Driving and operating157Stop-start system
The stop-start system helps to save
fuel and to reduce the exhaust
emissions. When conditions allow, it
switches off the engine as soon as the vehicle is at a low speed or at a
standstill, e.g. at a traffic light or in a
traffic jam. It starts the engine
automatically as soon as the clutch is
depressed. A battery sensor ensures
that an Autostop is only performed if
the vehicle battery is sufficiently
charged for a restart.
Activation The stop-start system is available assoon as the engine is started, the
vehicle starts-off and the conditions
as stated below in this section are
fulfilled.Deactivation
Deactivate the stop-start system
manually by pressing eco. The
deactivation is indicated when the
LED in the button extinguishes.
Autostop
If the vehicle is at a low speed or at a standstill, activate an Autostop as
follows:
â– Depress the clutch pedal.
â– Set the lever to neutral.
â– Release the clutch pedal.
The engine will be switched off while
the ignition stays on.
An Autostop is indicated by the
needle at the AUTOSTOP position in
the tachometer. On some versions a
control indicator in the instrument
cluster lights up when engine is in Autostop.
During an Autostop, the heating and
brake performance will be
maintained.

â– Antilock Brake System (ABS) withcornering brake control (CBC)
â– Automatic transmission
SPORT mode
The settings of the systems are
adapted to a sportier driving style:
â– Damping of shock absorbers reacts
more stiffly to provide better contact with the road surface.
â– The engine reacts more quickly to the accelerator pedal.
â– Steering support is reduced.
â– Engine torque of All-wheel drive is distributed more to the rear axle.
â– Shift points of automatictransmission occur later.
â– Depending on the instrument cluster the colouring of the display
will be adapted.
TOUR mode
The settings of the systems are
adapted to a comfort driving style:
â– Damping of shock absorbers reacts
more softly.
â– Accelerator pedal reacts with standard settings.
â– Steering support is in standard mode.
â– Engine torque of All-wheel drive isdistributed mainly to the front axle.
â– Shift points of automatic transmission occur in a comfort
mode.
NORMAL mode
All settings of the systems are
adapted to standard values.
Drive mode control
Within each manually selected driving mode SPORT, TOUR or NORMAL,
the Drive Mode Control (DMC)
detects and analyses continuously
the real driving characteristic,
responses by the driver, and the
active dynamic state of the vehicle. If
necessary, the control unit of DMC
automatically changes the settings
within the selected driving mode or,
when recognising greater variations,
the driving mode is changed for the
length of variation.
If, for example, NORMAL mode is
selected and DMC detects a sporty
driving behaviour, DMC changes
several settings of the Normal mode

systems9 Warning
Driver assistance systems are
developed to support the driver
and not to replace the driver's
attention.
The driver accepts full
responsibility when driving the
vehicle.
When using driver assistance
systems, always take care
regarding the current traffic
situation.
Cruise control
The cruise control can store and
maintain speeds of approx. 20 to
120 mph. Deviations from the stored
speeds may occur when driving uphill or downhill.
For safety reasons, the cruise controlcannot be activated until the foot
brake has been operated once.
Activating in first gear is not possible.
Do not use the cruise control if it is not advisable to maintain a constant
speed.
With automatic transmission, only
activate cruise control in automatic
mode.
Control indicator m 3 110.
Switching on Press m; control indicator m in
instrument cluster illuminates white.

