When you draw closer to a vehicle in front, the
adaptive cruise control matches your speed to
that vehicle by applying the brakes, and then
maintains a constant distance (which you can ad­
just in the settings). If the vehicle in front accel­
erates, the adaptive cruise control will also accel­
erate up to the target speed you have specified.
The higher the speed, the higher the distance

The actual distance maintained by the adaptive
cruise control may be longer or shorter, depend­
ing on the traffic situation and the driving style
of the driver in front.
If you change the gap, the new setting will be
shown briefly on the instrument cluster display,

The traffic jam assist
can help to keep the vehicle in Lane. The system
steers the vehicle automatically when the adap­
tive cruise control is switched on (subject to cer­
tain inherent system limitations). As the name
implies, the purpose of the traffic jam assist
function is to assist the driver; the driver must
keep his/her hands on the steering wheel at all
times and must always be ready to take over the

steering.
The driver can override the automatic
steering at any time by steering manually.
The system is designed for driving on motorways
and major roads.
Requirements for using the traffic jam assist
• The vehicle's speed must be below
65
km/h.
• The active lane assist must be switched on and
it must have detected a demarcation line on •

Emergency assist
Applies to: vehicles with emergency assist
The emergency assist takes over controL of the
vehicle in certain situations and can help to pre­
vent accidents. It is an extension of the active
lane assist and can use the functions of the adap­
tive cruise control system
<=>^.
The emergency
assist is activated when it detects that the driver
has stopped steering the vehicle.
Functions of the emergency assist
The emergency assist monitors the steering ac­
tivity of the driver. It detects if the driver is inac­
tive and gives repeated visual and audible warn­
ings as well as brake jolts prompting the driver to
take proactive control of the vehicle again. The
hazard warning lights are also switched on when
the first sharp brake jolt is given below
a
speed of
80
km/h15.

If the driver does not take over, the system inter­
venes by steering the vehicle (within the limita­
tions of the system) to keep it in lane, and by ap­
plying the brakes until the vehicle has stopped*.

Intelligent technology
Dynamic power management
While the vehicle is moving, this function distrib­
utes the available power to the various electrical
components and systems according to their re­
quirements. It ensures that on-board systems do
not consume more electrical power than is being

generated,
and thus maintains the maximum
possible vehicle battery power level.
® Note
- The power management system is not able
to overcome the given physical limits.
Please remember that the power and life of
the vehicle battery are limited.
- If the indicator lamp
|3 ^page
31 appears,
the starting ability may be impaired.
Starting ability has first priority.
Short trips, city traffic and low temperatures all
place a heavy load on the vehicLe battery. In
these conditions a large amount of power is
con­

sumed,
but only
a
small amount is supplied. The
situation is also critical if electrical equipment is
in use when the engine is not running. In this
case power is consumed when none is being
gen­

erated.

In these situations you will be aware that the
power management system is intervening to
con­

trol the distribution of electrical power.
When the vehicle is parked for long periods
If
you
do not drive your vehicle for a period of
several days or weeks, the power management
will gradually shut off the on-board systems one
by one, or reduce the amount of current they are

using.
This limits the amount of power consumed
and helps to ensure reliable starting even after a
long period. Certain convenience features, such
as remote controL unlocking, may not be availa­

ble.
These functions will be restored when you
switch on the ignition and start the engine.
150
With the engine switched off
If
you
listen to the radio or use the other info­
tainment functions when the engine is not
run­

ning,
this will discharge the vehicle battery.
The infotainment display will show a warning
message before the battery power drops to a Lev­
el where the starting ability is impaired. This
message warns you that the system you are using
will soon be switched off automatically. You
should therefore start the engine if
you
wish to
continue using the system.
When the engine is running
Although the alternator generates electrical
power, the vehicle battery can still become dis­
charged while the vehicle is being driven. This can
occur when a lot of power is being consumed but
only
a
small amount supplied, especially if the
vehicle battery is not fully charged initially.
To restore the necessary energy balance, the sys­
tem
will
then temporarily shut off the electrical
components that are using a lot of power, or re­
duce the current they are consuming. Heating
systems in particular use a Large amount of elec­
trical power. If
you
notice, for instance, that the
seat heating* or the rear window heater is not

working,
they may have been temporarily switch­
ed off or regulated to a lower heat output. These
systems will be available again as soon as
suffi­

cient electrical power is available.
You may also notice that the engine runs at a
slightly faster idling speed. This is quite normal,
and no cause for concern. The increased idling
speed allows the alternator to meet the greater
power requirement and charge the vehicLe bat­
tery at the same time.
Information saved in the
control units
The vehicle is fitted in the factory with electronic
control units that, among other things, control
the engine and the gearbox. The controL units al­
so monitor the exhaust system and the airbags.
The control units continually analyse data rele­
vant to the vehicLe while you are driving. In the •
