Adaptive cruise control
Adaptive cruise control is an
enhancement to conventional cruise
control with the additional feature of maintaining a certain distance behind the vehicle ahead.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 in front, but will
not exceed the set speed. It may
apply limited braking with activated
brake lights.
To facilitate overtaking a vehicle on
the motorway, the activation of the
turn lights reduces the following
distance for a short time. This function is implemented only on the respective
driver's side depending on left or right
hand drive vehicle configuration.
The adaptive cruise control can store
set speed over 30 km/h. On vehicles
with automatic transmissions the
system can brake until a full stop and drive off from a stop.

Driving and operating185
The selected following distance is
indicated by filled distance bars in the
adaptive cruise control page.
Note that the following distance
setting is shared with the sensitivity
setting of forward collision alert
3 190.
Example: If setting 3 (far) is selected,
then the driver is warned sooner
before a possible collision, also if
adaptive cruise control is inactive or
switched off.
9 Warning
The Driver accepts full
responsibility to drive with the
appropriate following distance
based on traffic, weather, visibility and regional regulation. Followingdistance must be adjusted or the
system switched off when required by the prevailing conditions.
Indication on Driver Assistance page
Adaptive cruise control in Sport
mode
On vehicles with Flex Ride driving
modes, the driver can slightly
increase the Adaptive cruise control
acceleration when Sport mode is
selected. This function can be
deactivated in the Flex Ride
visualisation menu 3 176.

188Driving and operatingSystem limits9Warning
The system's automatic brake
force does not permit hard braking and the braking level may not be
sufficient to avoid a collision.
● After a sudden lane change, the system needs a certain time to
detect the next preceding
vehicle. So if a new vehicle is
detected, the system may
accelerate instead of braking.
● Adaptive cruise control does ignore the oncoming traffic.
● Adaptive cruise control does not consider pedestrians and
animals for braking and driving
off.
● Adaptive cruise control considers
stopped vehicles only at low
speed.
● Do not use adaptive cruise control when towing a trailer.
● Do not use adaptive cruise control on roads with an incline ofmore than 10%.
Bends
The adaptive cruise control calculates
a predicted path based on the
centrifugal force. This predicted path
considers the current bend
characteristic, but cannot consider a
future bend change. The system may lose the current vehicle ahead or
consider a vehicle which is not in the
actual lane. This can happen when
entering or exiting a bend or if the
bend gets stronger or weaker. The
camera applies a certain correction
based on the detectable lane
markings. The control indicator A will
extinguish, if a vehicle ahead is no longer detected.
If the centrifugal force is too high in a
bend, the system slows down the
vehicle slightly. This braking level is
not designed to avoid spinning-off the
bend. The driver is responsible for
reducing the selected speed before
entering a bend and in general to
adapt the speed to the road type and
to existing speed limits.
Motorways
On motorways, adapt the set speed
to the situation and the weather.
Always consider that adaptive cruise
control has a limited visibility range, a
limited braking level and a certain
reaction time to verify if a vehicle is on
the driving path or not. Furthermore,
adaptive cruise control was designed to brake as late as possible to allow
changing the lane before the
automatic braking. Adaptive cruise
control may not be able to brake the
vehicle in time to avoid a collision with

verify and adjust the radar unit
position.
Settings
A vehicle message and chime
reminds the driver to drive off when
the adaptive cruise control holds the vehicle at standstill. This function
named Go Notifier can be activated
and deactivated in the vehicle
personalisation menu in the Info
Display.
Vehicle personalisation 3 123.
Fault
If the adaptive cruise control does not
work due to temporary conditions
(e.g. blockage by ice, overheated
brakes or low speed manoeuvres) or if there is a permanent system error,
a message is displayed in the Driver
Information Centre.
Vehicle messages 3 122.
Forward collision alert
The forward collision alert is part of
the forward collision system 3 123. It
can help to avoid or reduce the harm
caused by front-end crashes.
A vehicle ahead is indicated by the
control indicator A.
Additionally, the status of the forward
collision alert is indicated on the
Driver Assistance page in the Driver
Information Center 3 111.
If the vehicle is equipped with
conventional cruise control, the
forward collision alert uses the front
camera in the windscreen to detect a
vehicle directly ahead, in your path.
If the vehicle is equipped with
adaptive cruise control, the forward
collision alert uses the radar sensor
and front camera to detect a vehicle
directly ahead, in your path.
Forward collision alert with front
camera detects vehicles to distances
of approx. 60 m and operates
automatically at all speeds above
walking speed.Forward collision alert with radar
sensor detects vehicles to distances
of approx. 150 m and operates
automatically at all speeds above
walking speed.
Activation
A precondition is that forward collision
alert in the vehicle personalisation
menu is not deactivated 3 123.
Alerting the driver The vehicle ahead control indicator
A illuminates green in the instrument
cluster when the system has detected
a vehicle in the driving path. On
vehicles with head-up display, A is
projected on the windscreen.
The control indicator A changes to
amber when the distance to a
preceding moving vehicle gets too
small.Caution
The colour lighting of this control
indicator does not correspond to
local traffic laws on following

