nction of ABS The Anti-lock Brake Sy
stem (ABS) regulates the
brake pressure in critical driving situations:
R During braking, e.g. at full brake application
or insuf ficient tyre traction, the wheels are
pr eve nted from lo cking.
R Vehicle steerability while braking is ensured. If ABS inter
venes when braking, you will feel a
pulsing in the brake pedal. The pulsating brake
pedal can be an indication of hazardous road
conditions and can ser veas a reminder totake
ex tra care while driving.

Driving and parking

If
yo ufa ilto adapt your driving style, cruise con‐
trol can neither reduce therisk of an accident
nor override the la wsof ph ysics. It cannot take
into account road, weather or traf fic conditions.
Cruise control is only an aid. The driver is
re sponsible for maintaining a safe dis tance to
th eve hicle in front, forve hicle speed, for braking
in good time and forst ay ing in lane.

The segments extending from the cur rent
st ored speed tothe end of the scale, or to

speedome ter.
Sy stem limits
Cruise control may be unable tomaintain the
st ored speed on uphill gradients. The stored
speed is resumed when the gradient evens out.
Change into a lo werge ar in good time on long
and steep downhill gradients. Take particular
no te ofthis when driving a laden vehicle. By
doing so, you will make use of the engine's brak‐
ing ef fect. This relie vesth e load on the brake
sy stem and pr events the brakes from overheat‐
ing and wearing tooqu ickl y.
Do not use cruise control in thefo llowing situa‐
tions:
R In traf fic situations whi chrequ ire frequent
ch anges of speed, e.g. in heavy traf fic, on
winding roads.
R On slippe ryroads. Accelerating can cause
th e drive wheels tolose traction and the
ve hicle could then skid.
R Ifyo u are driving when visibility is poor. Fu
nction of the limiter
The limiter restricts the speed of theve hicle. To
re duce the speed tothe set speed, the limiter
applies the brakes automaticall y.
Yo u can limit the speed as follo ws:
R Variable: for speed restrictions, e.g. in built-
up areas.
R Perm anen t:for long-term speed restrictions,
e.g. when driving in winter tyre mode.
The variable limiter is operated using the cor re‐
sponding steering wheel buttons. You can store
any speed abo ve20 km/h up tothe maximum
speed or up tothe set winter tyre limit. You can
also per form settings while theve hicle is station‐
ary if theve hicle has been star ted.
If yo ufa ilto adapt your driving style, the limiter
can neither reduce therisk of an accident nor
ov erride the la wsof ph ysics. It cannot take into
account road, weather or traf fic conditions. The
limiter is only an aid. The driver is responsible

an accident when DSR is acti vated on
slippery road sur faces
If th e speed driven and theta rget speed dif‐

sur face, the wheels may lose traction. #
Take into account thero ad sur face and
th e dif fere nce between the driving
speed and target speed before activat‐
ing DSR. If
yo ufa ilto adapt your driving style, DSR can
neither reduce therisk of an accident nor over‐
ri de the la wsof ph ysics. It cannot take into
account road, weather or traf fic conditions. DSR
is only an aid. You are responsible for maintain‐
ing a safe dis tance totheve hicle in front, for

st ay ing in lane.
Yo u are alw aysre sponsible forke eping control of
th eve hicle and for assessing whe ther the down‐

ro ad sur face and tyres, DSR may not al ways be able
tokeep totheta rget speed. Select a target
speed suitable forth e environmen tal conditions
and also apply the brakes yourself if requ ired.
