In stop-and-go traffic, the vehicle may brake to a
full stop and then may also start driving again
automatically under certain conditions.


Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 105.


For an explanation on conformity with the
FCC regulations in the United States and the
Industry Canada regulations, see > page 259.
Applies to: vehicles with adaptive cruise assist

Fig. 91 Example: vehicle changing lanes and stationary ve-
hicle


Fig. 92 Example: driving into a curve
In some situations, the adaptive cruise assist
function is limited and you must assume control
of the vehicle when necessary, for example by ap-
plying the brakes.
— If a vehicle that was already detected (@ turns
or changes lanes, the adaptive cruise assist will
react to the vehicle ahead of it @).

— When driving into a curve > fig. 92 and out of a
curve, the adaptive cruise assist may react to a
vehicle in the adjacent lane and apply the
brakes. You can override the system by pressing
the accelerator pedal briefly.
— The adaptive cruise assist works with the vari-
ous sensors and cameras in the vehicle.
Vehicles can only be detected once they are
within the area and range covered by the sen-
sors > page 106.
— When driving around tight curves, a vehicle
driving ahead that was previously detected may
no longer be detected, and the adaptive cruise
assist may accelerate unexpectedly.
— The adaptive cruise assist does not react toa
stationary vehicle in the same lane if the sys-
tem expects that you can easily drive around
the stationary vehicle by turning the steering
wheel.
— The adaptive cruise assist may not react to sta-
tionary obstacles, such as the end of a traffic
jam, especially at high speeds.
— The adaptive cruise assist has a limited ability
to detect vehicles that are a short distance
ahead, off to the side of your vehicle, or moving
into your lane.
— Objects that are difficult to detect, such as mo-
torcycles, vehicles with high ground clearance,
or vehicles with an overhanging load, may be
detected late or not detected at all.
— The adaptive cruise assist does not respond to
people, animals, or objects that are crossing or
approaching from the opposite direction.

Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 105.

Driver assistance


responsible for controlling the vehicle. The
driver is especially responsible for braking,
starting to drive, controlling the speed, and
maintaining the distance to other vehicles.
— Turn on the adaptive cruise assist only if the
surrounding conditions permit it. Always
adapt your driving style to the current visu-
al, weather, road, and traffic conditions.
— Switch the adaptive cruise assist off tempo-
rarily when driving in turning lanes or high-
way exits. This prevents the vehicle from ac-
celerating to the stored speed when in these
situations.

ZA WARNING
If you press the SETK2) button when driving
at speeds below 20 mph (30 km/h), then 20
mph (30 km/h) will be set because that is the
minimum speed that can be set. If no vehicle
is detected ahead of you, the vehicle will ac-
celerate up to that speed.


@ Tips
— Always keep your hands on the steering
wheel. The driver is always responsible for
adhering to the regulations applicable in
the country where the vehicle is being oper-
ated.
— If you switch the ignition or the adaptive
cruise assist off, the stored speed is erased
for safety reasons.
— When the adaptive cruise assist is switched
on, the ESC and the ASR are switched on au-
tomatically.
— The system cannot be switched off if the
road exceeds the maximum possible grade
for safe operation.
— If you signal to pass and the adaptive cruise
assist suggests a passing maneuver, the
adaptive cruise assist will accelerate just be-
fore changing lanes to shorten the distance
to the vehicle driving ahead.

Setting the distance
Applies to: vehicles with adaptive cruise assist

B4M-0234


Fig. 97 Operating lever: setting the distance
If you adjust the speed, you must also change the
time gap to the vehicle driving ahead. The higher
the speed, the greater the distance that is need-
ed.
> Tap the rocker switch to display the distance
that is currently set.
> To increase or decrease the distance in incre-
ments, tap the switch again toward G) or ().
The newly-set distance will be shown briefly, for
example with the indicator light. In the Driv-
er assistance display, a graphic display is shown
instead of the indicator lights > page 114,
fig. 94. The display matches the functions of the
indicator lights.
When approaching a vehicle driving ahead, the
adaptive cruise assist brakes to the set speed and
then maintains the set distance. If the vehicle
driving ahead accelerates, then the adaptive
cruise assist will also accelerate up to the speed
that you have set.
The following distances can be set:

Lane departure warning
General information
Applies to: vehicles with lane departure warning
The lane departure warning can detect lane
marker lines within the limits of the system. If
you are approaching a detected lane marker and
it appears likely that you will leave the lane, the
system can warn you with corrective steering and
a steering wheel vibration, if necessary.
The system functions in the speed range of ap-
proximately 40 mph - 155 mph (65 km/h -
250 km/h).
Applies to: vehicles with lane departure warning
and without side assist: Even if the system is
ready, it will not warn you if you activate a turn
signal before crossing the lane marker line. In
this case, it assumes that you are changing lanes
intentionally.
Applies to: vehicles with lane departure warning
in combination with side assist: If the turn signal
is activated, the lane departure warning is ready,
and a lane change has been classified as critical
by the lane departure warning due to vehicles
traveling beside you or due to approaching
vehicles, then a noticeable corrective steering
movement will occur briefly before exiting the
lane. This will attempt to keep your vehicle in the
lane.

Z\ WARNING
Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 105.
