118Driving and operatingFunctionality check
When the vehicle is not moving, the
electric parking brake might be
applied automatically. This is done to
check the system.
Fault
Failure mode of electric parking brake
is indicated by a control indicator
k and by a vehicle message which
is displayed in the Driver Information
Centre.
Vehicle messages 3 76.
Control indicator j flashes: electric
parking brake is not fully applied or released. When continuously
flashing, release electric parking
brake and retry applying.
Brake assist If brake pedal is depressed quickly
and forcefully, maximum brake force
is automatically applied.
Operation of brake assist might
become apparent by a pulse in the
brake pedal and a greater resistance when depressing the brake pedal.Maintain steady pressure on the
brake pedal as long as full braking is
required. Maximum brake force is
automatically reduced when brake
pedal is released.
Hill start assist The system helps prevent unintendedmovement when driving away on
inclines.
When releasing the brake pedal after
stopping on an incline, brakes remain
on for further 2 seconds. The brakes
release automatically as soon as the
vehicle begins to accelerate.Ride control systems
Electronic Stability Control
and Traction Control system
Electronic stability control improves
driving stability when necessary,
regardless of the type of road surface
or tyre grip.
As soon as the vehicle starts to
swerve (understeer / oversteer),
engine output is reduced and the
wheels are braked individually.
Electronic stability control operates in combination with the traction control
system. It prevents the driven wheels
from spinning.
The traction control system is a
component of the electronic stability
control.
The traction control system improves
driving stability when necessary, regardless of the type of road surface
or tyre grip, by preventing the driven
wheels from spinning.
As soon as the driven wheels starts to spin, engine output is reduced and
the wheel spinning the most is braked

Driving and operating119individually. This considerably
improves the driving stability of the
vehicle on slippery road surfaces.
Electronic stability control and the
traction control system are
operational after each engine start as
soon as the control indicator J
extinguishes.
When electronic stability control and
the traction control system operate,
J flashes.
9 Warning
Do not let this special safety
feature tempt you into taking risks
when driving.
Adapt speed to the road
conditions.
Control indicator b 3 70.
Deactivation
Electronic stability control and the
traction control system can be
deactivated in the Info Display.
Info Display 3 75.
K illuminates and a message is
displayed in the Driver Information Centre.
Electronic stability control and the
traction control system are
reactivated everytime the ignition has been switched on again or in the case
that the vehicle is driven faster than
50 km/h. It can also be reactivated via the Info Display.
K extinguishes when the electronic
stability control and the traction
control system are reactivated.
Fault
If there is a fault in the system, the control indicator J illuminates
continuously, a message appears in
the Driver Information Centre and a warning chime sounds. The system is not operational.Have the cause of the fault remedied
by a workshop.

122Driving and operatingThe function can be deactivated or
activated in the vehicle
personalisation 3 77.
Exceeding the set speed
Vehicle speed can be increased by
depressing the accelerator pedal.
When the accelerator pedal is
released, the previously stored speed is resumed.
Deactivation of the functionality Press i, cruise control is in pause
mode and a message is displayed.
The vehicle is driven without cruise
control.
Cruise control is deactivated, but not
switched off. Last stored speed
remains in memory for later speed
resume.
Cruise control is deactivated
automatically in the following cases:
● The brake pedal is depressed.
● Vehicle speed is below 40 km/h.
● The traction control system or electronic stability control is
operating.● The selector lever is in N
(automatic transmission) or the
first or second gear (on some
manual transmissions) is
engaged.
● Immediately after the clutch pedal has been depressed or a
few seconds after the clutch
pedal has been depressed
(depending on the manual
transmission).
Resume stored speed
Move thumb wheel to RES/+ at a
speed above 40 km/h. The stored
speed will be obtained.
Switching off the system
Press v, the cruise control mode is
deselected and the cruise control
indication extinguishes in the Driver
Information Centre.
Pressing 5 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 30 km/h.
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.
