Opening the off-road display
Changing the driving profile can alter the vehicle handling. Never allow the driving profile
selection to tempt you into taking any risks when driving.
•Always adapt your speed and driving style to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions.
WARNING
Accidents and injuries can occur if the driver is distracted. Operating the Infotainment
system can distract you from the road.
WARNING

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.

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.

•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.
WARNING

The integrated Rear Traffic Alert provides assistance when reversing out of a parking space and
manoeuvring.
System limits
Use the lane keeping system only on paved roads.
The lane change system may interpret the traffic situation incorrectly in the following driving
situations, for example:
•In tight bends.
•When driving in the middle of two lanes.
•When road lanes are of varying width.
•At the brow of a hill.
•In poor weather conditions.
•Where there are special roadside structures, e.g. high or offset crash barriers.
You can save some settings in the user accounts of the personalisation function

When the lane change system is switched on, the yellow indicator lamp in the exterior mirror
housing lights up once briefly ⇒ Fig. 148.
This most recent system setting is retained even after the ignition has been switched off and on.
Function
When switched on, the lane change system is active from a speed of around 15 km/h (9 mph). The
lane change system is deactivated at a vehicle speed below 10 km/h (6 mph).
The intelligent technology of the lane change system including Rear Traffic Alert cannot
overcome the laws of physics, and functions only within the limits of the system. Never let
the extra convenience afforded by the lane change system including Rear Traffic Alert
tempt you into taking any risks when driving. Always take care when using the lane
change system and the Rear Traffic Alert as you could otherwise 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.
•Pay attention to the visual displays in the exterior mirror housing and in the instrument
cluster display, and respond to the commands.
•Always pay close attention to what is happening around the vehicle.
•Never use the lane change system including Rear Traffic Alert if the radar sensors are
dirty, covered or damaged. These circumstances can impair the proper functioning of
the system.
•It may be hard to see the display in the exterior mirror in direct sunlight.
WARNING

In the following driving situations, the yellow indicator lamp lights up in the housing of the respective
exterior mirror:
•If your vehicle is being overtaken.
•When overtaking another vehicle with a speed difference of up to approximately 15 km/h
(9 mph). No display will be shown if the takeover manoeuvre is much faster.
The yellow indicator lamp flashes if a possible critical situation is detected when you indicate in the
direction of the detected vehicle.
The quicker another vehicle approaches, the earlier there is a corresponding display in the exterior
mirror.
Lane change system Side Assist Plus
If the vehicle is equipped with a lane keeping system and the system is switched on, the driver is
warned by a corrective steering intervention when changing lanes during a possible critical situation
(information level, warning level). The steering intervention 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.
Automatic deactivation
The lane change system will switch off automatically if the radar sensors are permanently 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 lane change system sensor has been automatically deactivated, the system cannot be
activated until the ignition has been switched off and back on again.
The lane change system and Rear Traffic Alert are switched off automatically when the factory-
fitted towing bracket is electrically connected with a trailer or similar ⇒ Trailer towing. The lane
change system and Rear Traffic Alert are automatically switched on again when the trailer is
unhitched from the vehicle. The lane change system and Rear Traffic Alert must be switched off
manually if a non-factory-fitted towing bracket is used.
Brightness
The brightness of the visual display will automatically adapt to the light levels.
The basic brightness level can be set in the Infotainment system ⇒ Operation and display in the 
Infotainment system.
The lane change system is not active during the setting procedure.

Key to ⇒ Fig. 150:
Critical situation. Do not drive on!Possible critical situation.
Detection of a critical situation can also take place acoustically:
•A warning signal will sound and a text message will be displayed in the instrument cluster for
vehicles without Park Distance Control.
•A warning signal will sound with the continuous Park Distance Control tone if Park Distance
Control is installed in the vehicle. If the Park Distance Control is deactivated, no warning can be
given to the driver and the Rear Traffic Alert system will also be switched off temporarily.
If there is a fault in the system's scanned area, the yellow indicator lamp lights up .
Automatic braking intervention to minimise damage
If Rear Traffic Alert detects an approaching road user and the driver has not pressed the brake, the
system can brake automatically.
The Rear Traffic Alert helps the driver to prevent damage by initiating an automatic braking
intervention. Automatic braking intervention takes place when reversing at speeds of between
1-12 km/h (1-7 mph). The vehicle is held stationary for up to two seconds after vehicle standstill has
been detected.
After automatic braking intervention is activated to prevent damage to the vehicle, the system
requires approximately ten seconds before it can activate another automatic braking intervention.
The automatic braking intervention can be interrupted by pressing the accelerator or brake pedal
sharply and taking control of the vehicle.
