cription and operation

table on page 2 Traffic Jam Assist helps the driver keep the
car w
ithin its
lane and to move in convoy in
case of traffic congestion or slow traffic.
Traffic Jam Assist is an additional function of
Lane Assist ››› page 213 and combines Lane
Assist functions with Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) ››› page 196. Therefore, it is essential
that you read these two chapters carefully
and note the limitations of the systems and
the information about them.
Operation of Traffic Jam Assist
At speeds of below 60 km/h (40 mph), Traffic
Jam Assist can maintain a (temporary) dis-
tance preset by the driver with respect to the
vehicle ahead and help stay within the lane
››› .
T o do thi
s, the sy
stem automatically controls
the acceleration, brakes and steering, and
slows down the vehicle until it stops fully
when behind another vehicle that is stop-
ping. It then automatically moves off again
when the car in front does so.
Traffic Jam Assist is designed only for use on
motorways and wide roads. Therefore, never
use it in city traffic.
Switching Traffic Jam Assist on and off
If Lane Assist is on, ›››
page 213 Traffic Jam
Assist is switched on and off in the infotain-
ment system using the button and theSETUP and
Driv
er a
s
sistance function buttons
› ›
›
page 27.
It is activated by switching on Lane Assist
and the lane centring guide in the infotain-
ment system. If the lane centring guide is not
active, the Traffic Jam Assist system is not ac-
tive
Traffic Jam Assist may be disconnected using
the button for driver assistance systems to-
gether with Lane Assist ›››
page 31.
Technical requirements for using Traffic Jam
Assist
● Lane Assist must be activated ›››
page 213,
Lane Assist system*.
● Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) must be con-
nected and active ›
›› page 196.
● The selector lever must be in the D/S posi-
tion or in the
Tiptronic selection track.
● The speed must be below 60 km/h
(38 mph).
● The lane centring guide must be active
›››
page 215.
Traffic Jam Assist is not active (the Lane As-
sist control light turns yellow) ● If any of the conditions mentioned on
page 216, T
echnical requirements for using
Traffic Jam Assist are no longer met.

Driver assistance systems
Function and operation Fig. 218
On the instrument panel display: fa-
tigue det ection symbo
l
.Fatigue detection determines the driving be-
h
av
iour of
the driver when starting a journey,
making a calculation of tiredness. This is
constantly compared with the current driving
behaviour. If the system detects that the driv-
er is tired, an audible warning is given with a
sound and an optic warning is shown with a
symbol and complementary message on the
instrument panel display ››› Fig. 218. The
message on the instrument panel display is
shown for approximately 5 seconds, and de-
pending on the case, is repeated. The system
stores the last message displayed.
The message on the instrument panel display
can be switched off by pressing the button on the windscreen wiper lever or the
b
utt
on on the multi function steering
wheel
›
›
› page 30. The message can be recalled to the instru-
ment panel
display using the multifunction
display ›››
page 30.
Conditions of operation
Driving behaviour is only calculated on
speeds above about 65 km/h (40 mph) up to
around 200 km/h (125 mph).
Switching on and off
Fatigue detection can be activated or deacti-
vated in the Easy Connect system with the button and the
S
ETUP
› ›
› p
age 110 func-
tion button. A mark indicates that the adjust-
ment has been activated.
System limitations
The Fatigue detection has certain limitations
inherent to the system. The following condi-
tions can limit the Fatigue detection or pre-
vent it from functioning.
● At speeds below 65 km/h (40 mph)
● At speeds above 200 km/h (125 mph)
● When cornering
● On roads in poor condition
● In unfavourable weather conditions
● When a sporty driving style is employed
● In the event of a serious distraction to the
driver Fatigue det
ection will be restored when the
vehicl
e is stopped for more than 15 minutes,
when the ignition is switched off or when the
driver has unbuckled their seat belt and
opened the door.
In the event of slow driving during a long pe-
riod of time (below 65 km/h, 40 mph) the
system automatically re-establishes the tired-
ness calculation. When driving at a faster
speed the driving behaviour will be recalcula-
ted.
Parking aid
General
information Various systems are available to help you
when p
ark
in
g or manoeuvring in tight
spaces, depending on the equipment fitted
on your vehicle.
The rear parking aid is an audible assistant
that warns about obstacles located behind
the vehicle ›››
page 227.
During parking, Parking System Plus assists
the driver by visually and audibly warning
them about obstacles detected in front and
behind the vehicle ›››
