decrease by approximately 1 MPH (1 km/h).
To resume the preset speed, quickly pull the
cruise control lever towards you
4. The vehicle
will resume the last set cruising speed when the
vehicle speed is over 20 MPH (30 km/h).
NOTE
If you do not fully release the accelerator pedal,
the [ICC Deactivated Automatically] message
appears in the vehicle information display. The
set distance to a slower-moving vehicle in front will then not be maintained. You will be driving
at the speed you determine by the position of the
accelerator pedal.
You can also activate ICC when stationary. The
lowest speed that can be set is 20 MPH
(30 km/h).
Stopping
WARNING
•To help avoid risk of injury or death through
unintended operation of the vehicle and/or
its systems, do not leave children, people
who require the assistance of others, or
pets unattended in your vehicle.
•The ICC system should only be used to keep
the vehicle stationary when the driver is
actively using the system. When parking
the vehicle, make sure to turn OFF the ICC
system, use the brake, press the PARK (P)
button, and place the ignition switch in the
LOCK position prior to exiting the vehicle.
Failure to do so could lead to serious injury
or death. The ICC system will not hold the
vehicle in place after coming to a stop when
any of the following conditions occur:
– There is a malfunction in the system or in
the voltage supply.

Approach warning
If your vehicle comes closer to the vehicle
ahead due to rapid deceleration of that vehicle
or if another vehicle cuts in, the system warns
the driver with the chime and distance warning
light. Decelerate by depressing the brake pedal
to maintain a safe vehicle distance if:
•The chime sounds.
•The distance warning light is illuminated.
The warning chime may not sound and the
distance warning light may not illuminate in
some cases when there is a short distance
between vehicles. Some examples are:
•When the vehicles are traveling at the same
speed and the distance between vehicles is
not changing. In this case, the distance
warning light will be on.
•When the vehicle ahead is traveling faster
and the distance between vehicles is increas-
ing.
•When a vehicle cuts in near your vehicle
•The warning chime will not sound and the
distance warning light will not illuminate
when: – The vehicle approaches other vehicles that are parked or moving slowly. – The accelerator pedal is depressed, over-
riding the system.
Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affected by
vehicle operation (steering maneuver or driving
position in the lane) or traffic or vehicle condi-
tion (for example, if a vehicle is being driven
with some damage).
Automatic cancellation
A chime sounds and the message [ICC off] is
displayed in the vehicle information display for
5 seconds under the following conditions and
the control is automatically canceled.
•The electric parking brake is applied.
•The VDC intervenes or the VDC is deacti-
vated.
•The P (Park), R (Reverse) or N (Neutral)
position is engaged.
•The cruise control lever is pulled in order to
pull away but the front passenger door or
one of the rear doors is open.
•The vehicle is skidding or a wheel slips.
•Active Park Assist is activated.
ICC LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for the
ICC system. Failure to operate the vehicle in
accordance with these system limitations
could result in serious injury or death.
•This system is only an aid to assist the
driver and is not a collision warning or
avoidance device. It is the driver’s responsi-
bility to stay alert, drive safely and be in
control of the vehicle at all times.
•The system is primarily intended for use on
straight, dry, open roads with light traffic. It
is not advisable to use the system in city
traffic or congested areas.
•This system will not adapt automatically to
road conditions. This system should be
used in evenly flowing traffic. Do not use the
system on roads with sharp curves, or on icy
roads, in heavy rain or in fog.
•As there is a performance limit to the dis-
tance control function, never rely solely on
the ICC system. This system does not cor-
rect careless, inattentive or absent-minded
driving, or overcome poor visibility in rain,
fog, or other bad weather. Decelerate the
vehicle speed by depressing the brake
5-54Starting and driving

The FEB system consists of a distance warning
function with an autonomous emergency brak-
ing function and adaptive brake assist function.
The FEB system can help you to minimize the
risk of a collision with the vehicle in front or
reduce the effects of such a collision
If the FEB system detects that there is a risk of
a collision, you will be warned visually and
audibly. If you do not react to the visual and
audible collision warning, autonomous braking
can be initiated in critical situations. If you
apply the brake yourself in a critical situation,
the adaptive brake assist function assists you.
Distance warning function
The distance warning function can help you to
minimize the risk of a collision with the vehicle
in front or reduce the effects of such a collision.
If the distance warning function detects that
there is a risk of a collision, you will be warned
visually and audibly.
The distance warning function issues a warning
at speeds:
•Of approximately 20 MPH (30 km/h) or more,
if, over several seconds the distance main-
tained to the vehicle traveling in front is
insufficient. The distance warning light then
lights up in the combination meter.
•Of approximately 4 MPH (7 km/h) or more, if
you rapidly approach a vehicle in front. An
intermittent warning tone will then sound
and the distance warning light will light up in
the combination meter.
If a warning is issued:
•Brake immediately in order to increase the
distance from the vehicle in front.
or
•Take evasive action provided it is safe to do
so.
WARNING
Due to the nature of the system, particularly
complicated but non-critical driving conditions
may also cause the system to display a
warning.
Up to a speed of approximately 45 MPH (70
km/h), the distance warning function can also
react to stationary (stopped or parked) vehicles.
If you approach a stationary vehicle and the
distance warning function detects a risk of a
collision, the system will alert you both visually
and acoustically.

