System limits
Information
WARNING
The system can react incorrectly or not at
all due to the system limits. There is risk of acci‐
dents or risk of property damage. Observe the
system limits and actively interfere if needed.◀
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 capacity of the system and the
automatic braking capacity are limited.
Two-wheeled vehicles for instance might not
be detected.
WARNING
The system does not relieve from the per‐
sonal responsibility to correctly assess the traf‐
fic situation. Based on the limits of the system,
it cannot independently react to all traffic situa‐
tions. There is risk of an accident. Adjust the
driving style to the traffic conditions. Watch
traffic closely and actively interfere in the re‐
spective situations.◀
Deceleration
The system also does not decelerate in the fol‐
lowing situations:
▷In case of pedestrians, cyclists or similar
slow road users.
▷For red traffic lights.▷For cross traffic.▷For oncoming traffic.▷Unlit vehicles or vehicles with nonworking
lighting at night.

Malfunction
A Check Control message is displayed if the sys‐
tem fails or was automatically deactivated.
The system may not be fully functional in the
following situations:
▷When an object was not correctly detected.▷In heavy fog, rain, sprayed water or snow‐
fall.
▷In tight curves.▷If the field of view of the camera or the
front windshield are dirty or covered.
▷When driving toward bright lights.▷Up to 20 seconds after the start of the en‐
gine, via the Start/Stop button.
▷During calibration of the camera immedi‐
ately after vehicle delivery.
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 is insufficient.
Information
WARNING
The system does not relieve from the per‐
sonal responsibility to correctly assess the traf‐
fic situation. Based on the limits of the system,
it cannot independently react to all traffic situa‐
tions. There is risk of an accident. Adjust the
driving style to the traffic conditions. Watch
traffic closely and actively interfere in the re‐
spective situations.◀
WARNING
The use of the system can lead to an in‐
creased risk of accidents in the following situa‐
tions:
▷On winding roads.▷In heavy traffic.▷On slippery roads, in fog, snow or rain, or
on a loose road surface.
There is risk of accidents or risk of property
damage. Only use the system if driving at con‐
stant speed is possible.◀

Information
WARNING
The desired speed can be incorrectly ad‐
justed or called up by mistake. There is risk of
an accident. Adjust the desired speed to the
traffic conditions. Watch traffic closely and ac‐
tively interfere in the respective situations.◀
Maintaining/storing the speed
Press button.
Or
or button: press while the system is in‐
terrupted.
When the system is switched on, the current
speed is maintained and stored as the desired
speed.
This is displayed in the instrument cluster.
DSC will be switched on if needed.
Changing the speed
or button: press repeatedly until the de‐
sired speed is set.
If active, the displayed speed is stored and the
vehicle reaches the stored speed when the
road is clear.
▷ or button: each time it is pressed to
the point of resistance, the desired speed
increases or decreases by approx.
1 mph/1 km/h.
▷ or button: each time it is pressed
past the point of resistance, the desired
speed increases or decreases by a maxi‐
mum of 5 mph/10 km/h.
The maximum speed that can be set de‐
pends on the vehicle.
▷ or button: pressing it to the resist‐
ance point and holding it there accelerates
or decelerates the vehicle without requiring

Displays in the instrument cluster
Indicator lamp
Depending on how the vehicle is equip‐
ped, the indicator lamp in the instru‐
ment cluster indicates whether the sys‐
tem is switched on.
Desired speed
The desired speed is displayed together
with the symbol.
▷The indicator lights up green: the
system is active.
▷The indicator lights up orange: the system
has been interrupted.
▷No display: system is switched off.

rently fulfilled.
PDC Park Distance Con‐
trol
The concept
PDC is a support when parking. When you
slowly approach an object in the rear - or also
in the front of the vehicle if the feature is avail‐
able - then the object is reported through:
▷Signal tones.▷Visual display.
General information
Ultrasound sensors in the bumpers measure
the distances from objects.
The maneuvering range, depending on obsta‐
cles and environmental conditions, is approx.
6 ft/2 m.
An acoustic warning is first given with the fol‐
lowing circumstances:
▷By the front middle sensors and the two
corner sensors at approx. 24 inches/60 cm.
▷By the rear middle sensors at approx.
5 ft/1.50 m.
▷When a collision is imminent
Information
Loud noises from outside and inside the vehicle
may prevent you from hearing the PDC's signal
tone.
WARNING
The system does not relieve from the per‐
sonal responsibility to correctly assess the traf‐
fic situation. There is risk of an accident. Adjust
the driving style to the traffic conditions. Watch
traffic and vehicle surroundings closely and ac‐
tively interfere in the respective situations.◀
WARNING
Due to high speeds when PDC is acti‐
vated, the warning can be delayed due to phys‐
ical circumstances. There is risk of injuries or
risk of property damage. Avoid approaching an
object too fast. Avoid driving off fast while PDC
is not yet active.◀

Coasting
The concept
The system helps to conserve fuel.
To do this, under certain conditions the engine
is automatically decoupled from the transmis‐
sion when selector lever position D is set. The
vehicle continues traveling with the engine
idling to reduce fuel consumption. Selector
lever position D remains engaged.
This driving condition is referred to as coasting.
As soon as the brake or accelerator pedal is de‐
pressed, the engine is automatically coupled to
the transmission again.
Information
Coasting is a component of the GREEN driving
mode, refer to page 169.
Coasting is automatically activated when
GREEN Mode is called via the Driving Dynamics
Control, refer to page 119.
The function is available in a certain speed
range.
A proactive driving style helps the driver to use
the function as often as possible and supports
the fuel-conserving effect of coasting.
Safety mode
The function is not available under one of the
following conditions.
▷DSC OFF or TRACTION activated.▷Driving in the dynamic limit range and on
steep uphill or downhill grades.
▷Battery charge status temporarily too low
or vehicle electrical system drawing exces‐
sive current.
▷Cruise control activated.
Functional requirements
In GREEN Mode, this function is available in a
speed range from approximately 30 mph, ap‐
prox. 50 km/h to 100 mph, approx. 160 km/h,
if the following conditions are met:
▷Accelerator pedal and brake pedal are not
operated.
▷The selector lever is in selector lever posi‐
tion D.
▷Engine and transmission are at operating
temperature.
