Exceeding the set speed
Vehicle speed can be increased by
depressing the accelerator pedal. When the accelerator pedal is
released, the previously stored speed is resumed.
Deactivation of the functionality Press Ñ: cruise control is in pause
mode and a message is displayed.
The vehicle is driven without cruise

Fault
In the event of a cruise control fault,
the speed is cleared resulting in
flashing of the dashes.
The speed limit recognition may not
operate correctly if traffic signs do not
comply with the Vienna Convention
on Road Signs and Signals.
Speed limiter
The speed limiter prevents the
vehicle from exceeding a preset
maximum speed.
The maximum speed can be set at
speeds above 30 km/h.
The driver can accelerate the vehicle
up to the preset speed. Deviations
from the limited speed may occur
when driving downhill.
The preset speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the
accelerator pedal firmly.
Driving and operating155
Press Ñ to activate speed limiter.
Adopting speed by the speed limit recognition
The intelligent speed adaptation
informs the driver when a speed limit
is detected by the speed limit
recognition. The detected speed limit
can be used as new value for the
speed limiter.
Using the camera at the top of the
windscreen, this system detects and
reads speed limit and end of speed
limit signs.
If the speed limiter is active, the
recognised speed limit will be
displayed in the Driver Information Centre and MEM illuminates.
Press MEM on the steering wheel to
request saving of the suggested
speed limit.
Press MEM on the steering wheel

Exceeding the speed limit
In the event of an emergency, it is
possible to exceed the speed limit by
depressing the accelerator pedal
firmly. In this case the preset speed
value flashes.
Release the accelerator pedal and
the speed limiter function is
reactivated once a speed lower than
the limit speed is obtained.Deactivation of the functionality
Press Ñ, speed limiter is in pause
mode and a message is displayed.

Driving and operating157approaching a vehicle ahead too
rapidly, it may not provide you
enough time to avoid a collision.
The driver accepts full
responsibility for the appropriate
following distance based on traffic,
weather and visibility conditions.
The complete attention of the
driver is always required while
driving. The driver must always be ready to take action and apply the
brakes.Caution
The colour lighting of this control
indicator does not correspond to
local traffic laws on following
distance. The driver bears full
responsibility for maintaining safe
following distance according to
applicable traffic rules, weather
and road conditions etc. at all
times.
Selecting the alert sensitivity
The alert sensitivity has to be set to
close, normal or distant in the vehicle personalisation menu 3 102.
The chosen setting will remain until it
is changed. The alert timing will vary
based on vehicle speed. The faster
the vehicle speed, the farther away
the alert will occur. Consider traffic
and weather conditions when
selecting the alert timing.
Deactivation The system can only be deactivated
by deactivating the active emergency
braking in the vehicle personalisation
3 102.
System limitations
Forward collision alert is designed to
warn on vehicles only, but may react
also to other objects.In the following cases, forward
collision alert may not detect a vehicle ahead or sensor performance is
limited:
● driving on winding or hilly roads
● driving during nighttime
● weather limits visibility, such as fog, rain, or snow
● the sensor in the windscreen is blocked by snow, ice, slush, mud,dirt etc.
● the windscreen is damaged or affected by foreign objects, e.g.
stickers
Active emergency braking
Active emergency braking can help to reduce the damage and injury from
crashes with vehicles, pedestrians
and obstacles directly ahead, when a
collision can no longer be avoided
either by manual braking or by
steering. Before the active
emergency braking applies, the driver is warned by the forward collision
alert 3 156 or the front pedestrian
protection alert 3 160.
164Driving and operatingCaution
Performance of the system can bereduced when sensors are
covered, e.g. by ice or snow.
Performance of the parking assist
system can be reduced due to
heavy loading.
Special conditions apply if there
are taller vehicles in the vicinity
(e.g. off-road vehicles, mini vans,
vans). Object identification and correct distance indication in the
upper part of these vehicles
cannot be guaranteed.
Objects with a very small reflection
cross-section, e.g. objects of
narrow size or soft materials, may
not be detected by the system.
Parking assist systems do not
detect objects outside the
detection range.
Note
Make sure that the front number
plate is properly mounted (not bent
and no gaps to the bumper on the left or right side) and the sensors are
firmly in place.
Advanced parking assist9 Warning
The driver bears full responsibility
for accepting the parking slot
suggested by the system and the
parking manoeuvre.
Always check the surrounding
area in all directions when using
the advanced parking assist.
The advanced parking assist
measures a suitable parking slot
while passing, calculates the
trajectory and automatically steers
the vehicle while parking.
Advanced parking assist provides
assistance for the following
manoeuvres:
● Entry into a parallel parking slot.
● Entry into a perpendicular parking slot.
● Exit from a parallel parking slot.
The driver must control acceleration,
braking and gear shifting, while
steering is done automatically. The
driver can take control at any time by
gripping the steering wheel.
It may be necessary to move forwards and backwards more than once.
Instructions are given in the Info
Display 3 97.
Advanced parking assist can only be activated when driving forwards.
Driving and operating165
Advanced parking assist is always
combined with front-rear parking assist.
The system has six ultrasonic parking
sensors each in both the rear and
front bumper.
