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). 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

Limits of Front Assist
Please refer to at the start of the chap-
ter on page 159.
F
ront Assist is not available or its
functions are restricted immediately
after the vehicle is started. The indi-
cator lamp lights up in the instrument
cluster display during this time.
Front Assist has physical and system-related
limitations. You should therefore always be
prepared to take full control of the vehicle if
necessary.
Delayed response
If the camera or radar sensor is exposed to
environmental conditions that impair func-
tioning, the system may detect this only after
a certain delay. For this reason, any restric-
tions to functions may be displayed only after
a delay at the start of the journey and when
driving
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.

Vehicles with special auxiliary equipment or
body parts
Auxiliary equipment and second stage manu-
facturers must ensure that the equipment
and bodies (conversions) adhere to the stipu-
lated environmental laws and regulations,
particularly the EU directive 2000/53/EC con-
cerning end-of-life vehicles and EU directive
2003/11/EC concerning the restriction on the
marketing and use of certain dangerous sub-
stances and preparations.
The vehicle owner must keep all assembly
documentation for these conversions and
pass it on to the scrapping company upon ve-
hicle handover if the vehicle is scrapped. This
is intended to facilitate environmentally re-
sponsible disposal for all vehicles, including
refitted vehicles.
Windscreen repairs
To function properly, some items of equip-
ment require an electrical or electronic mod-
ule, which is located on the inside of the
windscreen near the interior mirror. If the
windscreen has been damaged in the viewing
field of the electrical or electronic module,
e.g. by stone impact, the windscreen must be
replaced. Repairing the crack can lead to mal-
function or functional faults in the equip-
ment. After changing the windscreen, the camera
and sensors must be adjusted and calibrated
by a qualified workshop.
Impairment or damage to sensors and cam-
eras
Incorrectly perf
ormed repairs, structural
changes to the vehicle, e.g. lowering the sus-
pension, retrofitted add-on parts or changes
to the trim can lead to sensors and cameras
being displaced or damaged. This can also be
caused by collisions when parking, or also
even by minor damage such as stone impacts
on the windscreen.
The area in front of and around the sensors
and cameras must not be covered by stickers,
additional headlights, trim frames for number
plates or similar. Observe the position of sen-
sors and cameras on the vehicle
