DRIVER SUPPORT
}}
* Option/accessory.313
In order to help your vehicle follow the vehicle ahead as smoothly and comfortably as possi-ble, Adaptive Cruise Control allows the timeinterval to vary noticeably in certain situations.At low speeds, when the distance to the vehi-cle ahead is short, Adaptive Cruise Controlincreases the time interval slightly.
NOTE

The greater the vehicles' speed, the greater the distance between them fora set time interval.
Only use the time intervals permittedby local traffic regulations.
If driver support does not seem torespond with a speed increase whenactivated, it may be because the timeinterval to the vehicle ahead is shorterthan the set time interval.
WARNING
Only use a time interval suitable for the current traffic conditions.
The driver should be aware that shorttime intervals give them limited time toreact and act to any unforeseen trafficsituation.

Auto-hold braking with driver support
The driver support functions Adaptive Cruise Control * and Pilot Assist * have a special brake
function in slow traffic and while stationary.
Braking function in slow traffic and at a standstill
In slow-moving, stop-and-go traffic or when stopped at a traffic light, driving will resumeautomatically if the vehicle is stopped for lessthan approx. 3 seconds. If it takes more than 3seconds for the vehicle ahead to begin movingagain, the driver support function will go intostandby mode and the auto-hold brake func-tion will activate.
–The function can be reactivated by:
Pressing the
button on the steer-
ing wheel keypad.
Pressing the accelerator pedal.
> The function will resume following the vehicle ahead if it begins to move within approx. 6 seconds.
WARNING
A noticeable increase in speed may follow when the speed is resumed with the
steering wheel button.

WARNING
The driver support system only issues a warning for obstacles detected by its radarsensor – thus, a warning may come after adelay or not at all.
Never wait for a warning or assistance. Apply the brakes when necessary.
NOTE
Driver support can keep the vehicle sta- tionary for no more than 5 minutes – afterthat time the parking brake is applied andthe function is deactivated. The parking brake must be released before driver support can be reactivated.
Deactivation of the Auto-hold brake function
In certain situations, auto-hold will be deacti- vated when the vehicle is at a standstill andthe function will go into standby mode. This means that the brakes will be released and the vehicle could begin to roll. The driver mustactively apply the brakes to keep the vehiclestationary. This can occur if:
the driver depresses the brake pedal
the parking brake is applied
the gear selector is moved to the
P, N or R
positions
the driver puts the function in standby mode.
Auto Activate Parking BrakeIn certain situations, the parking brake will beapplied to keep the vehicle at a standstill. This occurs if the function is keeping the vehi- cle stationary using the brakes and:
the driver opens the door or unbuckleshis/her seat belt
the function has kept the vehicle at astandstill for more than approx. 5 minutes
the brakes overheat
the driver switches off the engine man-ually.

Drive mode for driver support The driver can choose different drive modes to determine how driver support shouldmaintain a time interval to the vehicle ahead.
Settings are made using the
DRIVE MODE
controls. Select one of the following:

Pure - Driver support will focus on provid-
ing good fuel economy, which will increase the time interval to the vehicleahead.

Hybrid - Driver support will focus on fol-
lowing the set time interval to the vehicle ahead as smoothly as possible.

Power - Driver support will focus on fol-
lowing the set time interval to the vehicle ahead more exactly, which could meanfaster acceleration and heavier braking.

Curve Speed Assist (CSA) *48
Curve Speed Assist can help the driver
reduce speed before sharp turns if the preset speed for the driver support function Adap- tive Cruise Control * or Pilot Assist * is deter-
mined to be too high.
This assessment is performed using informa- tion from map data in the vehicle's navigation system, Sensus Navigation *. After the turn,
the vehicle will resume the previously set speed.
As the function reduces thevehicle's speed, this symbolwill be displayed in the instru-ment panel.
The driver can cancel the function at any time by braking or using the accelerator pedal.
WARNING
The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate drivingand help make it safer – it cannot han-dle all situations in all traffic, weatherand road conditions.
The driver is advised to read all sec-tions in the Owner's Manual about thisfunction to learn of its limitations,which the driver must be aware ofbefore using the function.
Driver support functions are not a sub-stitute for the driver's attention andjudgment. The driver is always respon-sible for ensuring the vehicle is drivenin a safe manner, at the appropriatespeed, with an appropriate distance toother vehicles, and in accordance withcurrent traffic rules and regulations.
Drive modes
Cornering assistance varies depending on the selected drive mode. If drive mode cannot be selected, the function will use the
Comfortoption. In Dynamic mode, cornering will be
sporty, with slightly more powerful accelera- tion coming out of curves.

limitations
Curve Speed Assist (CSA) functionality may be reduced in certain situations. This functionis only available on some markets.
The driver should be aware of the following limitations:
Curve Speed Assist (CSA) may have lim-ited performance on small roads and indensely populated areas.
At off-ramps or intersections, CurveSpeed Assist (CSA) may temporarilyswitch off.
If the satellite navigator's 50
map data is
not updated, Curve Speed Assist (CSA)may have limited functionality.
Curve Speed Assist (CSA) functionality may be limited if the satellite navigator 50
has lost contact with the satellite system.
On new or rebuilt roads, map data may be incorrect.
The risk of reduced grip due to adverseweather or road conditions is not takeninto account when calculating suitablecornering speed.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera and radar sensor, which has certain generallimitations.

Passing assistance Passing assistance can assist the driver when passing other vehicles. The function can be used with Adaptive Cruise Control * or Pilot
Assist *.
How passing assistance worksWhen Adaptive Cruise Control or Pilot Assist is following another vehicle and you indicatethat you intend to pass that vehicle by using the turn signal 51
, the system will begin accel-
erating toward the vehicle ahead before your
vehicle has moved into the passing lane. The function will then delay a speed reduction to avoid early braking as your vehicleapproaches a slower-moving vehicle. The function remains active until your vehicle has passed the other vehicle.
WARNING
Please note that this function can be acti- vated in more situations than just passinganother vehicle, such as when a directionindicator is used to indicate a lane changeor before exiting to another road – the vehi-cle will then briefly accelerate.

Using passing assistance Passing assistance can be used with Adap- tive Cruise Control * or Pilot Assist *. Several
conditions must be met for passing assis- tance to be possible.
In order to activate passing assistance:
your vehicle must be following a vehicle ahead (target vehicle)
your vehicle's
current speed must be
at least 70 km/h (43 mph)
the set speed
must be high enough to
safely pass another vehicle.
To start passing assistance:
–Turn on the left turn signal.
> Passing assistance will start.
51 Only the left-hand turn signal for left-hand drive vehicles, or right-hand turn signal for right-hand drive vehicles.

WARNING
The driver should be aware that if condi- tions suddenly change when using PassingAssistance, the function may implement anundesired acceleration in certain condi-tions. Some situations should be avoided, e.g. if: the vehicle is approaching an exit in the same direction as passing would nor-mally occur
the vehicle ahead slows before yourvehicle has had time to switch to thepassing lane
traffic in the passing lane slows down
Situations of this type can be avoided by tem-porarily putting Adaptive Cruise Control or
Pilot Assist in standby mode.
