WARNING Risk ofexhaust gas poisoning
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
ga ses such as carbon monoxide. Exhaust
ga ses can enter theve hicle interior if the
boot lid is open when the engine is running,
especially if theve hicle is in motion. #
Alw ays switch off the engine before
opening the boot lid. #
Never drive with the boot lid open. &

If objects, luggage or loads are not secured
or not secured suf ficientl y,they could slip,
tip ove r or be throw n around and thereby hit
ve hicle occupants.
There is a risk of injur y,particularly in the

WARNING Risk of accident due tomis‐
judgement of dis tances when using the
outside mir ror
The outside mir rors reflect objects on a
smaller scale. The objects in view are in fact
closer than they appear.
As a result, you may misjud gethe dis tance
between you and thero ad user driving

nction of thest ationary heater/stationary
ve ntilation
R The air in theve hicle interior is heated or
ve ntilated tothe set temp erature.
R The air in theve hicle interior cannot be
cooled down totemp eratures below the out‐
side temp erature.
R Ifth e outside temp erature changes, ventila‐

mode or from heating mode toventilation
mode.
The stationary heater and theex haust gas outlet
are situated at theright-hand front wheel.

DANG ER Risk of fata l injury due topoi‐
sonous exhaust gases
If th eta ilpipe is bloc ked or suf ficient ventila‐
tion is not possible, poisonous exhaust gases
such as carbon monoxide may enter theve hi‐ cle. This is
the case in enclosed spaces or if
th eve hicle gets stuck in sn ow,fo rex ample. #
Alw ays switch thest ationary heater off
in enclosed spaces without an air
ex traction sy stems, e.g. in garage s. #
Keep theta ilpipe and the area around
th eve hicle free from snow when the
engine or thest ationary heater are run‐
ning. #
Open a window on the windward side of
th eve hicle toensure an adequate sup‐
ply of fresh air. &
WARNING Risk offire due tohot station‐
ary heater components
When thest ationary heater is swit ched on,
parts of theve hicle can become very hot,
e.g. thest ationary heater exhaust sy stem. Flammable materials such as lea
ves, grass or
twigs may ignite if they come into contact
wi th:
R hot parts of thest ationary heater exhaust
sy stem
R theex haust gas itself #
When thest ationary heater is swit ched
on, make sure that:
R hot vehicle parts do not come into
contact with flammable materials.
R theex haust gas can flow out of the

If
yo u accelerate toove rtake, forex ample, the
st ored speed is not dele ted. If youre mo veyour
fo ot from the accelerator pedal af terove rtaking,
cruise control will resume speed regulation back
to thestored speed.
Yo u can operate cruise cont rol with the cruise
control le ver.
If yo ufa ilto adapt your driving style, cruise con‐
trol can neither reduce therisk of an accident
nor override the la wsof ph ysics. It cannot take
into account road, weather or traf fic conditions.
Cruise control is only an aid. You are responsible
fo rth e dis tance totheve hicle in front, forve hi‐
cle speed, for braking in good time and forst ay‐
ing in lane.
Sy stem limitations
Cruise control may be unable tomaintain the
st ored speed on uphill gradients. The stored
speed is resumed when the gradient evens out.
Change into a lo werge ar in good time on long
and steep downhill gradients. Take particular
no te ofthis when driving a laden vehicle. By
doing so, you will make use of the braking ef fect
of the engine. This relie vesth e load on the brake sy
stem and pr events the brakes from overheat‐
ing and wearing tooqu ickl y.
Do not use cruise control in thefo llowing situa‐
tions:
R In traf fic situations whi chrequ ire frequent
ch anges of speed, e.g. in heavy traf fic, on
winding roads.
R On slippe ryroads. Accelerating can cause
th e drive wheels tolose traction and the
ve hicle could then skid.
R Ifyo u are driving when visibility is poor.
Fu nction of the limi ter
The limiter restricts the speed of theve hicle. To
re duce the speed swiftly tothe set speed, the
limiter applies the brakes automaticall y.
Yo u can limit the speed as follo ws:
R Variable: for speed limits, e.g. in built-up
areas.
R Perm anen t:for long-term speed restrictions,
e.g. when driving wi thwinter tyres fitted.
If yo ufa ilto adapt your driving style, the limiter
can neither reduce therisk of an accident nor ov
erride the la wsof ph ysics. It cannot take into
account road, weather or traf fic conditions. The
limiter is only an aid. You are responsible forthe
dis tance totheve hicle in front, forve hicle
speed, for braking in good time and forst ay ing
in lane.
Yo u can operate theva riable limiter with the
cruise control le ver.Yo u can store any road
speed abo ve20 km/h. You can also per form
settings while theve hicle is stationary if the
ve hicle has been star ted.
Kickdown
If yo u depress the accelera tor pedal be yond the
pressure point (kickdown), the limiter switches
to passive mode. The Limiter passivemessage
appears in the multifunction displa y.
Af ter completion of kickdown, theva riable lim‐
iter is activated again in thefo llowing situations:
R Ifth e driven speed drops below thestored
speed.
R Ifth estored speed is called up.
R Ifyo ustore a new speed. 202

If
yo u activate the turn signal indicator tochange
lanes, theve hicle will accelerate more briskly to
th e set speed under thefo llowing conditions:
R Active Dis tance Assi stDISTRONIC is acti va‐
te d.
R Ifth e driving speed is higher than 70 km/h.
R Ifth e driven speed drops below thestored
speed.
R The sy stem cann otdetect a vehicle in there l‐

stem may be impaired or may not function
in thefo llowing ins tances, forex ample:
R In sn ow,ra in, fog, heavy spr ay, if there is
gl are, in direct sunlight or in great lyvarying
light conditions.
R The windsc reen in the area of the camera is
dirty, mis ted up, damaged or co vered.
R Ifth era dar sensors are dirty or co vered.
R On slippery roads, braking or accelerating
can cause the drive wheels tolose traction
and theve hicle could then skid.
R In multi-s torey car par ks,to llst ations or on
ro ads with steep uphill or downhill gradients.
Do not use Active Dis tance Assi stDISTRONIC in
th ese situations.
Tips
Pa y particular attention in thefo llowing traf fic
situations. In such situations, brake if necessar y.
Ac tive Dis tance Assi stDISTRONIC is then deacti‐
va ted:
R When cornering, entering and exiting a bend.
R When not driving in the cent reofthe lane. R
When other vehicles are changing lane.
