When the hig hes t lev el is  reached,  the  distance re

The distance  level  can also  be set  usi ng  the Q or

mediately after the (1) button on the  mult ifunction

The~ button and the G and (Dnver ass1stance ) 
function buttons in the  infotainment  system  can be 
used to set  the dista nce  level  that should be selec

Setting the driving programme 
In vehicles with Driving Mode Selection , the selec
t~d driving mode  can affect  the vehicle 's accelera
tion response ~page 248. 
The following driving  modes  can be selected : 
• Normal 
• Sport 
• Eco 
In v h'  . e lcles Without  Driving Mode Selection , the ac-
Celeration response  can be affected by the  driving 
rnode s I IT.Dl ~a e ected by pressing  the ~ butto.n and _ the 
I . nd @nver assistance ) function buttons 1n the 1nfoa1nrne t n system ~page 31 . 
The following conditions can prevent the 
adaptive cruise control from reacting: 
• If the  the acce le rator  is depressed. 
• If no  g ear is selected . 
• If the ESC is  taking  corre ctive action . 
• If the driv er h as  no t f astened seat belt. 
• If there  is  a  fau lt in seve ral  brake  lights on the 
v e hicle  or  on  a traile r with  an electrical 
connection 
to the  vehic le . 
•  If the  vehicle  is reve rsing . 
• If the vehicle  is travelling  faster than approxi 
mately 160 km/h (100 mph). 
A WARNING 
If you close the gap to a vehicle in front and 
the difference in speed between the two vehi
cles is so great that the braking action of the 
ACC is insufficient, you are in danger of col
liding with the vehicle in front. You should re
duce the vehicle speed immediately with the 
foot brake. 
• The ACC may not be able to recognise all 
driving situations correctly. 
• Leaving your foot on the accelerator will 
mean that the ACC will not brake automatical
ly. This is because manual acceleration over
rides the system. 
• You should always be prepared to brake 
the vehicle yourself. 
• Observe country-specific regulations re
garding the minimum distance. 
rn 
The  set speed  will  be  deleted if the  ig nition or 
the ACC is  switched  off. 
rn 
The ACC is automatically deactivated when 
the  tract ion control system (T CS ) is deactiva-
ted . 
rn 
In vehicles  with a start/stop  system, the e n 
g ine  is switched  off automatical ly during the 
stat ionary  phase of ACC and is then  restarted  for 
moving off.

Stationary phase (only vehicles with 
autornatic gearbox) 
If the adap tive  cruise  control has decele ra t  d the 
vehicle to a standstill,  the adapt.ive cruise contr o l 
will not be switched off automatically wh en  the 
brake pedal  is depressed . 
The electronic parking brake will be activated auto4 
matically and  the adap tive cruise control will be 
switched off  if one of the following situations  occurs 
while the vehicle is stationary: 
• The safety be lt is  unfastened . 
• The driver's door is opened. 
• The ignition  is switched off. 
• The stationary  phase lasts longer than approxi4 
mately 3 minutes . 
Driving off after a stationary phase (only 
vehicles with automatic gearbox) 
After a stationary  phase, the  adaptive  cruise con
trol can start the vehicle  moving automatically as 
soon as the vehicle  in front  begins  to move again. 
Overtaking 
If the turn signal  is activated when starting  an over
taking manoeuvre , the  adaptive  cruise control ac
celerates the  vehicle automatically and  thus re
duces the  distance to the  vehicle  in front. 
If you move  your vehicle  into the overtaking  lane 
and there is no  vehicle ahead of you , the ACC will 
automatically increase  the speed  to your set level 
and maintain  it. 
Acceleration  can be stopped  at any  point 
by de
Pressing the brake  pedal or pressing  the @ button 
on the multifunction  steering wheel ~page 229. 
When driving through bends 
While  dr iving  through  bends, the  radar  sensor may 
sometimes  lose the ve hicle travelling ahead or 
rnay r eac t to  a ve hicle  in the  next  lane 
; Fig. 169  A. In such  situations,  the vehicle might 
. 
ecel e rate  unnec essarily or not react  to the  veh icle 
In front. In this  case  the driver must override  the 
Abcc by depressing  the accelerator, or interrupt  the rak· lng procedure by depressing  the brake  peda l
