Automatic brake assist when speeding
If a velocity of 7 km / h is exceeded during the parking manoeuvre for the first
time, the speed will be automatically reduced by the system to less than 7 km /
h. This prevents the parking manoeuvre from aborting.
Automatic emergency braking
If the system detects a risk of collision during parking, automatic emergency
braking takes place to prevent a collision.
The parking is terminated by the emergency braking.
CAUTION
The automatic emergency braking is not triggered by the system when the
parking process stops due to the speed of 7 km / hr being exceeded!
Malfunctions

If, for some unknown reason, the system is not available, an appropriate mes-
sage appears in the display of the instrument cluster.
System unavailable
If the system is not available because the vehicle has a fault, a message ap-
pears concerning the unavailability. Seek help from a specialist garage.
System fault
In the case of a system fault, an error message appears. Seek help from a spe-

Cruise Control System
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Operation
121
Operation description
122The Cruise Control System (CCS) maintains a set speed without you having to
actuate the accelerator pedal. The state where the CCS maintains the speed is
referred to hereinafter as the control.WARNINGThe general information relating to the use of assistance systems must be
observed » page 110, in section General information .
Operation
Read and observe
on page 121 first.
Basic requirements for start of control The CCS is activated.
On vehicles with a manual transmission , the second gear or higher is en-
gaged.
On vehicles with an automatic transmission , the selector lever is in the
D/S position or in the Tiptronic position.
The current speed is higher than 20 km/h.
This, however, is only possible to the extent permitted by the engine output
and braking power of the vehicle.
WARNINGIf the engine output or engine braking effect is insufficient to maintain the
set speed, the driver must assume control of the accelerator and brake
pedals!121Assist systems

If no speed is set the current speed is adopted.
Once the controls are activated, the CCS maintains the vehicle at the set
speed; the warning light  lights up in the instrument cluster.
After the interruption in control, the stored speed can be resumed by pressing
the
B
button.
Controls are automatically interrupted if any of the following occur.
▶ By pressing the brake or clutch pedal.
▶ When one of the brake assist systems (e.g. ESC) intervenes.
▶ Through an airbag deployment.
WARNING■ Always deactivate the cruise control system after use to prevent the sys-
tem being switched on unintentionally.■
Control may only be resumed if the set speed is not too high for the cur-
rent traffic conditions.
NoteDuring control, speed can be increased by pressing the accelerator pedal. Re-
leasing the accelerator pedal will cause the speed to drop again to the set
speed.
Fatigue detection
The fatigue detection system (hereinafter referred to as system) recommends
the driver takes a break from driving when driver fatigue can be detected due
to the driver's steering behaviour.
From the starting of the journey, the system evaluates the steering behaviour
at speeds 65-200 km/h. If, while driving, there have been changes in the steer-
ing behaviours that are evaluated by the system as indicating possible fatigue,
a break recommendation is issued.
Conditions under which a break from driving is detected by the system ▶ The vehicle is stopped and the ignition switched off.
▶ The vehicle is stopped, the seat belt removed and the driver's door opened.
▶ The vehicle is stopped for more than 15 minutes.
If none of these conditions are met or if the driving style is not changed, the
system recommends a driving break again after 15 minutes.
The system can be activated / deactivated in MAXI DOT display » page 43.
Pause recommendation
The icon appears and the following message for a few seconds in the display
of the instrument cluster  and a message about the detected fatigue. An au-
dible signal is also emitted.
WARNING■ The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 110, in section General information .■
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. 
122Driving

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
Fig. 142
Key for storing the pressure val-
ues
The tyre pressure monitoring function (hereinafter referred to as the 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 is heard » page 36, 
Tyre pressure .
The system can only function properly if the tyres have the prescribed inflation
pressure and these pressure values are stored in the system.
Procedure for storing the tyre pressure values
›
Inflate all the tyres to the specified pressure.
›
Switch on the ignition.
›
Press the button 
» Fig. 142 and hold.
The warning light 
lights up in the instrument cluster.
An acoustic signal and the control indicator provide information about the
storage of the tyre pressure values.
›
Release the button 
.
Always save the tyre pressure values in the system if one of the following
events occurs.
▶ Change of tyre inflation pressure.
▶ Change one or more wheels.
▶ Change in position of a wheel on the vehicle.
▶ Illumination of the warning light 
in the instrument cluster.
WARNING■
The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 110, in section General information .■
Having the correct tyre inflation pressure is always the driver's responsi-
bility. Tyre pressure should be checked regularly » page 151.
■
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 151. If the wrong pressure valuesare stored, the
system may not issue any warnings, even if the tyre pressure is too low.
CAUTION
Save the tyre pressure values every 10,000 km or 1x annually to ensure correct
system functioning.123Assist systems

The speed limit for all-season or “winter”Tires can be adjusted in MAXI
DOTDisplay in the menu item winter tires
» page 43 .
If the vehicle has all-season or “winter”tires of a lower speed category then
the specified maximum speed of the vehicle (referring to tyres that have not
been delivered by the factory, a warning label with the maximum value of the
speed category provided for the mounted tyres must be fixed in the interior of
the vehicle in a constantly visible place in the driver’s field of vision. The warn-
ing label (sticker) can be replaced by setting maximum value of the mounted
tire speed rating in the MAXI DOTDisplay in the
winter tires
menu item 1)
. This
specification defines the maximum vehicle speed with mounted all-season or
“winter”tyres that may not be exceeded.
Snow chains
The snow chains improve handling in wintry road conditions.
Remove the full wheel trims before installing the snow chains » page 156.
Only fit snow chains with links and locks not larger than 12 mm.
The use of snow chains on vehicles with front-wheel drive and on vehicles
with four-wheel drive differs.

At a tyre inflation pressure of 2.0–2.5 bar, the journey can be continued at a
maximum speed of 80 km/h or 50 mph.
WARNING■ If the tire does not inflate at least. 2.0 bar, the damage is too great. The
sealing agent cannot be used to seal the tyre.  Stop driving! Seek help
from a specialist garage.■
The tyre inflation hose and air compressor may get hot as the tyre is be-
ing inflated – risk of burning.
