DANG ER Risk of fata l injury due topoi‐
sonous exhaust gases
If th eta ilpipe is bloc ked or suf ficient ventila‐
tion is not possible, poisonous exhaust gases
such as carbon monoxide may enter theve hi‐ cle. This is
the case in enclosed spaces or if
th eve hicle gets stuck in sn ow,fo rex ample. #

ning. #
Open a window on the windward side of
th eve hicle toensure an adequate sup‐
ply of fresh air. &
WARNING Risk offire due tohot station‐
ary heater components
When thest ationary heater is swit ched on,
parts of theve hicle can become very hot,

or up tothe set winter tyre limit.
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. You are responsible
fo r maintaining a safe dis tance totheve hicle in
front, forve hicle speed, for braking in good time
and forst ay ing in lane.
Displa yson the multifunction display
The status of cruise control and thestored
speed are shown in the multifunction displa y. 1

3 Speed is sa ved, cruise control is activated
% The segments extending from the cur rent
st ored speed tothe end of the scale, or to
th e set winter tyre limit, light up in the
speedome ter.
Sy stem limitations
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 limits, e.g. in built-up
areas.
R Perm anen t:for long-term speed restrictions,
e.g. when driving in winter tyre mode. 228
Driving and pa rking

If
th e sy stem reaches a sy stem limitation or the
driver has not steered theve hicle for a consider‐
able period of time or has remo vedth eir hands
from thesteering wheel, the sy stem will,
depending on the situation, firs t alert the driver
with a visual warning. Display 1appears in the
multifunction displa y.Ifth e driver still does not
st eer theve hicle, or has still not take n hold of
th esteering wheel, a repeated warning tone
sounds in addition tothe visual warning mes‐
sage toremind the driver totake control of the
ve hicle.
The warning message does not appear or disap‐
pears if one of thefo llowing conditions are me t:
R The driver steers theve hicle. R
The driver presses a steering wheel button or
operates Touch Control.
Ac tive Steering Assist is only an aid. The driver is
re sponsible forth e dis tance totheve hicle in
front, forve hicle speed, for braking in good time
and forst ay ing in lane. Before changing lanes,
th e driver must make sure that the neighbouring
lane is free (glance over the shoulder).
Sy stem limitations of Active Steering Assist
Ac tive Steering Assist has a limited steering tor‐
qu efo r lateral guidance. In some cases, the
st eering inter vention is not su fficient tokeep the
ve hicle in the lane.
If th e de tection of lane markings and vehicles
ahead is impaired, Active Steering Assist
switches topassive mode. The sy stem pr ovides
no support in this case. During the transition
from the active topassive status, theè sym‐
bol is shown as enlar ged and flashes yello w.
Once the sy stem is passive, theè symbol is
shown as gr eyinthe multifunction displa y.The sy
stem may be impaired or may not function
in thefo llowing situations:
R Ifth ere is poor visibility, e.g. due toinsuf fi‐
cient illumination of thero ad, or due tosno w,
ra in, fog or heavy spr ay.
R Ifth ere is glare, e.g. from oncoming traf fic,
di re ct sunlight or reflections (e.g. if thero ad
sur face is wet).
R Ifth e windscreen is dirty, mis ted up, dam‐
aged or co vered, for ins tance byast icke r,in
th e vicinity of the camera.
R If no, or se veral, unclear lane markings are
present for one lane, e.g. in a construction
area.
R Ifth e lane markings are wornaw ay, dark or
co vered up, e.g. bydirt or sno w.
R Ifth e dis tance totheve hicle in front is too
small and the lane markings thus cannot be
de tected.
R Ifth e lane markings change quickl y,e.g.
lanes branch off, cross one ano ther or
