deactivated in this mode.
A LED in the button a illuminates.
ESC and Traction Control are
reactivated automatically from
30 mph or everytime the ignition is
switched on.Standard mode 2
This mode is calibrated for a low level of wheel spin, based on the different
types of grip generally encountered in
normal day to day driving.
Everytime the ignition is switched off,
the system is automatically reset to
this mode.
Snow mode 3
This mode adapts to the grip
conditions encountered by each
wheel when starting.

optimises wheel spin to guarantee the
best acceleration based on the
available traction. Recommended in
cases of deep snow and steep
inclines.
This mode is active up to a speed of
30 mph.
Mud mode 4
This mode allows considerable wheel spin at start-up for the wheel with the
least grip, this removes mud and re-
establishes traction.Simultaneously, the wheel with the
most grip is provided with the most
torque possible.
This mode is active up to a speed of 50 mph.
Sand mode 1
This mode allows a small amount of
simultaneous wheel spin on the two
drive wheels, enabling the vehicle to

Adaptive cruise control
The adaptive cruise control is an
enhancement to the conventional
cruise control with the additional
feature of maintaining a certain
following distance to the vehicle
ahead. It uses radar and camera
sensors to detect the vehicles ahead. If no vehicle is detected in the driving
path, the adaptive cruise control will
behave like a conventional cruise
control.
The adaptive cruise control
automatically decelerates the vehicle
when approaching a slower moving
vehicle. It then adjusts the vehicle
speed to follow the vehicle ahead at
the selected following distance. The

Driving and operating171either by manual braking or by
steering. Before the active
emergency braking applies, the driver
is warned by the forward collision
alert 3 169 or the front pedestrian
protection alert 3 173.
The feature uses various inputs (e.g.
camera sensor, radar sensor, brake
pressure, vehicle speed) to calculate
the probability of a frontal collision.9 Warning
This system is not intended to
replace the driver responsibility for driving the vehicle and looking
ahead. Its function is limited to
supplemental use only to reduce
the vehicle speed before a
collision.
The system may not react to
animals. After a sudden lane
change, the system needs a
certain time to detect the next
preceding vehicle.
The driver must always be ready
to take action and apply the brakes and steer to avoid collisions.
Operation conditions
If equipped only with front camera the
active emergency braking operates in
forward gear above walking speed up to 53 mph. With radar sensor and
front camera active emergency
braking operates in forward gear in
the range between walking speed
and 87 mph.
Activation
A precondition is that forward collision
alert with front camera system is not
deactivated in the vehicle
personalisation menu and the seat
belts of the front passengers are
fastened 3 105.
Functionality The system includes: ● brake preparation system
● emergency automatic braking
● forward looking brake assist
● intelligent brake assist (only with radar sensor)
● forward collision alert
● front pedestrian protectionBrake preparation system
When approaching a vehicle ahead
or a pedestrian so quickly that a
collision is likely, the brake
preparation system slightly
pressurises the brakes. This reduces
the response time when a braking is
required.
Emergency automatic braking
After activation of brake preparation
system and just before the imminent
collision, this function automatically
applies limited braking to reduce the
impact speed of the collision or
prohibit a crash. If active emergency
braking is applied, m flashes in the
instrument cluster. Depending on the
situation, the vehicle may
automatically brake moderately or
hard. This front automatic braking can
only occur if a vehicle ahead is
detected 3 169 . On vehicles with front
pedestrian protection, front automatic braking can also occur when a
pedestrian ahead is detected 3 173.
Emergency automatic braking may slow the vehicle to a complete stop to
try to avoid a potential crash. If this

Driving and operating185Auto mode is activated by default. In
this mode, the system selects the
best view, standard, or zoom, to
display according to the information
from the parking sensors.
The state of the system is not kept in
memory when the ignition is switched
off.
Standard view
The standard view consists of a rear
view and a front view.Rear view
The area behind the vehicle is
displayed in the screen. The vertical
lines represent the width of the
vehicle with mirrors unfolded. The
direction of the lines changes with the position of the steering wheel.
The first horizontal line represents a
distance of about 30 cm beyond the
edge of vehicle's rear bumper. The
upper horizontal lines represent
distances of about 1 m and 2 m.
This view is available in auto mode or
in the view selection menu.Front view
The area in front the vehicle is
displayed in the screen. The vertical
lines represent the width of the
vehicle with mirrors unfolded. The
direction of the lines changes with the position of the steering wheel.
The first horizontal line represents a
distance of about 30 cm beyond the
edge of vehicle's front bumper. The
upper horizontal lines represent
distances of about 1 m and 2 m.
This view is available in auto mode or
in the view selection menu.
Auto mode
This mode is activated by default.
Using sensors in the rear or in the
front bumper, the automatic view
changes from rear view or front view
to a view from above, as an obstacle is approached during a manoeuvre.
Zoom view
The camera records the vehicle's
surroundings during the manoeuvre in order to reconstruct a view fromabove the rear or the front of the
vehicle in its near surroundings.Thus,
the vehicle can be manoeuvred
around obstacles nearby. This view is available with auto mode or in the
view selection menu.
