ripping of the tread surface and thus to a loss of control over the vehicle.
Driving on steep terrain
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
Driving uphill or downhill
Get out of the vehicle and assess the situation before you attempt to drive up or down a hill:
Walk along the section and check the firmness of the ground. Look out for obstacles and other
hidden dangers
Check the section beyond the hill.
You should not follow the route if it is too steep, uneven or if the ground surface is too loose. Select
another route.
Drive slowly and at constant speed straight up or down a slope.
Accelerate only to the speed you need to climb the slope. Too much acceleration can cause the
wheels to spin and lead to a loss of control of the vehicle. Insufficient throttle increases the
probability of stalling the engine.
Never attempt to stop or turn on a slope.
Avoid allowing the engine to stall.
Do not change gear or engage the clutch when climbing a slope.
Use the offroad display Offroad display
If you cannot continue to drive up a hill
Never turn the vehicle around on an uphill gradient.
If the engine has stalled, depress the footbrake and start the engine again.
Select reverse gear and reverse back slowly in a straight line.
Use the foot brake to keep a constant speed until you have reached a safe place.
Driving downhill
Never exceed the tilt angle of the vehicle! If, in an emergency, you have to traverse the slope when
driving down it and the vehicle threatens to tip over, steer into the fall line immediately.
There is an increased risk of rolling over when driving downhill. Concentrate on steering the vehicle
when driving downhill in particular.
Use the offroad display on steep downhill stretches Offroad display
Drive down steep inclines in first gear.
Use the foot brake sparingly in order not to lose control of the vehicle.

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.

corresponding message on the instrument cluster. In addition, the red warning lamp lights up
and an acoustic warning is given. Brake immediately!
Radar sensor
ACC detects driving situations by means of the radar sensor at the front of the vehicle Front view
The radar sensor has a range of up to approximately 120 m.
WARNING
The intelligent technology used in the ACC cannot overcome the laws of physics, and functions only
within the limits of the system. Never let the extra convenience tempt you into taking safety risks
when driving. Careless or unintentional use of the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) can cause accidents
and lead to serious injury. The system is not a substitute for the full concentration of the driver.
Adapt your speed and distance from the vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions.
Never use the ACC in poor visibility, on steep or winding roads, or on slippery road surfaces e.g. due
to snow, ice, wet roads, loose chippings, or on flooded roads.
Never use the ACC offroad or on non-surfaced roads. The ACC is designed for use on surfaced roads
only.
The ACC will not react to stationary vehicles.
The ACC will not react to persons, animals or vehicles crossing or approaching in the same lane.
Brake immediately if speed reduction by ACC is not sufficient.
Brake immediately if a request to brake appears on the instrument cluster display.
Brake if the vehicle starts rolling unintentionally after a request to brake.
Be prepared to control the speed yourself at all times.
Special driving situations

adar sensor is exposed to environmental conditions that impair sensor functioning, the
system may detect this only after a certain time. For this reason, possible functional restrictions may
be displayed only after a delay at the start of the journey and when driving
Objects that cannot be detected
Persons.
Animals.
Stationary vehicles.
Crossing or oncoming vehicles.
Other stationary obstacles.
If a stationary vehicle is hidden behind a vehicle that has been detected by the adaptive cruise
control and this vehicle turns off the road or changes lane, the ACC will not react to the stationary
vehicle Fig. 120.
Bends
The radar sensor always measures straight ahead. For this reason, vehicles may be incorrectly
detected or vehicles driving ahead not detected in tight bends Fig. 119.
Vehicles outside the sensor range
Vehicles that are driving outside the sensor range in close proximity to your vehicle, e.g. motorbikes
Fig. 119.
Vehicles that change into your lane directly in front of your vehicle Fig. 120.
Vehicles with bodies or attachments that project beyond the vehicle.
WARNING
If you use ACC in the above situations, this can result in accidents and serious injuries as well as
violation of legal regulations.

of the vehicle and prepares the vehicle for a possible emergency braking procedure.
A warning tone sounds and the red warning lamp lights up. Brake or take avoiding action.
Speed range: around 30 km/h (20 mph) to 250 km/h (155 mph).
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 avoiding action.
Speed range: around 30 km/h (20 mph) to 250 km/h (155 mph).
Automatic braking
If the driver also does not react to the urgent warning, the vehicle can be braked automatically with
braking force that increases in several stages. The reduced speed means that it is possible to
minimise the consequences of an accident.
Speed range: around 5 km/h (3 mph) to 250 km/h (155 mph).
Braking intervention
If the system detects that the driver is braking insufficiently when there is a risk of collision, the
system can increase the braking force and help prevent a collision. The braking intervention takes
place only for as long as the brake pedal is pressed hard.
Speed range: around 5 km/h (3 mph) to 250 km/h (155 mph).
City Emergency Braking System
The City Emergency Braking System is part of Front Assist. If the driver does not react to a possible
collision, the system can also automatically brake the vehicle with increasing braking force without
any advance warning.
The red warning lamp lights up
Speed range: around 5 km/h (3 mph) to 30 km/h (20 mph).
Limits of Front Assist
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
Front Assist is not available or its functions are restricted for a period of around 30 seconds (also
longer, depending on the driving situation) immediately after the vehicle is started.
Front Assist has physical and system-related limitations. You should therefore always be prepared to
take full control of the vehicle if necessary.
Delayed response
If the radar sensor is exposed to environmental conditions that impair sensor functioning, the
system may detect this only after a certain time. For this reason, possible functional restrictions may
be displayed only after a delay at the start of the journey and when driving

Lane keeping system (Lane Assist)
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
Driving with the lane keeping system
Troubleshooting
The lane keeping system (Lane Assist) helps the driver stay in lane.
Using a camera in the windscreen, the lane departure warning system detects lane markings on the
road. If your vehicle moves too close to a recognised lane marking, the system will warn the driver
with a corrective steering intervention. The corrective steering intervention can be overridden by
the driver at any time.
Adaptive lane guidance (depending on vehicle equipment)
The adaptive lane guidance system detects the preferred position in a lane and keeps the vehicle in
this position.
Adaptive lane guidance is switched on and off in the Driver assistance menu in the Infotainment
system Vehicle settings menu
System limits
Use the lane keeping system only on motorways and good main roads.
The system is not active under the following conditions:
The lane keeping system has not detected any lane markings.
WARNING
The intelligent technology used in the lane keeping system cannot overcome the laws of physics, and
functions only within the limits of the system. Always take care when using the lane departure
warning system otherwise you could cause accidents or injuries. The system is not a substitute for
the full concentration of the driver.
Adapt your speed and distance from the vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions.
Your hands should always be on the steering wheel so that you can steer at any time. The driver is
always responsible for staying in lane.
The lane keeping system cannot recognise all lane markings. Poor road surfaces, road structures or
objects could be recognised incorrectly as lane markings by the lane keeping system. The lane
keeping system should be switched off immediately in these situations.
Follow the information on the instrument cluster display and respond according to the commands.

If the camera's field of view is dirty, covered or damaged, the function of the lane keeping system
may be impaired.
Some settings can be saved in the user accounts of the personalisation function and can therefore
change automatically when the user account is changed Personalisation
