The downhill driving assistant in veh icles with an
~utomatic gearbox helps when braking and travel­
ling downhill ~ £. The downhill driving assistant
uses the braking power of the engine .
The automatic gearbox selects the best gear for
t~e circums tances by taking the steepness of the
h1l.l and the current speed into consideration. To do
th1s the selector lever must be in position D or S.
The downhill driving assistant is not active in Tip­
Ironic mode .
As the downhill driving assistant can only shift
down as far as the 3rd gear, it may be necessary
to activate the Tiptronic mode when driving down
If the start/stop system is used in very high
outside temperatures over a long period, the
vehicle battery can be damaged.

A WARNING
Using cameras to estimate the distance from
obstacles (persons, vehicle etc. ) is inaccurate
and can cause accidents and severe injuries.
• The camera lens enlarges and distorts the
field of vision and makes objects on the
screen appear to be different and imprecise.
• Certain objects, for example narrow posts
or grids , may be difficult or impossible to see
on the screen because of its low resolution or
poor light conditions.
• The camera has blind spots within which
obstacles and people cannot be detected.
• Keep the camera lens clean, free of snow
and ice and do not cover it.
A WARNING
~------------~--------~~~------~ The technology of the Rear Assist system
cannot overcome the laws of physics or sys­
tem-related vehicle limitations. Careless or
unintentional use of the Rear Assist system
can cause accidents and severe injuries. The
system is not a substitute for the full concen­
tration of the driver.
• Adapt your speed and driving style to suit
visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
• Keep looking to check the direction in
which you are parking and the relevant area
around the vehicle. The front of the vehicle
swings out more than the rear of the vehicle.
•
Do not allow the images shown on the
screen to distract you from the traffic around
you.
• Always monitor the area around the vehi­
cle as the cameras will not always detect in­
fants, animals and objects.
• The system may not be able to d isplay all
areas clearly.
• The Rear Assist system should only be
used when the tailgate is fully closed.
• The camera only shows two-dimensional
images on the screen. The lack of depth of field
means that recesses and protruding objects on
the ground may only be detected with difficulty,
or may not be detected at all.
• The camera may not always be able to de­
tect objects such as thin rails, fences, posts,
trees etc. This can result in damage to your ve­
hicle.

The park assist system helps the driver by braking
automatically . The automatic braking does not re­
place the driver's responsibility for the accelerator
brake and
clutch ~ £. '
A parking manoeuvre will be interrupted if a speed
of approximately 7 km /h (4 mph) is exceeded .
Automatic brake intervention to avoid
excess speed
An automatic brake intervention may occur to pre­
vent .the
vehicle from exceeding a speed of ap­
proximately 7 km/h (4 mph) . The parking manoeu­
vre can be cont inued after the automatic brake in­
t e rvention .
The automatic br a
ke intervention can take place
once per parking manoeuvre .

---• The Park Assi~t syste.m will operate only the
steering wheel whrle gettrng out of the parking
space .
The driver operates the accelerator
. ' clutch, gear shaft and brake.
• If it is possible to pull out of the parking space
the Park Assist
system is ended automatically . '
Take
over steering and, if the traffic situation allows
it, pull out of the parking space.
Automatic cancellation for getting out of a
parking space
The Park Assist system will cancel the procedure
of getting out of the parking space if one of the fo l­
lowing happens :
• The vehicle speed when getting out of the park­
ing space is higher than approximately 7 km/h
(4 mph).
• The driver operates the steering wheel.
•
There is a system fault (system is temporarily
unavailable).
• The TCS is switched off or the TCS or ESP
starts to regulate . ~
Automatic brake intervention to minimise
damage
~hen approaching an obstacle, automatic braking
Intervention may occur. The Park Assist system
may bring the vehicle to a standstill before the ob­
stacle under certain conditions , e .g . weather, ultra­
sound detection , conditions of the car, load or in­
cline .
•
Depress the brake pedal ~ &!
The. Park Assist system is ended following an auto­
matic brake intervention to minimise damage.
A WARNING
Do not let the extra convenience afforded bY
the P~rk Assist system tempt you into takin~
any nsks when driving -this can cause accl
dents. The system is not a substitute tor the
full concentration of the driver.
• You should always be prepared to brake ,

Always switch off the speed limiter after use
to avoid unintentional cruise control.
• 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 weath·
er conditions is dangerous and can cause se­
rious 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.

The following conditions can prevent the
adaptive cruise control from reacting:
• If the the acce le rator is depressed.
• If no g ear is selected .
• If the ESC is taking corre ctive action .
• If the driv er h as no t f astened seat belt.
• If there is a fau lt in seve ral brake lights on the

connection
to the vehic le .
• If the vehicle is reve rsing .
• If the vehicle is travelling faster than approxi ­
mately 160 km/h (100 mph).
A WARNING
If you close the gap to a vehicle in front and
the difference in speed between the two vehi­
cles is so great that the braking action of the
ACC is insufficient, you are in danger of col­
liding with the vehicle in front. You should re­
duce the vehicle speed immediately with the
foot brake.
• The ACC may not be able to recognise all
driving situations correctly.
• Leaving your foot on the accelerator will
mean that the ACC will not brake automatical­
ly. This is because manual acceleration over­
rides the system.
• You should always be prepared to brake
the vehicle yourself.
• Observe country-specific regulations re­
garding the minimum distance.
rn
The set speed will be deleted if the ig nition or
the ACC is switched off.
rn
The ACC is automatically deactivated when
the tract ion control system (T CS ) is deactiva-
ted .
rn
In vehicles with a start/stop system, the e n ­
g ine is switched off automatical ly during the
stat ionary phase of ACC and is then restarted for
moving off. Driver assist systems 231
