Loss of traction of the front
wheels, which can lead to
understeering.
When VSC is deactivated, driv-
ing stability is reduced during
acceleration and when driving in
curves.
To increase vehicle stability,
activate VSC again as soon as
possible.
When VSC is deactivated, VSC
OFF is displayed in the instru-
ment cluster.
Safety information
WA R N I N G
The system cannot serve as a
substitute for the driver’s personal
judgment in assessing the traffic
conditions. Based on the limits of
the system, it cannot inde-
pendently react to all traffic situa-
tions. There is a
risk of accident.
Adjust driving style to traffic condi-
tions. Watch traffic closely and
actively intervene where appropri-
ate.
WA R N I N G
When driving with a roof load, for
instance with roof-mounted lug-
gage rack, the vehicle's center of
gravity is higher, which increases
the risk of the vehicle tipping in
critical driving situations. There is
a risk of accidents or risk of dam-
age to property. Do not deactivate
VSC Vehicle Stability Control Sys-
tem when driving with roof load.

When entering a curve at an
excessively high rate of speed
In this case, even if the VSC oper-
ates, it cannot oper ate sufficiently
to avoid a possible dangerous situ-
ation. The driver is solely responsi-
ble for understanding their
surroundings and driving at a safe
speed.
Traction mode is a version of the
VSC Vehicle Stability Control
System where forward momen-
tum is optimized. The system ensures maximum
headway on special road condi-
tions or loose road surfaces, for
instance unplowed snowy
roads, but with somewhat lim-
ited driving stability.
When Traction mode is acti-
vated, the vehicle has maximum
traction. Driving stability is lim-
ited during acceleration and
when driving in curves.
You may find it useful to briefly
activate Traction mode in the
following situations:
When driving in slush or on
uncleared, snow-covered
roads.
When driving off from deep
snow or loose ground.
When driving with snow
chains.

In certain situations, the VSC is
activated automatically:
If Dynamic radar cruise con-

The vehicle has a flat tire.
The active differential step-
lessly locks the rear axle
depending on the driving condi-

power transfer in all driving con-

spin at either rear wheel.

This chapter describes all stan-
dard, country-specific and
optional features offered with
the series. It also describes fea-
tures and functions that are not
necessarily available in your
vehicle, e.g., due to the selected
options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related
functions and systems. When
using these functions and sys-
tems, the applicable laws and
regulations must be observed.
Using this system, a desired
speed can be adjusted using the
buttons on the steering wheel.
The system maintains the
desired speed. The system
accelerates and brakes auto-
matically as needed.
The system can be activated
starting at 20 mph/30 km/h.
Depending on the vehicle set-
tings, the characteristics of the
Cruise Control may change.

The use of the system can lead to
an increased risk of accidents in
the following situations, for
instance:
●On winding roads.
●In heavy traffic.
●On slippery roads, in fog, snow,
or wet conditions, or on a loose
road surface.
There is a risk of accidents or risk
of damage to property. Only use
the system if driving at constant
speed is possible.
WA R N I N G
The desired speed can be incor-
rectly adjusted or called up by
mistake. There is a risk of an acci-
dent. Adjust the desired speed to
the traffic conditions. Watch traf-
fic closely and actively intervene
where appropriate.

Press the rocker switch up or
down once while the system is
interrupted.
When the system is switched
on, the current speed is main-
tained and stored as the desired
speed.
The stored speed is displayed,
refer to page 207, on the speed-
ometer.
VSC Vehicle Stability Control
System is switched on, if neces-
sary.
The speed can also be stored
by pressing a button.Press the rocker switch up or
down repeatedly until the
desired speed is set.
If active, the displayed speed is
stored and the vehicle reaches
the stored speed when the road
is clear.
Each time the rocker switch is
pressed to the resistance
point, the desired speed
increases or decreases by 1
mph/1 km/h.
Each time the rocker switch is
pressed past the resistance
point, the desired speed
changes by a maximum of 5
mph/10 km/h.
The maximum speed that can be
set depends on the vehicle.
Pressing the rocker switch to
the resistance point and hold-
ing it accelerates or deceler-
ates the vehicle without
requiring pressure on the
accelerator pedal.

After the rocker s witch is released,
the vehicle maintains its final
speed. Pressing the switch beyond
the resistance point causes the
vehicle to accelerate more rapidly.
An interrupted cruise control can
be continued by calling up the
stored speed.
Make sure that the difference
between current speed and
stored speed is not too large
before calling up the stored
speed. Otherwise, unintentional
braking or accelerating may
occur.
Cruise control is continued with
the stored values.
In the following cases, the
stored speed value is deleted
and cannot be called up again:
When the system is switched
off.
When drive-ready state is
switched off. With the proper equipment, the
value of the selected speed is
briefly displayed digitally.
Some system information can
also be displayed in the
Head-up Display.
The desired speed is also main-
tained downhill.
The speed may not be main-
tained on uphill grades if the
engine power is insufficient.

Using this system, a desired
speed and a distance to a vehi-
cle ahead can be adjusted using
the buttons on the steering
wheel.
The system maintains the
desired speed on clear roads.
For this purpose, the vehicle
accelerates or brakes automati-
cally.
If a vehicle is driving ahead of
you, the system adjusts the
speed of your vehicle so that the
set distance to the vehicle
ahead is maintained. The speed
is adjusted as far as the given
situation allows.
A radar sensor is located in the
front bumper and a camera on
the interior mirror to detect vehi-
cles driving ahead of you.
Depending on the vehicle set-
tings, the characteristics of the
Cruise Control may change.
The distance can be adjusted in
several steps. For safety rea-
sons, it depends on the respec-
tive speed.
If the vehicle ahead of you brakes to a halt, and then pro-
ceeds to drive again within a
brief period, the system is able
to detect this within the given
system limits.

or on a down-
hill slope, turn the front wheels
in the direction of the curb.
●On uphill grades or on a down-
hill slope, also secure the vehi-
cle, for instanc e with a wheel
chock.
