Fu
nction of cruise control
Cruise cont rol accelerates and brakes theve hicle
automatically in order tomaintain a pr eviously
st ored speed.
If yo u accelerate toove rtake, forex ample, the
st ored speed is not dele ted. If youre mo veyour
fo ot from the accelerator pedal af terove rtaking,
cruise control will resume speed regulation back
to thestored speed.
Cruise contro l is operated using the cor respond‐
ing steering wheel buttons. You can store any
ro ad speed abo ve15 mp h (20 km/h).
If yo ufa ilto adapt your driving style, cruise con‐
trol can neither reduce therisk of an accident nor
ove rride the la wsof ph ysics. It cannot take into
account road, weather or traf fic conditions.
Cruise control is only an aid. You are responsible
fo rth e dis tance totheve hicle in front, forve hicle
speed, braking in good time and forst ay ing in
yo ur lane.

Sy stem limitations
Cruise control may be unable tomaintain the
st ored speed on uphill gradients. The stored
speed is resumed when the gradient evens out.
On long and steep downhill gradients, you should
ch ange down toa lo werge ar in good time. Take
particular no teofthis when driving a laden vehi‐
cle. By doing so, you will make use of the
engine's braking ef fect. This relie vesth e load on
th e brake sy stem and pr events the brakes from
ove rheating and wearing tooqu ickl y.
Do not use cruise control in thefo llowing situa‐
tions:
R In traf fic situations whe refrequent speed
ch anges are requ ired, e.g. in heavy traf fic or
on winding roads.
R On slippe ryroads. Accele rating can cause the
drive wheels tolose traction and theve hicle
could then skid.
R Ifyo u are driving when visibility is poor.

rear view camera 1appears in
th e multimedia sy stem when thefo llowing condi‐
tions are fulfilled:
R The ignition is switched on.
R Reversege ar has not been engaged.
R The rear-end doors are opened.
This means that the area behind theve hicle can
be monitored.
When there ar-end doors are closed, the image
from there ar view camera is swit ched off af ter
appr oximately ten seconds.
The rear view camera is only an aid. It is not a
substitute foryo ur attention tothe sur roundings.
The responsibility for safe maneu vering and pa rk‐

persons, animals or objects etc., in the maneu‐
ve ring area while maneuvering and pa rking.
The rear view camera may show a dis torted view
of obs tacles, show them incor rectly or not at all.
The rear view camera cannot display all objects
which are very near toor under there ar bumper.
It will not warnyou of a collision, people or

The rear view camera will not function or will only
partially function in thefo llowing situations:
R There is heavy rain, snow or fog.
R The ambient light is poor, e.g. at night.
R The area is lit byfluorescent light (the displ ay

- that the trailer tow hit chand ball coupling
are secure
- that the saf ety swit chfor braked trailers is
functioning cor rectly
- that the saf etych ains are secure and

R Adjust the outside mir rors so that you ha ve a
clear view of there ar section of the trailer.
R Ifth e trailer is equipped with an individual
braking sy stem, check before each journey
whe ther the brakes are functioning cor rectl y.
R Ifth e trailer has electronically cont rolled
brakes, pull away carefully wi th theve hicle/
trailer combination. Brake manually using the
brake controller and check whe ther the
brakes are functioning cor rectl y.
R Secu rethe load on the trailer in line with the
re qu irements and rules for load-securing
me thods.
R When driving with a trailer, check at regular
inter vals that the load is secure and that the
lights and brakes are functioning cor rectl y.
R Bear in mind that the handling characteristics
are more uns table when towing a trailer than
when driving without a trailer. Avoid sudden
st eering mo vements.
R The vehicle/trailer combination is heavier,
accelerates more slowl y,has a reduced
climbing ability and an increased braking dis‐
ta nce. It is more susceptible toside winds
and requ ires careful steering.
R If possible, do not brake suddenl y,but rath er
moderately at firs t so that the trailer can acti‐
va te its brakes. Then inc rease the pressure on
th e brake pedal.
R Ifth e automatic transmission shifts between
ge ars on uphill or downhill gradients, restrict
th e shift range. Select shi ftrange 4, 3, 2 or 1.
A lo werge ar and reduced speed decrease the
ri sk of engine damage.
R When driving on a downhill gradient, shift to a
lo we rge ar to use the engine's braking ef fect. Av
oid cons tant braking, as this could cause
th eve hicle brakes and possibly also the
trailer brakes toove rheat.
R Ifth e coolant temp erature increases signifi‐

switched on, switch the air-conditioning sys‐
te m off.
Coolant heat can also be dissipated by
switching the air flow and thete mp erature of
th e heater or air conditioning tothe maximum

R When overtak ing, pay particular attention to
