abo
ve the permitted speed.
Trailer mode
In vehicles with a factory-fitted towing
bracket and a trailer with an electrical con-
nection to the vehicle, the display of road
signs that may apply to the vehicle when
towing a trailer, e.g. applicable speed limits
and no-overtaking signs, can be activated or
deactivated in the vehicle settings in the In-
fotainment system

9. Seek expert assistance if necessary.
When the hazard warning lights are switched
on, f
or example if you are being towed, you
can still indicate a change in direction or lane
change by operating the turn signal. The haz-
ard warning lights will be interrupted tempo-
rarily.

towing

Depending on the equipment, the function of
interior monitoring may be impaired if a load
guard is used.
Temporarily switching off the interior moni-
toring system and anti-tow alarm
The interior monitoring system and anti-tow
alarm can be switched off temporarily in theOpening and closing submenu in the Infotainment
system

cles driving in front are detected. Main-beam
control normally also recognises illuminated
areas such as towns and deactiv
ates main
beam while driving through them.
Within the limits of the system, main-beam
control automatically switches the main
beam on or off depending on the environ-
mental and traffic conditions and on the driv-
ing speed

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

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.

WARNING
Driving without the brake servo or with re-
stricted brake serv o function can consider-
ably increase the braking distance and
cause accidents and serious injuries.
x Never deactivate the electric drive or
switch off the ignition as long as the ve-
hicle is still moving.
x If the brake servo does not function or
the vehicle is being towed, the brake
pedal will have to be depressed more
forcefully as the braking distance will be
increased due to the lack of assistance
for the brake system. Switching ESC Sport on and
off
Switching ESC Sport on and off
The ESC Sport function interv

enes later than
the normal ESC to stabilise the vehicle.
With some equipment levels, ESC Sport can
be switched on and off.

Practical equipment
Stowage areas Introduction to the topic
WARNING
Loose objects may be flung through the ve-
hicle interior in the e vent of a sudden driv-
ing or braking manoeuvre. This can cause
serious injury and can also lead to loss of
control of the vehicle.
x Stow objects only in closed stowage
compartments.
x Always keep stowage compartments
closed while the vehicle is in motion.
x The coat hooks in the vehicle should on-
ly be used for lightweight clothing
weighing max. 2.5 kg (approx. 5.5 lbs).
Never leave any heavy, hard or sharp ob-
jects in the pockets. NOTICE
x Do not stow any temperature-sensitiv
e
objects, food or medicines inside the vehi-
cle. Hot and cold temperatures could dam-
age them or render them unusable.
x Objects stored in the vehicle that are
made from transparent materials, such as
transparent suction cups on the windows,
can concentrate the sun
