depth of the water before driving through bodies of
water. The water level must not go above the web of the lower beam
» Fig. 130 .
›
Drive at no more than walking pace, otherwise a wave may form in front of
the vehicle, which could cause the water to enter into the vehicle’s systems
(e.g. the air intake system for the engine).
›
Never stop in the water, do not reverse and do not switch the engine off.
CAUTION
■ If water gets into the vehicle’s systems (e.g. the air intake system for the en-
gine) it can cause serious damage to the vehicle!■
Oncoming vehicles can generate water waves which can exceed the permis-
sible water level for your vehicle.
■
Do not drive through salt water, as the salt can cause corrosion. An vehicle
coming into contact with salt water is to be thoroughly rinsed with fresh wa-
ter.

Cruise Control System
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Operation
121
Operation description
122The Cruise Control System (CCS) maintains a set speed without you having to
actuate the accelerator pedal. The state where the CCS maintains the speed is
referred to hereinafter as the control.WARNINGThe general information relating to the use of assistance systems must be
observed » page 110, in section General information .
Operation
Read and observe
on page 121 first.
Basic requirements for start of control The CCS is activated.
On vehicles with a manual transmission , the second gear or higher is en-
gaged.
On vehicles with an automatic transmission , the selector lever is in the
D/S position or in the Tiptronic position.
The current speed is higher than 20 km/h.
This, however, is only possible to the extent permitted by the engine output
and braking power of the vehicle.
WARNINGIf the engine output or engine braking effect is insufficient to maintain the
set speed, the driver must assume control of the accelerator and brake
pedals!121Assist systems

/ Increase speedCLaunch control / reduce speeda)
If no speed is set the current speed is adopted.
Once the controls are activated, the CCS maintains the vehicle at the set
speed; the warning light lights up in the instrument cluster.
After the interruption in control, the stored speed can be resumed by pressing
the
B
button.
Controls are automatically interrupted if any of the following occur.
▶ By pressing the brake or clutch pedal.
▶ 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 the sys-
tem being switched on unintentionally.■
Control may only be resumed if the set speed is not too high for the cur-
rent traffic conditions.
NoteDuring 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.
Fatigue detection
The fatigue detection system (hereinafter referred to as system) recommends
the driver takes a break from driving when driver fatigue can be detected due
to the driver's steering behaviour.
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.
The system can be activated / deactivated in MAXI DOT display » page 43.
Pause recommendation
The icon appears and the following message for a few seconds in the display
of the instrument cluster and a message about the detected fatigue. An au-
dible signal is also emitted.
WARNING■ The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 110, in section General information .■
For the driving ability is always the driver's responsibility. Never drive if
you feel tired.
■
The system may not detect all cases where a break is needed.
■
Therefore, take regular, sufficient breaks during long trips.
■
There will be no system warning during the so-called micro-sleep.
