If a higher gear is selected when
vehicle speed is too low, or a lower
gear when vehicle speed is too high,
the shift is not executed. This can
cause a message in the Driver
Information Centre.
In manual mode, no automatic
shifting to a higher gear takes place
at high engine revolutions.
Gear shift indication
The symbol Y or Z with a number
beside it is indicated when
gearshifting is recommended for fuel
saving reasons.
Shift indication appears only in
manual mode.
Electronic driving programmes
Following a cold start, the operatingtemperature programme increasesengine speed to quickly bring the
catalytic converter to the required
temperature.
Special programmes automatically
adapt the shifting points when driving
up inclines or down hills.In snowy or icy conditions or on other
slippery surfaces, the electronic
transmission control enables the
driver to select manually first, second or third gear for starting off.
Kickdown
Pressing down the accelerator pedal
beyond the kickdown detent will lead to maximum acceleration
independent of selected driving
mode. The transmission shifts to a lower gear depending on engine
speed.
Drive modes Four different drive modes are
selectable:
● Normal mode

Driving and operating119Driver assistance
systems9 Warning
Driver assistance systems are
developed to support the driver
and not to replace the driver's
attention.
The driver accepts full
responsibility when driving the
vehicle.
When using driver assistance
systems, always take care
regarding the current traffic
situation.
Cruise control
The cruise control can store and
maintain speeds above 25 mph.
Additionally, at least the third gear
must be engaged on some manual
transmissions. On automatic
transmission, position D or the
second or a higher gear in position
M must be selected.
Deviations from the stored speeds
may occur when driving uphill or
downhill.
The system maintains the vehicle
speed at the preset speed by the
driver, without any action on the
accelerator pedal.
The preset speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the
accelerator pedal firmly.
The status and preset speed is
displayed in the Driver Information Centre.
Do not use the cruise control if it is not advisable to maintain a constant
speed.Switching on the system
Press v.
Symbol v and a message are
displayed in the Driver Information Centre. The system is still not active.

Driving and operating121The function can be deactivated or
activated in the vehicle
personalisation 3 76.
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 25 mph.
● 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 25 mph. The stored
speed will be obtained.
Switching off the system

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 18 mph.
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

136Driving and operatingselected alert setting and vehicle
speed. Consider traffic and weather conditions when selecting the alert
timing.
Deactivation The system can only be deactivated
by deactivating the active emergency braking in the vehicle personalisation
3 76. When ignition is switched on
next time, system is activated.
System limitations
Forward collision alert is designed to
warn on vehicles, but may react also to other objects.
In the following cases, forward
collision alert may not detect a vehicle ahead or sensor performance is
limited:
● driving on winding or hilly roads
● driving during nighttime
● weather limits visibility, such as fog, rain, or snow● the sensor in the windscreen orthe 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
Front pedestrian protection Front pedestrian protection may help
to avoid or reduce the harm caused
by front-end crashes with pedestrians when driving forward.The system uses the front camera in
the windscreen and depending on the vehicle configuration a radar unit inthe front bumper to detect a
pedestrian directly ahead in the path.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.
Front pedestrian protection can
detect and alert to pedestrians in a
forward gear at speeds between
3 mph and 37 mph. Additionally, front pedestrian protection can provide a
boost to braking or automatically
brake the vehicle.
During nighttime driving, system
performance is limited.

Driving and operating1379Danger
Front pedestrian braking does not
provide an alert or automatically
brake the vehicle, unless it detects
a pedestrian.
The system may not detect
pedestrians, including children,
when the pedestrian is not directly ahead, not fully visible, not
standing upright, or when part of a
group.
The system can only be deactivated
by deactivating the active emergency braking in the vehicle personalisation
3 76. When ignition is switched on
next time, system is activated.
Front pedestrian alert When approaching a detected
pedestrian too quickly, a warning
message is displayed in the Driver
Information Centre. A warning chime
is provided.
Cruise control or adaptive cruise control may be disengaged when the
front pedestrian alert occurs.
System limitations
In the following cases, front
pedestrian protection may not detect
a pedestrian ahead or sensor
performance is limited:
● vehicle speed is out of range from
3 mph to 50 mph in forward gear
● driving on winding or hilly roads
● driving in the dark
● weather limits visibility, such as fog, rain, or snow
● 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 front bumper is damaged or affected by foreign objects, e.g.
license plate supportParking assist
General information
When attaching a trailer or bicycle
carrier to the trailer hitch, the parking
assist is deactivated.9 Warning
The driver bears full responsibility
for the parking manoeuvre.
Always check the surrounding
area when driving backwards or
forwards while using parking
assist system.
Rear parking assist
The system warns the driver with
acoustic signals and display
indication against potentially
hazardous obstacles behind the
vehicle while reverse gear is
engaged.

138Driving and operating
The system operates with ultrasonic
parking sensors in the rear bumper.
Activation
The system is ready to operate when
the LED in the parking assist button
e is not illuminated. The state of the
system is memorised when the
ignition is switched off.
Once activated, rear parking assist is
ready to operate when reverse gear
is engaged and ignition is switched
on.
Indication
Depending on which side of the
vehicle is closer to an obstacle, you
will hear acoustic warning signals in the vehicle on the respective side.
The interval between the sounds
becomes shorter as the vehicle gets
closer to that obstacle. When the
distance is less than approx. 30 cm,
the sound is continuous.
Additionally, the distance to rear
obstacles is displayed by changing
distance lines in the Info Display
3 74 . When the obstacle is very close,
+ for danger is displayed.
