no warning by the warning light.
The warning display is always in the exterior mirror on the side of the vehicle where a vehicle is detected in the “blind spot”.
The greater the speed difference between the two vehicles, the earlier the
warning (by means of the warning light) regarding the vehicle that is overtak-
ing you takes place.
Two warning levels

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.

Special driving conditions
Fig. 307
Cornering / narrow vehicles or vehicles travelling side by side
Fig. 308
Lane changes of other vehicles / stationary vehicles
Read and observe
on page 243 first.
The following (and similar) situations require special attention and possibly the
intervention of the driver (braking, accelerating etc.).
When cornering
When driving into or driving out of long corners, it could be that a vehicle is
travelling in the adjacent lane and is scanned by the radar » Fig. 307 - 
. The
host vehicle is then controlled according to this vehicle.
Narrow vehicles or vehicles travelling side by side
A narrow or offset vehicle driving can only be recognized by the ACC if this is
located in the scanning range of the radar » Fig. 307 - 
.
Other vehicles changing lanes
Vehicles that change onto the lane with a small distance » Fig. 308 - 
may
not be detected by ACC in good time.
Stationary vehicles
The ACC does not detect stationary objects! When a vehicle detected by the
ACC turns or sheers off and there is a stationary vehicle in front of this vehicle,
» Fig. 308 -
 the ACC does not respond to the stationary vehicle.
Vehicles with special load or special body parts
Other vehicles with a load or with body parts protruding from the sides, back
or top of the vehicle contour may not be detected by the ACC.
Overtaking and towing
Read and observe
on page 243 first.
When overtaking
When your vehicle is being controlled at a speed that is lower than the set
speed and the turn signal is operated, ACC assesses this situation as meaning
that the driver wishes to overtake. The ACC automatically accelerates the vehi-
cle, thereby reducing the proximity to a vehicle ahead.
If your vehicle changes to the overtaking lane and no vehicle is detected
ahead, ACC accelerates until the set speed is reached and then keeps it con-
stant.
Acceleration can be cancelled at any time by touch on the brake pedal or
pressing the button  on the lever
» Fig. 306 on page 245 .
Towing a trailer
When towing, or if another accessory is connected to the trailer socket, ACC
control is set with a lower rate. The manner of driving should therefore be
adapted to this limitation.

The boundary line of at least one side of the lane is detected.
The driver's hands are on the steering wheel.
The lane is more than 2.5 m in width.
If the turn signal is switched on (e.g. when turning), no steering intervention takes place when the vehicle approaches the boundary line. The system re-
gards the situation as an intended lane change.

The system is active and ready to intervene or is currently intervening.
Adaptive lane assist
Adaptive tracking helps to keep the vehicle in the position between the boun-
dary lines selected by the driver, by means of steering intervention.
If the position within the lane is changed, the system quickly adapts and holds
the newly-selected position.
Steering wheel vibrations
In the following situations, it may occasionally be the case that due to the
steering wheel vibrations the syst4em indicates that a driver steering inter-
vention is required.
▶ The system is not able to keep the vehicle by a within the lane due to a
steering intervention.
▶ During an intense system-related steering intervention, the system suddenly
cannot recognize the boundary lines.WARNINGThe system function may be restricted if, for example there is danger due
to ruts on a downhill road or in a crosswind.1)

WARNING■Please take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance
systems » page 215, in section Introduction .■
For the driving ability is always the driver's responsibility. Never drive if
you feel tired.
■
The system may not detect all cases where a break is needed.
■
Therefore, take regular, sufficient breaks during long trips.
■
There will be no system warning during the so-called micro-sleep.
Note
■ In some situations, the system may evaluate the driving incorrectly and thus
mistakenly recommend a break (e.g. sporty driving, adverse weather condi-
tions or poor road conditions).■
The system is designed primarily for use on motorways.
Tyre pressure monitoring
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Storing the tyre pressure values and Infotainment display
260
The tyre pressure monitoring function (following known as system) monitors
the tyre pressure while driving.
If the tyre inflation pressure changes, the warning light 
lights up in the in-
strument cluster and an audible signal sounds » page 37.
The system can only function properly if the tyres have the prescribed inflation
pressure and these pressure values are stored in the system.
Always save the tyre pressure values in the system if one of the following
events occurs.
▶ Change of tyre pressure values.
▶ Change one or more wheels.
▶ Change in position of a wheel on the vehicle.
▶ The warning light 
in the instrument cluster.
WARNING■
Please take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance
systems » page 215, in section Introduction .■
Having the correct tyre inflation pressure is always the driver's responsi-
bility. Tyre pressure should be checked regularly » page 286.
■
The system cannot warn in case of very rapid tyre inflation pressure loss,
e.g. in case of sudden tyre damage.
■
Before storing the pressures, the tyres must be inflated to the specified
inflation pressure » page 286. If the wrong pressure valuesare stored, the
system may not issue any warnings, even if the tyre pressure is too low.
CAUTION
To ensure proper system function, the tyre pressure values must be stored ev-
ery 10,000 km or 1x a year.
