seat belt is not worn correctly, addi-
tional injuries can be caused, for
example in the event of an accident or
braking and evasive manoeuvres.
There is a danger of injury or even
death. Children smaller than 150 cm,

When the ambient conditions are
dry, Launch Control permits opti-
mised acceleration on a road sur-
face that offers plenty of grip.
Use of Launch Control causes pre-
mature component wear, as the
function subjects the vehicle to very
high stresses and loads.
Do not use Launch Control when
running in, see page 266.
When starting with Launch Control,
do not turn the steering wheel.
Launch Control is available when
the engine is at operating tempera-

If the vehicle leaves the lane and
the lane marking is detected, the
steering wheel vibrates in accord-
ance with the steering wheel vibra-
tion setting.
If the turn indicator is switched on
before changing lanes, no warning
is issued.
If a lane marking is crossed in the
speed range up to 210 km/h,
approx. 130 mph, the system may
intervene not only by vibrating but
also with a brief active steering
intervention. The steering interven-
tion helps to keep the vehicle in
lane. Steering intervention can be
felt at the steering wheel, and can
be overridden manually at any time.
With active steering intervention,
the display flashes in the instru-
ment cluster.If the system executes an active
steering intervention multiple times
within 3 minutes without the driver
touching the steering wheel, an
acoustic warning is emitted. A short
warning signal sounds on the sec-
ond steering intervention. A longer
warning signal sounds from the
third steering intervention onwards.
A vehicle message is also dis-
played.
The warning signal and vehicle
message tell the driver to pay more
attention to the lane.
The warning is interrupted in the
following situations:
Automatically after approxi-
mately 3 seconds.
On returning to the correct lane.
If the vehicle is braking heavily.
On indicating.

Safety notes
WARNING
The system does not relieve you of
your personal responsibility to assess
the traffic situation correctly. Due to
system limitations, it cannot respond
independently and appropriately in all
traffic conditions. There is a danger of
accidents. Adapt your driving style to
the traffic conditions. Observe the
traffic situation and intervene actively
if the situation warrants it.
WARNING
An unsecured vehicle can start mov-
ing and rolling away. There is a dan-
ger of accidents. Before leaving the
vehicle, secure it to prevent it from
rolling away.
Observe the following to ensure that
the vehicle is secured against rolling
away:
●Apply the parking brake.
●Turn the front wheels towards the
kerb on upward or downward gradi-
ents.
●Additionally secure the vehicle on
upward or downward gradients, for
example with a chock.
WARNING
The desired speed may be acciden-
tally set incorrectly or called up by
mistake. There is a danger of acci-
dents. Adjust the desired speed to the
traffic conditions. Observe the traffic
situation and intervene actively if the
situation warrants it.
WARNING
There is a danger of accidents if the
difference in speed relative to other
vehicles is excessively high. This may
occur, for example, in the following
situations:
●When quickly approaching a slowly
moving vehicle.
●If another vehicle suddenly veers
into the vehicle's own lane.
●When quickly approaching station-
ary vehicles.
There is a danger of injury or even
death. Observe the traffic situation
and intervene actively if the situation
warrants it.
