CockpitVehicle equipment
All standard, country-specific and optional
equipment that is offered in the model series is
described in this chapter. Therefore, equip‐ment is also described that is not available in a
vehicle, e. g., because of the selected optional
equipment or country variant. This also applies
for safety-related functions and systems.

Therefore, drive into a curve at an appropriate
speed.
In tight curves, situations may result due to the
restricted detection range of the system in
which a vehicle driving ahead of you may not
be detected at all, or not until after a consider‐
able delay.
When approaching a curve, the system may
react briefly to the vehicles in the next lane due
to the bend of the curve. Any deceleration of
the vehicle by the system can be compensated
for by briefly accelerating. After the accelerator
pedal is released, the system becomes active
again and independently controls the speed.
Driving away In some situations, the vehicle cannot drive
away automatically, e.g., on steep inclines or
behind bumps in the road.
Radar sensor
For US owners only
The transmitter and receiver units comply with
part 15 of the FCC/Federal Communication
Commission regulations. Operation is gov‐
erned by the following:
FCC ID:
▷OAYARS3-A
Compliance statement:
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
▷This device may not cause harmful inter‐
ference, and▷this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
Any unauthorized modifications or changes to
these devices could void the user's authority to
operate this equipment.
Malfunction
The system cannot be activated if the radar sensor is not aligned correctly. This may be
caused by damage incurred during parking, for
example.
A Check Control message is displayed if the
system fails.
The function for detecting and responding
when approaching stationary vehicles may be limited in the following situation:
▷During calibration of the camera immedi‐
ately after vehicle shipment.▷If the camera is malfunctioning or dirty. A
Check Control message is displayed.
Congestion Assistant
The concept In congestion situations, the system controls
the speed, steers independently and keeps the
vehicle in the lane.
To the extent possible, the system automati‐
cally adjusts the speed to a slower vehicle
ahead of you. The distance that the vehicle
maintains to the vehicle ahead of you can be
varied. For safety reasons, it depends on the
speed. To maintain a certain distance, the sys‐
tem automatically decelerates, applies the
brakes lightly, or accelerates again if the vehi‐
cle ahead begins moving faster.
When lane markings are detected, the system
keeps the vehicle in the lane. For this purpose,
the system steers independently as needed,
for example, during cornering.

General information
The congestion assistant determines speed
and distance from the vehicle in front via a ra‐
dar sensor and the position of the lane marking
via a camera.
Sensors on the steering wheel detect whether
the steering wheel is being touched.
The system is deactivated as soon as contact
with the steering wheel is no longer detected.
In order to be able to use the Congestion As‐
sistant, place your hands around the steering
wheel.
When driving with gloves or with protective
covers, contact with the steering wheel cannot
be detected by the sensors. The system in this
case cannot be used.
Notes Personal responsibility
The system does not relieve the driver of
the responsibility to adapt his or her speed,
distance and driving style to the traffic condi‐
tions. Drive attentively, and react to the current
traffic events. Intervene actively when neces‐
sary, e.g., by braking, steering or making an
evasive maneuver, otherwise, there is danger
of an accident.◀
Functional requirements▷Drive on approved road type. The data on
this are stored in the navigation system.▷Driving on the limited access highway or
divided lane roads.▷Sufficient lane width.▷Lane marking is detected.▷Vehicle driving ahead is detected.▷Speed below 25 mph/40 km/h.▷Both hands on the steering wheel rim.At a glance

Radar sensor
A radar sensor is located in the front bumper
for detecting vehicles on the road ahead of the
vehicle.
A dirty or covered sensor may hinder the de‐
tection of vehicles.
▷If necessary, clean the radar sensor. Re‐
move layers of snow and ice carefully.▷Do not cover the view field of the radar
sensor.Seite 137Driving comfortControls137

Camera
The camera is located near the base of the
mirror.
Keep the windshield in the area behind the in‐
terior rearview mirror clean and clear.
Switching on/off and pausingSwitching on Press the button.
▷Prepare system: press once.▷Activate system:
The system is automatically activated be‐
low 25 mph/40 km/h.
If the ACC is not activated: press wiper.
With ACC activated: system is ready.
If ACC is not activated: indicator lamp
in the instrument cluster comes on.
If ACC is not activated: indicator lamp
in the instrument cluster comes on.
Congestion Assistant can be used.
With Congestion Assistant switched on, the
Pedestrian Warning system is active.
Switching off Deactivated or interrupted system
If the system is deactivated or inter‐
rupted, actively intervene by braking, steering
and, if necessary, with evasive maneuvers; oth‐
erwise, there is the danger of an accident oc‐
curring.◀
Press the button.
The indicator goes out. Stored desired speed
and distance are still kept by the ACC.
The system no longer steers independently.
Interrupting When active, press the button.
The system is automatically interrupted in the
following situations:▷At a speed above 25 mph/40 km/h.▷With only one detected lane marking.▷When you leave the limited access high‐
way.▷When you leave the divided lane road.▷When the steering wheel is released.▷When steering intervention is active.▷When you leave your own lane.▷With incorrect vehicle ahead.▷When the turn signal is on.
Red flashing and signal tone:
Congestion Assistant is interrupted.
The system no longer steers independ‐
ently. ACC exercises control.
If the system conditions are met, the system
reactivates automatically.

System limits
When driving within narrow driving lanes, e.g.,
in construction zones or rescue lanes, the sys‐
tem cannot be activated or meaningfully used.
Limited detection capacity
Because of the limits to the detection ca‐
pacity of the camera and the sensor, you
should be alert at all times so that you can in‐
tervene actively, if necessary; otherwise, there
is the danger of an accident occurring.◀
Complying with country-specific laws
When the Congestion Assistant is used,
observe specific national laws.◀
Cruise control
The concept The system is functional at speeds beginning
at approx. 20 mph/30 km/h.
It maintains the speed that was set using the
control elements on the steering wheel.
The system brakes on downhill gradients if en‐
gine braking action is insufficient.
Unfavorable conditions
Do not use the system if unfavorable
conditions make it impossible to drive at a con‐
stant speed, for instance:
▷On curvy roads.Seite 139Driving comfortControls139
