Setting/changing set speed
Note: This illustration is general and details may vary depending on model.
For vehicles with only CC
–Change a set speed by pressing the (1)
or
(3) buttons briefly or by pressing and
holding them:
• Press briefly
: Press briefly: each press
changes the speed in +/- 1 mph (+/- 1 km/h) increments.
• Press
and hold: Release the button when
the set speed indicator (4) has moved tothe desired speed. •
The most recently set speed will be stored.
If speed is increased by depressing the accelera- tor pedal while pressing the
(1) button on
the steering wheel, the vehicle's speed when the button is pressed will be stored as the set speed. 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.
For vehicles with both CC and ACC
–Change a set speed by pressing the (1)
or
(3) buttons briefly or by pressing and
holding them:
• Press briefly
: Press briefly: each press
changes the speed in +/- 5 mph (+/- 5 km/h) increments.
• Press
and hold: Release the button when
the set speed indicator (4) has moved tothe desired speed.
• The most recently set speed will be stored.
If speed is increased by depressing the accelera- tor pedal while pressing the
(1) button on
the steering wheel, the vehicle's speed when the button is pressed will be stored as the set speed. Temporarily increasing speed using the accelera- tor pedal, e.g. when passing another vehicle, will not affect the setting. The vehicle will return tothe set speed when the accelerator pedal isreleased.
Using engine braking instead of
applying the brakes
Cruise Control regulates speed by lightly applyingthe brakes. On downgrades, it can sometimes bedesirable to roll a bit faster and let speed bereduced instead by engine braking alone. Thedriver can temporarily disengage the Cruise Con-trol braking function. To disengage CC:
–Press the accelerator pedal about halfway down and then release it.
> Cruise Control will automatically disen- gage the automatic brake function and speed will only be reduced using theengine braking function.
How drive mode affects cruise controlThe way the cruise control maintains the vehicle'sspeed can vary depending on the selected drive mode 30

The Distance Alert 34
function can help the driver
become aware if the time interval to the vehicle in front is too short. However, the vehicle must be equipped with a head-up display in order to display the DistanceAlert, which will then be indicated by a symbolon the windshield as long as the time interval tothe vehicle ahead is shorter than the set timeinterval.
Distance Alert is active at speeds above 30 km/h (20 mph) and only reacts for vehicles ahead mov-ing in the same direction as your vehicle. No dis-tance information is provided for oncoming, slow-moving or stationary vehicles.

When the vehicle is approaching an off-ramp or a fork in the road, the driver should steer towardthe desired lane to indicate to Pilot Assist thedesired direction of travel.
Pilot Assist strives to keep the vehicle
in the center of the lane
When Pilot Assist provides steering assistance, itstrives to position the vehicle in the center of thelane between the lane markings. For the smooth-est driving experience possible, the driver shouldpermit the vehicle to find the optimal positioning.The driver should check that the vehicle is posi-tioned safely in the lane and can always adjustthe vehicle's position by applying more force tothe steering wheel. If Pilot Assist does not position the vehicle appro- priately in the lane, the driver should turn off PilotAssist or switch to Adaptive Cruise Control.

Automatic transmission
Pilot Assist can follow another vehicle at speeds from a standstill up to 200 km/h (125 mph). The lowest speed that can be set for Pilot Assist is 30 km/h (20 mph). When following anothervehicle, ACC can monitor that vehicle's speedand slow your own vehicle down to a standstill,but it is not possible to set speeds lower than30 km/h (20 mph). The highest possible speed that can be set is200 km/h (125 mph).

Setting a time interval for PilotAssist
Pilot Assist can be set to different time intervals.
Different time intervals to the vehicle ahead can be selectedand are shown in the instru-ment panel as 1–5 horizontalbars. The more bars, the longerthe time interval. One bar rep-resents an interval of
approx. 1 second to the vehicle ahead. 5 barsrepresents approx. 3 seconds.
NOTE
When the symbol in the instrument panel shows a vehicle and a steering wheel, PilotAssist follows a vehicle ahead at a presettime interval. When only a steering wheel is shown, there is no vehicle ahead within a reasonable dis-tance.

Camera view when manually starting
the camera
Start the Park Assist Camera using this button in the centerdisplay's Function view. The screen will first show the most recently used cameraview. However, each time the
engine is started, the previous side view will bereplaced by the 360° view and a previously dis-played zoomed-in rear view will be replaced bythe regular rear view.
Automatically deactivating the cameraFront view switches off when the vehicle's speed reaches 25 km/h (16 mph) to help avoid dis-tracting the driver. It will be automatically reactiva-ted if the vehicle's speed falls below 22 km/h(14 mph) within 1 minute as long as the vehicle'sspeed has not exceeded 50 km/h (31 mph). Other camera views switch off at 15 km/h(9 mph) and are not reactivated.
