Driving and operating179The speed limiter is deactivated, but

speed remains in memory for later
speed resume.
Resume limit speed
Press the button to return to the
stored speed limit.
Switching off the system
Turn to 0 to switch off the system.
Fault
In the event of a speed limiter fault, the speed is cleared resulting in
flashing of the dashes.
The speed limiter may not operate
correctly if traffic signs do not comply with the Vienna Convention on Road
Signs and Signals.
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 a camera at the top of
the windscreen and a radar sensor in
the front bumper 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
vehicle speed increases or decreases
to follow the vehicle ahead, but will
not exceed the set speed. It may
apply limited braking with activated
brake lights.
If the vehicle ahead accelerates or changes lane, the adaptive cruise
control progressively accelerates the
vehicle to return to the stored set
speed. If the driver operates the turn

180Driving and operatinglights to overtake a slower vehicle, theadaptive cruise control allows the
vehicle to temporarily approach the
vehicle ahead to help passing it.
However, the set speed will never be
exceeded.
If the vehicle ahead is moving too
slowly and the selected following
distance cannot be maintained
anymore, a warning chime is given
and a message is displayed in the
Driver Information Centre. The
message prompts the driver to take
back control of the vehicle. On
vehicles with automatic transmission,
the system can brake the vehicle until a full stop.
The adaptive cruise control can store
set speeds over 25 mph and 93 mph.
Additionally at least the third gear
must be engaged on manual
transmission, on automatic
transmission position D / A or the
second or a higher gear in position M must be selected.9 Warning
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 and the accelerator pedal have priority
over any adaptive cruise control operation.
Switching on the system
The adaptive cruise control can be
switched on manually at a speed
between 25 mph and 93 mph.
A precondition is that adaptive cruise
control is not deactivated in the
vehicle personalisation menu 3 123.Turn to Cruise, the symbol Q and a
message are displayed in the Driver Information Centre. The system is still not active.

186Driving and operatingthe driving path or not. Adaptive
cruise control may not be able to
brake the vehicle in time to avoid a
collision with a much slower vehicle or after a lane change. This is
particularly true while driving fast or if
the visibility is reduced due to weather
conditions.
While entering or exiting a motorway, adaptive cruise control may lose the
vehicle ahead and accelerate up to
the set speed. For this reason,
decrease the set speed before the
exit or before the entry.
Vehicle path changes
If another vehicle enters your driving
path, adaptive cruise control will first
consider the vehicle when it is
completely in your path. Be ready to
take action and depress the brake
pedal, if you need to brake more
quickly.
Hill considerations9 Warning
Do not use the adaptive cruise
control on steep hill roads.
System performance on hills depends
on vehicle speed, vehicle load, traffic
conditions and the road gradient. It
may not detect a vehicle in your path
while driving on hills. On steep hills,
you may have to use the accelerator
pedal to maintain your vehicle speed.
When going downhill you may have to brake to maintain or reduce your
speed.
Note that applying the brake
deactivates the system.
Fault
In the event of a fault with the adaptive
cruise control, a warning light is
illuminated and a message is
displayed in the instrument cluster,
accompanied by a warning chime.
The adaptive cruise control may not
operate correctly if traffic signs do not comply with the Vienna Convention
on Road Signs and Signals.
Have the system checked by a dealer
or a qualified workshop.
As a safety measure, do not use the
system if the brake lights are faulty.
Forward collision alert
The forward collision alert may help to avoid or reduce the harm caused by
front-end crashes.
The forward collision alert uses the
front camera in the windscreen and a radar sensor in the front bumper to
detect a preceding vehicle directly
ahead, in your path.

198Driving and operatingRear side view / 180° view
The 180° view facilitates reversing
out of a parking bay, making it
possible to see the approach of