ACTIVE SOUND ENHANCEMENT
The active sound enhancement generates
sounds according to engine speed through the
speakers
2and woofer1(if equipped) to
enhance the quality of the engine sound. IPA is an electronic parking aid with ultrasound.
It detects vehicles and open spaces on both
sides of the vehicle. A parking symbol indicates
a suitable parking space. Active steering inter-
vention can assist you during parking and when
exiting a parking space. The driver controls the
accelerator, brake and gear shift. You may also
use the parking sensor system (see
Parking
sensor system (if equipped) later in this sec-
tion).
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES
WARNING
•IPA is only an aid. It is not a substitute for
your attention to the immediate surround-
ings. The responsibility for safe maneuver-
ing and parking remains with you.
•Make sure that no persons, animals or ob-
jects are in the maneuvering range
•When the parking sensor system is deacti-
vated, IPA is also unavailable.
•While parking or pulling out of a parking
space, the vehicle swings out and can drive
onto areas of the oncoming lane. This could
cause you to collide with other road users.
There is a risk of an accident.
•Pay attention to other road users. Stop the
vehicle if necessary or cancel the IPA park-
ing procedure
•This system is not designed to prevent con-
tact with small or moving objects.
•If your vehicle sustains damage to the bum-
per fascia, leaving it misaligned or bent, the
sensing zone may be altered causing inac-
curate measurement of obstacles or false
alarms.
•This system is not designed to prevent con-
tact with small or moving objects.
•If your vehicle sustains damage to the bum-
per fascia, leaving it misaligned or bent, the
sensing zone may be altered causing inac-
curate measurement of obstacles or false
alarms.
CAUTION
Do not drive over obstacles such as curbs, as
you may damage the wheels or tires.
IPA may also display spaces not suitable for
parking, for example:
•Parking or stopping prohibition.
INTELLIGENT PARKING ASSIST (IPA) (IF
EQUIPPED)
5-68Starting and driving

•In front of driveways or entrances and exits.
•Unsuitable surfaces.
Parking tips:
•On narrow roads, drive as closely as possible
past the parking space.
•Parking spaces that are littered or overgrown
might be identified or measured incorrectly.
•Parking spaces that are partly occupied by
trailer towing bars might not be identified as
such or be measured incorrectly.
•Snowfall or heavy rain may lead to a parking
space being measured inaccurately.
•Pay attention to the parking sensor system
warning messages during the parking proce-
dure.
•You can intervene in the steering procedure
to correct it at any time. IPA will then be
canceled.
•When transporting a load which protrudes
from your vehicle, you should not use IPA.
•Never use IPA when snow chains are fitted.
•Make sure that the tire pressures are always
correct. This has a direct influence on the
parking characteristics of the vehicle. Use IPA for parking spaces that are:
•Parallel or at right angles to the direction of
travel.
•On straight roads, not bends.
•On the same level as the road, e. g. not on
the sidewalk.
For vehicles with the towbar folded out, the
minimum length for parking spaces is slightly
longer.
If you have attached a trailer to your vehicle,
you may not use IPA. Once the electrical con-
nection is established between your vehicle and
the trailer, IPA is no longer available. The
parking sensor system is deactivated for the
rear area
DETECTING PARKING SPACES
The IPA system can only be used to park in
spaces that have vehicles directly on either side
of the parking space.
Objects located above the height range of IPA
will not be detected when the parking space is
measured. These are not taken into account
when the parking procedure is calculated, e. g.
overhanging loads, tail sections or loading
ramps of goods vehicles.
WARNING
If there are objects above the detection range,
IPA may steer too early. This could cause a
collision. There is a risk of an accident.
If objects are located above the detection
range, stop and switch off the IPA.
For further information on the detection range
see Range of the sensors later in this section.
IPA does not assist you parking in spaces at
right angles to the direction of travel if:
•Two parking spaces are located directly next
to one another.
•The parking space is directly next to a low
obstacle such as a low curb.
•You forward park.
IPA does not assist you parking in spaces that
are parallel or at right angles to the direction of
travel if:
•The parking space is on a curb.
•The system reads the parking space as being
blocked, for example, by foliage or grass
paving blocks.
•The area is too small for the vehicle to
maneuver into.
Starting and driving5-69

•The parking space is bordered by an ob-
stacle, e.g. a tree, a post or a trailer.

