WARNING Risk of entrapment when set‐
ting the seat with the memory function
When the memory function adjusts the seat
or steering wheel, you and other vehicle
occupants – particularly children – could
become trapped.
#During the setting procedure of the
memory function, ensure that no body
parts are in the sweep of the seat or
th esteering wheel.
#If somebody becomes trapped, immedi‐
ately release the memory function posi‐
tion button.
The adjustment process is stopped.
&
WARNING Risk of entrapment if the
memory function is activated bychildren
Children could become trapped if they acti‐
va te the memory function, particularly when
unattended.
#Ne ver lea vechildren unatte nded inthe

WARNING Risk of accident despite
Ad aptive Highbeam Assist
Ad aptive Highbeam Assist does not recog‐
nize thefo llowing road users:
RRo ad users without lights, e.g. pedes‐
trians
RRo ad users with poor lighting, e.g.
cyclists
RRo ad users whose lighting is obstructed,
e.g. bya bar rier
On very rare occasions, Adaptive Highbeam
Assist may failto recognize other road users
with their own lighting, or may recognize
th em too late.
In these or similar situations, the automatic
high beam is not deactivated or is activated
despite the presence of other road users.
#Alw ays obser vethe tra ffic carefully and
switch off the high beam in good time.
Ad aptive Highbeam Assist switch es automati‐
cally between:
RLow beam
RHigh beam
At speeds abo ve19 mp h (30 km/h):
RIf no other road users are de tected, the high
beam is automatically switched on.

WARNING Risk of injury from adjusting
th eve hicle settings while theve hicle is in
motion
Yo u could lose cont rol of theve hicle in the
fo llowing situations:
Rifyo u adjust the driver's seat, the head
re stra int, thesteering wheel or the mir ror
while theve hicle is in motion
Rifyo ufa sten your seat belt while theve hi‐
cle is in motion
#Before starting the engine: adjust the
driver's seat, the head restra int, the
steering wheel or the mir ror and fasten
yo ur seat belt.
&
WARNING Risk of accident due tomis‐
judgment of dis tances when using the
passenger mir ror
The outside mir ror on the front passenger
side reflects 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
behind you, forex ample, when changing
lanes.
#Therefore, alw ays look over your shoul‐
der in order toensure that you are
aw are of the actual dis tance between
yo u and thero ad users driving behind
yo u.#To fold in or out: brieflypress button 1.
% Ifth e battery has been disconnected or com‐
ple tely discharged ,th e outside mir rors must
be reset. Only then will the automatic mir ror
fo lding function workproperly.

During kickdown, you cannot shift gears using
th esteering wheel paddle shif ters. The au to‐
matic transmission shifts up tothe next gear
when the maximum engine speed is reached to
pr otect the engine from overrev ving.
#Ease off the accelera tor pedal once the
desired speed is reached.
Glide mode function
Wi th an anticipatory driving style, glide mode
helps youto reduce fuel consum ption.
Glide mode is characterized bythefo llowing:
RThe combustion engine is disconnected from

Fu nctions of ABS (anti-lock braking sy stem)
ABS regulates the brake pressure in critical driv‐
ing situations:
RDuring braking, the wheels are pr evented
from blocking, e.g. due tomaximum full-s top
braking or insuf ficient traction of the tires.
RVe hicle steerability while braking is ensured.
If ABS inter venes when braking, youwill feel a
pulsing in the brake pedal. The pulsating brake
pedal can be an indication of hazardous road
conditions and can ser veas a reminder totake
ex tra care while driving.
Sy stem limitations
RABS is active from speeds of appr ox. 5 mph
(8 km/h).
RABS may be impaired or may not function if a

Speed control cruise control
Function of cruise control
Cruise cont rol accelerates and brakes theve hi‐
cle automatically in order tomaintain a pr evi‐
ously stored speed.
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, youwill 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
wearin
g tooqu ickl y.
Do not use cruise control in thefo llowing situa‐
tions:
RIn traf fic situations whi chrequ ire frequent
ch anges of speed, e.g. in heavy traf fic, on
winding roads
ROn slippery roads. Accelerating can cause
th e drive wheels tolose traction and the
ve hicle could then skid
RWhen visibility is poor

RIt uses as arefere nce theve hicle in front or
th e lane markings, depending on the driven
speed.
RSt eering Pilot requiresyou as the driver, to
ke ep your hands onthesteering wheel at all
times so that you are abletointer vene at any
time tocor rect the course of theve hicle and
ke ep it in lane.
RSteering Pilot can be overridden at any time
by steering theve hicle yourself.
RIfth e sy stem de tects that there are no lane
markings, it uses theve hicle ahead as a ref‐
erence up toa speed of 80 mph (130 km/h).
RWhen the sy stem is actively steering, the
è symbol is shown in green in the multi‐
function displa y.
Sy stem limitations of Steering Pilot
St eering Pilot has a limited steering torque for
lateral guidance. In some cases, thesteering
inter vention is not suff icienttokeep theve hicle
in the lane.
If de tection of lane markings and vehicles ahead
is impaired, Steering Pilot switches topassive
mode. The sy stem pr ovides no support in this case. During
the transition from the active to
passive status, theè symbol is shown as
enlar ged and flashes yello w. Once the sy stem is
passive theè symbol is shown as gr ayinthe
multifunction displa y.
The sy stem may be impaired or may not function
in thefo llowin

RIfth ere is poor visibility, e.g. due toinsuf fi‐
cient illumination of thero ad, or due tosno w,

RIfth ere is glare, e.g. from oncoming traf fic,

RIfth e windshield is dirty, fogged up, damaged
or co vered, for ins tance byast icke r,in the

RIf no, or se veral, unclear lane markings are
present for one lane, e.g. in a construction
area.
RIf th e lane markings are wornaw ay, dark or
co vered up, e.g. bydirt or sno w.
RThe distance totheve hicle in front is too
small and the lane markings thus cannot be
de tected.
RIfth e lane markings change quickl y,e.g.
lanes branch off, cross one ano ther or

RThe road is nar rowand winding.
RIfth ere are highly variable shade conditions
