Operating Description
161
The Cruise Control System (CCS) maintains a set speed without you having to
actuate the accelerator pedal.
The state where the CCS maintains the speed is referred to hereinafter as the
control .
WARNING■
The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 142, in section Introduction .■
After pressing the clutch pedal, no interrupted control occurs! For exam-
ple, if a different gear is engaged and the clutch pedal is released, control is
continued.

Control active (in the colour display the digits of the speed limits are high-
lighted).
No speed set.
System fault - seek assistance from a specialist garage immediately.
Basic requirements for start of control The CCS is activated.
On vehicles with a manual transmission , the second gear or higher is en-
gaged.
On vehicles with an automatic transmission , the selector lever is in the
D/S position or in the Tiptronic position.
The current speed is higher than approx. 20 km/h.
This is only possible within the range which is permitted by the power output and braking power of the engine.
WARNINGIf the engine power and engine braking effect is insufficient to maintain
the set speed, vehicle operation must be taken over!Operating DescriptionFig. 198

If no speed is set the current speed is adopted.
At the start of the regulation the CCS regulates the vehicle to the current
speed, and this speed is shown on the instrument cluster display. The warning
light  illuminates in the instrument cluster.
Automatic control interruption
Automatic control interruption occurs if any of the following conditions are
met.
▶ The brake pedal is operated.
▶ When one of the brake assist systems (e.g. ESC) intervenes.
▶ Through an airbag deployment.
▶ By pressing the button

WARNING■
Always deactivate the cruise control system after use to prevent the sys-
tem being switched on unintentionally.■
Control may only be resumed if the set speed is not too high for the cur-
rent traffic conditions. 

If no speed limit is set, the current speed is set as the speed limit.
At the start of the regulation, the current speed is set as the speed limit and
displayed in the instrument cluster display. The warning light  illuminates in
the instrument cluster.
Exceeding the speed limit during the regulation
If exceeding the speed limit is required during the regulation, for example
when overtaking, then the accelerator pedal is to be fully pressed.
When exceeding the speed limit, an acoustic signal sounds and the warning
light in the instrument cluster flashes.
The regulation is resumed once the speed has fallen below the set limit.
CAUTIONWhen driving downhill, exceeding the set speed limit may occur. When exceed-
ing the limit, an acoustic signal sounds and the warning light in the instru-
ment cluster flashes.
Note
By pressing the button D » Fig. 201 during the regulation this is cancelled and
the CCS is activated.

The Adaptive Cruise Control (hereinafter referred to as ACC) maintains the set
speed or the distance to the vehicle ahead without the accelerator or brake
pedal being pressed.
The front of the vehicle and the distance to the vehicle ahead is monitored by
a radar sensor » page 143.
The state in which the ACC maintains the speed or the proximity is described
as control from here on.
WARNING■
The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 142, in section Introduction .■
The driver must always be ready to take over steering of the vehicle him-
self (accelerate or brake). 
163Assist systems

Normal
Read and observe on page 171 first.
This mode is suitable for a conventional driving.
Sport
mode
Read and observe
on page 171 first.
This mode is suitable for a sporty driving.
Selecting this mode primarily affects the function of the following systems.
DCC
The DCC adjusts the chassis for the sporty driving style.
Steering
The power steering is reduced slightly, i.e., the driver needs to exert more
force for steering .
Engine / drive
The vehicle acceleration is more dynamic than in
Normal
mode.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
The acceleration is quicker than in
Normal
mode with distance control
» page 163 .
Xenon headlight
The headlamps adapt to the driving style more dynamically than in mode
Nor-mal
» page 69 .
ProActive passenger protection
The first level of protection is deactivated » page 173.
Eco
mode
Read and observe
on page 171 first.
This mode is suitable for a relaxed style of driving and helps to save fuel.
Selecting this mode primarily affects the function of the following systems.
Engine / drive
Vehicle acceleration is more relaxed than in
Normal
mode.
The recommended gear is controlled such to achieve the lowest possible fuel
consumption » page 42.
When the START-STOP system was deactivated manually » page 130, it is au-
tomatically activated.
The automatic gearbox is set automatically to mode E » page 135 .
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Acceleration occurs more relaxed than in Normal
» page 163 mode with distance
control.
Xenon headlight
The system is in economic mode » page 69. The headlamps are in basic setting
and do not adapt to the direction of travel.
Air conditioning (Climatronic)
The air conditioning is controlled so as to save energy. For this reason, for ex-
ample, it may take longer to reach the desired interior temperature in mode
Normal
.
Note
■ The mode Eco is not available when towing a trailer or when another acces-
sory is connected to the trailer socket. If the vehicle is in drive mode Eco
and a
trailer is hitched up or another accessory is connected, the vehicle is automati-
cally set to the driving mode
Normal
