Driving and operating155For safety reasons the cruise controlcannot 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.
With manual transmission
automated, only activate cruise
control in automatic mode.
Control indicators m and U 3 97.
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.
Control 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.

156Driving and operatingIncrease 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 m
extinguishes in the instrument cluster.
Automatic deactivation: ● vehicle speed drops below 30 km/h
● the brake pedal is depressed
● the clutch pedal is depressed
● selector lever in N
The speed is stored and a
corresponding message appears in
the Driver Information Centre.
Reactivation
Press R at a speed above 30 km/h.
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.
Cruise control speed limiter
The speed limiter prevents the
vehicle exceeding a preset maximum speed above 30 km/h.

Driving and operating157Activation
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.
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 Driver Information Centre during this period.
Release the accelerator pedal and
the speed limiter function is
reactivated once a speed lower than
the limit speed is obtained.Note
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 3 158.
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.
Deleting the limit speed
Press U.
Yellow control indicator U
extinguishes in the instrument cluster.

162Driving and operating● the rear doors/tailgate are notclosed correctly
● the vehicle had a rear-end accident
● there are extreme temperature changes
Lane departure warning The lane departure warning system
uses a front camera to observe the
lane markings between which the
vehicle is driving. The system detects
lane changes and warns the driver in
the event of an unintended lane
change via visual and acoustic
signals.
Criteria for the detection of an
unintended lane change are:
● no operation of turn and lane- change signals
● no active steering
If the driver is performing these
actions, no warning will be issued.Activation
The lane departure warning system is activated by pressing ì in the roof
console; LED in the button
extinguishes to indicate that the
system is switched on.
When control indicator ì 3 94
illuminates in the instrument cluster,
the system is ready to operate. A
corresponding message also
appears in the Driver Information
Centre 3 98.
Control indicator ì extinguishes
when the system is not ready to warn the driver.
The system is only operable at
vehicle speeds above 60 km/h and if
lane markings are available and
detected.
If the turn and lane-change signals
are not operated when changing
lanes, i.e. an unintended lane change

Vehicle care211For mechanical removal of ice, use a
sharp-edged ice scraper. Press the
scraper firmly against the glass so
that no dirt can get under it and
scratch the glass.
Remove dirt residues from smearing
wiper blades by using a soft cloth and
window cleaner. Also make sure to
remove any residues such as wax,
insect residues and similar from the
window.
Wheels and tyres
Do not use high-pressure jet
cleaners.
Clean rims with a pH-neutral wheel
cleaner.
Rims are painted and can be treated
with the same agents as the body.
Paintwork damageRectify minor paintwork damage with
a touch-up pen before rust forms.
Have more extensive damage or rust
areas repaired by a workshop.Underbody
Some areas of the vehicle underbody
have a PVC undercoating while other
critical areas have a durable
protective wax coating.
After the underbody is washed, check
the underbody and have it waxed if
necessary.
Bitumen/rubber materials could
damage the PVC coating. Have
underbody work carried out by a
workshop.
Before and after winter, wash the
underbody and have the protective
wax coating checked.
Towing equipment Do not clean the coupling ball bar with
a steam-jet or high-pressure jet
cleaner.Interior care
Interior and upholstery Only clean the vehicle interior,
including the instrument panel fascia
and panelling, with a dry cloth or
interior cleaner.
Clean leather upholstery with clear
water and a soft cloth. In case of
heavy soiling, use leather care.
The instrument cluster and the
displays should only be cleaned using
a soft damp cloth. If necessary use a
weak soap solution.
Clean fabric upholstery with a
vacuum cleaner and brush. Remove
stains with an upholstery cleaner.
Clothing fabrics may not be
colourfast. This could cause visible
discolourations, especially on light- coloured upholstery. Removable
stains and discolourations should be
cleaned as soon as possible.
Clean seat belts with lukewarm water or interior cleaner.
