Speed limiter
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Operating the speed limiter with the turn signal and main beam lever
⇒ Operating the speed limiter via the multifunction steering wheel
⇒ Troubleshooting
The speed limiter helps to prevent the
vehicle from exceeding a speed that
you have stored.
Speed range
The speed limiter is available when driving forwards at speeds from around 30 km/h (20 mph).
Driving with speed limiter
You can interrupt the speed limiter function at any time by fully depressing the accelerator beyond
the point of resistance. The green warning and indicator lamp flashes as soon as the stored
speed is exceeded. The speed remains stored in the memory.
The speed limiter function is activated again automatically as soon as the speed drops below the
stored speed.
Driving downhill
Driving downhill may cause the set speed to be exceeded. The green warning and indicator lamp
flashes in this case. An acoustic warning may also be given.
Apply the foot brake to slow the vehicle down, and change down a gear as required.
How do I operate the speed limiter?
Depending on the vehicle equipment, you can operate the speed limiter either by means of the turn
signal and main beam lever ⇒ Operating the speed limiter with the turn signal and main beam lever
or via the multifunction steering wheel ⇒ Operating the speed limiter via the multifunction steering
wheel.
The displays on the instrument cluster are identical in both cases ⇒ Fig. 140.
Operating the speed limiter with the turn signal and main beam
lever
®
Always switch off the speed limiter after use to avoid unintentional speed regulation.
•The speed limiter does not relieve the driver of their responsibility for the speed of the
vehicle. Do not drive at full throttle if it 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. Only use the speed
limiter 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. Shift down a gear or brake the vehicle using
the foot brake.

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.
Radar sensor
ACC detects driving situations by means of the radar sensor at the front of the vehicle ⇒ Front
view. The range of the radar sensor is up to approximately 120 m.
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.
If the vehicle has ACC, the cruise control system is not available as an independent system.
Special driving situations
Fig. 142 On the instrument cluster display: slower vehicle detected in the left-hand lane
(illustration).
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
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 dual clutch gearbox to a standstill and hold them stationary.
ACC remains active and the instrument cluster display shows ACC ready for a few seconds.
During this time the vehicle will move off again automatically as soon as the vehicle in front moves
off (depending on the vehicle equipment level and not available in all countries).
•Press the button.
•Press the button or briefly press the accelerator.
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.
•Do not use the ACC in poor visibility, on steep or winding roads, on slippery road
surfaces, e.g. on snow, ice, wet roads, loose chippings, or on flooded roads.
•Never use ACC off-road or on non-surfaced roads. The ACC is designed for use on
surfaced roads only.
•ACC does not respond to stationary vehicles.
•The ACC does 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.
WARNING
®
Page 175 of 341

•The vehicle is stationary for longer than approximately three minutes.
•A vehicle door is opened.
•The ignition is switched off.
Avoiding overtaking on the right (left-hand traffic: overtaking on the left)
If ACC detects a slower vehicle in the left-hand lane (left-hand traffic: in the right-hand lane), ACC
will brake the vehicle gently within the system limits and therefore prevent a prohibited overtaking
manoeuvre ⇒ Fig. 142. The function is active from speeds of around 80 km/h (50 mph), but is not
available in all countries.
System limits
Fig. 143 Driving through bends. Vehicles outside the range of the radar sensor.
Fig. 144 Vehicle changes lane. Turning vehicle and stationary vehicle.
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
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 off-road
•Driving in multi-storey car parks
•Driving on roads with embedded metal objects, e.g. railways tracks
•Driving on roads with loose chippings
•m/k/a995MK Vehicles without inside overtaking prevention function: driving on multi-lane
roads when vehicles in the overtaking lane are driving more slowly.
Objects that cannot be detected
•Persons
•Animals
•Stationary vehicles
•Crossing or oncoming vehicles
•Other stationary obstacles
If the message ACC ready is shown on the instrument cluster display and the vehicle in
front moves off, your vehicle will move off automatically. In some cases, the radar sensor
may be unable to detect obstacles that are located in the vehicle's path. This can result in
serious injury and accidents.
•Always check the road ahead before moving off and brake the vehicle if necessary.
WARNING
Page 176 of 341

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. 144.
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. 143.
Vehicles outside the sensor range
•Vehicles that are driving outside the sensor range in close proximity to your vehicle, e.g.
motorbikes ⇒ Fig. 143.
•Vehicles that change into your lane directly in front of your vehicle ⇒ Fig. 144.
•Vehicles with bodies or attachments that project beyond the vehicle.

+ 1 km/h (1 mph)- 1 km/h (1 mph)+ 10 km/h (5 mph)- 10 km/h (5 mph)
Press and hold the corresponding button to incrementally change the stored speed.
Setting the control behaviour
•m/k/a995MK Vehicles with driving profile selection: set the desired driving profile
⇒ Driving profile selection and 4MOTION Active Control.
•m/k/a995MK Vehicles without driving profile selection: set the desired gearbox
programme in the vehicle settings of the Infotainment system ⇒ Vehicle settings menu.
Some settings can be stored in the user accounts of the personalisation function and
therefore change automatically when the user account changes ⇒ Personalisation.
Troubleshooting
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
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.
•The Adaptive Cruise Control 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.

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Warning levels and braking intervention
⇒ Operating the area monitoring system (Front Assist)
⇒ Pedestrian Monitoring
⇒ System limits
⇒ Troubleshooting
The area monitoring system (Front
Assist) with City Emergency Braking
System 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.

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 ⇒ Vehicle overviews, the lane keeping 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 ⇒ Operation and display in the Infotainment system.
System limits
Use the lane keeping system only on motorways and good main roads.
The system is not active under the following conditions:
•Vehicle speed is less than 60 km/h (37 mph).
•Lane keeping system has not detected any lane markings or lane boundaries.

Temporarily switching off the lane keeping system
Switch off the lane keeping system in the following situations:
•Very sporty driving.
•In poor weather conditions and when driving on poor roads.
•In roadworks and before crests in the road.
Driver intervention prompt
Your hands must always remain on the steering wheel even with the lane keeping system. If not, a
message will be shown in the instrument cluster display.
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 keeping 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 road markings. Poor road surfaces, road
structures or objects could be recognised incorrectly as road 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.
•Always pay close attention to what is happening around the vehicle.
•If the camera's field of view is dirty, covered or damaged, the function of the lane
keeping system may be impaired.
