Distance warning function (vehicles without Driv-
ing Assis tance Package)
The distance warning function can aid you in the
following situations with an intermittent warning
tone and a warning lamp:
= at speeds up to approximately 250 km/h
when approaching vehicles ahead
= at speeds up to approximately 80 km/h when
approaching stationary vehicles, pedestrians
walking in the direction of travel and cyclists
ahead
= at speeds up to approximately 60 km/h when
approaching crossing pedestrians
Distance warning function (vehicles with Driving
Assistance Package)
The distance warning function can aid you in the
following situations with an intermittent warning
tone and a warning lamp:
= at speeds up to approximately 250 km/h
when approaching vehicles ahead
= at speeds up to approximately 100 km/h
when approaching stationary vehicles =
at speeds up t o approximately 80 km/h when
approaching moving pedestrians and cyclists
ahead
= at speeds up to approximately 70 km/h when
approaching stationary pedestrians, crossing
vehicles and stationary and crossing cyclists
Autonomous braking function (vehicles without
Driving Assistance Package)
If the vehicle is travelling at speeds above approx-
imately 7 km/h, the autonomous braking function
may intervene in the following situations:
= at speeds up to approximately 200 km/h
when approaching vehicles ahead
= at speeds up to approximately 80 km/h when
approaching cyclists ahead
= at speeds up to approximately 60 km/h when
approaching stationary vehicles or moving
pedestrians Autonomous braking function (vehicles with Driv-
ing Assis
tance Package)
If the vehicle is travelling at speeds above approx-
imately 7 km/h, the autonomous braking function
may intervene in the following situations:
= at speeds up to approximately 250 km/h
when approaching vehicles ahead
= at speeds up to approximately 100 km/h
when approaching stationary vehicles
= at speeds up to approximately 80 km/h when
approaching cyclists ahead
= at speeds up to approximately 70 km/h when
approaching stationary and moving pedes-
trians, crossing vehicles and stationary and
crossing cyclists
Situation-dependent braking assistance (vehicles
without Driving Assistance Package)
The situation-dependent braking assistance can
intervene from a speed of approximately 7 km/h
in the following situations:
= at speeds up to approximately 250 km/h
when approaching vehicles ahead 206

Assis
t
You can cancel a brake application of Active
Brake Assist at any time by:
= sharply depressing the accelerator pedal or
with kickdown
= releasing the brake pedal
Active Brake Assist may cancel the brake applica-
tion when one of the following conditions is fulNl-
led:
= You manoeuvre to avoid the obstacle.
= There is no longer a risk of collision.
= An obstacle is no longer detected in front of
your vehicle.
Evasive Steering Assist (only vehicles with Driving
Assistance Package)
Evasive Steering Assist has the following charac-
teristics:
= The ability to detect stationary or moving
pedestrians.
= Assistance through power-assisted steering if
it detects a swerving manoeuvre. =
A ctivation by an abrupt steering movement
during a swerving manoeuvre.
= Assistance during swerving and straightening
of the vehicle.
= Reaction from a speed of approximately
20 km/h up to a speed of approximately
70 km/h.
You can prevent the assistance at any time by
actively steering.
Cornering function (only vehicles with Driving
Assistance Package)
If the system detects a risk of a collision with an
oncoming vehicle when turning across an oncom-
ing lane, autonomous braking can be initiated at
speeds below 15 km/h before you have les the
lane in which you are driving. &

Moreover, the steering support provided by
Ev asive Steering Assist is not suPcient to
avoid a collision. 
Always pay careful attention to the tr

situation; do not rely on Evasive Steering
Assist alone. 
Be prepared to brake or swerve if neces-

% Speed Limit Assist uses OpenStreetMap data,
whic
h is made available under the conditions
of the Open Database License (OBbL). For
more information, see: https://
www.osmfoundation.org/wiki/licence.
Speed Limit Assist detects speed limits with a
multifunction camer
a and displays them in the
instrument cluster and optionally in the head-up
display. The camera also detects speed limits with
a restriction indicated by an additional sign (e.g.
when wet). The system detects stop signs,
thereby preventing the engine from being
switched oM by the ECO start/stop function. Observe the notes on driving systems and your
r
esponsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise
dangers (  page 182).
Warning when the maximum permissible speed is
exceeded
The system can warn you if you unintentionally
exceed the maximum permissible speed. Depend-
ing on the country, you can set in the multimedia
system by how much the maximum permitted
speed may be exceeded before a warning is given.
You can specify whether the warning is to be just
a visual warning or an acoustic one as well.

System limits
The system may be impaired or may not function
in the following situations:
= If there is poor visibility, e.g. due to insuPcient
illumination of the road, highly variable shade
conditions, rain, snow, fog or heavy spray.
= If there is glare, e.g. from oncoming traPc,
direct sunlight or reOections.
= If there is dirt on the windscreen in the vicinity
of the multifunction camera or if the camera is
misted up, damaged or obscured.
= If the traPc signs are hard to detect, e.g. due
to dirt, snow or insuPcient lighting, or
because they are obscured.
= If you turn sharply when passing traPc signs
outside the camera's Neld of vision.

unction of
TraPc Sign Assist
TraPc Sign Assist detects traPc signs with the
multifunction camera ( page 182). It assists
you by displaying detected speed limits and over-
taking restrictions in the Instrument Display.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your
responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise
dangers (  page 182).
Since TraPc Sign Assist also uses the data stored
in the navigation system, it can update the display
in the following situations without detecting traPc
signs.
If the system detects that you are driving onto a
section of road in the wrong direction of travel, it
triggers a warning.
The camera also detects traPc signs with a
restriction indicated by an additional sign (e.g.
when wet). These are only displayed if a restric-
tion applies or if the system cannot clearly deter-
mine whether the restriction applies. 210

Active Blind Spot Assist may not give warnings
or intervene in such situations. 
Always pay careful attention to the tr
aPc
situation and maintain a safe distance at
the side of the vehicle. Observe the notes on driving systems and your
r
esponsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise
dangers ( page 182).
Exit warning

Spot Assist and can warn vehicle occupants about
approaching vehicles when leaving the vehicle
when stationary. &

e exit
warning
The exit warning neither reacts to stationary
objects nor t
o persons or road users
approaching you at a greatly diMering speed.
The exit warning cannot warn drivers in these
situations. 
Always pay particular attention to the
tr
aPc situation when opening the doors
and make sure there is suPcient clear-
ance. If there is a vehicle in the monitoring range, this is
indicat

ed in the outside mirror. If a vehicle occu-
pant opens the door on the side with the warning,
a warning tone sounds and the warning lamp in
the outside mirror starts to Oash.
This additional function is only available when
Blind Spot Assist is active. When the exit warning
is activated, it can warn vehicle occupants for up
to three minutes aser switching the vehicle oM.
The exit warning is no longer available once the
warning lamp in the outside mirror Oashes three
times. Driving and parking