Driving and operating195If equipped only with front camera the
active emergency braking operates in
forward gear above walking speed up to 80 km/h.
If equipped with radar sensor, active
emergency braking operates in
forward gear at all speeds above
walking speed. Only front pedestrian
protection is active up to 80 km/h.
Activation A precondition is that Forward
Collision System and Front
pedestrian detection are not
deactivated in the vehicle
personalisation menu 3 123.
Brake preparation system When approaching a vehicle ahead
or a pedestrian so quickly that a
collision is likely, the brake
preparation system slightly
pressurises the brakes. This reduces
the response time, when a manual or
automatic braking is requested.Emergency automatic braking
After activation of brake preparation
system and just before the imminent
collision, this function automatically
applies limited braking to reduce the
impact speed of the collision or
prohibit a crash.
If active emergency braking is
applied, a message appears in the Driver Information Center and a
chime sounds.
Depending on the situation, the
vehicle may automatically brake
moderately or hard. This front
automatic braking can only occur if a
vehicle ahead is detected, indicated by the vehicle ahead indicator A
3 190. On vehicles with front
pedestrian protection, front automatic
braking can also occur when a
pedestrian ahead is detected.
Below a speed of 40 km/h the system can apply full braking.
Emergency automatic braking may slow the vehicle to a complete stop to
try to avoid a potential crash. If this
happens, emergency automatic
braking may engage the electricparking brake to hold the vehicle at a
stop. To release press the electric
parking brake button or firmly press
the accelerator pedal.9 Warning
Emergency automatic braking is
an emergency crash preparation
feature and is not designed to
avoid crashes. Do not rely on the
system to brake the vehicle.
Emergency automatic braking will
not brake outside of its operating speed range and only responds to
detected vehicles and
pedestrians.
Forward looking brake assist
In addition to the brake preparation
system and emergency automatic
braking, the forward looking brake
assist function makes the brake assist more sensitive. Therefore, pressing
the brake pedal less strongly results
in immediate hard braking. This
function helps the driver brake
quicker and harder before the
imminent collision.

202Driving and operatingGSi models only
In vehicles with automatic
transmission, the driver must control
acceleration and gear shifting, while
braking and steering is done
automatically.
Advanced parking assist is always
combined with front-rear parking assist. Both systems use the same
sensors in the front and rear bumper.
The system has six ultrasonic parking sensors each in both the rear and
front bumper.
Activation of advanced parking assist
Advanced parking assist can only be
activated when driving forwards.
When searching for a parking slot, the system is ready to operate with a
short press of (.
The system recognises and
memorises 10 m for parallel parking
slots or 6 m for perpendicular parking
slots in the parking assist mode.
The system can only be activated and
searches for a parking slot at a speed
up to 30 km/h.
Advanced parking assist may not be
activated when driving on very steep
inclines.
FunctionalityParking slot searching mode,
indication in the Driver Information
Centre
Select parallel or perpendicular
parking slot in Driver Information
Centre by long press on (.
The system is configured to detect parking slots by default on the
passenger side. To detect parking
slots on the driver side, switch on turn
lights on the driver side.

206Driving and operatingSide blind spot alertThe Side blind spot alert system
detects and reports objects on either
side of the vehicle, 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.
The radar distance sensors are
located in the rear bumper.9 Warning
Side blind spot alert does not
replace driver vision.
The system does not detect:
● vehicles outside the side blind zones which may be rapidly
approaching
● pedestrians, cyclists or animals
Before changing a lane, always
check all mirrors, look over the
shoulder and use the turn lights.
When the vehicle is started, both
exterior mirror displays will briefly
illuminate to indicate that the system
is operating.
When the system detects a moving
vehicle in the side blind spot while
driving forwards, either while passing
a vehicle or being passed, a yellow
warning symbol F will illuminate in
the relevant exterior mirror. If the
driver then activates the turn lights,
the warning symbol F starts
flashing yellow as a warning not to
change lanes.
Side blind spot alert is active at any
speed.
Deactivation
Activation or deactivation of the Side
blind zone alert can be set in the
vehicle personalisation menu in the
Info Display.
Vehicle personalisation 3 123.
Info Display 3 117.
Deactivation is indicated by a message in the Driver Information
Centre.
System limitations Occasional missed alerts can occur
under normal circumstances or in
sharp curves. The system can
temporarily alert of objects in the blind spot at specific weather conditions
(rain, hail etc). Driving on a wet road
or in the transitions from a dry area to
a wet area can cause the control
indicator F to light up, as water
splash can be interpreted as an object. Otherwise the control indicator
F may illuminate due to guardrails,
signs, trees, shrubs or other immobile objects. This is normal operation and
the system does not need to be
serviced.

Driving and operating207The system may not operate properly
when:
● Ice, snow, mud, stickers, magnets, metal plates, or
anything else covers the sensors.
● Driving in heavy rainstorms. ● The vehicle had an accident or if the area surrounding the
detection sensor is damaged or
not properly repaired.
● There are extreme temperature changes.
● The vehicle is towing a trailer
In the event of a fault in the system or if the system does not work due to
temporary conditions, a message is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre. Seek the assistance of a
workshop.
Note
Each new vehicle requires a
calibration. For optimal
performance, drive as soon as
possible on a straight motorway
road with roadside objects, e.g.
guardrails and barriers for some
distance.Lane change alert
Additional to the side blind spot alert3 206, lane change alert recognises
rapidly approaching vehicles from
behind on parallel lanes next to your
vehicle.
The system alerts visually in each
exterior mirror when detecting rapidly
approaching vehicles from behind.
The radar distance sensors are
located in the rear bumper.9 Warning
Lane change alert does not
replace driver vision.
Before changing a lane, always
check all mirrors, look over the
shoulder and use the turn light.
When the system detects an
approaching vehicle from behind
which drives considerably faster, the
yellow warning symbol F will
illuminate in the relevant exterior mirror. If the driver then activates the
turn lights, the warning symbol F
starts flashing yellow as a warning not to change lanes.
Lane change alert is active at all
speeds.
When the vehicle is started, both
exterior mirror displays will briefly come on to indicate that the system is operating.
