84Lightingtriggered depending on the steering
angle or the activation of the turn
lights.
Curve light
Particular LEDs, based on steering
angle and speed, are additionally
triggered to improve lighting in
curves. This function is activated at
speeds from 40 km/h to 70 km/h.
Glare-free high beam
9 Warning
The glare-free high beam function
may dazzle other road users when the vehicle is driven in countrieswhere traffic moves on the
opposite side of the road. E.g.
when the vehicle was designed for
left hand drive traffic and it is
driven in a country with right hand
drive traffic.
Switch off glare-free high beam
function whenever you are driving in countries mentioned above!
The system enables a glare-free high beam when driving in dark
surroundings.
Each LED on right or left side is
triggered or faded out particularly according to the traffic situation. This
gives the best light distribution
without dazzling other road users.
Glare-free high beam is switched on
automatically at a speed above
50 km/h. It is switched off at a speed
below 35 km/h, but the system
remains active.
Motorway mode
Activated automatically at a speed
above 105 km/h. Illumination is
adapted to the higher speed driven on
motorways. If there is no oncoming
traffic, the visibility on the side of the
vehicle is increased. When following
vehicles ahead or passing, dazzling
for these vehicles is reduced.
Fault in LED headlight system
When the system detects a failure in
the LED headlight system, it selects a preset position to avoid dazzling of
oncoming traffic. A warning is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre.
Lighting85Hazard warning flashers
Operated by pressing c.
When braking in an emergency, the
hazard warning flashers are switched
on automatically, depending on the
force of deceleration. They are
switched off automatically the first
time you accelerate.
Turn lightsup:right turn lightsdown:left turn lights
A resistance point can be felt when
moving the indicator lever.
Constant flashing is activated when
the indicator lever is being moved
beyond the resistance point. It is
deactivated when the steering wheel
is moved in the opposite direction or
indicator lever is manually moved
back to its neutral position.
Activate temporary flashing by
holding the indicator lever just before
the resistance point. Turn lights will
flash until indicator lever is being
released.
To activate three flashes, tap the
indicator lever briefly without passing
the resistance point.
If you forget to cancel the turn lights
for more than 20 seconds, the volume
of the audible signal will increase if
the speed is above 80 km/h.
Front fog lights
Operated by pressing >.
Driving and operating125
It uses radar and camera sensors to
detect the vehicles ahead. If no
vehicle is detected in the driving path, the adaptive cruise control will
behave like a conventional cruise
control.
The adaptive cruise control
automatically decelerates the vehicle
when approaching a slower moving
vehicle. It then adjusts the vehicle
speed to follow the vehicle ahead at
the selected following distance. The
vehicle speed increases or decreases
to 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 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 30 km/h 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 w.
w is indicated in the Driver
Information Centre. The system is still not active.
132Driving and operatingAs a safety measure, do not use the
system if the brake lights are faulty.
Do not use the system if the front
bumper is damaged.
Active emergency braking
Active emergency braking can help to reduce the damage and injury from
crashes with vehicles and
pedestrians directly ahead, when the
driver does not actively take action
either by manual braking or by
steering. Before the active
emergency braking applies, the driver
is warned by the forward collision
alert.
Forward collision alert 3 135
Front pedestrian protection 3 137
Active emergency braking can be
deactivated in the vehicle
personalisation 3 77. If deactivated,
m illuminates in the instrument
cluster and a warning message is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre. When ignition is switched on next time, system is activated.The feature uses various inputs (e.g.
camera sensor, radar sensor, brake
pressure, vehicle speed) to calculate
the probability of a frontal collision.9 Warning
This system is not intended to
replace the driver responsibility for driving the vehicle and looking
ahead. Its function is limited to
supplemental use only to reduce
the vehicle speed before a
collision.
The system may not react to
animals. After a sudden lane
change, the system needs a
certain time to detect the next
preceding vehicle.
The driver must always be ready
to take action and apply the brakes and steer to avoid collisions.