IPA is activated automatically when driving for-
wards. The system is operational at speeds of
up to approximately 19 MPH (30 km/h). While in
operation, the system independently locates
and measures parking spaces on both sides of
the vehicle
IPA will only detect parking spaces:
•Adjacent to the vehicle.
•Parallel or at right angles to the direction of
travel.
•That are parallel to the direction of travel and
are at least 5 ft (1.5 m) wide.
•That are parallel to the direction of travel and
at least 3.3 ft (1.0 m) longer than your
vehicle.
•That are at right angles to the direction of
travel and at least 3.3 ft (1.0 m) wider than
your vehicle.
NOTE
IPA cannot measure the length of a parking
space if it is at right angles to the direction of
travel. You will need to judge whether your ve-
hicle will fit in the parking space
When driving at speeds below 19 MPH (30
km/h) you will see parking symbol
2as a
status indicator in the vehicle information dis-
play. When a parking space has been detected,
an arrow towards the right
3or the left1also
appears. IPA only displays parking spaces on
the front-passenger side as standard. Parking
spaces on the driver’s side are displayed as
soon as the turn signal on the driver’s side is
activated. When parking on the driver’s side,
this must remain activated until you confirm the
use of IPA by pressing the button on the
steering wheel. The system automatically deter-
mines whether the parking space is parallel or
at right angles to the direction of travel. A parking space is displayed while you are
driving past it, and until you are approximately
50 ft (15 m) away from it.
PARKING
NOTE
When the parking sensor system detects ob-
stacles, you are responsible for braking in good
time.
1. Stop the vehicle when the parking symbol
shows the desired parking space in the
combination meter
2. Shift into position R. The [Start Park Assist? Yes: OK No:]
message appears in the vehicle information
display.
3. To cancel the procedure: press the
button on the steering wheel or pull away
or
4. To park using IPA press the button on
the steering wheel. The Park Assist [Observe
surroundings] message appears in the ve-
hicle information display.
5. Release the steering wheel.
6. Back up the vehicle, being ready to brake at all times. When backing up, drive at a speed

below 5 MPH (10 km/h). Otherwise, IPA will
be canceled.
7. Stop as soon as the parking sensor system sounds the continuous warning tone, if not
before. Maneuvering may be required in
tight parking spaces.
The [Park Assist active Select D Observe
surroundings] message appears in the ve-
hicle information display.
8. Select transmission position D (Drive) while the vehicle is stationary.
IPA immediately steers in the other direc-
tion.
The [Park Assist Observe surroundings] mes-
sage appears in the vehicle information dis-
play.
NOTE
You will achieve the best results by waiting
for the steering procedure to complete before
pulling away.
9. Drive forwards and be ready to brake at all times.
Maneuvering may be required in tight park-
ing spaces. Drive forward and back up as
prompted by the parking sensor system
warning displays, several times if necessary. 10. Stop as soon as the parking sensor system
sounds the continuous warning tone, if not
before.
The [Park Assist active Select R] [Observe
surroundings] message appears in the ve-
hicle information display.
As soon as the parking procedure is com-
plete the [Park Assist switched off] mes-
sage appears and a warning tone sounds.
The vehicle is now parked.
11. Before leaving the vehicle, secure the ve- hicle against rolling away unintentionally:
•The electric parking brake must be ap-
plied.
•The transmission must be in position P
(Park) and the transmission position dis-
play must show P in the vehicle informa-
tion display.
•The key must be removed from the igni-
tion switch.
•On uphill or downhill gradients, the front
wheels must be turned towards the curb.
IPA no longer supports you with steering inter-
ventions. When IPA is finished, you must steer
again yourself. The parking sensor system is
still available. Parking tips:
•The way your vehicle is positioned in the
parking space after parking is dependent on
various factors. These include the position
and shape of the vehicles parked in front and
behind it and the conditions of the location.
It may be the case that IPA guides you too far
into a parking space, or not far enough into
it. In some cases, it may also lead you across
or onto the curb. If necessary you should
cancel the parking procedure with IPA.
•During the parking maneuver, the system will
indicate when you should shift to R (Reverse)
or D (Drive). However, you can freely choose
to shift gear whenever you feel you need to.
Should the transmission change take place
too early, the parking procedure will be
canceled. A sensible parking position can no
longer be achieved from this position.
EXITING A PARKING SPACE
In order that IPA can support when exiting the
parking space:
•You need to have parked using IPA.
•The border of the parking space must be high
enough at the front and the rear. A curb
stone is too small, for example.
Starting and driving5-71

•The border of the parking space must not be
too wide, as the position of the vehicle must
not exceed an angle of 45 degrees to the
starting position as it is manoeuvred into the
parking space.
•A total front and back maneuvering distance
of at least 1.0 m must be available.
IPA can only assist you with exiting a parking
space if you have parked the vehicle parallel to
the direction of travel using IPA.
WARNING
•IPA is only an aid. It is not a substitute for
your attention to the immediate surround-
ings. The responsibility for safe maneuver-
ing and parking remains with you.
•Make sure that no persons, animals or ob-
jects are in the maneuvering range.
•When the parking sensor system is deacti-
vated, IPA is also unavailable.
•While parking or pulling out of a parking
space, the vehicle swings out and can drive
onto areas of the oncoming lane. This could
cause you to collide with other road users.
There is a risk of an accident.
•Pay attention to other road users. Stop the
vehicle if necessary or cancel the IPA park-
ing procedure.
1. Start the engine.
2. Release the electric parking brake.
3. Switch on the turn signal in the direction you are pulling away.
4. Vehicles with automatic transmission: shift
the transmission to position D or R
