Setting ACC

If you do not maintain the minimum distance to a vehicle in front and the difference in speed
between the vehicle in front and your own vehicle is so great that the braking action of the ACC is
insufficient, you are in danger of colliding with the vehicle in front. The braking distance is also
longer in rain and winter road conditions.
ACC may not be able to detect all driving situations correctly.
Always be prepared to brake the vehicle yourself.
Speed and distance control are overridden when you press the accelerator. ACC does not brake
automatically in this case.
Observe any country-specific regulations relating to the minimum distance.
Always set a larger distance in wet or snowy conditions or when visibility is poor.

When the Blind Spot Monitor is ready for operation, the yellow indicator lamp lights up once
briefly in the exterior mirrors.
This most recent system setting is retained even after the ignition has been switched off and on.

When switched on, the Blind Spot Monitor is active from a speed of approx. 15 km/h (9 mph).
In the following driving situations, the yellow indicator lamp will light up in the corresponding
exterior mirror: Fig. 124
If your vehicle is being overtaken.
When overtaking another vehicle with a speed difference of up to approximately 10 km/h (6 mph).
No display will be shown if the takeover manoeuvre is much faster.
If a vehicle is detected in the blind spot and the turn signal is additionally activated in the direction
of the detected vehicle
In vehicles with the lane keeping system, the yellow indicator lamp will flash even if you do not
activate the turn signal when leaving your lane, provided that the lane keeping system is switched on
(Blind Spot Monitor Plus). The driver is warned by a corrective steering intervention when changing
lanes during a possible critical situation (information level, warning level). This also occurs when the
turn signal is activated for the corresponding direction. If the steering intervention is overridden by
the driver, the steering wheel vibrates to give an additional warning.
The quicker another vehicle approaches, the earlier there is a corresponding display in the exterior
mirror.
Automatic deactivation
The radar sensors for the Blind Spot Monitor will switch off automatically if, for example, the system
detects that a radar sensor is continuously covered. This can be caused by a layer of ice or snow in
front of the radar sensor, for example.
A text message will be shown on the instrument cluster display.
If the Blind Spot Monitor has been automatically deactivated, the system cannot be activated until
the ignition has been switched off and back on again.
The Blind Spot Monitor is automatically deactivated and cannot be activated when the factory-fitted
towing bracket is electrically connected to a trailer or similar Trailer towing
electrically connected to the vehicle and the driver pulls away, a text message appears in the
instrument cluster display to inform the driver that the Blind Spot Monitor has been deactivated.
The Blind Spot Monitor will be automatically activated again when the trailer has been unhitched
from the vehicle. This applies if the function was previously activated. The Blind Spot Monitor must
be deactivated manually if you tow a trailer using a towing bracket that was not fitted at the factory.

Parking and manoeuvring
Parking
Stopping and parking the vehicle
The actions should be carried out only in the given order:
Stop the vehicle on a suitable surface
Depress and hold the brake pedal until the engine has stopped.
Switch on the electronic parking brake Electronic parking brake is
switched on when the indicator lamp in the button Fig. 125lights up yellow and the indicator
lamp in the instrument cluster display lights up red.
On vehicles with a manual gearbox, either fully depress or disengage the clutch.
With an automatic gearbox, move the selector lever to position P.
Switch off the engine and take your foot off the brake pedal.
Turn the steering wheel slightly if necessary to engage the steering lock mechanism.
With a manual gearbox, select first gear for flat ground and uphill gradients, or reverse gear for
downhill gradients, and then release the clutch.
Please ensure that all occupants, in particular children, leave the vehicle.

Lock the vehicle.
Additional points to note on uphill and downhill gradients
Before switching off the engine, turn the steering wheel so that the front wheels will roll against the
kerb if the parked vehicle starts to move.
When facing downhill, turn the wheels so that they face the kerb.
When facing uphill, turn the wheels so that they face the centre of the road.

WARNING
The components of the exhaust system become very hot. This can cause fires and serious injuries.
Never park the vehicle where parts of the exhaust system can come into contact with inflammable
material underneath the vehicle, e.g. undergrowth, leaves, dry grass, spilt fuel, oil etc.

WARNING
The vehicle may roll away if you leave and park the vehicle incorrectly. This can cause accidents and
serious injuries.
Ensure that the electronic parking brake is switched on before you leave the vehicle and the
indicator lamp in the instrument cluster lights up red after you switch off the ignition.
Never remove the vehicle key from the ignition if the vehicle is in motion. The steering lock may be
activated and you will no longer be able to steer or control the vehicle.
Never leave children or people requiring assistance alone in the vehicle. They could switch off the
electronic parking brake, or move the selector lever or gearshift lever, and thus set the vehicle in
motion.
Always take all vehicle keys with you every time you leave the vehicle. The engine can be started and
electrical equipment such as the window controls can be operated. This can cause serious injury.
Never leave children or people requiring assistance alone in the vehicle. They could become trapped
in the vehicle in an emergency and may not be able to get themselves to safety. For example, locked
vehicles may be subjected to very high or very low temperatures depending on the season. This can
cause serious injuries and illness or fatalities, especially in the case of small children.

NOTICE
Objects that protrude from the ground can damage the bumper and other components when
parking the vehicle or driving out of a parking space. Always take care when driving into parking
spaces with high kerbs or fixed boundaries. Stop before the wheels touch the fixed boundaries or
kerbs.
