Safety information
WARNING
An unsecured vehicle can begin
to move and possibly roll away.
There is a risk of an accident.
Before exiting, secure the vehicle
against rolling.
In order to ensure that the vehicle
is secured against rolling away,
follow the following:
●Set the parking brake.
●On uphill grades 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 instance with a wheel
chock.

cluster.
The shift paddles on the steer-

gears quickly while keeping both
hands on the steering wheel.
■Shifting
The vehicle only shifts at suit-
able engine and road speeds.
■Short-term manual mode
In selector lever position D,
actuating a shift paddle switches
into manual mode temporarily.
After conservative driving in
manual mode without accelera-
tion or shifting via the shift pad-
dles for a certain amount of
time, the transmission switches
back to automatic mode. It is possible to switch into auto-
matic mode as follows:

Pull and hold right shift pad-
dle.
 In addition to the briefly pulled
right shift paddle, briefly pull
the left shift paddle.
■Continuous manual mode
In selector lever position M,
actuating a shift paddle switches
into manual mode permanently.
 Shifting up: pull the right shift
paddle.
 Shifting down: pull left shift
paddle.
 Downshifting to the lowest
possible gear: keep the left
shift paddle pulled.
The selected gear is briefly dis-
played in the instrument cluster,

used, the transmission must
cool down for approx. 5 minutes
before Launch Control can be
used again. Launch Control
adjusts to the surrounding con-
ditions, when used again.
To increase vehicle stability,
activate VSC Vehicle Stability
Control System again as soon
as possible.
An experienced driver may be
able to achieve better accelera-
tion values in VSC OFF mode.

range, the fuel supply is reduced
to protect the engine.
Depending on the vehicle equip-

indicates the maximum shift
point at which the best possible
acceleration can be achieved.
Depending on the equipment
and nationalmarket version, the
Shift lights are active in the sport

If a prewarning is provided,
respond by braking as war-
ranted.
An acute warning is displayed in
case of the imminent danger of
a collision when the vehicle
approaches another object at a
high differential speed.
Intervene in the case of an
acute warning. Depending on
the driving situation and the
equipment version, the acute
warning may be accompanied
by a brief activation of the brak-
ing system.
With the warning time setting
"late" the brief activation of the
braking system is omitted.
If an acute warning is provided,
the system may also provide
assistance, such as through
braking, when there is risk of
collision.
Acute warnings may be pro-
vided even when there has been
no prior warning.
The warning prompts the driver
to intervene. When the brake
pedal is pressed quickly and
hard, the maximum braking
force of the vehicle is used.
The system may also assist in braking if there is a risk of colli-
sion.
When the vehicle is traveling at
a low speed, the vehicle may
come to a complete stop.
Manual transmission: during a
brake intervention up to a com-
plete stop, the engine may be
shut down.
City brake function: the braking
intervention occurs to up to
approx. 53 mph/85 km/h.
With radar sensor: the braking
intervention occurs to up to
approx. 155 mph/250 km/h.
At speeds above approx. 130
mph/210 km/h, the braking inter-
vention occurs as a brief braking
pressure. No automatic delay
occurs.
The driver may interrupt the
braking intervention function by
stepping on the accelerator
pedal or by actively moving the
steering wheel.
The system’s ability to detect
objects may be limited in some
circumstances. Refer to the
information in this Owner’s Man-
ual regarding the limitations of
the system and actively inter-
vene as warranted.

The shorter the distance to the
object, the shorter the intervals.
If the distance to a detected
object is less than approx. 8
in/20 cm, a continuous tone is
sounded.
If there are objects in front of
and behind the vehicle at the
same time, with a distance
smaller than approx. 8 in/20 cm,
an alternating constant tone will
sound.
Automatic transmission: the
intermittent tone and constant
tone are switched off if the

The intermittent tone is switched
off after a short time when the
vehicle is stationary.
If an object approaches when
the vehicle is stationary, the
acoustic signal is reactivated.
