Automatic brake assist
Read and observe
and on page 234 first.
Automatic brake assist when speeding
If a velocity of 7 km / h is exceeded during the parking manoeuvre for the first
time, the speed will be automatically reduced by the system to less than 7 km /
h. This prevents the parking manoeuvre from aborting.
Automatic emergency braking
If the system detects a risk of collision during parking, automatic emergency
braking takes place to prevent a collision.
The parking is terminated by the emergency braking.
CAUTION
The automatic emergency braking is not triggered by the system when the
parking process stops due to the speed of 7 km / hr being exceeded!Malfunctions

239
The trailer manoeuvring assistant (below only system) helps the driver when
reversing with a trailer.
When manoeuvring, the system only undertakes the steering movement. The
driver operates the brake, accelerator or clutch pedal and the shift / selector
lever.
The state in which the steering wheel is operated by the system, is referred to
as parking operation.
WARNING■
The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 215, in section Introduction .■
The system is not oriented to the area around the vehicle, there is no ob-
stacle detection.
237Assist systems
WARNING (Continued)■During manoeuvring, always observe the movement of the trailer and if
neccesary cancel the manoeuvring autonomously to prevent accidents or
damage to the vehicle and the trailer.■
During the parking process, the system automatically performs rapid
steering movements. While it is doing so, do not place your hands between
the steering wheel – risk of injury!
■
During parking manoeuvres on loose or slippery surfaces (gravel, snow,
ice, etc.) it is possible to stray from the calculated road. Therefore, use the
system with extreme caution in such situations.
CAUTION
■ The trailer position is evaluated by the rear camera based on the bending an-
gle of the drawbar and the steering movement carried out by the system. For
this reason, the drawbar must not be obstructed by external influences.■
The rear camera lens must not be contaminated, otherwise the system may
be unavailable or the system function my be significantly impaired.
Note
■ We recommend performing the parking at a safe speed of up to about 5
km/h.■
The parking process can be terminated at any time by pressing the button
» Fig. 294 on page 238 or by a steering intervention.
■
The correct system function can only be ensured if a one- or two-axle trailer
is hitched without steered axle.
Operating principle

System button
Read and observe and on page 237 first.
The trailer position is detected by the system based on the information of the
rear camera. Trailer is steered in the direction set by the driver using steering
wheel movements.
Conditions for the system function The engine is running.
The system is activated.
The parking aid is activated.
The driver's door and the boot lid are fully closed.
The trailer is plugged into the trailer socket.
The trailer is not veering too much.
Determining the drawbar length
The system must know the drawbar length in order that the driver is offered
the maximum possible setting angle with respect to the target position of the
trailer.
The system needs some turning manoeuvres or cornering with a hitched trailer
in order to determine the drawbar length.

Automatic brake intervention
Read and observe
and on page 237 first.
The systems is deactivated and an automatic braking intervention takes place
in the following situations.
▶ If, during the manoeuvring, the button is pressed, the driver's door is
opened or the steering wheel is gripped.
▶ If the angle between the vehicle and trailer is assessed by the system as too
large during the manoeuvring procedure.
▶ If a specific speed is assessed by the system as too high during the manoeu-
vring procedure due to the current angle between the vehicle and trailer and
the driver does not react to the warning braking intervention.
Cruise Control System
Introduction

Operation
240
Operation description
240
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 215, 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.

The current speed is greater 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 in order to
maintain the set speed, the acceleration and brake pedals must be taken
over!

are met. ▶ The brake pedal is operated.
▶ When one of the brake assist systems (e.g. ESC) intervenes.
▶ By pressing the button D

▶ Through an airbag deployment.
WARNING■ Always deactivate the cruise control system after use to prevent the sys-
tem being switched on unintentionally.■
The control does not resume if the set speed for the existing traffic con-
ditions is too high.
Note
■ During control, speed can be increased by pressing the accelerator pedal. Re-
leasing the accelerator pedal will cause the speed to drop again to the set

The Speed Limiter limits the maximum driving speed to the set speed limit.
The speed limit can only be exceeded by depressing the accelerator pedal fully.
The condition in which the Speed Limiter prevents a potential set speed limit
excess is referred to as Regulation.

WARNING (Continued)■When driving through places where metal objects (such as metal build-
ings, railway tracks, etc.) can be found.■
When driving through very divided and enclosed spaces (such as large-ca-
pacity garages, car ferries, tunnels and the like.).
Note
■ The ACC is designed primarily for use on motorways.■The ACC reduces the speed by automatically releasing the accelerator or by
means of a braking procedure as appropriate. If the brakes are used for an au-
tomatic speed reduction at any moments, then the brake light illuminates.■
In case of failure of more than one brake light on the vehicle or on the con-
nected trailer, the ACC becomes unavailable.
■
The control automatically cancels the engagement of the brake supportive
assistance systems (e.g. ESC) or when the maximum permitted engine speed is
exceeded.

The ACC allows you to set a speed of 30 - 160 or 210 km / h (depending on
equipment) and the distance to the vehicle ahead in the range of a very short
to a very long distance.
The ACC adjusts the set speed with respect to the detected vehicle ahead,
thus maintaining the selected proximity.
The ACC can detect a vehicle that is up to approx. 150 m ahead using the radar
sensor.

Note to reduce speed
If the delay of the ACC is insufficient in relation to the vehicle in front, the
warning light lights up in the instrument cluster and the display shows a
message to engage the brake pedal.
Regulation according to the vehicle in the adjacent lane
During regulation your vehicle may be regulated according to the vehicle in the
adjacent lane.
This could occur at speeds above about 80 km/h when your vehicle is moving
faster than the vehicle in the adjacent lane on the driver's side. The display
shows the detected vehicle is in the adjacent lane.
Note
Some ACC notifications in the display of the instrument cluster may be hidden
by notifications for other functions. An ACC notification automatically appears
for a brief moment when there is a change in status of the ACC.
Automatic stopping and starting
Read and observe
on page 243 first.
Vehicles with an automatic transmission can decelerate to a standstill and
start moving again using the ACC.
1234Decelerate to a standstill
If a vehicle ahead decelerates to a standstill, the ACC will also decelerate your
vehicle to a standstill.
Starting to drive again after a holding period
As soon as the vehicle ahead starts moving again after a holding period, your
vehicle will also move and the speed will continue to be regulated.
If the vehicle in front starts moving again after a long break, press the acceler-
ator pedal or set the lever to position
in order to continue control
