During predictive control), the adaptive cruise 
assist uses  data from the efficiency assist. The 
system adapts the speed set in the adaptive 
cruise assist to the speed limits that are detected 
and the layout of the  road. After that,  the system 
accelerates up to the speed that was set. 
After switching on the ignition, the availability of 
predictive control is indicated by a message when 
the adaptive cruise assist is first activated. 
The displays depend on the vehicle equipment. 
Requirements 
— The adaptive cruise assist must be actively reg- 
ulating > page 141. 
— The system can only react to speed limits that 
are 20 mph (30 km/h) or higher. 
Display in the speedometer 
The  display in the speedometer is not available in 
all layouts*. 
@ The marking shows the set speed (regulated 
speed that was set by the driver or by predic- 
tive control). 
@ The red band shows the difference between 
the speed limit and the set speed that is set. 
@® The gray band shows if the vehicle speed is 
planned to drop below the set speed due to 
the road layout. 
Overriding control 
The driver can override the predictive control at 
any time by pressing the accelerator or brake 
pedal. If the system changes the vehicle speed to 
adapt to speed limits, you can change the speed 
using the lever > page 141, fig. 111.

lane guidance is not active. This may be due to 
the following reasons: 
— The necessary lane marker lines have not been 
detected (for example, in a construction zone 
or because the lines are obstructed by snow, 
dirt, water, or lighting) 
— The lane is too narrow or too wide 
— The curve is too narrow 
— Visibility is obstructed by a rise or dip. 
— The driver's hands are not on the steering 
wheel 
  
ZA WARNING 
Follow the safety precautions and note the 
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and 
cameras > page 123. 
      
@ Tips 
— Always keep  your hands on the steering 
wheel. The driver is always responsible for 
adhering to the regulations applicable in 
the country where the vehicle is being oper- 
ated. 
— It is recommended to only switch on lane 
guidance on well-constructed roads. 
— Specific settings are stored automatically in 
the active personal profile.

Fig. 113 Operating lever: setting the distance 
If you adjust the speed, you must also change the 
time gap to the vehicle driving ahead. The higher 
the speed, the greater the distance that is need- 
ed. 
> Tap the rocker switch to display the distance 
that is currently set. 
> To increase or decrease the distance in incre- 
ments, tap  the switch again toward (4) or @). 
The newly set distance is shown briefly, for exam- 
ple with the indicator light. In the Driver as- 
sistance display, a graphic display is shown in- 
stead of the indicator lights > page 140, 
fig. 109. The display matches the functions of 
the indicator lights. 
  
When approaching a vehicle driving ahead, the 
adaptive cruise assist brakes to the set speed and 
then maintains the set distance. If the vehicle 
driving ahead accelerates, then the adaptive 
cruise assist will also accelerate up to the speed 
that you have set. 
The following distances can be set: 
  
Meaning 
    
The time between is approximately 1 
second. This setting corresponds to a 
distance of approximately 92 feet (28 
m) when traveling at 62 mph (100 
km/h). 
The time between is approximately 1.3 
seconds. This setting corresponds toa 
distance of approximately 118 feet (36 
m) when traveling at 62 mph (100 
km/h). 
The time between is approximately 1.8 
seconds. This setting meets the general 
recommendation of “half the speed 
shown on the speedometer”. This cor- 
responds to a distance of approximate- 
ly 164 feet (SO m) when traveling at 
62 mph (100 km/h).

If the sensors detect an obstacle, audible and vis- 
ual signals will warn you. 
Audio signals 
The closer your vehicle gets to a detected obsta- 
cle, the shorter the time between the audible sig- 
nals. A continuous tone sounds when an obstacle 
is less than approximately 1 foot (0.30 m) away 
from the front or rear of the vehicle. A continu- 
ous tone sounds when an obstacle is less than 
approximately 0.7 feet (0.20 m) away from the 
sides* of the vehicle. Do not continue driving for- 
ward or in reverse 9>Q. 
The audio warnings can be switched off until the 
next time the parking aid is switched on by press- 
ing “lon the upper display. The volume can be 
changed in the settings L-] > page 167. 
  
      
Visual warnings 
The visual warnings in the upper display help  you 
to detect the critical vehicle area and to estimate 
the distance to an obstacle. 
Red segments (@) show detected obstacles that 
are in your vehicle's path. The red lines 2) mark 
the expected direction of travel based on the 
steering angle. A white segment (8) indicates a 
detected obstacle that is outside of the vehicle's 
path. As your vehicle comes closer to the obsta- 
cle, the segments move closer to the vehicle. The 
collision area has been reached when the next to 
last segment is displayed. Obstacles in the colli- 
sion area, including those outside of the vehicle's 
path, are shown in red. Do not continue driving 
farther.

G) Tips 
—The side area * > page 124, fig. 96 is de- 
tected and evaluated when passing. There 
may have been changes to the surrounding 
area after switching the ignition off and on 
again, after opening the doors, or if the ve- 
hicle is left stationary for a period of time. 
In this case, the area will appear black until 
the area has been detected and evaluated. 
— If the distance to an obstacle remains con- 
stant, the volume of the distance warning 
gradually lowers after a few seconds until it 
is muted (this does not apply to the continu- 
ous tone). If the obstacle comes closer than 
it was before the sound was muted, the 
tone will sound again. If the obstacle be- 
comes farther away than it was before the 
sound was muted, no tone will sound. Pay 
attention to the vehicle's surroundings 
when you start to drive. 
— There is no distance warning for the rear 
and the sides* when trailer towing mode is 
detected. The front sensors remain activat- 
ed. The visual display switches to trailer 
mode. There is no guarantee the functions 
will switch off when using a retrofitted trail- 
er hitch.
