No monitoringIn the event of faults, Tire Pressure Monitoring
cannot monitor the tire pressure.
The warning light on the instrument panel lights up
and a corresponding message appears on the
multi-function display.
Monitoring is not active:
– if Tire Pressure Monitoring is faulty,
– if wheel transmitters for Tire Pressure Monitoring are missing,
– during the learning phase after the tire settings have been updated,
– after a wheel change without updating the tire settings,
– if more than four wheel transmitters are recognized,
– if there is external interference by other radio sources, e.g. wireless headphones,
– if tire temperatures are too high.

Driving and Driving Safety
Possible distance settings
Automatic braking to a stopIf the vehicle in front stops, adaptive cruise control
will slow your vehicle down
to a stop provided this
is possible within the control limits of the system.
The display lights up on the instrument panel.
The vehicle is actively held at a stop.
For information on the HOLD function:
f Please see the chapter “HOLD FUNCTION:
DRIVE-OFF ASSISTANT AND STANDSTILL
MANAGEMENT” on page 206.
Note
Depending on the traffic flow, e.g. slow moving
traffic, stopping is initiated by a slow crawling
phase which ends in vehicle standstill.
Caution!
Brake pedal feels different. When adaptive
cruise control is operating normally or when
the HOLD function is active, the brake pedal
may feel different and you may hear
hydraulic noises.
This behavior is no rmal for the system.
It is not a fault.
Driving off againThe vehicle can be driven off again after being
stopped and speed and distance control will be
resumed, depending on the operating state of the
adaptive cruise control system.
For information on the operating states of the
adaptive cruise control system:
fPlease see the chapter “OPERATING STATES
WHEN ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL IS
SWITCHED ON” on page 182.
Adaptive cruise control active
1. Press the control stalk on the steering wheel up (position 4, RESUME ).
2. Briefly press the accelerator pedal. Your vehicle drives on automatically.
Note
Your vehicle will not drive off if the vehicle
detected in front is stationary.
Adaptive cruise control is ready
Automatic speed and distance control can only
be resumed when your vehicle is moving.
1. Drive off normally.
2. Press the control stalk on the steering wheel up (position 4, RESUME ).
or
Set or change the desired speed.
Suitable for speedy driving in lines of
traffic. The time headway is 1 second.
This corresponds to 36 yd. (33 meters)
at a speed of 75 mph (120 km/h).
Suitable for driving comfortably in lines
of traffic. The time headway is
1.3 seconds. This corresponds to
47 yd. (43 meters) at a speed of
75 mph (120 km/h).
Preset distance
Corresponds to the general
recommendation of the road traffic
safety regulation (“two seconds time
headway”). The time headway is
1.8 seconds. This corresponds to
66 yd. (60 meters) at a speed of
75 mph (120 km/h).
Suitable for driving on country roads.
The time headway is 2.3 seconds.
This corresponds to 63 yd. (58 meters)

resumed again when the vehicle is moving and no
stationary objects are detected in front.
Warning messagesIf adaptive cruise control is not active, the control
system still monitors the distance from the vehicle
in front.
If the distance from the ve hicle in front is less than
the desired distance that was set last, a yellow
warning triangle appears on the multi-function
display.
Warning!
Risk of accidents. Danger of collision with the
vehicle in front.
