Driving and operating151System limitationsThe rear view camera may not
operate properly when:
● the surrounding is dark
● the beam of headlights is shining
directly into the camera lenses
● weather limits visibility, such as fog, rain, or snow
● the camera lenses are blocked by snow, ice, slush, mud, dirt.Clean the lense, rinse with water,
and wipe with a soft cloth
● the vehicle is towing an electrically connected trailer,
bicycle carrier, etc.
● the vehicle had a rear end accident
● there are extreme temperature changes
Traffic sign assistant
The traffic sign assistant is an
extension of the speed limit
recognition available for speed
limiter, cruise control and adaptive
cruise control.
The system recognises the traffic signs above and displays them in the
Driver Information Centre.
9 Warning
The actual traffic sign always
takes priority over the traffic sign displayed in the Driver Information Centre.
If the vehicle enters a road of whichthe entry is prohibited, the no entry
traffic symbol and a warning message are displayed in the Driver
Information Centre. If the system
detects one of the other traffic signs,
the respective traffic sign is displayed
in the Driver Information Centre.
Speed limiter 3 121
Cruise control 3 119
Adaptive cruise control 3 123
Lane keep assist
Lane keep assist supports the driver
to avoid unintended leaving of the
lane. The front camera observes road
edges, as well as the lane markings
between which the vehicle is driving.
If the vehicle approaches a road edge or a lane marking, the steering wheel
is gently turned to position so that the
vehicle turns back into the lane. The
driver will then notice a turning
movement of the steering wheel. Turn steering wheel in same direction, if
the system does not steer sufficiently.
Turn steering wheel gently into
opposite direction, if lane change is
intended.
When the system steers to correct the trajectory of the vehicle, L flashes
yellow in the instrument cluster.
Unintended lane departure is not
assumed by the system when the turn lights are operated and during few
seconds after turn lights have been
switched off.
152Driving and operatingNotice
The system may be switched off if it
detects lanes which are too narrow,
too wide or too curved.
Following preconditions have to be
fulfilled:
● vehicle speed must be between 40 mph and 112 mph
● the driver must hold the steering wheel
● the turn lights are not activated ● the electronic stability control is activated and not in operation
● the vehicle is not connected to a trailer or an electric bicycle carrier
● normal driving behaviour (system
detects dynamic driving style, i.e. pressure on the brake or
accelerator pedal)
● roads with good lane markings ● no spare wheel is used
● the driver is not taking the hands off the steering wheel for a longer
time period
● the vehicle is not driven in a tight
cornerActivation
If the system is activated, the LED in
the button j is not illuminated. To
activate the system when the system
is deactivated, press j.
The system is operational at vehicle
speeds between 40 mph and
112 mph and if lane markings are
detectable. The driver must hold the
steering wheel. The electronic
stability control system must be
activated.
The control indicator L flashes
yellow during trajectory correction.
If the driver wishes to maintain the
trajectory of the vehicle, he can
interrupt the correction by keeping a
firm grip on the steering wheel, e.g.
during an avoiding manoeuvre. The
correction is interrupted if the turn
lights are operated. If the vehicle is
equipped with active side blind spot detection, the interruption of the lane
correction might be cancelled.
Side blind zone assistant 3 145.
There is no correction triggered when
the turn lights are operated and
during few seconds after turn lights
have been switched off.
If the system detects that the driver is not holding the steering wheel
permanently, it interrupts the
correction. A warning message in the
Driver Information Centre
accompanied by a warning chime
alerts the driver when immediate
driver´s action is required.
158Driving and operatingTrailer hitch
General information
Only use towing equipment that has
been approved for your vehicle.
Entrust retrofitting of towing
equipment to a workshop. It may be
necessary to make changes that
affect the cooling system, heat
shields or other equipment.
The bulb outage detection function for trailer brake light cannot detect a
partial bulb outage. E.g. in case of
four bulbs with a power of 5 W each,
the function only detects lamp outage
when only a single 5 W lamp remains
or none remain.
Trailers equipped with LED lights are
not suitable for the wiring harness of
this trailer hitch.
Fitting of towing equipment could
cover the opening of the towing eye.
If this is the case, use the coupling ball
bar for towing. Always keep the
coupling ball bar in the vehicle to have
it on hand if needed.Driving characteristics and
towing tips
Before attaching a trailer, lubricate
the coupling ball. However, do not do
so if a stabiliser, which acts on the
coupling ball, is being used to reduce snaking movements.
During trailer towing do not exceed a
speed of 50 mph. A maximum speed
of 60 mph is only appropriate if an
oscillation damper is used and the
permissible gross trailer weight does
not exceed the vehicle’s curb weight.
For trailers with low driving stability
and caravan trailers, the use of an
oscillation damper is strongly
recommended.
If the trailer starts snaking, drive more
slowly, do not attempt to correct the
steering and brake sharply if
necessary.
When driving downhill, drive in the
same gear as if driving uphill and
drive at a similar speed.
Adjust tyre pressure to the value
specified for full load 3 208.Trailer towing
Trailer loadsThe permissible trailer loads are
vehicle and engine-dependent
maximum values which must not be
exceeded. The actual trailer load is
the difference between the actual
gross weight of the trailer and the
actual coupling socket load with the
trailer coupled.
The permissible trailer loads are
specified in the vehicle documents. In general, they are valid for gradients
up to 12%.
The permissible trailer load applies
up to the specified incline and at sea
level. Since engine power decreases
as altitude increases due to the air
becoming thinner, therefore reducing
climbing ability, the permissible gross
train weight also decreases by 10%
for every 1000 m of altitude. The
gross train weight does not have to be reduced when driving on roads with
slight inclines (less than 8%, e.g.
motorways).
