pedal.
The vehicle symbol flashes red and an
acoustic signal sounds:
You are requested to intervene by brak‐
ing or make an evasive maneuver.
The system has been interrupted or dis‐
tance control is temporarily suppressed

System limits
Speed range The system is best used on well-constructed
roads. The system is functional at speeds be‐
ginning at approx. 20 mph/30 km/h.
The max. speed that can be set is
85 mph/140 km/h.Comply with the legal speed limit and safety
distance in every situation when using the sys‐
tem.
Detection range
The detection lidacity of the system and the au‐
tomatic braking lidacity are limited.
Two-wheeled vehicles for instance might not
be detected.
Limited detection potential
Because the camera detection system's
potential is limited, you should be alert at all
times so that you can intervene actively, if
needed; otherwise, there is the risk of an acci‐
dent. ◀
Deceleration
The system does not decelerate for:
▷Pedestrians, cyclists or similar slow road
users.▷Red traffic lights.▷Cross traffic.▷Oncoming traffic.▷Unlit vehicles or vehicles with defective
lighting at night.Seite 117Driving comfortCONTROLS117

Cruise controlThe 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 is insufficient.
Unfavorable conditions
Do not use the system if unfavorable con‐
ditions make it impossible to drive at a constant
speed, e.g.:▷On winding roads.▷In heavy traffic.▷On slippery roads, in fog, snow or rain, or
on a loose road surface.
Otherwise, you could lose control of the vehicle
and cause an accident. ◀
General information
The system is functional at speeds beginning at
approx. 20 mph/30 km/h.
Depending on the set drive mode, refer to
page 111, the features of the cruise control can
change in certain areas.

False warnings
PDC may issue a warning under the following
conditions even though there is no obstacle
within the detection range:▷In heavy rain.▷When sensors are very dirty or covered with
ice.▷When sensors are covered in snow.▷On rough road surfaces.▷On uneven surfaces, such as speed bumps.▷In large buildings with right angles and
smooth walls, e.g., in underground garages.▷Through heavy pollution.▷Due to other ultrasound sources, e.g.,
sweeping machines, high pressure steam
cleaners or neon lights.
The malfunction is signaled by a continuous
tone alternating between the front and rear
speakers. As soon as the malfunction due
to other ultrasound sources is no longer
present, the system is again fully functional.
Malfunction
A Check Control message, refer to page 73, is
displayed in the instrument cluster.
Red symbol is displayed, and the range
of the sensors is dimmed on the Control
Display.
PDC has failed. Have the system checked.
To ensure full functionality:
▷Keep the sensors clean and free of ice.▷dimmedDo not put any stickers on sensors.▷When using high-pressure washers, do not
spray the sensors for long periods and
maintain a distance of at least 12 in/30 cm.Rearview camera
The concept
The rearview camera provides assistance in
parking and maneuvering backwards. The area
behind the vehicle is shown on the Control Dis‐
play.
Hints Check the traffic situation as well
Check the traffic situation around the ve‐
hicle with your own eyes. Otherwise, an acci‐
dent could result from road users or objects
that are not lidtured by the camera. ◀
