Driving and operating159Adopting 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
cruise control.
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 deactivated or
activated in the personalisation menu 3 105.
If the cruise control is active, the
recognised speed limit will be
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre and MEM illuminates.

The speed limiter may not operate
correctly if traffic signs do not comply
with the Vienna Convention on Road
Signs and Signals.
Adaptive cruise control
The adaptive cruise control is an
enhancement to the conventional
cruise control with the additional
feature of maintaining a certain
following distance to the vehicle
ahead. It uses radar and camerasensors to detect the vehicles ahead.
If no vehicle is detected in the driving path, the adaptive cruise control will
behave like a conventional cruise
control.
The adaptive cruise control
automatically decelerates the vehicle
when approaching a slower moving vehicle. It then adjusts the vehicle
speed to follow the vehicle ahead at
the selected following distance. The
vehicle speed increases or decreases
to follow the vehicle ahead, but will
not exceed the set speed. It may
apply limited braking with activated
brake lights.
If the vehicle ahead accelerates or changes lane, the adaptive cruise
control progressively accelerates the
vehicle to return to the stored set
speed. If the driver operates a the turn lights to overtake a slower vehicle, the
adaptive cruise control allows the
vehicle to temporarily approach the
vehicle ahead to help passing it.
However, the set speed will never be
exceeded.The adaptive cruise control can store set speeds over 19 mph for manual
transmission. If the vehicle ahead is
moving too slowly and the selected
following distance cannot be
maintained anymore, a warning
chime is given and a message is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre. The message prompts the
driver to take back control of the
vehicle. On vehicles with automatic
transmission, the system can brake
the vehicle until a full stop.9 Warning
The complete driver attention is
always required while driving with adaptive cruise control. The driver stays fully in control of the vehicle
because the brake pedal, the
accelerator pedal and the button
Ñ have priority over any adaptive
cruise control operation.

Driving and operating163Switching on the system
Press C, the symbol C is indicated in
the Driver Information Centre. The
system is still not active.
Activation of the functionality by
setting the speed
The adaptive cruise control has to be
switched on manually at a speed
between 19 mph and 112 mph. For
vehicles with automatic transmission, the automatic selector lever must be
in position D or M.
Accelerate to the desired speed and
move the thumb wheel to SET/-. The
current speed is stored and
maintained.
The speed value is indicated in the
Driver Information Centre.
When the adaptive cruise control is
operating, the stop-start system is
automatically deactivated.
Overriding set speed It is always possible to drive faster
than the selected set speed by
depressing the accelerator pedal.
When the accelerator pedal is
released, the vehicle returns to the
stored speed. If a slower moving
vehicle is ahead, the following
distance selected by the driver is
restored.
If the set speed is exceeded, the
indicated speed setting flashes in the Driver Information Centre and a
warning message appears.9 Warning
Accelerating by the driver
deactivates automatic braking by
the system. This is indicated as a
pop-up warning in the Driver
Information Centre.

164Driving and operatingIncreasing speed
With the adaptive cruise control
active, hold the thumb wheel moved
to RES/+ or briefly move to RES/+
repeatedly: The speed increases
continuously or in small increments.
Reducing speed
With the adaptive cruise control
active, hold the thumb wheel moved
to SET/- or briefly move to SET/-
repeatedly: The speed decreases
continuously or in small increments.
Resuming stored speed Move the thumb wheel to RES/+ at a
speed above 19 mph. The adaptive
cruise control is activated with the
stored set speed.
Taking over the speed limit from
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 taken over as new set speed
for the adaptive cruise control.With the 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 3 105.
If the adaptive cruise control is active,
the recognised speed limit will be
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre and MEM illuminates.
In the Driver Information Centre,
speed limit sign is shown in the
display 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 limit is now the new set
speed of the adaptive cruise control.Adaptive cruise control on
vehicles with automatic
transmission
For vehicles with automatic
transmission, adaptive cruise control
allows to maintain the selected
distance behind a stopping vehicle
until a complete stop is reached.
If the system has stopped your
vehicle behind another vehicle, then
the set speed is replaced by a green
control indicator .. This symbol
notifies, that the vehicle is hold
automatically in stop position.
If the stopped vehicle ahead was
stopped for a longer time and then
begins to move forward, the green
illuminated vehicle ahead control
indicator . will flash and a warning
chime will sound as a reminder to
check traffic before resuming.
When the vehicle ahead drives away,
press the accelerator pedal until
19 mph and then move the thumb
wheel to SET- or RES+ to resume
adaptive cruise control. If the vehicle
stays stopped for more than five
minutes or if the driver's door is

