x Liquids, sharp objects and insulating mate-
rials, such as a protective cover or child
seat, may damage the seat heating.
x If an odour develops, immediately switch
off the seat heating and have it checked
by a qualified workshop.
x If the original seat covers are replaced
with another material, the seat heating
can overheat or the seat heating function
may be restricted. To save energy, switch off the seat
heating as soon as possible. Steering wheel heating
Please refer to and at the start of
the chapter on page 120.
The steering wheel heating can function only
when the v

sistance when steering in some critical
driving situations. The driv
er must steer the
vehicle at all times. Counter steering assis-
tance does not steer the vehicle. Troubleshooting
Steering fault
The warning lamp lights up or flashes red.
There is a fault in the electromechanical
steering or electronic steering column lock.

x
Adapt your speed and distance from the
v ehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather,
road and traffic conditions.
x Always switch CCS off after use to avoid
unintentional speed control.
x It is dangerous to use a set speed that is
too high for the prevailing road, traffic
or weather conditions. Operating the Cruise Control
System (

Ov
ertaking
If you indicate left (left-hand traffic: indicate
right) to overtake, ACC will accelerate the ve-
hicle and reduce the distance from the vehi-
cle in front. Your set speed will not be excee-
ded.
If ACC does not detect any vehicle in front af-
ter you have changed lane, ACC will acceler-
ate the vehicle up to the set speed.
Overtaking assistance is not available in all
countries.
Stop-and-go traffic
ACC can brake the vehicle to a standstill and
keep it stationary. ACC remains active and
the instrument cluster display shows
ACC ready
to start for a few seconds.
On vehicles with Travel Assist, you can extend
this time by continuing to hold the steering
wheel.
As long as ACC remains active, the vehicle
will move off again automatically as soon as
the vehicle in front moves off (depending on
the vehicle equipment level and not available
in all countries).

Oncoming vehicle braking
when turning
Please refer to at the start of the chap-
ter on page 159. The oncoming vehicle braking when
turning function can pre
vent the vehicle
from colliding with an oncoming vehicle
during a turn.
If there is a risk of the vehicle colliding with
an oncoming vehicle in the adjacent lane
when turning, the oncoming vehicle braking
when turning function can brake your vehicle.
The vehicle can then remain in its own lane
as a result.
Speed range
The oncoming vehicle braking when turning
function is available up to around 15 km/h
(around 9 mph).
Limits
The oncoming vehicle braking when turning
function is available only if you indicate, have
turned the steering wheel and have therefore
started the turning manoeuvre. After chang-
ing from right-hand traffic to left-hand traf-
fic or vice versa, the oncoming vehicle brak-
ing when turning function is available only
after a certain time (30 minutes or more).
The oncoming vehicle braking when turning
function does not react to persons, animals,
crossing vehicles or objects that are not de-
tected as a vehicle. Always also observe the
fundamental limits of Front Assist

or the full concen-
tration of the driver.
x Adapt your speed and distance from the
vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather,
road and traffic conditions.
x Your hands should always be on the
steering wheel so that you can steer at
any time.
x Observe the displays in the exterior mir-
ror housings and on the instrument clus-
ter display and act in accordance with
the requests.
x Always pay attention to what is happen-
ing around the vehicle.
x Never use the lane change system if the
radar sensors are dirty, covered or dam-
aged. These circumstances can impair
the proper functioning of the system.
x It may be hard to see the display in the
wing mirror in direct sunlight. The radar sensors calibrate themselves
once in the first f
ew kilometres after
vehicle delivery and if the sensors are re-
paired. The sensor range may be limited dur-
ing the calibration phase. Driving with the lane change
system
Please refer to at the start of the chap-
ter on page 172. Fig. 113

Switching on and off
You can switch the lane change system on
and off in the Assist systems menu of the In-
fotainment system. When the lane change
system is switched on, the yellow indicator
lamp in the exterior mirror housing lights
up once briefly.
This most recent system setting is retained
e

ven after the ignition has been switched off
and on.
Function
When switched on, the lane change system is
active from a speed of around 15 km/h
(9 mph). The lane change system is deactiva-
ted at a vehicle speed below 10 km/h
(6 mph).
In the following driving situations, the yellow
indicator lamp lights up in the housing of
