Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC)
Introduction to the topic
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) main-
tains a constant speed that you ha
ve set.
If the vehicle approaches a vehicle in
front, the ACC automatically adapts the
speed so that a distance you have selec-
ted is maintained.
Does the vehicle have ACC?
The vehicle is equipped with ACC if you can
adjust settings for ACC in the Assist systems
menu in the Infotainment system.
Speed range
You can set the speed between 20 km/h
(15 mph) and the maximum speed.
Driving with ACC
You can override the active ACC system at
any time. Cruise control will be stopped if you
brake. If you accelerate, cruise control will be
interrupted while you are accelerating and
then resumed.
The intervention by the ACC system is less
dynamic when towing a trailer.
Driver intervention prompt
If automatic deceleration by the ACC
system is not sufficient or the system
limits have been reached, the ACC
system will request you to also brake
by a corresponding message on the
instrument cluster. In addition, the
red warning lamp lights up and an
acoustic warning is given. Take over
control of the vehicle and be prepared
to brake.
Radar sensor
ACC detects driving situations using a radar
sensor at the front of the vehicle. The range of the radar sensor is up to approximately
160 m (

around 520 ft). WARNING
The intelligent ACC technology cannot
o
vercome the laws of physics, and func-
tions only within the limits of the system.
Never let the extra convenience tempt you
into taking safety risks when driving. Care-
less or unintentional use of ACC can cause
accidents or injuries. The system is not
a substitute for the full concentration of
the driver.
x Adapt your speed and the distance from
the vehicles ahead to suit visibility,
weather, road and traffic conditions.
x Never use the ACC in poor visibility, on
steep or winding roads, or on slippery
road surfaces, e.g. due to snow, ice,
moisture or loose chippings, or when
roads are flooded.
x Never use the ACC offroad or on unsur-
faced roads. The ACC is designed for use
on surfaced roads only.
x Take control of the vehicle immediately
if requested to do so by a prompt on the
instrument cluster display or if the speed
reduction by ACC is not sufficient.
x Brake if the vehicle starts moving unin-
tentionally, e.g. after a driver interven-
tion prompt.
x Be prepared to control the speed your-
self at all times. Special driving situations
Please refer to at the start of the chap-
ter on page 151.
Predictiv

e cruise control system
If the vehicle is equipped with the Dynamic
Road Sign Display function and an Infotain-
ment system with navigation, ACC can pre-
dictively adapt the vehicle speed to detected
speed limits and the course of the road ahead

Advance warning
The system detects a possible colli-
sion and prepares the vehicle for pos-
sible emergency braking.
An acoustic warning sounds and the red
warning lamp lights up. Brake or take avoid-
ing action.
Urgent warning
If the driver does not react to the advance
warning, the system may initiate a short
braking jolt in order to draw attention to the
increasing collision risk. Brake or take avoid-
ing action.
Automatic braking
If the driver also does not react to the urgent
warning, the vehicle can be braked automati- cally with braking force that increases in sev-
eral stages. The reduced speed means that it
is possible to minimise the consequences of
an accident.
Braking interv
ention
If the system detects that the driver is brak-
ing insufficiently when there is a risk of colli-
sion, the system can increase the braking
force and help prevent a collision. The brak-
ing intervention takes place only for as long
as the brake pedal is pressed hard.
Distance warning
The system detects when safety
is endangered by driving too
close to the vehicle in front. The indi-
cator lamp lights up. Increase the dis-
tance.
Speed range: around 65 km/h (around
40 mph) to around 250 km/h (around
155 mph). Area monitoring system 161

The yellow indicator lamp flashes if a pos-
sible critical situation is detected when you
indicate in the direction of the detected v
ehi-
cle.
The faster another vehicle approaches, the
earlier there is a corresponding display in the
exterior mirror.
Lane change system “Side Assist Plus”
If the vehicle is equipped with a lane keeping
system (Lane Assist) and the system is
switched on, the driver is warned by a correc-
tive steering intervention when changing
lanes during a possible critical situation (in-
formation level, warning level). The steering
intervention also occurs when the turn signal
is activated for the corresponding direction. If
the steering intervention is overridden by the
driver, the steering wheel vibrates to give an
additional warning. For this, steering wheel
vibration must be activated in the Assist sys-
tems menu in the Infotainment system.
Automatic deactivation
The lane change system will switch off auto-
matically if the radar sensors are permanent-
ly covered. This can be caused by a layer of
ice or snow in front of the radar sensor, for
example.
A text message will be shown on the instru-
ment cluster display.
If you use the factory-fitted trailer towing
coupling and have set up the necessary elec-
trical connection, the lane change system
switches off automatically. After you have
disconnected the electrical connection, the
lane change system is switched back on au-
tomatically.
If the trailer towing coupling is not factory-
fitted, you must manually switch off the lane
change system and then switch it back on
again.
Brightness
The brightness of the visual display will
change automatically depending on the am-
bient light levels. You can adjust the basic brightness of the
display in the Assist systems menu in the In-
f
otainment system. The lane change system
is not active during the setting procedure. Troubleshooting
Please refer to at the start of the chap-
ter on page 172. Lane change system fault.
The indicator lamp lights up yellow. The yel-
low central warning lamp also lights up.

