160Driving and operating● The Traction Control system orElectronic Stability Control is
operating.
● The selector lever is in N
(automatic transmission), first or
second gear (manual
transmission).
Resume stored speed
Move thumb wheel to RES/+ at a
speed above 40 km/h. The stored
speed will be obtained.
Switching off the system
Press m, the cruise control mode is
deselected and the cruise control
indication extinguishes in the Driver
Information Centre.
Pressing ß to activate the speed
limiter deactivates cruise control.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed value.
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.
The status and preset speed limit are
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre.Switching on the system
Press ß, symbol ß and a message

166Driving and operatingDetecting the vehicle ahead
If the system detects a vehicle in the
driving path, the adaptive cruise
control symbol displayed in the Driver
Information Centre changes: - is
changed to w.
Deactivation of the functionality
Press Ñ, the adaptive cruise control
is in pause mode and a message is
displayed. The vehicle is driven
without adaptive cruise control.
The adaptive cruise control is
deactivated, but not disabled. The
last stored set speed remains in
memory for later usage.
The adaptive cruise control is
deactivated automatically when:
● The brake pedal is depressed.
● The vehicle accelerates above 180 km/h or slows down below
30 km/h.
● The electric parking brake is applied.
● The Traction Control system or Electronic Stability Control is
deactivated or operating.
● The selector lever of automatic transmissions is neither in D nor
in M.
● A fault is detected in the Electronic Stability Control or the
radar system.
Switching off the system
Press C, the adaptive cruise control
mode is disabled and the adaptive
cruise control indication extinguishes
in the Driver Information Centre.
Pressing ß to activate the speed
limiter deactivates adaptive cruise
control.Switching off the ignition deletes the
stored set speed.
Driver's attention ● Use the adaptive cruise control carefully on bends or mountain
roads, as it can lose the vehicle
ahead and needs time to detect it again.
● Do not use the system on slippery roads as it can create
rapid changes in tyre traction
(wheel spinning), so that you
could lose control of the vehicle.
● Do not use the adaptive cruise control during rain, snow or
heavy dirt, as the radar sensor
can be covered by a water film,
dust, ice or snow. This reduces or
suppresses completely the
visibility. In case of sensor
blockage, clean the sensor
cover.
● Do not use the system when the spare wheel is in use.
