The dis ta nce le ve l to the ve hi cle ahead is se t u sing
the© button on the multifun ction stee ring wheel
~Fig. 168 . The ACC disp la y appears whe n the
button is pressed ~page 227. To se t th e dis ta nce
level, press the (1) button .
When the hig hes t lev el is reached, the distance re­
turns to the low est level when th e butt on is press­
ed again.
The distance level can also be set usi ng the Q or
8 buttons on the mult ifun ction stee ring wheel im­
mediately after the (1) button on the mult ifunction
steering whee l ~Fig. 168 has been pressed .
The~ button and the G and (Dnver ass1stance )
function buttons in the infotainment system can be
used to set the dista nce level that should be selec­
ted when the ACC is sw itched on ~page 31 .
Setting the driving programme
In vehicles with Driving Mode Selection , the selec­
t~d driving mode can affect the vehicle 's accelera­
tion response ~page 248.
The following driving modes can be selected :
• Normal
• Sport
• Eco
In v h' . e lcles Without Driving Mode Selection , the ac-
Celeration response can be affected by the driving
rnode s I IT.Dl ~a e ected by pressing the ~ butto.n and _ the
I . nd @nver assistance ) function buttons 1n the 1nfo­a1nrne t n system ~page 31 .
The following conditions can prevent the
adaptive cruise control from reacting:
• If the the acce le rator is depressed.
• If no g ear is selected .
• If the ESC is taking corre ctive action .
• If the driv er h as no t f astened seat belt.
• If there is a fau lt in seve ral brake lights on the
v e hicle or on a traile r with an electrical
connection
to the vehic le .
• If the vehicle is reve rsing .
• If the vehicle is travelling faster than approxi ­
mately 160 km/h (100 mph).
A WARNING
If you close the gap to a vehicle in front and
the difference in speed between the two vehi­
cles is so great that the braking action of the
ACC is insufficient, you are in danger of col­
liding with the vehicle in front. You should re­
duce the vehicle speed immediately with the
foot brake.
• The ACC may not be able to recognise all
driving situations correctly.
• Leaving your foot on the accelerator will
mean that the ACC will not brake automatical­
ly. This is because manual acceleration over­
rides the system.
• You should always be prepared to brake
the vehicle yourself.
• Observe country-specific regulations re­
garding the minimum distance.
rn
The set speed will be deleted if the ig nition or
the ACC is switched off.
rn
The ACC is automatically deactivated when
the tract ion control system (T CS ) is deactiva-
ted .
rn
In vehicles with a start/stop system, the e n ­
g ine is switched off automatical ly during the
stat ionary phase of ACC and is then restarted for
moving off. Driver assist systems 231

Stationary phase (only vehicles with
autornatic gearbox)
If the adap tive cruise control has decele ra t d the
vehicle to a standstill, the adapt.ive cruise contr o l
will not be switched off automatically wh en the
brake pedal is depressed .
The electronic parking brake will be activated auto4
matically and the adap tive cruise control will be
switched off if one of the following situations occurs
while the vehicle is stationary:
• The safety be lt is unfastened .
• The driver's door is opened.
• The ignition is switched off.
• The stationary phase lasts longer than approxi4
mately 3 minutes .
Driving off after a stationary phase (only
vehicles with automatic gearbox)
After a stationary phase, the adaptive cruise con­
trol can start the vehicle moving automatically as
soon as the vehicle in front begins to move again.
Overtaking
If the turn signal is activated when starting an over­
taking manoeuvre , the adaptive cruise control ac­
celerates the vehicle automatically and thus re­
duces the distance to the vehicle in front.
If you move your vehicle into the overtaking lane
and there is no vehicle ahead of you , the ACC will
automatically increase the speed to your set level
and maintain it.
Acceleration can be stopped at any point
by de­
Pressing the brake pedal or pressing the @ button
on the multifunction steering wheel ~page 229.
When driving through bends
While dr iving through bends, the radar sensor may
sometimes lose the ve hicle travelling ahead or
rnay r eac t to a ve hicle in the next lane
; Fig. 169 A. In such situations, the vehicle might
.
ecel e rate unnec essarily or not react to the veh icle
In front. In this case the driver must override the
Abcc by depressing the accelerator, or interrupt the rak· lng procedure by depressing the brake peda l
or Pressing the ~ button on the multifunction
ste · ~ enng wh eel ~page 229.

A WARNING ~~-~ ,c_. ""]
Incor rec t handling of the wheels and tyres
can lead to a sudden loss of pressure in the
tyres , trea d separation and even tyre blow­out.
• Check tyre pressures regularly and always
keep to the specified tyre pressure value. If
the tyre pressure is too low, the tyre could
warm up to such an extent that the tread may
separate and the tyre could burst
~e monitor indicator lamp
• Always maintain correct cold tyre inflation
pressure as listed on the tyre pressure label
=>page 308 .
• Check tyre inflation pressure regularly
when the tyres are cold. Adjust tyre pressure
in the cold tyre to the recommended tyre
pressure for the tyres installed on your vehi­
cle as necessary.
• Check your tyres regularly for signs of
w ea r or damage.
• Never exceed the top speed and load per­
mitted for the fitted tyres.
CQ"' Und er-in nated tyres w111 increase fuel con­
(Jtf sumption and tyre wear.
m When new tyres are dnven at high speeds for
W the firs t time, they can expand slightly and
trigger a one-off pressure

Calibrating
the tyre monitor display
The tyre monitor display will have to be re-ca libra­ted after changing the tyre pressure . or after
c h anging one or more wheels. Th is also applies when wheels are swapped, e.g . from the front to the rear.

• Switch on the ignition .
• Open the Tyre monitor display menu op­tion in the infotai nment system display ~page 31.
• Touch the @ID function button .
• If all 4 wheels are se t to the correct va lues,
t o uc h the (Co nfirm ) function button to store the tyre
p ressu re s.
• To uc hing the (cancel) button w ill prevent the cu r­
rent tyre pressures from being stored and the sys­tem will n ot be cali brated .
During normal ve hi cle operation , the
system cali­
br ates itse lf independently to the the fitted tyres
and the tyre pressures filled by the
driver. The cali­
brated values are accepted and monitored after a
l ong journey at vari ous speeds .
If the wheels are loaded more heavily than normal,
e .g . if the veh icle is ca rrying hea vy payload, the
tyre press ure must be rais ed to the r
ecommended full-load tyre pressure before calibration =>page 308.
