Is SL or ASL active?Symbols in the instrument panel indicate which function is active:
Symbol SLASL
A✓ ✓
Sign symbol B
next to "70": ASL is acti-
vated.
✓
AWHITE symbol: the function is active, GRAY symbol: the func- tion is in standby mode.
B See the section "ASL symbol" below for an explanation of thesymbol's different colors.
The ASL symbol
A road sign symbol (next to the stored speed in the center of the speedome-ter) can be displayed in three differentcolors as explained in the following
table:
Road sign
symbol's color Explanation
Green/yellow ASL is active Gray ASL is in standby mode
Amber/orange ASL is temporarily in standby mode (e.g., because a speed limit sign could not be read)
ASL limitations
•ASL utilizes the speed limit information provi- ded by the Road Sign Information
* system
(RSI), not from the speed limit signs that the
vehicle passes.
• If RSI cannot provide ASL with speed-related information, ASL will go into standby modeand switch to SL. The driver will have to reactand adapt the vehicle's speed.
• ASL will reactivate when RSI is once againable to read a speed limit sign.

Function buttons and symbols (generic illustration)
–Press the button (1) until 43 mph
(70 km/h) has changed to 47 mph (75 km/h) in the center of the speedometer (4).
> The vehicle will then use the selected tol-
erance +4 mph (+5 km/h) until the vehi- cle passes a sign with a lower or higherspeed limit. The vehicle will then adjust tothe new maximum speed and the set tol-erance will be deleted from the system'smemory. If the Road Sign Information * system is
activated, the posted speed limit will be indicated by a RED marker on the spee-dometer's speed scale. The set tolerance can be adjusted in the same way as the Speed Limiter's setmaximum speed.
NOTE
The greatest tolerance that can be set is +/– 5 mph (10 km/h).

Deactivating/reactivating the Speed Limiter *
The Speed Limiter (SL) can be temporarily deac- tivated and put in standby mode.
Deactivating and putting SL in standby
mode
To temporarily put the Speed Limiter in standby mode:
Function buttons and symbols
–Press the button (2).
> The symbols in the instrument panel will change colors from WHITE to GRAY. This indicates that SL is temporarily in standby mode and will not limit the vehi-cle's maximum speed.

Reactivating SL from standby modeTo reactivate SL after it has temporarily been put in standby mode:
–Press the button (1).
> The maximum speed marker (4) and sym- bols will change colors to WHITE and the vehicle's maximum speed will be limited tothe previously set maximum speed.
or
–Press the button (2).
> The symbols will change colors from GRAY to WHITE and the vehicle's current speed will be set as the maximum speed.
Increasing the speed with the accelerator pedal
The set maximum speed can be temporarily exceeded using the accelerator pedal withoutputting SL in standby mode, for instance whenquick acceleration is required.
1. Press the accelerator pedal as far down as possible and release it when the vehicle has reached the desired speed.
> SL remains activated (the symbols in theinstrument panel will remain WHITE).
2. Release the accelerator pedal when the tem- porary acceleration is completed.
> The vehicle will slow down and its speedwill remain under the set maximum speed.

Cruise Control (CC)
Cruise Control (CC) is designed to assist the driver by maintaining a set speed. It is primarilyintended for use on long straight roads in steadytraffic, such as on highways and other mainroads in smoothly flowing traffic.

In models equipped with the optional Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), the driver can togglebetween CC and ACC – see the article "Switch-ing between Cruise Control and Adaptive CruiseControl".
WARNING
• The vehicle must always be driven according to current traffic/road condi-tions. The driver must take action if CCdoes not maintain a suitable speedand/or distance to other vehicles.
• The driver is always responsible for oper-ating the vehicle in a safe manner.

