& WARNING
Following other vehicles too closely increases the risk of a crash
and serious personal injury .
• Following other vehicles too closely, particularly at higher
speeds increases the risk of collisions and serious personal injury .
• Setting short distances to the traffic ahead reduces the time
and distance available to bring your vehicle to a safe stop and
makes it even more necessary to pay close attention to traffic.
• Always select a speed and distance to traffic ahead that is safe
and appropriate under the prevailing traffic, road, weather and
lighting conditions.
• Never rely on the distance control feature of ACC alone to
prevent rear-end collisions. Always be prepared to brake and take
evasive action to avoid collisions and other accident situations.
• Never allow the closing speed between you and other vehicles
to be so high that the Adaptive Cruise Control may not be able to slow your vehicle safely .
If closing speed is too high, you must
apply the brakes yourself to reduce the risk of a rear-end crash.
• Always select a greater following distance to the vehicle ahead
on wet roads than on dry roads.
• Always read and heed the information and

System limitations
Applies to vehicles : with Ada ptive C rui se C ont rol
General information
The radar sensor has limits that the driver must know to
be able to use ACC properly.
The Adaptive Cruise Control works within limits that are also related
to radar sensor range and sight distance . In some situations ACC
may react unusually or late from the driver's point of view. There­
fore, always be attentive to what is happening around you and
always be ready to intervene, if necessary:
• when driving around curves=>
page 151.
• when vehicles up front are not in line with your vehicle
=>
page 151.
• when other vehicles are changing lanes=> page 151.
• when other vehicles are difficult to detect=> page 152.
• when vehicles up ahead are not moving or obstacles are in your
travel lane=>
page 152.
& WARNING
The radar sensor's function and range can be reduced by rain,
snow and heavy spray. Moving vehicles up ahead may not be
promptly detected or may not be detected at all.
• Always pay careful attention to the traffic situation and be
ready to intervene and be ready to take complete control when­
ever necessary. •

Earl y:
This setting warns the driver before a wheel touches the
detected lane boundary line. The warning depends on the vehicle's
angle as it approaches the boundary line . If you approach a
boundary l ine gradua lly, the warning will occur ear lier. If you
approach the boundary line at a very sharp angle, the warning wi ll
occur just before a whee l touches the line.
Adapti ve : In this setting, the warning time adjusts to the character ­
istics of the road and the vehicle speed. The warning occurs later for
curves and occurs earlier for straight stretches of road . The warning
occurs later on narrow roads than on wide roads.
Late: This setting warns the driver when a whee l drives over the
detected lane boundary line.
Se ttin g th e steering wheel vibration
When adjusting the steering wheel vibration, the steering wheel
vibrates so that you can check the intensity you have set.
[ i ] Tips
• When making the adjustment, lane assist is not activated . The
steering whee l vibrates briefly only to assist you in changing the
setting .
• Your settings are automatically stored and assigned to the
