The concept
The indicator and warning lamps can light up in
a variety of combinations and colors.
Several of the lamps are checked for proper
functioning when the engine is started or the
ignition is switched on, and light up briefly.
Text messages Text messages at the upper edge of the Con‐
trol Display explain the meaning of the dis‐
played indicator and warning lamps.
Supplementary text messages
You can call up more information, e.g., on the
cause of a malfunction and on how to respond,
via Check Control, refer to page 85.
In urgent cases, this information will be shown
as soon as the corresponding lamp comes on.

The shoulder strap's anchorage point will be
correct for adult seat occupants of every build
if the seat is correctly adjusted, refer to
page 49.
The two rear safety belt buckles integrated
into the rear seat are for passengers sitting on
the left and right. The belt buckle embossed
with the word CENTER is intended exclusively
for use by passengers riding in the center posi‐
tion.
Safety belt reminder for the driver's
and front passenger seat
The indicator lamp lights up and a
signal sounds. In addition, a message
appears on the Control Display.
Check whether the safety belt has been fas‐
tened correctly.
The safety belt reminder is active at speeds
above approx. 5 mph/8 km/h. It can also be ac‐
tivated if objects are placed on the front pas‐
senger seat.
Damage to safety belts In the case of strain caused by accidents or
damage:
Have the safety belts, including the safety belt
tensioners, replaced and have the belt anchors
checked.
Checking and replacing safety belts
Have the work performed only by your
service center; otherwise, it cannot be ensured
that this safety feature will function properly.◀
Belt-force limiter
The effect of the belt-force limiter on the driv‐
er's seat is dependent on the position of the
driver's seat.
To maintain the long-term accuracy of this
function, the driver's seat must be calibrated if
a corresponding message is displayed on the
Control Display.
Calibrating driver's seat The warning lamp lights up. A mes‐
sage also appears on the Control Dis‐
play. Please calibrate the driver's
seat.1.Move the driver's seat forward until it
stops.2.Move the driver's seat forward again. It
briefly moves toward the front in the proc‐
ess.3.Set the desired seating position again.
The calibration is completed when the mes‐
sage on the Control Display disappears.
Should this message continue to be displayed,
repeat the calibration. If the message does not
disappear even after repeated calibration, have
the system checked as soon as possible.
Do not carry out calibration while the ve‐
hicle is moving
Never carry out calibration while the vehicle is
moving, as this can cause accidents.
Make sure that no persons or objects become
wedged during the calibration process, as this
can cause injuries or damage.◀
Head restraints Correctly adjusted head restraints
A correctly adjusted head restraint reduces the
risk of spinal injury in the event of an accident.
Adjusting the head restraint
Correctly adjust the head restraints of all
occupied seats; otherwise, there is an in‐
creased risk of injury in an accident.◀

The turning lamps are automatically switched
on depending on the steering angle or the use
of turn signals.
To avoid blinding oncoming traffic, the Adap‐
tive Light Control does not swivel to the driv‐
er's side when the vehicle is at a standstill.

High-beam Assistant
The concept When the lights are switched on, this systemautomatically switches the high beams on and
off. The procedure is controlled by a sensor on
the front of the interior rearview mirror. The as‐
sistant ensures that the high beams are
switched on whenever the traffic situation al‐
lows. The driver can intervene at any time and
switch the high beams on and off as usual.
Activating the High-beam Assistant1.Turn the light switch to .2.With the low beams switched on, briefly
push the turn indicator lever in the direc‐
tion of the high beam.

cluster lights up. The high beams are
switched on and off automatically.

Interrupting the system
Press the lever up or down and additionally de‐
press the brake if the vehicle is stationary. The
mark in the speedometer changes color and
the distance indicator goes out.
In addition, the system is interrupted:
▷When the brakes are applied.▷When the transmission position D is disen‐
gaged.▷When DTC is activated or DSC is deacti‐
vated.▷When DSC is activated▷When the safety belt and the driver's door
are opened while the vehicle is stationary.▷When the system has not detected objects
for an extended period, e.g., on a road with
very little traffic without road edge line
markings.▷The radar sensor is dirty.
Active intervention if the system is inter‐
rupted
If the system is interrupted, actively intervene
by braking and, if necessary, with evasive ma‐
neuvers; otherwise, there is the danger of an
accident occurring.◀

brake. Otherwise, the vehicle may begin to
roll.◀
If a vehicle detected ahead of you slows to a
halt and your vehicle is also brought to a halt
by the system:▷If the vehicle ahead of you drives away,
your vehicle accelerates automatically as
long as mark 1 for the desired speed in the
speedometer is green.▷If the vehicle ahead of you drives away
when mark 1 is orange, depress the accel‐
erator briefly or press button 4.Rolling bars
in the distance indicator 3 mean that the
vehicle ahead of you has driven away.
If you are standing behind a vehicle with your
brake pedal depressed and the system is de‐
activated or interrupted:
1.Select the desired speed using the lever,
arrow 1 or arrow 2, or press button 4 to re‐
trieve a stored speed.2.Release the brake pedal.3.When the vehicle ahead of you drives
away, press on the accelerator briefly or
press button 4.
Deactivating the system
