operation and traffic safety9 Warning
Mobile phones have effects on
your environment. For this reason safety regulations and directions
have been prepared. You should
be familiar with the related
directions before you use the
telephone function.
9 Warning
Use of the hands-free facility while
driving can be dangerous because
your concentration is reduced
when telephoning. Park your
vehicle before you use the hands- free facility. Follow the stipulations
of the country in which you find
yourself at present.
Do not forget to follow the special
regulations that apply in specific
areas and always switch off the
mobile phone if the use of mobile
phones is prohibited, if
interference is caused by the
mobile phone or if dangerous
situations can occur.

Bluetooth is a radio standard for the
wireless connection of e.g. mobile
phones, smartphones or other
devices.
Via the Bluetooth menu, pairing (PIN
code exchange between Bluetooth
device and Infotainment system) and
connecting of the Bluetooth devices
to the Infotainment system are carried out.

Pairing a device
Important information ● Up to ten devices can be paired to the system.
● Only one paired device can be connected to the Infotainment
system at a time.
● Pairing only needs to be carried out once, unless the device is
deleted from the list of paired
devices. If the device has been
226Driving and operatingDeactivation
Adaptive cruise control is deactivated by the driver when:
● y is pressed.
● Brake pedal is applied.
● Clutch pedal is depressed for more than four seconds.
● Selector lever of automatic transmission is moved to N.
The system is also automatically
deactivated when:
● Vehicle speed accelerates above
120 mph or slows down below
28 mph.
● The Traction Control system is operating.
● Electronic Stability Control is operating.
● There is no traffic and nothing detected on the road sides forseveral minutes. In this casethere are no radar echoes and
the sensor may report that it is
blocked.
● The active emergency braking system is applying the brakes.● Driving on steep inclines.
● Radar sensor is blocked by an ice
or water film.
● A fault is detected in the radar, engine or brake system.
When adaptive cruise control is
deactivated, the control indicator m
changes from green to white and a
pop-up message is displayed in the
Driver Information Centre.
The stored speed is maintained and
indicated in brackets in the Driver
Information Centre. The system is
deactivated but not switched off.
9 Warning
When adaptive cruise control is
deactivated, the driver must take
over full brake and engine control.
Switching off
Press C to switch off adaptive cruise
control. The control indicator m and
C in the Driver Information Centre
extinguish. The stored speed is
deleted.
Switching off the ignition also
switches off adaptive cruise control
and deletes the stored speed.
Driver's attention ● Use adaptive cruise control carefully on bends or mountain
roads, as it can lose the vehicle
ahead and require 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 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 completely suppresses the
Driving and operating227visibility. In case of sensor
blockage, clean the sensor
cover.
System limits ● 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.
● Adaptive cruise control does ignore the oncoming traffic.
● Adaptive cruise control does not brake for pedestrians, animals,very slow speed driving or
stopped vehicles.
● Don't use adaptive cruise control when towing a trailer.Bends
The adaptive cruise control calculates
a predicted path based on the
centrifugal force. This predicted path
considers the current bend
characteristic, but cannot consider a
future bend change. The system may lose the current vehicle ahead or
consider a vehicle which is not in the
actual lane. This can happen when
entering or exiting a bend or if the
bend gets stronger or weaker. If it no
longer detects any vehicle ahead,
then control indicator A will
extinguish.
If the centrifugal force is too high in a bend, the system slows down the vehicle slightly. This braking level is
not designed to avoid spinning off the bend. The driver is responsible for
reducing the selected speed before
entering a bend and in general to
adapt the speed to the road type and
to existing speed limits.
Motorways
On motorways, adapt the set speed
to the situation and the weather.
Always consider that adaptive cruise
control has a limited visibility range, a
limited braking level and a certain
reaction time to verify if a vehicle is in
the driving path or not. Adaptive
cruise control may not be able to
brake the vehicle in time to avoid a
collision with a much slower vehicle or after a lane change. This is
particularly true if driving fast or if the
visibility is reduced due to weather
conditions.
While entering or exiting a motorway,
adaptive cruise control may lose the
vehicle ahead and accelerate up to
230Driving and operatingSelecting the alert sensitivity
The alert sensitivity can be set to
near, medium or far.
Press E; the current setting is shown
in the Driver Information Centre.
Press E again to change the alert
sensitivity. The setting is also displayed in the top line of the Driver
Information Centre.
Note that the alert timing sensitivity
setting is shared with the following
distance setting of the adaptive cruise control. So changing the alert timing
sensitivity changes the adaptive
cruise control following distance
setting.
Alerting the driver
The vehicle ahead control indicator
A illuminates green in the instrument
cluster when the system has detected
a vehicle in the driving path.
Caution
The colour lighting of this control
indicator does not correspond to
local traffic laws on following
distance. The driver bears full
responsibility for maintaining safe
following distance according to
applicable traffic rules, weather
and road conditions etc. at all
times.
When the distance to a preceding
moving vehicle gets too small or when
approaching another vehicle too rapidly and a collision is imminent the collision alert symbol pops-up in the
Driver Information Centre and a
warning chime sounds. Depress the
brake pedal, if it is required by the
situation.