Switching between Cruise Control and Adaptive Cruise Control *
In models equipped with the optional ACC, the driver can toggle between CC and ACC.
A symbol in the instrument panel will indicate which system is currently being used:
CC
Cruise Control ACC
Adaptive Cruise Control
AA
A If the symbol is WHITE, the function is active. If the symbol is GRAY, the function is in standby mode.
Switching from ACC to CCTo switch from ACC to CC: 1. Put ACC in standby mode with the
but-
ton on the left-side steering wheel keypad.
2. From the center display's Function view, tap the
Cruise control button. The button's indi-
cator will change from GRAY to GREEN.
> The symbol in the instrument panel will
change from
(ACC) to (CC) and CC is in standby mode (ready for use but not currently maintaining a setspeed). 3.
Press the
button on the left-side steer-
ing wheel keypad.
> CC goes into active mode and sets the vehicle's current speed.
WARNING
Switching from ACC to CC means that:
• Your vehicle will
no longer automatically
maintain a set distance to a vehicle ahead.
• Only the set speed will be maintained andthe driver will have to apply the brakeswhen needed.
If CC was activated when the engine was turnedoff, ACC will be selected and go into standbymode when the engine is restarted.
Switching from CC to ACCTo switch from CC to ACC: 1. Put CC in standby mode with the
button
on the left-side steering wheel keypad. 2. In the center display's Function view, tap the
Adaptive Cruise Control button. The but-
ton's indicator will change from GREEN to GRAY.
> The symbol in the instrument panel will
change from
(CC) to (ACC) and ACC is in standby mode (ready for use but not currently maintaining a setspeed/time interval).
3. Press the
button on the left-side steer-
ing wheel keypad.
> ACC goes into active mode and sets the vehicle's current speed and the selected time interval to the vehicle ahead.

Collision warning
Warning light in the windshield
Adaptive Cruise Control can exert brake force that is equivalent to approximately 40% of thevehicle's total braking capacity. In situations requiring more brake force than ACC can provide and if the driver does not applythe brakes, an audible signal from the City Safetysystem will sound and warning light will illuminatein the windshield to alert the driver to react.
NOTE
Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light con- trasts, the use of sunglasses, or if the driver isnot looking straight ahead may make the vis-ual warning signal in the windshield difficult tosee.

A flashing light alerts the driver
A flashing icon will appear in the head-up display to alert the driver of a collision risk.
NOTE
Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light con- trasts, the use of sunglasses, or if the driver isnot looking straight ahead may make the vis-ual warning signal in the windshield difficult tosee.

Function buttons and symbols
–Press ◀ (2) or ▶ (3) to scroll to the ACC
(
) function. The symbol (4) will be dis-

Activating ACC (putting it in active mode and setting a speed)
Before ACC can be put in active mode:
• The driver's seat belt must be buckled and the driver's door must be closed.
• There must be a vehicle ahead (a target vehi-cle) within a reasonable distance or yourvehicle's current speed must be at least9 mph (15 km/h).
–With the symbol displayed (ACC is in
standby mode), press the
button (1) on
the left-side steering wheel keypad.
> This puts ACC in active mode and sets the vehicle's current speed, which is indi- cated by digits in the center of the speed-ometer. The
time interval to the vehi-
cle ahead will only be shownwhen two vehicles are dis-played.
A speed interval will also be indicated:
• The higher speed is the one set in ACC
• The lower one is the speed of the vehicle ahead (the target vehicle).

shows that ACC is set at a
speed of 68 mph (110/km/h) and that there is no vehicle ahead to follow.

shows that ACC is set at a
speed of 68 mph (110/km/h) and is following another vehicle traveling at the same speed.
The following table lists several ACC-related symbols and messages.

Collision warning
Warning light in the windshield
Pilot Assist can exert brake force that is equiva- lent to approximately 40% of the vehicle's totalbraking capacity. In situations requiring more brake force than Pilot Assist can provide and if the driver does notapply the brakes, an audible signal and warninglight will illuminate in the windshield to alert thedriver to react.
NOTE
Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light con- trasts, the use of sunglasses, or if the driver isnot looking straight ahead may make the vis-ual warning signal in the windshield difficult tosee.
WARNING
Pilot Assist only provides warnings for vehi- cles that its radar sensor and camera havedetected. For this reason, a warning may begiven later than expected or not at all. Thedriver should never wait for a warning beforeapplying the brakes.
