Locking and unlocking withdetachable key blade
The detachable key blade can be used to unlock the vehicle from the outside, e.g. if the battery inthe remote key is discharged.
Unlocking
Pull the front left-hand door handle to its end position to access the lock cylinder.
Put the key in the lock cylinder.
Turn the key clockwise 45 degrees so that the key blade is pointing straight rearward.
Turn the key blade back 45 degrees to its original position. Remove the key from thelock cylinder and release the handle so that itreturns to its original position against thevehicle.
5. Pull the door handle. > The door will open. Lock the door in the same way, but turn the key45 degrees counterclockwise in step (3).
Turning off the alarm
NOTE
When the door is unlocked using the detach- able key blade and then opened, the alarmwill be triggered.
Location of the backup key reader in the cup holder.
Turn off the alarm by:
1. Place the remote control key on the key sym-
bol in the backup reader in the bottom of the cup holder in the tunnel console.
2. Turn the start knob clockwise and release it. > The start knob will automatically return toits original position - the alarm signal willstop and the alarm will be turned off.
LockingThe vehicle can also be locked using the remotekey's detachable key blade, e.g. if either the vehi-cle's or remote key's batteries are discharged. The left-hand front door can be locked by insert- ing the detachable key into the door's lock cylin-der. This is the only door with a lock cylinder. The other doors have lock mechanisms in the side ofthe door that must be pushed in using the keyblade. The door will then be locked mechanicallyand cannot be opened from the outside. The doors can still be opened from inside.
Manual door lock. This is not the child lock.
–Remove the detachable key blade from the remote key. Insert the key blade into theopening for the lock mechanism and pushthe key in as far as possible, about 12 mm.

• When the keyless locking or closing
* func-
tions are used, three audible signals willsound if the key is not detected closeenough to the tailgate.
CAUTION
When operating the tailgate manually, open and close it slowly. If you encounter resis-tance, do not use force. This could lead todamage and loss of function.
Interrupting opening or closingInterrupt opening or closing by doing one of the following:
• Press the button on the dashboard.
• Press the button on the remote key.
• Press the close button on the underside ofthe tailgate.
• Press the rubberized pressure plate on theunderside of the tailgate's outer handle.

Standby mode due to action by the driver
Adaptive Cruise Control will be temporarily deac- tivated and put in standby mode if:
• the brakes are applied.
• the gear selector is moved to
N
• the vehicle is driven faster than the setspeed for more than 1 minute
Temporarily increasing speed using the accelera-
tor pedal, e.g. when passing another vehicle, willnot affect the setting. The vehicle will return tothe set speed when the accelerator pedal isreleased.
Automatic standby mode
Adaptive Cruise Control is dependent on other systems, such as Electronic Stability Control (ESC 49
). If any of these other systems stops
working, Adaptive Cruise Control will automati- cally switch off.
WARNING
With automatic standby mode, the driver is warned by an acoustic signal and a messageon the instrument panel. • The driver must then regulate vehicle speed, apply the brakes if necessary, andmaintain a safe distance to other vehicles. Adaptive Cruise Control may go into standbymode if:
• your vehicle's speed goes below 5 km/h(3 mph) and ACC cannot determine if thevehicle ahead is stationary or if it is anotherobject, e.g. a speed bump.
• your vehicle's speed goes under 5 km/h(3 mph) and the vehicle ahead turns so thatACC no longer has a vehicle to follow.
• the driver opens the door.
• the driver unbuckles the seat belt.
• the engine speed (rpm) is too low/high.
• one or more of the wheels lose traction.
• the brake temperature is high.
• the parking brake is applied.
• the camera/radar sensor is covered by snowor heavy rain (the camera lens/radar wavesare blocked)
Reactivating Adaptive Cruise Control from standby mode
Note: This illustration is general and details may vary depending on model.
To reactivate ACC from standby mode:
–Press the button on the steering wheel
(1).
> Speed will be set to the most recently stored speed.
WARNING
A noticeable increase in speed may follow when the speed is resumed with the
steering wheel button.

Passing assistance with AdaptiveCruise Control Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC 50
) can assist the
driver when passing other vehicles.
How passing assistance worksWhen ACC is following another vehicle and you indicate that you intend to pass that vehicle by using the turn signal 51
, Adaptive Cruise Control
will begin accelerating toward the vehicle ahead before your vehicle has moved into the passing
lane. The function will then delay a speed reduction to avoid early braking as your vehicle approaches aslower-moving vehicle. The function remains active until your vehicle has passed the other vehicle.
WARNING
Please note that this function can be acti- vated in more situations than just passinganother vehicle, such as when a direction indi-cator is used to indicate a lane change orbefore exiting to another road – the vehiclewill then briefly accelerate.

Starting passing assistance withAdaptive Cruise Control
Requirements for passing assistanceIn order to activate passing assistance:
• your vehicle must be following a vehicle ahead (target vehicle)
• your vehicle's
current speed must be
at least 70 km/h (43 mph)
• the set speed
for ACC must be high
enough to safely pass another vehicle.
Starting parking assistanceTo start passing assistance:
–Turn on the left turn signal.
> Passing assistance will start.

* (p. 285)
Limitations of passing assistancewith Adaptive Cruise Control
Passing assistance functionality may be reduced in certain situations.
WARNING
The driver should be aware that if conditions suddenly change when using Parking Assis-tance, the function may implement an unde-sired acceleration in certain conditions. Some situations should be avoided, e.g. if: • the vehicle is approaching an exit in the same direction as passing would normallyoccur
• the vehicle ahead slows before your vehi-cle has had time to switch to the passinglane
• traffic in the passing lane slows down
• a vehicle for right-hand traffic is driven ina country with left-hand traffic (or viceversa).
Situations of this type can be avoided by tempo- rarily putting ACC 52
in standby mode.

Deactivating/reactivating PilotAssist
Pilot Assist can be temporarily put into standby mode and then reactivated.
Deactivating and putting Pilot Assist in standby mode
Note: This illustration is general and details may vary depending on model.
To temporarily deactivate Pilot Assist and put it in standby mode:
–Press the button on the steering wheel
(2).
> Pilot Assist goes into standby mode - the symbol (8) in the instrument panel changes color from WHITE to GRAY andthe set speed in the center of the speed-ometer will change from BEIGE to GRAY. ...or...
–Press the
◀ button on the steering wheel (3).
> Pilot Assist is turned off and Adaptive Cruise Control will go into active mode.
WARNING
• With Pilot Assist in standby mode, the driver must intervene and steer and regu-late both speed and distance to the vehi-cle ahead.
• If the vehicle comes too close to a vehicleahead when Pilot Assist is in standbymode, the driver is instead warned of theshort distance by the Distance Alert func-tion.
Standby mode due to action by the driver
Pilot Assist will be temporarily deactivated and put in standby mode if:
• the brakes are applied.
• the gear selector is moved to
N
• a turn signal is used for more than 1 minute.
• the vehicle is driven faster than the setspeed for more than 1 minute
Temporarily increasing speed using the accelera-tor pedal, e.g. when passing another vehicle, willnot affect the setting. The vehicle will return to the set speed when the accelerator pedal isreleased. When the turn signals are used, Pilot Assist's steering assistance will be temporarily deacti-vated. When the turn signal is switched off, steer-ing assistance will be automatically reactivated ifthe traffic lane's side markings can still bedetected.
