Turn light switch:
AUTO:automatic light control
switches automatically
between daytime running
light and headlight8:sidelights9:headlights
When switching on the ignition,
automatic light control is active.
Control indicator 8 3 110.
Lighting139Particular LEDs, based on steering
angle and speed, are additionally
triggered to improve lighting in
curves. This function is activated at
speeds from 40 km/h to 70 km/h.
Corner light
When turning off, depending on the
steering angle and the turn light, particular LEDs are triggered whichilluminate the direction of travel. It is
activated up to a speed of 40 km/h.
Reverse parking function
To assist driver's orientation when
parking, both corner lights and
reversing light illuminate when
headlights are on and reverse gear is
engaged. They remain illuminated for
a short time after disengaging reverse gear or until driving faster than
7 km/h in a forward gear.
Dynamic automatic headlight
levelling
To prevent oncoming traffic frombeing dazzled, headlight levelling is
automatically adjusted based on
inclination information measured by
front and rear axle, acceleration or
deceleration and vehicle speed.
Headlights when driving abroad 3 137.
Fault in LED headlight system
When the system detects a failure in
the LED headlight system, it selects a preset position to avoid dazzling of
oncoming traffic. A warning is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre.
Hazard warning flashers
Operated by pressing ¨.
In the event of an accident with airbag
deployment, the hazard warning
flashers are activated automatically.
186Driving and operatingAdaptive 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 in front, but will
not exceed the set speed. It may
apply limited braking with activated
brake lights.
To facilitate overtaking a vehicle on
the motorway, the activation of the
turn lights reduces the following
distance for a short time. This function is implemented only on the respective
driver's side depending on left or right
hand drive vehicle configuration.
The adaptive cruise control can store set speed over 30 km/h. On vehicles
with automatic transmissions the
system can brake until a full stop and
drive off from a stop.Adaptive cruise control uses radar
and camera sensors 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
3 182.
For additional information including a
video, visit us online.
Adaptive cruise control is mainly
advised to be used on long straight
roads like highways or country roads
with steady traffic. Do not use the
system if it is not advisable to
maintain a constant speed.
Control indicator A 3 111, C 3 111.
Additionally, the status of the
adaptive cruise control is indicated on
the Driver Assistance page in the
Driver Information Center 3 112.9 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 cancel
switch have priority over any
adaptive cruise control operation.
Switching on the system
Press v to switch on adaptive cruise
control. C appears in the Driver
Information Centre.
212Driving and operatingSide blind spot alertThe Side blind spot alert system
detects and reports objects on either
side of the vehicle, within a specified
"blind spot" zone. The system
displays a visual alert in each exterior
mirror, when detecting objects that
may not be visible in the interior and
exterior mirrors.9 Warning
Side blind spot alert does not
replace driver vision.
The system does not detect:
● vehicles outside the side blind zones which may be rapidly
approaching
● pedestrians, cyclists or animals
Before changing a lane, always
check all mirrors, look over the
shoulder and use the turn lights.When the vehicle is started, both
exterior mirror displays will briefly
illuminate to indicate that the system
is operating.
When the system detects a moving
vehicle in the side blind spot while
driving forwards, either while passing
a vehicle or being passed, a yellow
warning symbol F will illuminate in
the relevant exterior mirror. If the
driver then activates the turn lights,
the warning symbol F starts
flashing yellow as a warning not to
change lanes.
Side blind spot alert is active at any
speed.
Deactivation
Activation or deactivation of the Side
blind zone alert can be set in the
vehicle personalisation menu in the
Info Display.
Vehicle personalisation 3 124.
Info Display 3 118.
Deactivation is indicated by a message in the Driver Information
Centre.
System limitations Occasional missed alerts can occur
under normal circumstances or in
sharp curves. The system can
temporarily alert of objects in the blind spot at specific weather conditions
(rain, hail etc). Driving on a wet road
or in the transitions from a dry area to
a wet area can cause the control
indicator F to light up, as water
splash can be interpreted as an object. Otherwise the control indicator
F may illuminate due to guardrails,
signs, trees, shrubs or other immobile objects. This is normal operation and
the system does not need to be
serviced.
Driving and operating213The system may not operate properly
when:
● Ice, snow, mud, stickers, magnets, metal plates, or
anything else covers the sensors.
● Driving in heavy rainstorms. ● The vehicle had an accident or if the area surrounding the
detection sensor is damaged or
not properly repaired.
● There are extreme temperature changes.
● The vehicle is towing a trailer
In the event of a fault in the system or if the system does not work due to
temporary conditions, a message is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre. Seek the assistance of a
workshop.
Note
Each new vehicle requires a
calibration. For optimal
performance, drive as soon as
possible on a straight motorway
road with roadside objects, e.g.
guardrails and barriers for some
distance.Lane change alert
Additional to the side blind spot alert3 212, lane change alert recognises
rapidly approaching vehicles from
behind on parallel lanes next to your
vehicle.
The system alerts visually in each
exterior mirror when detecting rapidly
approaching vehicles from behind.
The radar distance sensors are
located in the rear bumper.9 Warning
Lane change alert does not
replace driver vision.
Before changing a lane, always
check all mirrors, look over the
shoulder and use the turn light.
When the system detects an
approaching vehicle from behind
which drives considerably faster, the
yellow warning symbol F will
illuminate in the relevant exterior mirror. If the driver then activates the
turn lights, the warning symbol F
starts flashing yellow as a warning not to change lanes.
Lane change alert is active at all
speeds.
When the vehicle is started, both
exterior mirror displays will briefly come on to indicate that the system is operating.
