Traction control systemThe function is active at low speed and trans- fers power from the driving wheel that is spin-ning to the one that is not.
Engine drag control (EDC)EDC (Engine Drag Control) prevents involun-tary wheel locking, e.g. after shifting down orengine braking when driving in low gears onslippery road surfaces. Involuntary wheel locking while driving can, amongst other things, impair the driver's abil-ity to steer the car.
Corner Traction Control (CTC)*CTC compensates for understeer and allowshigher than normal acceleration in a bendwithout wheelspin on the inner wheel, e.g. onan arcing motorway entrance road to quicklyreach the prevailing traffic speed.
Trailer Stability Assist 1Trailer stability assist (p. 312) function is tostabilise the car and trailer combination if itbegins to snake. For more information, seeDriving with a trailer (p. 306).
NOTE
The function is deactivated if the driver selects
Sport mode.

Stability and traction control system (DSTC) - operation
The stability and traction control system (p. 175) (DSTC - Dynamic Stability & TractionControl), helps the driver to avoid skiddingand improves the car's traction.
Selection of level - Sport modeThe stability and traction control system isalways activated - it cannot be switched off. However, the driver can select the
Sport
mode, which allows for a more active driving experience. In Sport mode the system
detects whether the accelerator pedal, steer-ing wheel movements and cornering are moreactive than in normal driving and then allowscontrolled skidding with the rear section up toa certain level before it intervenes and stabil-ises the car. If the driver interrupts a controlled skid by releasing the accelerator pedal then the sta-bility and traction control system intervenesand stabilises the car. With Sport mode, maximum traction is
obtained if the car has become stuck, or when driving on a loose surface - e.g. sand ordeep snow. Sport mode is selected in the menu system
MY CAR. For a description of the menu sys- tem, see MY CAR (p. 103).

–Depress the accelerator pedal fully.
> The combined instrument panel shows
the stored maximum speed with a col- oured mark (5) and the driver can tem-porarily exceed the set maximumspeed - the mark (5) changes colourduring this time from GREEN toWHITE. The speed limiter is automatically reac- tivated after the release of the acceler-ator pedal and the car's speed isslowed down to below the selected/stored maximum speed - the display'smark (5) changes colour from WHITEto GREEN and the car's maximumspeed is again limited.

Speed limiter* - alarm for speed exceeded
A (Speed Limiter) can be regarded as a reverse cruise control - the driver regulatesthe speed using the accelerator pedal but isprevented from accidentally exceeding apre-selected/set speed by the speed limiter. On a steep downhill gradient the speed limit- er's engine braking effect may be inadequateand the selected maximum speed is excee-ded. The driver is alerted about this with anacoustic signal. The signal is active until the driver has slowed to below the selected maximum speed.
NOTE
The alarm is only activated after 5 seconds if the speed has been exceeded by at least3 km/h provided that none of the buttons
or has been depressed during the
last half minute.

Cruise control* - managing speed
The cruise control (CC – Cruise Control) helps the driver to maintain an even speed. It ispossible to activate, set or change the speed.
Activating and setting the speedTo enable cruise control:
• Press the steering wheel button
> The cruise control symbol in the com-
bined instrument panel changes from WHITE to GREY and shows that thecruise control is in standby mode.
To activate cruise control:
• At the required speed - press the steering wheel button
or .
> The current speed is stored in the mem- ory and the combined instrument panel's marking (5) is illuminated/turns WHITE atthe selected speed.
NOTE
Cruise Control cannot be enabled at speeds below 30 km/h.
Changing the speedTo change the stored speed: • Adjust with short presses on
or -
every press gives +/- 5 km/h. The last presses made are stored in the memory.
To adjust +/- 1 km/h: •
Hold down the button and release it atthe required speed.
A temporary increase in speed with the accel- erator pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does notaffect the cruise control setting - the carreturns to the set speed when the acceleratorpedal is released.
NOTE

Adaptive cruise control* - function
The adaptive cruise control (ACC – Adaptive Cruise Control) helps the driver to maintain aneven speed and a safe distance from the vehi-cle ahead. It consists of a cruise control sys-tem and a coordinated spacing system.
Function overview

