162Driving and operatingPress thumb wheel once briefly to
RES/+ or SET/- .
Following the preset speed can be set by pressing thumb wheel to RES/+ to
increase or SET/- to decrease the
desired maximum speed. Short press
changes preset speed in small steps, long press in large steps. Speed
value is indicated in the Driver
Information Centre.
Press Ñ to activate speed limiter.
Adopting speed by the traffic sign assistant
The intelligent speed adaptation
informs the driver when a speed limit
is detected by the traffic sign
assistant. The detected speed limit
can be used as new value for the
speed limiter.
Using a camera at the top of the
windscreen, this system detects and
reads speed limit and end of speed
limit signs. The system also takes
account of information on speed limits from the navigation map data.
The function can be activated or
deactivated in the personalisation
menu 3 106.
If the speed limiter is active, the
recognised speed limit will be
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre and MEM illuminates.
The displayed information depends
on the Driver Information Centre
version.
In the Driver Information Centre,
speed limit sign is shown and MEM
illuminates for a few seconds.
Press MEM on the steering wheel to
request saving of the suggested
speed.
Press MEM on the steering wheel
once more to confirm and save the
new speed setting.This speed is the new value for the
speed limiter.
Exceeding the speed limit
In the event of an emergency, it is
possible to exceed the speed limit by
depressing the accelerator pedal
firmly nearly to the final point.
Release the accelerator pedal and
the speed limiter function is
reactivated once a speed lower than
the limit speed is obtained.
Deactivation of the functionality
Press Ñ, speed limiter is in pause
mode and a message is displayed.
The vehicle is driven without speed
limit.
Speed limiter is deactivated, but not switched off. Last stored speed
remains in memory for later speed
resume.
Resume limit speed
Press Ñ, the stored speed limit will be
obtained.
172Driving and operatingActivation
A precondition is that forward collision
alert with front camera system is not
deactivated in the vehicle
personalisation menu 3 106.
Functionality
The system includes: ● brake preparation system
● emergency automatic braking ● forward looking brake assist
● intelligent brake assist (only with radar sensor)
● forward collision alert
● front pedestrian protection
Brake preparation system
When approaching a vehicle ahead
or a pedestrian so quickly that a
collision is likely, the brake
preparation system slightly
pressurises the brakes. This reduces
the response time when a braking is
required.Emergency automatic braking
After activation of brake preparation
system and just before the imminent
collision, this function automatically
applies limited braking to reduce the
impact speed of the collision or
prohibit a crash. If active emergency
braking is applied, m flashes in the
instrument cluster. Depending on the
situation, the vehicle may
automatically brake moderately or
hard. This front automatic braking can
only occur if a vehicle ahead is
detected 3 169 . On vehicles with front
pedestrian protection, front automatic
braking can also occur when a
pedestrian ahead is detected 3 174.
Emergency automatic braking may
slow the vehicle to a complete stop to try to avoid a potential crash. If this
happens, emergency automatic
braking may engage the electric
parking brake to hold the vehicle at a
stop. To release press the electric
parking brake button or firmly press
the accelerator pedal.9 Warning
Emergency automatic braking is
an emergency crash preparation
feature and is not designed to
avoid crashes. Do not rely on the
system to brake the vehicle.
Emergency automatic braking will
not brake outside of its operating speed range and only responds to
detected vehicles and
pedestrians.
Forward looking brake assist
In addition to the brake preparation
system and emergency automatic
braking, the forward looking brake
assist function makes the brake assist more sensitive. Therefore, pressing
the brake pedal less strongly results
in immediate hard braking. This
function helps the driver brake
quicker and harder before the
imminent collision.
Driving and operating187Auto mode is activated by default. In
this mode, the system selects the
best view, standard, or zoom, to
display according to the information
from the parking sensors.
The state of the system is not kept in
memory when the ignition is switched
off.
Standard view
The Standard view consists of a rear
view and a front view.Rear view
The area behind the vehicle is
displayed in the screen. The vertical
lines represent the width of the
vehicle with mirrors unfolded. The
direction of the lines changes with the position of the steering wheel.
The first horizontal line represents a
distance of about 30 cm beyond the
edge of vehicle's rear bumper. The
upper horizontal lines represent
distances of about 1 m and 2 m.
This view is available in auto mode or
in the view selection menu.Front view
The area in front the vehicle is
displayed in the screen. The vertical
lines represent the width of the
vehicle with mirrors unfolded. The
direction of the lines changes with the position of the steering wheel.
The first horizontal line represents a
distance of about 30 cm beyond the
edge of vehicle's front bumper. The
upper horizontal lines represent
distances of about 1 m and 2 m.
This view is available in auto mode or
in the view selection menu.
Auto mode
This mode is activated by default.
Using sensors in the rear or in the
front bumper, the automatic view
changes from rear view or front view
to a view from above, as an obstacle is approached during a manoeuvre.
Zoom view
The camera records the vehicle's
surroundings during the manoeuvre in order to reconstruct a view fromabove the rear or the front of the
vehicle in its near surroundings.Thus,
the vehicle can be manoeuvred
around obstacles nearby. This view is available with auto mode or in the
view selection menu.
