Safety

indicate a change in direction or lane change by operating the turn signal. The hazard warning lights
will be interrupted temporarily.
Switch on the hazard warning lights, e.g. in the following situations:
When traffic ahead suddenly starts moving more slowly or you reach the tail end of a traffic jam to
warn vehicles behind you.
There is an emergency situation.
The vehicle has broken down.
When tow-starting or towing.
Always follow local regulations on the use of the hazard warning lights.
If the hazard warning lights are not working, you must use an alternative method of drawing
attention to the broken-down vehicle. This method must comply with traffic legislation.

WARNING
Any broken-down vehicle poses a high accident risk for the vehicle occupants and for other road
users.
Stop the vehicle as soon as possible and when safe to do so.
Park the vehicle at a safe distance from moving traffic.
Switch on the hazard warning lights.
Never leave other persons alone in the vehicle, particularly children or people requiring assistance.
This applies in particular when the doors are locked. People locked in the vehicle may be subjected
to very high or very low temperatures.

WARNING
Ignoring any of the items on this important safety checklist can lead to accidents and severe injuries.
Always follow the instructions in the checklist and observe the general safety procedures.

WARNING
The components of the exhaust system become very hot. This can cause fires and serious injuries.
Park the vehicle so that no part of the exhaust system can come into contact with any inflammable
material underneath the vehicle, e.g. dry grass, fuel.

WARNING
Incorrect use of turn signals, a failure to use turn signals, or forgetting to switch off a turn signal can
confuse other road users. This could lead to accidents and serious injuries.
Always activate the turn signal in good time when changing lanes and performing overtaking or
turning manoeuvres.
Always switch off the turn signal once the lane change or overtaking or turning manoeuvre has been
completed.

The hazard warning lights also work when the ignition is switched off In an emergency

ant that the driver positions the exterior and interior mirrors correctly
before starting a journey
Looking in the exterior mirrors and the interior mirror does not allow the driver to see the entire
side and rear area around the vehicle. The area that cannot be seen is known as the blind spot.
There may be objects and other road users in the blind spot.

WARNING
Adjusting the exterior and interior mirrors while the vehicle is moving may cause the driver to
become distracted. This could lead to accidents and serious injuries.
Exterior and interior mirrors should be adjusted only when the vehicle is at a standstill.
When parking, changing lane, or performing an overtaking or turning manoeuvre, always pay careful
attention to the area around the vehicle as objects and other road users may be located in the blind
spot.
Always ensure that the mirrors are positioned correctly and that the rear view is not restricted by
ice, snow, condensation or any other objects.

WARNING
If you estimate the distance from traffic behind you incorrectly, you can cause accidents and serious
injuries.
Curved mirrors (convex or aspheric) enlarge the field of vision and can make objects in the mirror
seem smaller and further away than they actually are.
Using curved mirrors to estimate the distance from other vehicles behind you when changing lanes
can provide inaccurate results and can lead to accidents and serious injuries.
Whenever possible, use the interior mirror to check the exact distance between your vehicle and
following traffic or other objects.
Ensure that you have a good view to the rear of the vehicle.

WARNING
Automatic anti-dazzle mirrors contain an electrolyte fluid which could leak if the mirror is broken.
The leaking electrolyte fluid can cause irritation to the skin, eyes and respiratory organs, especially in
people who suffer from asthma or similar illnesses. Immediately ensure that there is a sufficient
supply of fresh air and get out of the vehicle. If this is not possible, open all of the windows and
doors.
If the electrolyte fluid gets into the eyes or onto the skin, immediately wash the area with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes and consult a doctor.

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

Fig. 118 On the instrument cluster display: slower vehicle detected in the left-hand lane (illustration).

Overtaking
If you indicate left (left-hand traffic: indicate right) to overtake, ACC will accelerate the vehicle and
reduce the distance from the vehicle in front. Your set speed will not be exceeded.
If ACC does not detect any vehicle in front after you have changed lane, ACC will accelerate the
vehicle up to the set speed.
Stop-and-go traffic
ACC can brake vehicles with DSG

First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
When not to use ACC
Driving in heavy rain, snow or heavy spray.
Driving through tunnels.
Driving through road works.
Driving on twisting roads, e.g. mountain roads.
Driving offroad.
Driving in multi-storey car parks.
Driving on roads with embedded metal objects, e.g. railway tracks.
Driving on roads with loose chippings.
Vehicles without inside overtaking prevention function: driving on multi-lane roads when
vehicles in the overtaking lane are driving more slowly.
Delayed response

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.
Switching ACC on and off

Radar sensor
Front Assist detects driving situations by means of the radar sensor at the front of the vehicle
Front view m.
Functions included in the system
The City Emergency Braking System and Pedestrian Monitoring (depending on vehicle equipment)
are part of Front Assist and are automatically active when Front Assist is switched on.

WARNING
The intelligent technology used in Front Assist cannot overcome the laws of physics, and functions
only within the limits of the system. Never let the extra convenience afforded by Front Assist tempt
you into taking safety risks when driving. The driver is always responsible for braking in time.
If Front Assist issues a warning, brake your vehicle immediately depending on the traffic situation or
avoid the obstacle.
Adapt your speed and distance from the vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions.
Front Assist cannot prevent accidents and serious injuries on its own.
Front Assist can issue unnecessary warnings and carry out unwanted braking interventions in certain
complex driving situations, e.g. at traffic islands.
Front Assist can issue unnecessary warnings and carry out unwanted braking interventions when its
function is impaired, e.g. if the radar sensor is dirty or its position has been changed.
Front Assist without Pedestrian Monitoring does not react to persons. In addition, the system does
not react to animals or to vehicles that are crossing or approaching in the same lane.
If you are unsure whether your vehicle possesses Pedestrian Monitoring, please enquire about this
at a qualified workshop before starting your journey.
Be prepared to take over control of the vehicle yourself at all times.
Warning levels and braking intervention
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
Distance warning
The system detects when safety is endangered by driving too close to the vehicle in front. The
warning lamp lights up. Increase the distance.