Warning lamp - braking by driver required
Steering wheel keypad (p. 190)
Radar sensor (p. 197)
WARNING
Adaptive cruise control is not a collision avoidance system. The driver must inter-vene if the system does not detect a vehi-cle in front. The adaptive cruise control does not brake for humans or animals, and not for smallvehicles such as bicycles and motorcy-cles. Nor for oncoming, slow or stationaryvehicles and objects. Do not use the adaptive cruise control, for example, in city traffic, in dense traffic, atjunctions, on slippery surfaces, with a lotof water or slush on the road, in heavyrain/snow, in poor visibility, on windingroads or on slip roads.
Distance to the vehicle ahead (p. 192) is measured primarily by a radar sensor (p.197). Cruise control regulates the speed withacceleration and braking. It is normal for thebrakes to emit a low sound when they arebeing used by the adaptive cruise control.
WARNING
The brake pedal moves when Cruise Con- trol brakes. Do not rest your foot beneaththe brake pedal as it may become trapped.
The adaptive cruise control aims to follow the vehicle ahead in the same lane at a time inter-val set by the driver. If the radar sensor can-not see any vehicle in front then the car willinstead maintain the cruise control's setspeed. This also happens if the speed of thevehicle in front exceeds the cruise control'sset speed. The adaptive cruise control aims to control the speed in a smooth way. In situations thatdemand sudden braking the driver mustbrake himself/herself. This applies with largedifferences in speed, or if the vehicle in frontbrakes heavily. Due to limitations in the radarsensor (p. 197) braking may come unexpect-edly or not at all. The adaptive cruise control can be activated to follow another vehicle at speeds from 30 km/h 7
up to 200 km/h. If the speed falls
below 30 km/h or if the engine speed becomes too low, the cruise control is set instandby mode (p. 193) at which automaticbraking ceases - the driver must then takeover himself/herself to maintain a safe dis-tance to the vehicle ahead.
Warning lamp - braking by driver required
Adaptive cruise control has a braking capacity that is equivalent to more than 40%of the car's braking capacity.
6 NOTE: The illustration is schematic - details may differ depending on car model.
7 Queue Assistant (p. 195) (in cars with automatic gearbox) can operate in the range of 0-200 km/h.

At the same time a speed range is marked:
• the higher speed with the GREEN mark- ing (6) is the pre-programmed speed
• the lower speed is the speed of the car infront.
Changing the speedTo change the stored speed: •
Adjust with short presses on
or -
every press gives +/- 5 km/h. The last presses made are stored in the memory.
If speed is increased using the accelera- tor pedal prior to pressing the
/ but-
ton, then it is the car's current speed when the button is pressed that is storedin the cruise control.
To adjust +/- 1 km/h: • Hold down the button and release it at the required speed.
NOTE
If any of the Cruise Control buttons are held depressed for several minutes then itis blocked and deactivated. To be able toreactivate Cruise Control, the car must bestopped and the engine restarted. In certain situations, cruise control cannot be activated. In this case, the combined instrument panel (p. 200) shows

Adaptive cruise control* - set time interval
The adaptive cruise control (ACC – Adaptive Cruise Control) helps the driver to maintain aneven speed and a safe distance from the vehi-cle ahead.
Different time intervals to thevehicle in front can beselected and shown in thecombined instrument panelas 1-5 horizontal lines - themore lines the longer thetime interval. One line corre-
sponds to approximately 1 second to thevehicle in front, 5 linesapproximately 3 seconds.
To set/change the time distance:
• Turn the thumbwheel on the steering wheel keypad (p. 190) (or use the
/buttons for cars without Speed limiter).
At low speed, when the distances are short, the adaptive cruise control increases the timeinterval slightly. The adaptive cruise control allows the time interval to vary noticeably in certain situationsin order to allow the car to follow the vehiclein front smoothly and comfortably. Note that a short time interval only allows the driver a short time to react and take action ifany unforeseen traffic problem should arise.
