Electronic Stability Control in sport mode The stability system (ESC 6
) is always acti-
vated and cannot be switched off. However, the driver can select
ESC Sport Mode,
which offers more active driving characteris- tics.
With the ESC Sport Mode sub-function
selected, intervention from the system is reduced and more lateral movement is permit-ted, giving the driver more control of the vehi-cle than usual. When
ESC Sport Mode is selected, the func-
tion may seem to be disabled even though it continues to assist the driver.
NOTE
When ESC Sport Mode is selected, the
trailer stabilizer (TSA 7
) is switched off.
ESC Sport Mode also helps provide more
traction, even if the vehicle gets stuck or is driving on a loose surface such as deep snowor loose sand.

limitations Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC 47
) may have
limited functionality in certain situations.
Steep roads and/or heavy loadsAdaptive Cruise Control is primarily intended to be driven on flat roads. The function maynot be able to maintain the correct time inter-val to the vehicle ahead when driving downsteep hills. The driver should be extra attentiveand prepared to apply the brakes. Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control if the vehi- cle is carrying a heavy load or towing a trailer.
Drive mode unavailableThe Off Road drive mode cannot be selected
if Adaptive Cruise Control is activated.
WARNING
This is not a collision avoidance sys- tem. The driver is always responsibleand must intervene if the system failsto detect a vehicle ahead.
The function does not brake for peopleor animals and does not brake for smallvehicles, such as bikes and motorcy-cles. Similarly, it does not brake for lowtrailers, oncoming, slow-moving or sta-tionary vehicles and objects.
Do not use the function in demandingsituations, such as in city traffic, atintersections, on slippery surfaces,with a lot of water or slush on the road,in heavy rain/snow, in poor visibility, onwinding roads, or on on/off ramps.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera and radar sensor, which has certain generallimitations.

Steering assistanceThe color of the steering wheel symbol indicates thecurrent status of steeringassistance: • GREEN indicates that steering assistance is active
• GRAY (as shown in illustration) indicates thatsteering assistance is deactivated.
Pilot Assist's steering assistance is based on monitoring the direction of the vehicle aheadand the traffic lane's side marker lines. Thedriver can override Pilot Assist's steering rec-ommendations at any time and steer inanother direction, e.g. to change lanes or avoidobstacles on the road. If the camera/radar sensor cannot detect the lane's side marker lines or if Pilot Assist isunable for some other reason to clearly inter-pret the lane, Pilot Assist will temporarilydeactivate steering assistance until it can onceagain interpret the lane markings. However,the speed and distance warnings will remainactive. The driver will be alerted by slightvibrations in the steering wheel that the func-tion has been temporarily deactivated.
WARNING
Pilot Assist is deactivated automatically and resumes working without prior notice.
In curves and forks in the roadPilot Assist is designed to interact with the driver. The driver should never wait for steer-ing assistance from Pilot Assist, but insteadshould always be ready to increase his or herown steering efforts, particularly in curves. When the vehicle is approaching an off-ramp or a fork in the road, the driver should steertoward the desired lane so that Pilot Assistcan detect the desired direction of travel.
Hands on the steering wheelPilot Assist only functions if the driver's handsare on the steering wheel. It is also importantfor the driver to always continue to be activeand alert when driving since Pilot Assist isunable to read all situations and may togglebetween off and on without prior warning.
If Pilot Assist detects that thedriver's hands are not on thesteering wheel, the systemwill provide a symbol and atext message in the instru-ment panel to instruct thedriver to actively steer the
vehicle.
If the driver's hands are still detected on the steering wheel after a few seconds havepassed, the instructions to actively steer thevehicle will be repeated, accompanied by anaudible signal. If Pilot Assist still does not detect the driver'shands on the steering wheel after a few moreseconds have passed, the audible signal willbecome intense and the steering function willswitch off. Pilot Assist must then be reactiva- ted by pressing the
button on the steering
wheel.
WARNING
The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate drivingand help make it safer – it cannot han-dle all situations in all traffic, weatherand road conditions.
The driver is advised to read all sec-tions in the Owner's Manual about thisfunction to learn of its limitations,which the driver must be aware ofbefore using the function.
Driver support functions are not a sub-stitute for the driver's attention andjudgment. The driver is always respon-sible for ensuring the vehicle is drivenin a safe manner, at the appropriatespeed, with an appropriate distance toother vehicles, and in accordance withcurrent traffic rules and regulations.

Passing assistance *
Passing assistance can assist the driver when passing other vehicles. The function can be used with Adaptive Cruise Control * or Pilot
Assist *.
When Adaptive Cruise Control or Pilot Assist is following another vehicle and you indicatethat you intend to pass that vehicle by using the turn signal 68
, the system will begin accel-
erating toward the vehicle ahead before your
vehicle has moved into the passing lane. The function will then delay a speed reduction to avoid early braking as your vehicleapproaches a slower-moving vehicle. The function remains active until your vehicle has passed the other vehicle.
WARNING
Please note that this function can be acti- vated in more situations than just passinganother vehicle, such as when a directionindicator is used to indicate a lane changeor before exiting to another road – the vehi-cle will then briefly accelerate.
