When the ignition has been switched off and
the driver door is opened, acoustic warnings
will sound under the following conditions:

WARNING
Closing the sun blind without the roll-back
function can cause serious injuries.
x Always close the sun blind carefully.
x Ensure that nobody obstructs the path
of the sun blind, especially if the roll-
back function is not activ
e when it is
closed.
x The roll-back function does not prevent
fingers or other body parts from being
pressed against the roof frame and sus-
taining injury. Introduction to the topic
The Climatronic is an automatic air condi-
tioning system that heats, cools and dehu-
midifies the air. Automatic mode enables the
Climatronic to control the air temperature, air
distribution and air v

olume automatically.
The air conditioning system will work most
effectively if the vehicle interior is kept
closed. Opening the windows and glass roof
to provide fresh air may accelerate cooling
down the vehicle if high temperatures have
built up in the vehicle interior.
Display of active functions
Illuminated symbols on the sensor buttons
indicate that the function is switched on.
Colour-coded function buttons display an ac-
tivated function in the climate settings on
the Infotainment system.
Operating the air conditioning system with
voice commands
Depending on the vehicle equipment, some
functions of the air conditioning system can
be operated with the voice control function

WARNING
Poor visibility through the door windows,
windscreen and rear window increases the
risk of collisions and accidents which can
cause serious injuries.
x Keep all door windows, the windscreen
and the rear window free from ice, snow
and condensation to maintain perf
ect
visibility.
x Adjust the heating, air conditioning and
rear window heating to prevent conden-
sation from forming on the windows.
x Only set off once all windows are clear.
x Use air recirculation mode for a short
period only. Condensation could other-
wise form very quickly on the windows,
greatly reducing visibility.
x Switch off the air recirculation mode
when it is no longer required. NOTICE
Food, medicine and other items that are sen-
sitiv
e to heat or cold could be either dam-
aged or rendered useless by the air flowing
out of the vents.
x Never leave food, medicines or other tem-
perature-sensitive objects in front of the
vents. NOTICE
If the air conditioning system is not working,
switch the air conditioning system off imme-
diately and ha

ve it checked by a qualified
workshop. This can help to prevent secondary
damage. Overview of functions
Please refer to and at the start of
the chapter on page 120.
Some functions of the air conditioning sys-
tem and menus in the Inf

otainment system as well as an air conditioning block for the
rear seats depend on the equipment le

vel.
In the Infotainment system Open the air conditioning settings in
the Infotainment system.
In the Infotainment system: upper screen
edge
Switch the air conditioning system on
and off.
In the Infotainment system: lower screen
edge Select temperature. Depending on the
equipment level, you can set the tem-
perature directly in the Infotainment
system or use the touch sliders be-
neath the Infotainment system. The
selected temperatures are displayed
at the bottom of the screen in the In-
fotainment system.
The temperatures set for the rear row
of seats are shown on the displays for
the air conditioning block for the rear
seats. Adopt temperature settings of driver
side f
or all seats. Switch the seat heating on and off

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.

Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC)
Introduction to the topic
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) main-
tains a constant speed that you ha
ve set.
If the vehicle approaches a vehicle in
front, the ACC automatically adapts the
speed so that a distance you have selec-
ted is maintained.
Does the vehicle have ACC?
The vehicle is equipped with ACC if you can
adjust settings for ACC in the Assist systems
menu in the Infotainment system.
Speed range
You can set the speed between 20 km/h
(15 mph) and the maximum speed.
Driving with ACC
You can override the active ACC system at
any time. Cruise control will be stopped if you
brake. If you accelerate, cruise control will be
interrupted while you are accelerating and
then resumed.
The intervention by the ACC system is less
dynamic when towing a trailer.
Driver intervention prompt
If automatic deceleration by the ACC
system is not sufficient or the system
limits have been reached, the ACC
system will request you to also brake
by a corresponding message on the
instrument cluster. In addition, the
red warning lamp lights up and an
acoustic warning is given. Take over
control of the vehicle and be prepared
to brake.
Radar sensor
ACC detects driving situations using a radar
sensor at the front of the vehicle. The range of the radar sensor is up to approximately
160 m (

around 520 ft). Special driving situations
Please refer to at the start of the chap-
ter on page 151.
Predictiv

e cruise control system
If the vehicle is equipped with the Dynamic
Road Sign Display function and an Infotain-
ment system with navigation, ACC can pre-
dictively adapt the vehicle speed to detected
speed limits and the course of the road ahead

