If several drivers each use their own remote
control, the vehicle will adapt to their personal
settings when it is unlocked. These settings
are also resaved if the vehicle is used in the in‐
tervening period by someone with a different
remote control.
Changes to settings are saved automatically in
the personal profile.
Three personal profiles and a guest profile can
be created.
Settings
Settings for the following systems and func‐
tions are saved in the active profile. The extent
of settings that can be saved depends on the
country and equipment.▷Unlocking and locking.▷Light.▷Air conditioning.▷Radio.▷Instrument cluster.▷Favourites buttons.▷Volumes, sound.▷Control Display.▷Navigation.▷TV.▷Park Distance Control PDC.▷Rear-view camera.▷Side view.▷Head-Up Display.▷M Drive: configurations.▷Driver's seat position, exterior mirror posi‐

Calling up profiles Independently of the remote control that is
used, another profile can be called up.

Launch Control
Principle
Launch Control allows optimum acceleration
when driving off on a non-slip road surface.
General
Using Launch Control leads to preliminary component wear, as this function represents a
very heavy load for the vehicle.
Do not use Launch Control when running in,
see page 162.
Requirements
Launch Control is available with an engine at
operating temperature, so after an uninterrup‐
ted drive of at least 10 km, approximately
6 miles.
To start with Launch Control, do not engage
the steering wheel.
Activating Launch Control1.Deactivate Dynamic Stability Control, see
page 124.2.Select sequential mode with gear 1 and
drive program 3.3.With the engine running, depress the brake
with the left foot.4.Depress accelerator pedal fully.
The engine speed when driving off is regu‐
lated.
The flag symbol appears in the instrument
cluster.5.Using the Cruise Control, change the en‐
gine speed when driving off by 500 rpm.6.Release brake, vehicle accelerates. Con‐
tinue to press accelerator pedal.
Upshifting happens automatically as long
as the accelerator pedal is fully depressed.
Launch Control is only available again after a
certain distance has been travelled.
System limits
This gearbox has overheat protection, which
protects the clutch against extreme loads.
▷Indicator light illuminates yellow:
gearbox too hot.
Avoid high engine load and fre‐
quent driving off.▷Indicator light illuminates red: gearbox
overheated.Seite 77DrivingControls77

Front-end collision warning
with city braking function
Principle The system can help avoid accidents. If an ac‐
cident cannot be avoided, the system helps to
reduce the collision speed.
The system warns of the possible risk of colli‐
sion and brakes automatically, as necessary.
The automatic braking intervention is done
with limited force and duration.
The system is controlled by a camera in the
area of the rear-view mirror.
The front-end collision warning is also avail‐
able if the Cruise Control is disabled.
When deliberately approaching a vehicle, the
approach control warning and braking inter‐
vention are activated later to avoid unjustified
system responses.
General
The system warns from approximately 5 km/h,
approximately 3 mph in two stages of any risk
of collision with vehicles. The timing of these
warnings may vary depending on the current
driving situation.
Up to approximately 60km/h, 35 mph.
Detection range
Objects are taken into account if they are de‐
tected by the system.
Notes
WARNING
Displays and warnings do not take your
personal responsibility from you. System limi‐
tations can mean that warnings or system re‐
sponses are not issued, are issued too late, or are issued incorrectly. Danger of accidents.
Adapt driving style to the driving conditions.
Observe the traffic situation and intervene ac‐
tively if the situation warrants it.◀
WARNING
Due to system limitations, there may be
malfunctions of individual functions when tow-
starting/towing with activated Intelligent Safety Systems, for example approach control warn‐
ing with light braking function. Danger of acci‐
dents. Switch off all Intelligent Safety Systems
before tow-starting/towing.◀

Manual speed limiterPrinciple With the system, the speed can be restricted
from a value of 30 km/h/20 mph. There are no
restrictions below the set speed limit.
Exceeding the speed limit In particular situations the speed limit can be
deliberately exceeded by accelerating strongly.
The system gives a warning if the travelling
speed exceeds the set speed limit.
No brake intervention
If the set speed limit has been reached or unin‐
tentionally exceeded (for example driving
downhill) there is no brake intervention.
If you set a speed limit during the journey
which is below the current speed, the vehicle
rolls until the driving speed drops below the
speed limit.

The current speed is assumed as the speed
limit.
When switching on when at a standstill
30 km/h/20 mph is set as the speed limit.
The speedometer marker is set to the corre‐
sponding speed.
When activating the speed limit it is possible
that Dynamic Stability Control, DSC is activa‐
ted.
Switching off Press the button on the steering
wheel.
For example, the system is also deactivated in
the following situations:▷When engaging reverse gear.▷When switching the engine off.▷When switching on Cruise Control.
The indicators turn off.
Change speed limit
Press the rocker switch repeatedly upwards or
downwards until the desired speed limit is set.
▷Every time the rocker switch is pressed to
the resistance point, the speed limit is in‐
creased or decreased by approximately
1 km/h, approximately 1 mph.▷Each time the rocker switch is pressed be‐
yond the resistance point, the speed limit
is increased or decreased to the next multi‐
ple of 10 km/h on the speedometer display.
If you set a speed limit during the journey
which is below the current speed, the vehicle
rolls until the driving speed drops below the
speed limit.

Driving comfortVehicle equipment
This chapter describes all standard, national
and special equipment provided in the model
series. Equipment not available in the vehicle is
therefore also described, for example the se‐
lected special equipment or national version.
This also applies to safety-relevant functions
and systems. Comply with the relevant na‐
tional regulations when using the correspond‐
ing functions and systems.
Cruise Control
Principle System keeps to speed set using buttons on
steering wheel. On downhill gradients, the sys‐
tem will brake the vehicle if the braking action
of the engine alone is insufficient.
General Characteristics of Cruise Control may change
in certain areas depending on vehicle setting.
Information WARNING
Using the system in the following situa‐
tions can lead to an increased danger of acci‐
dent:▷On stretches with many corners and
bends.▷In heavy traffic.▷If the road is icy, if there is fog, snow, rain
or a loose road surface.
Danger of accident or damage to property.
Only use the system if it is possible to drive at
a constant speed.◀

If necessary, Dynamic Stability Control DSC
will be switched on.
Switching off WARNING
The system does not take your personal
responsibility from you when you are estimat‐
ing the traffic situation. Due to limits of the sys‐
tem, it cannot respond independently in a rea‐
sonable way in all traffic conditions. Danger of
accidents. Adapt driving style to the driving
conditions. Observe the traffic situation and in‐
tervene actively if the situation warrants it.◀
