The different symbols for the time intervals appear if you change the
settings ::::> fig. 132 .
The text message ... (three whi te dots) appears if a setting cannot be
implemented with the operating lever . The following are possib le
reasons :
• If you pull the control lever towards you to resume speed but no
requested speed was set .
• If you push the lever up to increase (or down to reduce) speed
when no speed has been set previously .
• I f you push the lever up to increase (or down to reduce) speed
and this speed is outside the range from 20 to 95 mph (Canada
models : 30 to 150 km/h) .
ACC functi onal it y limited
The text message ACC fun ctio na lit y lim ited appears when the ACC
system does not detect any objects over an extended time period.
For the time being, the distance to vehicles up ahead is not being
Controls and equip ­
ment
controlled . The ACC system is not switched off, so increased alert­
ness is required. The following may be reasons for the text message
ACC Functiona lly limited:
• The ACC sensor is dirty. The ACC system is not reacting, or is not
react ing correctly, to veh ic les traveling ahead.
• I t is possible that you are driving on a road with very light traffic
without anything at the side of the road (e.g. guard rai ls, traffic
signs, trees). As soon as a vehicle is detected by the system again,
it returns to its control range and the text message disappears .
The ACC sensor is located in the right front trim grille::::>
page 118,
fig. 122 . If there is a loss of operation due to heavy contamination,
this area should cleaned to restore proper operation .
ACC not available
The text message ACC not available appears , for example, if the
temperature of the brakes is excessive. Adaptive cruise control is
temporarily not availab le . A warning tone sounds as a reminder .
ACC not a vailable !
The text message ACC not ava ila ble! appears in the event of a
malfunction . Adaptive cru ise control is turned off . A warning tone
sounds as a reminder. Have the system inspected by a qua lified
dea lership .
ACC sensor blo cked !
The text message ACC s ensor blocked ! appears when the ACC
system can no longer guarantee safe detection of objects. Adaptive
cruise control is turned off . A warning tone sounds as a reminder.
To decide whether it is necessary to switch off the ACC (ACC sensor
b locked
!) or if it is only a temporary condition (ACC F unctionally
limited), the system wi ll a lso takes into consideration the outside
temperature and/or the windshield wiper operation.
The ACC senso r is dirty or b locked (e .g . leaves, snow).
The sensor should be cleaned to restore proper sensor function

& WARNING
• Improper reliance on the side assist system can cause colli­
sions and serious personal injury :
- Never rely only on side assist when changing lanes .
- Always che ck rear view mirrors to make sure that it is safe to
change lane s.
• Side assist cannot detect all vehicles under all conditions­
danger of ac cident!
• Side assist cannot detect vehicles in time to alert you when
they approach from behind at very high speed, or f all drop back
very quickly.
• The radar sensor 's
vision can be reduced or entirely blocked by
rain , snow , and heavy spray . This can result in side assist not
adequately detecting vehicles or , in some cases, not dete cting
them at all . Always keep an eye on the direction you are traveling
and the relevant area around the vehicle .
• Please note that side assist indicates there a re approaching
vehicles , or vehicles in your blind spot , only after your vehicle has
reached a driving speed of at least 19 mph (30 km /h).
• Side assist s ignal does not work around tight corners (turning
radius less than 328 feet or 100 m l.
• Side assist is no replacement for the driver's full attention . The
driver alone is responsible for lane changes and similar driving
maneuvers . Always keep an eye on the direction you are traveling
and the relevant area around the vehicle.

Lane width
Fig. 153 Lanes of a
normal width are in
detection area
Fig. 154 Narrow lanes :
Side assist may detect
vehicles two lanes
away
Side assist's detection area is designed to cover lanes of standard
width to the left and right of your travel lane, depending on whether
you drive in the center of your lane or closer to the edge.
If you drive in narrow lanes, side assist's detection area may also
include other lanes -especially if you tend to drive on the edge of
your lane=> fig. 154. Under these conditions, vehicles can also be detected that are two
lanes away, and side assist then could switch
between the informational and warning stage signals.
When driving in very wide lanes, vehicles in the adjacent lane may
not be detected because they are not inside the detection area. •
Notes

App lies to vehicles : with automat ic transm ission
Dynamic shift program (DSP)
The aut omatic transmission is electronically controlled.
The transmission is se lf adapting and will a ut oma tica lly se lect the
best shift program suited to the driving conditions and driving style.
The transmission will select one of the
eco nom y programs when
you drive at a steady speed or a g radually changing speed without
heavy acceleration. This achieves optimum fuel efficiency, with early
upshifting and delayed downshifting.
The transmission will automatically select the
s p ort y shift programs
when you drive at higher speeds, or with heavy acceleration and
frequent ly changing speeds . Upshifts are delayed to make full use
of engine power . Downshifting takes place at higher engine speeds
than in the economy programs .
The se lect ion of the most su itable shift program is a continuous,
automatic process. The driver can also make the transmission
sw itch to a sporty program by
quick ly pressing down the gas peda l.
This causes the transmission to shift down to a lower gear to
achieve rapid acceleration, e.g. for quickly passing another vehicle .
You do not need to press the gas pedal into the kick-down range.
After the transm ission has upshifted, the original program is
selected accord ing to your driving sty le.
An additiona l shift program allows the automatic transmission to
select the proper gear for uph ill and downhi ll gradients. ..,.