Advance warning
The system detects a possible colli-
sion and prepares the vehicle for pos-
sible emergency braking.
An acoustic warning sounds and the red
warning lamp lights up. Brake or take avoid-
ing action.
Urgent warning
If the driver does not react to the advance
warning, the system may initiate a short
braking jolt in order to draw attention to the
increasing collision risk. Brake or take avoid-
ing action.
Automatic braking
If the driver also does not react to the urgent
warning, the vehicle can be braked automati- cally with braking force that increases in sev-
eral stages. The reduced speed means that it
is possible to minimise the consequences of
an accident.
Braking interv
ention
If the system detects that the driver is brak-
ing insufficiently when there is a risk of colli-
sion, the system can increase the braking
force and help prevent a collision. The brak-
ing intervention takes place only for as long
as the brake pedal is pressed hard.
Distance warning
The system detects when safety
is endangered by driving too
close to the vehicle in front. The indi-
cator lamp lights up. Increase the dis-
tance.
Speed range: around 65 km/h (around
40 mph) to around 250 km/h (around
155 mph). Area monitoring system 161

The yellow indicator lamp flashes if a pos-
sible critical situation is detected when you
indicate in the direction of the detected v
ehi-
cle.
The faster another vehicle approaches, the
earlier there is a corresponding display in the
exterior mirror.
Lane change system “Side Assist Plus”
If the vehicle is equipped with a lane keeping
system (Lane Assist) and the system is
switched on, the driver is warned by a correc-
tive steering intervention when changing
lanes during a possible critical situation (in-
formation level, warning level). The steering
intervention also occurs when the turn signal
is activated for the corresponding direction. If
the steering intervention is overridden by the
driver, the steering wheel vibrates to give an
additional warning. For this, steering wheel
vibration must be activated in the Assist sys-
tems menu in the Infotainment system.
Automatic deactivation
The lane change system will switch off auto-
matically if the radar sensors are permanent-
ly covered. This can be caused by a layer of
ice or snow in front of the radar sensor, for
example.
A text message will be shown on the instru-
ment cluster display.
If you use the factory-fitted trailer towing
coupling and have set up the necessary elec-
trical connection, the lane change system
switches off automatically. After you have
disconnected the electrical connection, the
lane change system is switched back on au-
tomatically.
If the trailer towing coupling is not factory-
fitted, you must manually switch off the lane
change system and then switch it back on
again.
Brightness
The brightness of the visual display will
change automatically depending on the am-
bient light levels. You can adjust the basic brightness of the
display in the Assist systems menu in the In-
f
otainment system. The lane change system
is not active during the setting procedure. Troubleshooting
Please refer to at the start of the chap-
ter on page 172. Lane change system fault.
The indicator lamp lights up yellow. The yel-
low central warning lamp also lights up.

WARNING
Driving without the brake servo or with re-
stricted brake serv o function can consider-
ably increase the braking distance and
cause accidents and serious injuries.
x Never deactivate the electric drive or
switch off the ignition as long as the ve-
hicle is still moving.
x If the brake servo does not function or
the vehicle is being towed, the brake
pedal will have to be depressed more
forcefully as the braking distance will be
increased due to the lack of assistance
for the brake system. Switching ESC Sport on and
off
Switching ESC Sport on and off
The ESC Sport function interv

enes later than
the normal ESC to stabilise the vehicle.
With some equipment levels, ESC Sport can
be switched on and off.

Practical equipment
Stowage areas Introduction to the topic
WARNING
Loose objects may be flung through the ve-
hicle interior in the e vent of a sudden driv-
ing or braking manoeuvre. This can cause
serious injury and can also lead to loss of
control of the vehicle.
x Stow objects only in closed stowage
compartments.
x Always keep stowage compartments
closed while the vehicle is in motion.
x The coat hooks in the vehicle should on-
ly be used for lightweight clothing
weighing max. 2.5 kg (approx. 5.5 lbs).
Never leave any heavy, hard or sharp ob-
jects in the pockets. NOTICE
x Do not stow any temperature-sensitiv
e
objects, food or medicines inside the vehi-
cle. Hot and cold temperatures could dam-
age them or render them unusable.
x Objects stored in the vehicle that are
made from transparent materials, such as
transparent suction cups on the windows,
can concentrate the sun

WARNING
Improper use of the sockets and electrical
accessories can cause fires and se vere inju-
ries.
x Never leave children unsupervised in the
vehicle. Sockets and the devices connec-
ted to them can be used when the igni-
tion is switched on.
x If the electrical device gets too hot,
switch off the device immediately and
disconnect it from the socket. NOTICE
x In order to pre
vent damage to the electri-
cal system, never connect equipment that
supplies electric power, such as solar pan-
els or battery chargers for charging the
12-volt battery, to the 12-volt socket.
x Use only electrical devices that have been
approved in accordance with current
guidelines concerning electromagnetic
compatibility.
x In order to avoid damage due to voltage
fluctuations, always switch off any electri-
cal devices before switching the ignition
on or off and before activating the vehi-
cle
