Driving and operating149Driver assistance
systems9 Warning
Driver assistance systems are
developed to support the driver
and not to replace the driver's
attention.
The driver accepts full
responsibility when driving the
vehicle.
When using driver assistance
systems, always take care
regarding the current traffic
situation.
Cruise control
The cruise control can store and
maintain speeds of 20 mph and
above. Deviations from the stored
speeds may occur when driving uphill or downhill.
For safety reasons, the cruise control cannot be activated until the brake
pedal has been operated once.
Do not use the cruise control if it is not
advisable to maintain a constant
speed.
Control indicators U and m 3 100.
Activation
Press m; control indicator U
illuminates green in the instrument
cluster.
Cruise control is now in standby mode
and a corresponding message
appears in the Driver Information
Centre.
Accelerate to the desired speed and
press < or ]. The current speed is
now stored and maintained and the
accelerator pedal can be released.
150Driving and operatingControl indicator m illuminates green
in the instrument cluster together with
U and a corresponding message
appears in the Driver Information
Centre.
Vehicle speed can be increased by
depressing the accelerator pedal.
The stored speed flashes in the
instrument cluster. When the
accelerator pedal is released, the
previously stored speed is resumed.
Cruise control remains activated
while gearshifting.
The speed is saved until the ignition
is switched off.
Increase speed
With cruise control active, the vehicle speed can be increased continuously
or in small increments by holding
down or tapping < repeatedly.
When the switch is released the
current speed is stored and
maintained.
Alternatively, accelerate to the
desired speed and store by pressing
< .Reduce speed
With cruise control active, the vehicle speed can be decreased
continuously or in small increments
by holding down or tapping ]
repeatedly.
When the switch is released the
current speed is stored and
maintained.
Deactivation
Press §; cruise control is deactivated
and the green control indicator U
extinguishes in the instrument cluster.
Automatic deactivation:
● vehicle speed drops below 20 mph
● the brake pedal is depressed
● the clutch pedal is depressed
● selector lever in N
● engine speed is in a very low or very high range
The speed is stored and a
corresponding message appears in
the Driver Information Centre.
Reactivation
Press R at a speed above 20 mph.
If the stored speed is much higher
than the current speed, the vehicle
will accelerate powerfully until the stored speed is obtained.
Pressing < will also reactivate the
cruise control function, but at the
current vehicle speed only, not the stored speed.
Deleting the stored speedPress m; Green control indicators
U and m extinguish in the instrument
cluster.
Driving and operating151Cruise control speed limiter
The speed limiter prevents the
vehicle exceeding a preset maximum speed above 20 mph.
Activation
Press U; control indicator U
illuminates yellow in the instrument
cluster.
Cruise control speed limiter function
is now in standby mode and a
corresponding message appears in
the Driver Information Centre.
Accelerate to the desired speed and
press < or ]. The current speed is
recorded.
The vehicle can be driven normally
but it will not be possible to exceed the programmed speed limit except in an
emergency.
Where the limit speed cannot be
maintained, e.g. when driving on a
steep decline, the limit speed will
flash in the Driver Information Centre
3 100, accompanied by a warning
chime.
Increase limit speed
The limit speed can be increased
continuously or in small increments
by holding down or tapping <
repeatedly.
Reduce limit speed
The limit speed can be decreased
continuously or in small increments
by holding down or tapping ]
repeatedly.
Exceeding the limit speed
In the event of an emergency, it is
possible to exceed the limit speed by
depressing the accelerator pedal
firmly beyond the point of resistance.
The limit speed will flash in the DriverInformation Centre 3 100 during this
period, accompanied by a warning
chime.
Release the accelerator pedal and
the speed limiter function is
reactivated once a speed lower than
the limit speed is obtained.
Notice
In vehicles fitted with a Speed
limiter, fully depressing the
accelerator pedal will not allow you
to exceed the set maximum vehicle
speed. Speed limiter 3 152.
Deactivation
Press §; Speed limiter is deactivated
and the vehicle can be driven
normally.
The limit speed is stored and a
corresponding message appears in
the Driver Information Centre.
Reactivation
Press R; The speed limiter function is
reactivated.
Pressing < will also reactivate the
speed limiter function, but at the
current vehicle speed only, not the
stored speed.
152Driving and operatingDeleting the limit speed
Press U; Yellow control indicator U
extinguishes in the instrument cluster.
Speed limiter
Maximum speed limiter
In accordance with local or national
regulations, the vehicle may be
equipped with a fixed maximum
speed limiter that cannot be disabled.
If equipped, a warning label indicating the fixed maximum speed limit (55 to
80 mph) is located on the instrument
panel.
Deviations from the maximum speed
limit may occur briefly when driving
downhill, for physical reasons.
A warning buzzer will sound for
ten seconds every 40 seconds if the vehicle briefly exceeds the set limit.
Vehicles also equipped with cruise
control speed limiter: the maximum
speed cannot be exceeded by
depressing the accelerator pedal
firmly beyond the point of resistance.
Cruise control speed limiter 3 149.
Parking assist9 Warning
It is the driver who bears full
responsibility for the parking
manoeuvre.
Always check the surrounding
area while reversing and using the rear parking assist system.
The parking assist makes reverse
parking easier by measuring the
distance between the rear of the
vehicle and obstacles.
The system consists of four ultrasonic parking sensors in the rear bumper.
Notice
Attached parts in the detection area
cause system malfunction.
Activation
When reverse gear is engaged, the
system switches itself on
automatically. Readiness for
operation is indicated by a brief
acoustic signal.
An obstacle is indicated by buzzers
and, depending on vehicle, is also
indicated in the Info-Display. The
interval between the buzzers
becomes shorter as the vehicle gets