Activation
Accelerate to the desired speed and
turn thumb wheel to SET/-: the
current speed is stored and
maintained. Control indicator m in
instrument cluster illuminates green.
Set speed is indicated on midlevel or
uplevel display near m symbol.
Accelerator pedal can be released.
Vehicle speed can be increased by depressing the accelerator pedal.
When the accelerator pedal is
released, the previously stored speed
is resumed.
Cruise control remains activated
while gearshifting.
Increase speed
With cruise control active, hold thumb
wheel turned to RES/+ or briefly turn
to RES/+ repeatedly: speed
increases continuously or in small
increments.
Alternatively accelerate to the desired speed and store by turning to SET/-.
Reduce speed
With cruise control active, hold thumb wheel turned to SET/- or briefly turn to
SET/- repeatedly: speed decreases
continuously or in small increments.
Deactivation
Press y; control indicator m in
instrument cluster illuminates white.
Cruise control is deactivated. Last
stored speed remains in memory for
later speed resume.
Automatic deactivation: â– Vehicle speed is below approx. 20 mph.
â– Vehicle speed is above approx. 125 mph.
â– The brake pedal is depressed.â– The clutch pedal is depressed for a
few seconds.
â– The selector lever is in N.
â– The engine speed is in a very low range.
â– The Traction Control system or Electronic Stability Control is
operating.
â– The forward collision alert has been
triggered.
Resume stored speed
Turn thumb wheel to RES/+ at a
speed above 20 mph. The stored
speed will be obtained.
Switching off Press m; control indicator m in
instrument cluster extinguishes. The
stored speed is deleted.
Pressing L for activating speed
limiter or switching off the ignition also switches off cruise control and
deletes the stored speed.
Page 181 of 331

Driving and operating179Speed limiterThe speed limiter prevents the
vehicle exceeding a preset maximum
speed.
The maximum speed can be set at a
speed above 15 mph.
The driver can only accelerate up to
the preset speed. Deviations from the
limited speed may occur when driving downhill.
The preset speed limit is displayed in
the Driver Information Centre when
the system is active.
ActivationPress L. The control indicator L in
the instrument cluster illuminates
white. If cruise control or adaptive
cruise control has been activated
before, it is switched off when speed
limiter is activated and control
indicator m extinguishes.
Set speed limit
With speed limiter active, hold thumb
wheel turned to RES/+ or briefly turn
to RES/+ repeatedly until the desired
maximum speed is displayed in the
Driver Information Centre.
Alternatively, accelerate to the
desired speed and briefly turn thumb
wheel to SET/-: the current speed is
stored as maximum speed. Speed
limit is displayed in the Driver
Information Centre.
Control indicator L in the instrument
cluster illuminates green.
If the vehicle is equipped with Uplevel
display and Sport mode is selected
3 111, the scale of the speedometer
is only indicated up to the set speed
limit. The speed limiter setting is
marked by a green dot, it changes to
white when the system is active but not engaged.
Change speed limit With speed limiter active, turn thumb
wheel to RES/+ to increase or SET/-
to decrease the desired maximum speed.
Exceeding the speed limit
In the event of an emergency, it is possible to exceed the speed limit by
depressing the accelerator pedal
firmly beyond the point of resistance.
The limited speed will flash in the
Driver Information Centre and a
chime sounds during this period.
Release the accelerator pedal and the speed limiter function is
reactivated once a speed lower than
the limit speed is obtained.

Driving and operating1819Warning
The complete driver attention is
always required while driving with adaptive cruise control. The driver stays fully in control of the vehicle
because the brake pedal, the
accelerator pedal and the cancel
switch have priority over any
adaptive cruise control operation.
Switching on
Press C to switch on adaptive cruise
control. The control indicator m or C
in the instrument cluster illuminates white.
Activation by setting the speed Adaptive cruise control can be
activated between 15 mph and
112 mph.
Accelerate to the desired speed and
turn thumb wheel to SET/-, the
current speed is stored and
maintained. Control indicator m or
C in the instrument cluster
illuminates green.
The adaptive cruise control symbol,
the following distance setting and set speed are indicated in the Driver
Information Centre.
The accelerator pedal can be
released. Adaptive cruise control
remains activated while gearshifting.
Overriding set speed It is always possible to drive faster
than the selected set speed by
depressing the accelerator pedal.
When the accelerator pedal is
released, the vehicle returns to the
desired distance if a slower vehicle is
ahead. Otherwise it returns to the
stored speed.
Once the system is activated,
adaptive cruise control decelerates or
brakes if it detects a vehicle ahead,
which is slower or closer than the
desired following distance.9 Warning
Accelerating by the driver
deactivates automatic braking by
the system. This is indicated as a
pop-up warning in the Driver
Information Centre.
