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.

The desired speed set by the driver is displayed by a red LED in the
LED display in the speedometer.
If the desired speed was set between two lines on the speedometer
using th e
[S ET) button , the two closest light diodes will come on
=>
page 124 , fig. 129 .
Controls and equip ­
ment
The system al lows only speeds from 20 to 95 mph (30 to 150 km/h)
to be set. This speed range is faintly i lluminated in the speedometer
(LED ligh ts).
Indicator light s (symbols )
• © Open road : The indicator l ight shows that adaptiv e cruise
control is active and that no object is ahead o f the vehicle. A stored
speed requested is maintained .
• @ Driv ing in traffic : The indicator light indicates tha t an objec t
has been detected traveling in front. Your speed is adjusted
according to the speed of the vehicle in front . The adap tive cruise
control acce lerates and brakes automatical ly within the system's
operat ion parameters.
• ©
Driver inter venti on prompt : The red flashing warning l ight
means
Reque st for driver t o assume control. You as the driver must
slow the vehic le with the foot brake. The symbol tells you that the
adaptive cr uise control is not able to slow the vehicle down enough
to keep a enough distance to the vehicle in front of you . An warning
tone wi ll a lso sound when the symbol appears . For more informa ­
tion about the driver intervention prompt =>
page 128.
[ i ] Tip s
• If you use the acce lerato r to go faster than the speed of the
object ahead of you, the
dri ver intervent ion prompt wi ll not be
accompanied by a wa rning signal.
• I f the speed you previous ly set is exceeded, the indicator light in
the speedomete r wi ll switch off. •

sta tus i ndicator
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

• T he text DISTANCE! appears in the status line.
• The indicator light in the Instrument cluster blinks red.
• A warning tone sounds.
[ i] Tip s
• I f the adaptive cruise control initiates braking, the hydraulic
brake system is under pressure. Therefore, the brake peda l distance
is shorter and the pedal "feels" harder.
• Adaptive cruise control is switched off after pressing the foot­
brake . The speed saved up this point can be resumed.
• To resume the saved speed, release the brake pedal and press
the control lever~
page 122, "Turning adaptive cruise control off
temporarily".
• I f you use the accelerator t o go faster than the speed of the
object ahead of you, the
dri ver inter vention prompt will not be
accompanied by a wa rning signal.
• I f the speed you previously set is exceeded, the indicator light in
the speed ometer will switch off .•

- Press t he bu tton again. The in dicato r ligh t on the but to n
g oes ou t.
The system works at speeds faster than 19 mph (30 km/h) .
& 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.

• T o ensure t hat you do n ot adve rsely affect side ass is t, do not
block the area on the rear b umper whe re the radar sensors a re
