Instruments and controls115Electronic Stability Control
off n illuminates yellow.
The system is deactivated.
Electronic Stability Control
and Traction Control
system b illuminates or flashes yellow.
Illuminates A fault in the system is present.
Continued driving is possible. Driving
stability, however, may deteriorate depending on road surface
conditions.
Have the cause of the fault remedied
by a workshop.
Flashes The system is actively engaged.
Engine output may be reduced and
the vehicle may be braked
automatically to a small degree.
Electronic Stability Control 3 175,
Traction Control system 3 174.Traction Control system off
k illuminates yellow.
The system is deactivated.
Preheating
! illuminates yellow.
Preheating is activated. Only
activates when outside temperature
is low.
Diesel particle filter
% illuminates or flashes yellow.
The diesel particle filter requires
cleaning.
Continue driving until %
extinguishes. If possible, do not allow engine speed to drop below
2000 rpm.
Illuminates
The diesel particle filter is full. Start
cleaning process as soon as
possible.Flashes
The maximum filling level of the filter
is reached. Start cleaning process
immediately to avoid damage to the
engine.
Diesel particle filter 3 163, Stop-start
system 3 160.
AdBlue Y flashes yellow.
AdBlue level is low. Refill AdBlue soon to avoid prevention of the
engine start.
AdBlue 3 164.
Tyre pressure monitoring
system
w illuminates or flashes yellow.
Illuminates
Tyre pressure loss. Stop immediately
and check tyre pressure.

174Driving and operatingHill start assistThe system helps prevent unintendedmovement when driving away on
inclines.
When releasing the foot brake after
stopping on an incline, the brakes
remain on for a further two seconds.
The brakes release automatically as
soon as the vehicle begins to
accelerate.
The hill start assist is not active during
an Autostop.Ride control systems
Traction Control system
The Traction Control system (TC) is a component of the Electronic Stability
Control.
TC improves driving stability when
necessary, regardless of the type of
road surface or tyre grip, by
preventing the drive wheels from spinning.
As soon as the drive wheels starts to
spin, engine output is reduced and
the wheel spinning the most is braked
individually. This considerably
improves the driving stability of the
vehicle on slippery road surfaces.
TC is operational as soon as the
control indicator b extinguishes.
When TC is active b flashes.9 Warning
Do not let this special safety
feature tempt you into taking risks
when driving.
Adapt speed to the road
conditions.
Control indicator b 3 115.
Deactivation
TC can be switched off when spinning of drive wheels is required: press b
briefly.
Control indicator k illuminates.

178Driving and operating
For safety reasons, the cruise controlcannot be activated until the foot
brake has been operated once.
Activation in first gear is not possible.
Do not use the cruise control if it is not advisable to maintain a constant
speed.
With automatic transmission, only
activate cruise control in automatic
mode.
Control indicator m 3 117.
Switching on Press m, control indicator m in
instrument cluster illuminates white.
Activation
Accelerate to the desired speed and
turn thumb wheel to SET/-, the
current speed is stored and
maintained. Control indicator m in
instrument cluster illuminates green. Accelerator pedal can be released.
Vehicle speed can be increased by depressing the accelerator pedal.
When the accelerator pedal is
released, the previously stored speed
is resumed.
Cruise control remains activated
while gearshifting.
Increase speed With cruise control active, hold thumb
wheel turned to RES/+ or briefly turn
to RES/+ repeatedly: speed
increases continuously or in small
increments.
Alternatively accelerate to the desired speed and store by turning to SET/-.Reduce speed
With cruise control active, hold thumb
wheel turned to SET/- or briefly turn to
SET/- repeatedly: speed decreases
continuously or in small increments.
Deactivation
Press y, control indicator m in
instrument cluster illuminates white.
Cruise control is deactivated. Last
stored speed remains in memory for
later speed resume.
Automatic deactivation: ■ Vehicle speed is below approx. 30 km/h.
■ Vehicle speed is above approx. 200 km/h.
■ The brake pedal is depressed.
■ The clutch pedal is depressed for a
few seconds.
■ Selector lever is in N.
■ Engine speed is in a very low range.
■ The Traction Control system or Electronic Stability Control is
operating.

Driving and operating183
The selected following distance is
indicated by filled distance bars on
the adaptive cruise control page.
Note that the following distance
setting is shared with the sensitivity
setting of forward collision alert.
Example: If setting 3 (far) is selected,
then the driver is warned sooner
before a possible collision, also if
adaptive cruise control is inactive or
switched off.
9 Warning
The driver accepts full
responsibility for the appropriate
following distance based on traffic, weather and visibility conditions.
Following distance must be
adjusted or the system switched
off when required by the prevailing
conditions.
Detecting the vehicle ahead
The green illuminated "vehicle
ahead" control indicator A is
displayed in the speedometer when the system detects a vehicle in the
driving path.
If this symbol does not appear, or
appears briefly, adaptive cruise
control will not respond to vehicles
ahead.
Deactivation
Adaptive cruise control is deactivated by the driver when:
■ y is pressed.
■ Brake pedal is applied.
■ Clutch pedal is depressed for more
than four seconds.
■ Gear selector lever of automatic transmission is moved to N.
The system is also automatically
deactivated when:
■ Vehicle speed slows down below 45 km/h or accelerates above
190 km/h.
■ Traction Control system is operating for more than
20 seconds.

184Driving and operating
■ Electronic Stability Control isoperating.
■ There is no traffic and nothing detected on the road sides for
several minutes. In this case there are no radar echoes and the sensor may report that it is blocked.
■ Collision imminent braking system is applying the brakes.
■ Radar sensor is blocked by an ice or water film.
■ A fault is detected in the radar, engine or brake system.
When adaptive cruise control is
deactivated automatically, the control
indicator m illuminates white and a
warning symbol is displayed as a pop- up in the Driver Information Centre.
The stored speed is maintained.
9 Warning
When adaptive cruise control is
deactivated, the driver must take
over full brake and engine control.
Switching off
Press C to switch off adaptive cruise
control. The control indicator m
extinguishes. The stored speed is
deleted.
Switching off the ignition also
switches off adaptive cruise control
and deletes the stored speed.
Driver's attention
■ Use adaptive cruise control carefully on bends or mountainroads, as it can lose the vehicle
ahead and require time to detect it
again.
■ Do not use the system on slippery roads as it can create rapid
changes in tyre traction (wheel spinning), so that you could lose
control.
■ Do not use adaptive cruise control during rain, snow or heavy dirt, as
the radar sensor can be covered by
a water film, dust, ice or snow. This
reduces or completely suppresses
the visibility. In case of sensor
blockage, clean the sensor cover.
System limits ■ The system's automatic brake force
does not permit hard braking and
the braking level may not be
sufficient to avoid a collision.
■ After a sudden lane change, the system needs a certain time to
detect the next preceding vehicle.
