may vary, depending on the type of display in your vehicle. The indi­
cator light
CRUISE (US model)/ (7)0 (Canadian model) will also light up
in the instrument cluster .
The speed is kept constant by modifying engine power or through
an active brake intervention.
& WARNING
• Always pay attention to the traffic around you when the cruise
control is in operation. You are always responsible for your speed
and the distance between your vehicle and other vehicles.
• For reasons of safety, cruise control should not be used in the
city, in stop-and-go traffic, on twisting roads and when road condi­
tions are poor (such as ice, fog, gravel, heavy rain and hydro­
planing) -you could have an accident.
• Switch the cruise control off temporarily when driving in
turning lanes, highway exits or in construction zones.
• Please note that unconsciously "resting" your foot on the
accelerator pedal causes cruise control not to brake. This is due to
the control system being overridden by the driver's acceleration.
[ i] Tips
• Vehicles with manual transmission: You can attain the set speed
only if the gear that is currently engaged will allow it, or if it does not tax the engine and allows it to run smoothly. Therefore shift into
a higher or lower gear in a timely manner.
• The brake lights illuminate as soon as the brakes apply
automatically .•
Changing speed
- Press the lever in the direction of the 0 ~ page 115,
fig. 120 or in the direction of the Q to increase or
decrease your speed. -
Let go of the lever to save that speed.
Change speed in increments of 1 mph (1 km/hi by lightly pressing
the lever . If you keep the lever pressed down, you will alter your
speed in 5 mph (10 km/hi increments.
You can also press the accelerator pedal down to increase your speed, e.g. if you want to pass someone. The speed you saved
earlier will resume as soon as you let off of the accelerator pedal.
If, however, you exceed your saved speed by 5 mph (10 km/h) for
longer than 5 minutes, the cruise control will be turned off tempo­
rarily. The green symbol in the display turns white, the saved speed
is retained .•
Pre -selecting speed
You can pre-select your desired speed while the vehicle is
not moving.
Turn on the ignition.
- Pull lever into position 1
~ page 115, fig. 120.
Press the lever in the
0 or Q direction to increase or
decrease your speed.
- Let go of the lever to save that speed.
This function makes it possible, for example, to save the speed you
want before driving on the highway. Once on the highway, activate
the cruise control by pulling the lever toward

& WARNING (continued)
• Always turn off adaptive cruise control when entering turn
lanes, highway exit lanes and construction zones or similar situa­
tions because the vehicle will automatically accelerate to the
stored speed.
• Never rest your foot on the accelerator pedal, especially when
the adaptive cruise control is being used because doing so will override the braking function and prevent the brakes from being
applied by the system when it detects a situation when the brakes
must be applied.
• Always remember that the adaptive cruise control has limits -
it does not react when you drive towards an obstacle or some­
thing else on or near the road that is not moving, such as vehicles stopped in a traffic jam, a stalled or disabled vehicle.
• Always remember that the adaptive cruise control cannot
detect a vehicle that is driving towards you in your traffic lane and
that it cannot detect narrow vehicles such as motorcycles and
bicycles .
[ i] Tips
• For safety reasons, the stored speed is deleted when the ignition
is turned off.
• The Electronic Stabilization Program (ESP) and the Anti -Slip
Regulation (ASR) cannot be deactivated when the adaptive cruise
control is switched on. If the ESP and the Anti -Slip Regulation (ASR)
has been deactivated and you then switch on the adaptive cruise
control, the ESP function will also be activated automatically.
• Damage caused by accidents (e.g. if the vehicle is damaged
when parking) can affect the radar sensor settings. This can cause
the system to malfunction or switch off completely.
• The radar sensor cover is heated. In winter conditions, you
should still check before driving to make sure it is free of ice and
snow. If necessary, clean the area near the radar sensor carefully
=>
page 118, fig. 122.
Controls and equip ­
ment
• To ensure that the radar sensor is not blocked, foreign objects
(e.g. stickers, add -on parts) must not cover the area near the radar
sensor=>
page 118, fig. 122. The area near the radar sensor must
not be painted, either.
• For Declaration of Compliance to United States FCC and Industry
Canada regulations =>

measurement range
A radar sensor is built into the front of the vehicle=> fig. 123, which
is subject to certain system limits=>
page 130. Stationary objects
are not taken into consideration. The system is intended to measure
the distance to reflective surfaces. The system responds after the
distance measurement has taken place. If a measurement is not
possible, the system does not respond.
Open road
When the road is clear, the adaptive cruise control works like cruise
control. It maintains a constant target speed specified by the driver .~

How is the speed stored ?
Fig. 125 Control lever:
Storing speed
With the system switched on the speed is stored as follows:
- Drive at the speed you want. The speed must be between
20 and 95 mph (30 and 150 km/hl.
- Press the
I SET I button ~ fig. 125 to store the desired
speed.
After the I SET j button is released , the current speed is stored and
maintained .
The saved speed is now shown in the LED display in the speedom ­
eter by one or two illuminated red light diodes=>
page 125. At the
same time, the saved spe ed is also shown for a short time in the

When setting the distance , the driver is responsible for adhering
to the respective national and country -specific regulations.
• Following other vehicles too closely increases the risk of colli­
sions 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 use good judgment and select a safe following distance
for the traffic , road and weather conditions.
