conditions.
Driving on sand and mud
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
Always drive at a steady speed through sand or mud and, do not carry out any manual gear changes
or stop the vehicle.
Check whether ESC is active. The indicator lamp or in the instrument cluster display must not
light up Brake support systems
Keep the vehicle moving constantly.
Use the Offroad driving profile S
Select a suitable gear and remain in this gear until you have reached more solid ground Changing
gear correctly
If the tyres have lost their grip, turn the steering wheel to and fro quickly. This can briefly give the
tyres on the front wheels better grip for these ground conditions.
Driving through sand
Do not under any circumstances reduce the tyre pressure to drive through sand
pressure has been reduced for driving through sand, the correct tyre pressure must always be
restored before driving on. Driving with reduced tyre pressure can lead to a loss of control over the
vehicle and increase the risk of serious and fatal injuries.
Driving through mud
Do not change speed or direction. The tyres can lose their traction when driving through mud. If the
vehicle slides, steer in the direction needed to get the vehicle under control.

WARNING
Driving through mud and sand can be dangerous. The vehicle can slide uncontrollably. This increases
the risk of injury. Always drive carefully through sand and mud.
Never choose an unsafe route or take a risk which could endanger you or your passengers. If you are
in any doubt about the safety of the route, turn round and choose another way.

WARNING
Incorrect tyre pressure can cause severe or even fatal accidents.
Incorrect tyre pressures will increase the levels of wear on the tyres and will negatively affect the
vehicle's handling.

Operating the speed limiter with the multifunction steering wheel
Troubleshooting
The speed limiter helps you to stop exceeding a stored speed.
Speed range
The speed limiter is available when driving forwards at speeds from approx. 30 km/h (20 mph).
Driving with the speed limiter
You can interrupt the speed limiter at any time by depressing the accelerator all the way down past
the point of resistance. As soon as the stored speed is exceeded, the green indicator lamp will
flash and an acoustic warning may sound. The speed remains stored in the memory.
The speed limiter function switches back on automatically as soon as the speed drops back below
the stored speed.
Displays
When the speed limiter is switched on, the instrument cluster display shows the stored speed and
the status of the speed limiter:
Shown small or grey: speed limiter not active.Shown large or white: speed limiter active.
Driving downhill
Driving downhill may cause the set speed to be exceeded.
Apply the foot brake to slow the vehicle down, and change down a gear as required.

WARNING
Always switch off the speed limiter after use to avoid unintentional speed control.
The speed limiter does not relieve the driver of their responsibility for the speed of the vehicle. Do
not drive at full throttle if this is not required.
Use of the speed limiter in adverse weather conditions is dangerous and can cause serious injury,
e.g. through aquaplaning, snow, ice, or leaves. Use the speed limiter only when the road and
weather conditions allow it to be used safely.
The speed limiter cannot limit the vehicle speed when travelling downhill. The vehicle speed can
increase under its own weight. Select a lower gear or use the foot brake to slow the vehicle down.
Operating the speed limiter with the multifunction steering wheel

First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
Switching on
Press the button.
The speed last set remains stored. There is no control yet.
Starting control
While driving, press the button.
The current speed is stored as the maximum speed. The green indicator lamp .
Setting the speed
You can adjust the stored speed:
+ 1 km/h (1 mph)-1 km/h (1 mph)+ 10 km/h (5 mph)- 10 km/h (5 mph)
To continuously adjust the stored speed, press and hold the button or .
Interrupting control
Press the button.
The speed remains stored in the memory.
Resuming control
Press the button.
The speed limiter is automatically reactivated as soon as the current speed is lower than the stored
speed.
Switching off
Press and hold the button.
The speed limiter is switched off, the speed remains stored (even after the ignition is switched off).

121 Left-hand side of the multifunction steering wheel: buttons for operating ACC.
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
Switching on ACC
Press the button.
The indicator lamp lights up grey, ACC does not regulate.
Starting control
Press the button while driving forwards.
ACC stores the current speed and maintains the set distance. If the current speed is outside the
defined speed range, ACC will set the minimum speed (when driving more slowly than the limit) or
maximum speed (when driving faster than the limit).
The following indicator lamps light up, depending on the driving situation:
ACC regulating.No vehicle has been detected ahead.Vehicle detected ahead (white).
Interrupting control
Briefly press the button or press the brake pedal.
The indicator lights up grey, the speed and distance remain stored.
Control is automatically interrupted if the traction control system (TCS) is deactivated.
Resuming control
Press the button.
ACC adopts the last set speed and last set distance. The instrument cluster display shows the set
speed and the indicator lamp lights up green.
Switching off ACC
Press and hold the button.
The set speed is deleted.
Changing to the speed limiter
Press the button.
ACC is switched off.
Setting ACC

If you do not maintain the minimum distance to a vehicle in front and the difference in speed
between the vehicle in front and your own vehicle is so great that the braking action of the ACC is
insufficient, you are in danger of colliding with the vehicle in front. The braking distance is also
longer in rain and winter road conditions.
ACC may not be able to detect all driving situations correctly.
Always be prepared to brake the vehicle yourself.
Speed and distance control are overridden when you press the accelerator. ACC does not brake
automatically in this case.
Observe any country-specific regulations relating to the minimum distance.
Always set a larger distance in wet or snowy conditions or when visibility is poor.

Some settings can be stored in the user accounts of the personalisation function and therefore
change automatically when the user account changes Personalisation