Parking the vehicle WARNING
If the vehicle is not parked properly it can
roll away e
ven on a slight gradient. This can
cause accidents and serious injuries.
x When parking, observe the specified or-
der.
x Before leaving the vehicle, make sure
that the electronic parking brake is
switched on and that the indicator
lamp next to the driving mode selec-
tor lights up red. 1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2.

Do not use fuel, nail v arnish remover, paint
thinner or similar products to clean the
windows. Wax deposits on the windscreen and
rear window could cause the wiper
blades to rub. Remo

ve wax residue using
a special cleaning product or cleaning cloths. Exterior lighting
Introduction to the topic
Bef

ore changing a bulb, check whether a bulb
or LED light unit has failed. You can normally
change bulbs yourself. If the exterior lighting
is realised using LED technology, depending
on model and vehicle equipment, it is not
possible for you to change the LED light units
or individual LEDs yourself. If individual LEDs
fail, this may be an indication that more LEDs
are on the point of failure. In this case, have
the LED light units checked and renewed if
necessary at a qualified workshop.
It may be illegal to drive with faulty exterior
lights.
Additional bulb specifications
Some bulbs might have factory specifications
that differ from standard bulbs. The designa-
tion is inscribed on the bulb, either on the
glass part or on the base. WARNING
Changing bulbs incorrectly can cause acci-
dents and serious injuries.
x When working in the bonnet space, al-
ways read and observ

e the safety warn-
ings

x
If the power supply of the towed v ehicle
fails, stop towing immediately and seek
expert assistance. NOTICE
Towing with a tow-rope or tow-bar can dam-
age the v
ehicle.
x Tow the vehicle carefully with a tow-rope
or tow-bar.
x If possible, have the broken-down vehicle
transported by a breakdown truck. NOTICE
When pushing the vehicle by hand, the tail
light clusters, side spoilers on the rear win-
dow and large panels can be damaged and
the rear spoiler may become detached.
x When pushing the v

ehicle by hand, do not
press on the tail light clusters, side spoilers
on the rear window, large panels and the
rear spoiler. NOTICE
The vehicle can be damaged, e.g. the vehicle
paintwork, when remo
ving and fitting the
cover and towing eye.
x Remove and install the cover and the tow-
ing eye carefully so as to avoid damage to
the vehicle. NOTICE
Use of a towing eye that is not suitable for
the v
ehicle can damage the vehicle.
x Always use the towing eye supplied in the
vehicle toolkit of your vehicle or a towing
eye that is suitable for the vehicle for tow-
ing. Notes on towing
Please refer to and at the start of
the chapter on page 304.
It is still possible to activ

ate the turn signals
in a vehicle that is being towed, even if the
hazard warning lights are switched on. To do
this, operate the turn signal and main beam
lever in the required direction while the igni-
tion is switched on. The hazard warning lights
will not flash while the turn signal is being
used. The hazard warning lights will start
flashing again automatically as soon as the
turn signal and main beam lever is moved
back to the neutral position.
In which situations may the vehicle not be
towed?
In the following situations, the vehicle may
not be towed for a long distance on its own
tyres:

Changing a wheel
Introduction to the topic
You should carry out a wheel change yourself
only when the v
ehicle is parked safely, you
are familiar with the safety procedures and
have access to the correct equipment. Some
models are delivered from the factory with-
out a jack or box spanner. If this is the case,
wheels should be changed by a qualified
workshop.
The jack supplied with the vehicle is only de-
signed for changing a wheel when one vehi-
cle tyre is damaged and has to be replaced. If
both tyres on one side of the vehicle, both
tyres on one axle, or all tyres are damaged,
seek expert assistance. WARNING
Changing a wheel can be dangerous, espe-
cially when carried out at the side of a road.
Please note the f

ollowing steps in order to
reduce the risk of serious injuries:
x Stop the vehicle as soon as possible and
when safe to do so. Park the vehicle at
a safe distance from moving traffic in
order to carry out the wheel change.
x All passengers and children in particular
must be at a safe distance and away
from the area of work during the wheel
change.
x Switch on the hazard warning lights to
warn other road users.
x Check that the surface the vehicle is
parked on is level and firm. If necessary,
use a large, strong board or similar sup-
port for the jack.
x Only change the wheel yourself when
you feel confident with carrying out the
procedure. If not, seek expert assistance.
x Always use suitable and undamaged
tools to change the wheel.
x Always switch off the electric drive via
the ignition and move the selector lever to the P position to reduce the risk of
unintended v

ehicle movement.
x Switch on the electronic parking brake.
x The wheel bolt tightening torque should
be checked with a correctly functioning
torque wrench immediately after chang-
ing a wheel.
x In the case of vehicles with a Tyre Pres-
sure Loss Indicator, the system must be
re-synchronised immediately after
a wheel change
