Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Special driving situations 
⇒ Limits of ACC 
⇒ Switching ACC on and off 
⇒ Setting ACC 
⇒ Troubleshooting 
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) maintains a speed selected by the driver. If the vehicle
approaches a vehicle in front, the ACC automatically adapts the speed so that a distance you have
selected is maintained.
Speed range
ACC controls the vehicle in the speed range between 30 km/h (20 mph) and 160 km/h (100 mph)
or 210 km/h (130 mph). This speed range may differ in certain markets.
Driving with ACC
You can override the ACC at any time. Control will be interrupted when you brake. If you accelerate,
control will be interrupted for the duration of the acceleration process and will then continue again.
Control by ACC is less dynamic when towing a trailer ⇒  . The ACC will not perform control operation
if the trailer's brake lights are faulty.
Does the vehicle have ACC?
The vehicle is equipped with ACC if you can make settings for ACC in the vehicle settings of the
Infotainment system ⇒ Vehicle settings menu .
Brake request

The brakes have overheated, control was interrupted automatically. Allow the brakes to cool down
and check functioning again.
If the problem persists, go to a qualified workshop.
Control cannot be started.
A forward gear other than first gear is selected (manual gearbox) or the selector lever is in selector
lever position D/S or the Tiptronic gate.
The speed is at least 25 km/h (16 mph) in the case of vehicles with manual gearbox.
The brake lights on the vehicle and trailer ⇒   are working.
ESC is not regulating.
The brake pedal is not depressed.
Unusual noises during automatic braking.
This is normal and is not a fault.
Area monitoring system (Front Assist)
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Warning levels and braking intervention 
⇒ Limits of Front Assist 
⇒ Pedestrian Monitoring 
⇒ Operating the area monitoring system (Front Assist) 
⇒ Troubleshooting 
The area monitoring system (Front Assist) with City Emergency Braking System and Pedestrian
Monitoring can help to avoid accidents.
Within the limits of the system, Front Assist can warn the driver about imminent collisions, prepare
the vehicle for emergency braking, assist with braking, and initiate automatic braking. The warning
time varies depending on the traffic situation and driver behaviour.
Front Assist is not a substitute for the full concentration of the driver.
Driving with Front Assist
You can cancel the automatic braking interventions of Front Assist by steering or pressing the
accelerator.
Automatic braking
Front Assist can decelerate the vehicle to a standstill. The vehicle will then not be held permanently.
Depress the brake pedal.

Objects that cannot be detected
Vehicles that are driving outside the sensor range in close proximity to your vehicle, e.g. vehicles
that are driving offset to your vehicle or motorbikes.
Vehicles that change into your lane directly in front of your vehicle.
Vehicles with bodies or attachments that project beyond the vehicle.
Oncoming vehicles or vehicles crossing your path.
Pedestrians who are stationary, moving towards the vehicle or moving in the same direction as the
vehicle.
Function limitations
In tight bends.
Driving in heavy rain, snow or heavy spray.
Driving in multi-storey car parks.
Driving on roads with embedded metal objects, e.g. railway tracks.
Reversing.
If TCS is switched off manually.
If ESC is taking corrective action.
If the radar sensor is dirty or covered.
If there is a fault in several brake lights on the vehicle or on a trailer with an electrical connection to
the vehicle ⇒  .
If the vehicle accelerates hard or the accelerator is fully depressed.
In complex driving situations, e.g. at traffic islands.
In unclear traffic situations, e.g. vehicles ahead are braking heavily or turning off.
If there is a fault in Front Assist.
Switching off Front Assist
If the vehicle is used in a capacity other than driving in normal traffic, e.g. offroad.
If the vehicle is being towed or is loaded onto another vehicle.
If the radar sensor is covered temporarily by add-on parts, e.g. auxiliary headlights.
If the radar sensor is faulty.
After external force on the radar sensor, e.g. after a frontal collision.
In the event of multiple unwanted interventions.

Function
When switched on, the Blind Spot Monitor is active from a speed of approx. 15 km/h (9 mph).
In the following driving situations, the yellow indicator lamp will light up in the corresponding
exterior mirror: ⇒ Fig. 124 
If your vehicle is being overtaken.
When overtaking another vehicle with a speed difference of up to approximately 10 km/h (6 mph).
No display will be shown if the takeover manoeuvre is much faster.
If a vehicle is detected in the blind spot and the turn signal is additionally activated in the direction
of the detected vehicle ⇒ , the yellow indicator lamp will flash.
In vehicles with the lane keeping system, the yellow indicator lamp will flash even if you do not
activate the turn signal when leaving your lane, provided that the lane keeping system is switched on
(Blind Spot Monitor Plus). The driver is warned by a corrective steering intervention when changing
lanes during a possible critical situation (information level, warning level). This 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.
The quicker another vehicle approaches, the earlier there is a corresponding display in the exterior
mirror.
Automatic deactivation
The radar sensors for the Blind Spot Monitor will switch off automatically if, for example, the system
detects that a radar sensor is continuously 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 instrument cluster display.
If the Blind Spot Monitor has been automatically deactivated, the system cannot be activated until
the ignition has been switched off and back on again.
The Blind Spot Monitor is automatically deactivated and cannot be activated when the factory-fitted
towing bracket is electrically connected to a trailer or similar ⇒ Trailer towing . Once a trailer is
electrically connected to the vehicle and the driver pulls away, a text message appears in the
instrument cluster display to inform the driver that the Blind Spot Monitor has been deactivated.
The Blind Spot Monitor will be automatically activated again when the trailer has been unhitched
from the vehicle. This applies if the function was previously activated. The Blind Spot Monitor must
be deactivated manually if you tow a trailer using a towing bracket that was not fitted at the factory.
Troubleshooting
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
Blind Spot Monitor is not working
The indicator lamp lights up yellow.
Go to a qualified workshop.

Low-lying vehicle components such as the bumper, spoiler and parts of the running gear, engine or
exhaust system could be damaged. Drive carefully through dips in the road and over drive entrances,
ramps, kerbstones and other objects.

Please adhere to relevant legislation when stopping and parking your vehicle.