Driving and operating165opened and the driver's seat belt is
unfastened, then the electric parking
brake is applied automatically to hold
the vehicle. Control indicator m will
illuminate. To release electric parking
brake, press the accelerator pedal.
Electric parking brake 3 151.9 Warning
When the system is deactivated or
cancelled, the vehicle will no
longer be held at a stop and can
start moving. Be always prepared
to manually apply the brake to hold the vehicle stationary.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is
being held at a stop by adaptive
cruise control. Always move
selector lever to park position P
and switch off the ignition before
leaving the vehicle.
Setting the following distance
When adaptive cruise control detects
a slower moving vehicle in the driving path, it will adjust the vehicle speed tomaintain the following distance
selected by the driver.
The following distance can be set to
close (1 bar), normal (2 bars) or far (3 bars).
If the engine is running and the
adaptive cruise control is enabled
(grey), you can modify the following
distance setting:
Press Ö, the current setting is shown
in the Driver Information Centre.
Press Ö again to change the following
distance: The new setting is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre.
The selected following distance is
indicated by full bars in the adaptive
cruise control page.9 Warning
The driver accepts full
responsibility for the appropriate
following distance based on traffic, weather and visibility conditions.
Following distance must be
adjusted or the system switched
off when required by the prevailing
conditions.
Detecting the vehicle ahead
If the system detects a vehicle in the
driving path, the adaptive cruise
control symbol displayed in the Driver
Information Centre changes: - is
changed to w.
Deactivation of the functionality
Press Ñ, the adaptive cruise control
is in pause mode and a message is
displayed. The vehicle is driven
without adaptive cruise control.
The adaptive cruise control is
deactivated, but not disabled. The
last stored set speed remains in
memory for later usage.

166Driving and operatingThe adaptive cruise control is
deactivated automatically when:
● The brake pedal is depressed.
● The vehicle accelerates above 112 mph or slows down below
19 mph.
● The electric parking brake is applied.
● The Traction Control system or Electronic Stability Control is
deactivated or operating.
● The selector lever of automatic transmissions is neither in D nor
in M.
● A fault is detected in the Electronic Stability Control or the
radar system.
Switching off the system
Press C, the adaptive cruise control
mode is disabled and the adaptive
cruise control indication extinguishes
in the Driver Information Centre.
Pressing ß to activate the speed
limiter deactivates adaptive cruise
control.Switching off the ignition deletes the
stored set speed.
Driver's attention ● Use the adaptive cruise control carefully on bends or mountain
roads, as it can lose the vehicle
ahead and needs time to detect it again.
● Do not use the system on slippery roads as it can create
rapid changes in tyre traction
(wheel spinning), so that you
could lose control of the vehicle.
● Do not use the adaptive cruise control during rain, snow or
heavy dirt, as the radar sensor
can be covered by a water film,
dust, ice or snow. This reduces or
suppresses completely the
visibility. In case of sensor
blockage, clean the sensor
cover.
● Do not use the system when the spare wheel is in use.System limits9Warning
The system's automatic brake
force does not permit hard braking and the braking level may not be
sufficient to avoid a collision.
● After a sudden lane change, the system needs a certain time to
detect the next preceding
vehicle. So if a new vehicle is
detected, the system may
accelerate instead of braking.
● The adaptive cruise control does ignore the oncoming traffic.
● The adaptive cruise control does not consider pedestrians and
animals for braking and driving
off.
● The adaptive cruise control considers stopped vehicles only
at low speed.