9 Warning
The usage of a license plate
support may have an impact on
the proper operation of the radar
unit and may limit sensor
perfomance. Vehicles or
pedestrians driving or walking
ahead may not be detected by the
system.
Do not use a a license plate
support to ensure proper system
functionality.
Functionality
Depending on the vehicle
configuration and the detected
objects, there are several operational speed ranges.
On vehicles equipped only with front
camera, the active emergency
braking operates from 5 km/h to 80 km/h when a vehicle has been
detected.
On vehicles equipped with radar
sensor and front camera, the active
emergency braking operates from
5 km/h to 140 km/h when a vehicle
has been detected.
Active emergency braking only works when the seat belts of the front
passengers are fastened.
134Driving and operating9Warning
Smart brake assist may increase
vehicle braking in situations when
it may not be necessary. You
could block the flow of traffic. If this occurs, take your foot off the brakepedal and then apply the brakes
as needed.
Forward collision alert 3 135.
Front pedestrian protection 3 137.
System limitations In some cases, the active emergencybraking system may provide an
automatic braking in situations that
seem to be unnecessary, for instance
in parking garages, due to various
types of objects, i.e., traffic signs or
vehicles in another lane. This is
normal operation, the vehicle does
not need service. Firmly apply the
accelerator pedal to override the
automatic braking if the situation and
the surroundings permit.
In the following cases, active
emergency braking performance
might be limited:
● driving on winding or hilly roads
● detecting vehicles with a trailer, tractors, muddy vehicles, etc.
● detecting a vehicle when weather
limits visibility, such as in fog,
rain, or snow
● driving during nighttime
● the sensor in the windscreen or the radar unit behind the front
bumper are blocked by snow, ice,
slush, mud, dirt etc.
● the windscreen is damaged or affected by foreign objects, e.g.
stickers
the bumper is damaged or
affected by foreign objects, e.g.
license plate support
Complete attention is always required
while driving, and you should be
ready to take action and apply the
brakes and / or steer the vehicle to
avoid crashes.We recommend to deactivate the
system in the vehicle personalisation
in the following cases:
● when towing a trailer or caravan
● when carrying long objects on roof bars or a roof rack
● when the vehicle is being towed with the engine running
● when the vehicle is fitted with snow chains
● when a spare wheel is fitted that is smaller than the other wheels
● before using an automatic car wash with the engine running
● before placing the vehicle on a rolling road in a workshop
● if the windscreen has been damaged close to the camera
● if the front bumper has been damaged
● if the brake lights are not working
Fault
In case the system requires a service,
a message is displayed in the Driver
Information Centre.
146Driving and operatingSide blind spot alertSide blind zone alert assist helps to
avoid crashes due to unintentional
lane departures when an object is
detected within a specified blind spot zone.
The system displays a visual alert in
each exterior mirror, when detecting
objects that may not be visible in the
interior and exterior mirrors.
Side blind spot alert uses some of the
advanced parking assist sensors
which are located in the front and rear bumper on both sides of the vehicle.9 Warning
Side blind zone assistant system
is only a lane changing aid and does not replace driver vision.
Side blind zone assistant does not detect:
● Vehicles outside the side blind zones which may be rapidly
approaching.
● Pedestrians or animals.
● Non-moving objects, e.g. stationary vehicles, street
lights, road signs, etc.
Failure to use proper care when changing lanes may result in
damage to the vehicle, injury, or
death. Always check the outside
and rearview mirrors, glance over
your shoulder, and use the turn
signal before changing lanes.
Activation
The system can be activated via the
vehicle settings menu in the Info
Display.
Info Display 3 75.
Functionality
When the system detects a vehicle in
the side blind zone while driving
forwards, an LED will illuminate in the
relevant exterior mirror.
The LED comes on immediately when your vehicle is being passed.
The LED comes on after a delay when
your vehicle is passing another
vehicle slowly.
