Driving and operating159● 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 25 mph. 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 18 mph.
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
are displayed in the Driver
Information Centre. The system is still not active.
162Driving and operatingvehicle speed increases or decreasesto follow the vehicle ahead, but will
not exceed the set speed. It may
apply limited braking with activated
brake lights.
If the vehicle ahead accelerates or
changes lane, the adaptive cruise
control progressively accelerates the
vehicle to return to the stored set
speed. If the driver operates a the turn
lights to overtake a slower vehicle, the adaptive cruise control allows the
vehicle to temporarily approach the
vehicle ahead to help passing it.
However, the set speed will never be
exceeded.
The adaptive cruise control can store
set speeds over 19 mph for manual
transmission. If the vehicle ahead is
moving too slowly and the selected
following distance cannot be
maintained anymore, a warning
chime is given and a message is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre. The message prompts the
driver to take back control of the
vehicle. On vehicles with automatic
transmission, the system can brake
the vehicle until a full stop.9 Warning
The complete driver attention is
always required while driving with adaptive cruise control. The driver stays fully in control of the vehicle
because the brake pedal, the
accelerator pedal and the button
Ñ have priority over any adaptive
cruise control operation.
Switching on the system
Press C, the symbol C is indicated in
the Driver Information Centre. The system is still not active.
Activation of the functionality
Setting speed by the driver
The adaptive cruise control has to be switched on manually at a speed
between 19 mph and 112 mph. For
vehicles with automatic transmission, the automatic selector lever must be
in position D or M.
Accelerate to the desired speed and
move the thumb wheel to SET/-. The
current speed is stored and
maintained.
164Driving and operatingAdaptive cruise control on
vehicles with automatic
transmission
For vehicles with automatic
transmission, adaptive cruise control allows to maintain the selected
distance behind a stopping vehicle until a complete stop is reached.
If the system has stopped your
vehicle behind another vehicle, then
the set speed is replaced by a green
control indicator .. This symbol
notifies, that the vehicle is hold
automatically in stop position.
If the stopped vehicle ahead was
stopped for a longer time and then
begins to move forward, the green
illuminated vehicle ahead control
indicator . will flash and a warning
chime will sound as a reminder to check traffic before resuming.
When the vehicle ahead drives away,
press the accelerator pedal until
19 mph and then move the thumb
wheel to SET- or RES+ to resume
adaptive cruise control. If the vehicle
stays stopped for more than
5 minutes or if the driver's door isopened and the driver's seat belt is
unfastened, then the electric parking
brake is applied automatically to hold the vehicle. Control indicator m will
illuminate. To release electric parking
brake, press the accelerator pedal.
Electric parking brake 3 150.9 Warning
When the system is deactivated or
cancelled, the vehicle will no
longer be held at a stop and can
start moving. Be always prepared
to manually apply the brake to hold the vehicle stationary.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is
being held at a stop by adaptive
cruise control. Always move
selector lever to park position P
and switch off the ignition before
leaving the vehicle.
Setting the following distance
When adaptive cruise control detects
a slower moving vehicle in the driving path, it will adjust the vehicle speed tomaintain the following distance
selected by the driver.
The following distance can be set to
close (1 bar), normal (2 bars) or far (3 bars).
If the engine is running and the
adaptive cruise control is enabled
(grey), you can modify the following
distance setting:
Press Ö, the current setting is shown
in the Driver Information Centre.
Press Ö again to change the following
distance: The new setting is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre.
The selected following distance is
indicated by full bars in the adaptive
cruise control page.9 Warning
The driver accepts full
responsibility for the appropriate
following distance based on traffic, weather and visibility conditions.
Following distance must be
adjusted or the system switched
off when required by the prevailing
conditions.
176Driving and operatingcloser to that obstacle. When the
distance is less than approx. 30 cm,
the sound is continuous.
Additionally, the distance to rear and
front obstacles is displayed by
changing distance lines in the Info Display 3 101.
If the vehicle stops for more than
3 seconds in a forward gear, if
automatic transmission is in P or if no
further obstacles are detected, no
acoustic warning signals are given.
Deactivation
The system is deactivated
automatically when vehicle speed
exceeds 6 mph, by applying the
electric parking brake or by pressing
the parking assist button ¼.
When the system is deactivated
manually, the LED in the button
illuminates.
If the system has been deactivated
manually, it is not reactivated
automatically the next time the
ignition is switched on.
System limitations In the event of a fault or if the system does not work temporarily, e.g.
because of high external noise level
or other interference factors, H
illuminates in the instrument cluster. A message is displayed in the Driver
Information Centre.9 Warning
Under certain circumstances,
various reflective surfaces on
objects or clothing as well as
external noise sources may cause the system to fail to detect
obstacles.
Special attention must be paid to
low obstacles which can damage
the lower part of the bumper.Caution
Performance of the system can be reduced 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.
