Hill Descent Control
When Hill Descent Control is active, the indicator lamp lights up white.
When Hill Descent Control is not active, the indicator lamp lights up grey. The system is
switched on, but is not regulating.
The Hill Descent Control system automatically brakes all four wheels to limit the speed when driving
forwards and reversing on steep downhill gradients. The wheels will not lock as the anti-lock brake
system remains active. In vehicles with a manual gearbox, Hill Descent Control adjusts the target
speed so that the engine speed does not drop below the idling speed.

accelerator pedal and the brakes to alter the speed in this range. The control speed will be set
again as soon as the driver takes their foot off the accelerator or brake pedal.
However, this can work only if the tyres have sufficient grip on the road. Hill Descent Control
cannot work on an icy or slippery slope, for example.
Hill Descent Control is automatically activated if the following conditions are met:
•The engine is running.
•The Off-road driving profile is selected ⇒ Driving profile selection and 4MOTION Active 
Control.
•The speed is under 30 km/h (18 mphyfWKH function display is visible on the instrument
cluster displayyf.
•The downhill gradient is at least 10 yb.
•You do not brake or accelerate.
The Hill Descent Control function will be deactivated when the downhill gradient is less than 5 yb.
The intelligent downhill speed control technology cannot overcome the laws of physics,
and functions only within the limits of the system. Never allow the extra convenience
afforded by pull-away assist systems to tempt you into taking any risks when driving.
•Unintentional vehicle movements can cause serious injury.
•The downhill speed control cannot replace the full concentration of the driver.
•Always adapt your speed and driving style to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions.
•Downhill speed control cannot hold the vehicle in all hill start situations or brake it
sufficiently on all slopes going downhill (e.g. if the ground is slippery or icyyf.
WARNING
Always be prepared to brake the vehicle. Accidents and injuries could occur if this is not
ensured.
•The downhill speed control is only a support function and may not be able to brake the
vehicle sufficiently in all situations when driving downhill.
•The vehicle may become faster despite the downhill speed control being in operation.

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Special driving situations
⇒ System limits
⇒ Switching ACC on and off
⇒ Setting ACC
⇒ Troubleshooting
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACCyf
maintains a constant speed that you
have set. When your vehicle
approaches a vehicle that is driving in
front, ACC automatically adapts the
speed to maintain the distance that you
have set.
Driving with ACC
You can override control by ACC at any time. Control will be interrupted if you brake. If you
accelerate, control will be interrupted while you are accelerating and then resumed.
Control by ACC is less dynamic when towing a trailer ⇒. ACC will not perform control if the brake
lights of the trailer are defective.
Brake request
If automatic deceleration by ACC is not sufficient, ACC will request you to brake additionally by a
corresponding message on the instrument cluster. The red warning lamp lights up. An
acoustic warning is also given. Brake immediately.

Speed range
ACC controls the vehicle in the speed range between 30 km/h (20 mphyfDQGNPKPSK\f
or 210 km/h (130 mphyf7KLVVSHHGUDQJHPD\GLIIHULQFHUWDLQPDUNHWV.
Radar sensor
ACC detects driving situations by means of the radar sensor at the front of the vehicle ⇒ Front 
view. The range of the radar sensor is up to approximately 120 m.
Does the vehicle have ACC?
The vehicle is equipped with ACC if you can make settings for ACC in the vehicle settings of the
Infotainment system ⇒ Vehicle settings menu.
If the vehicle has ACC, the cruise control system is not available as an independent system.

reduce the distance from the vehicle in front. Your set speed will not be exceeded.
If ACC does not detect any vehicle in front after you have changed lane, ACC will accelerate the
vehicle up to the set speed.
Stop-and-go traffic
ACC can brake vehicles with DSG dual clutch gearbox to a standstill and hold them stationary.
ACC remains active and the instrument cluster display shows ACC ready for a few seconds.
During this time the vehicle will move off again automatically as soon as the vehicle in front moves
off (depending on the vehicle equipment level and not available in all countriesyf.
•Press the button.
•Press the button or briefly press the accelerator.
The intelligent technology used in the ACC cannot overcome the laws of physics, and
functions only within the limits of the system. Never let the extra convenience tempt you
into taking safety risks when driving. Careless or unintentional use of the Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACCyfFDQFDXVHDFFLGHQWVDQGOHDGWRVHULRXVLQMXU\7KHV\VWHPLVQRWD
substitute for the full concentration of the driver.
•Adapt your speed and distance from the vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road
and traffic conditions.
•Do not use the ACC in poor visibility, on steep or winding roads, on slippery road
surfaces, e.g. on snow, ice, wet roads, loose chippings, or on flooded roads.
•Never use ACC off-road or on non-surfaced roads. The ACC is designed for use on
surfaced roads only.
•ACC does not respond to stationary vehicles.
•The ACC does not react to persons, animals or vehicles crossing or approaching in the
same lane.
•Brake immediately if speed reduction by ACC is not sufficient.
•Brake immediately if a request to brake appears on the instrument cluster display.
•Brake if the vehicle starts rolling unintentionally after a request to brake.
•Be prepared to control the speed yourself at all times.
WARNING
®

If a stationary vehicle is hidden behind a vehicle that has been detected by the adaptive cruise
control and this vehicle turns off the road or changes lane, the ACC will not react to the stationary
vehicle ⇒ Fig. 144.
Bends
The radar sensor always measures straight ahead. For this reason, vehicles may be incorrectly
detected or vehicles driving ahead not detected in tight bends ⇒ Fig. 143.
Vehicles outside the sensor range
•Vehicles that are driving outside the sensor range in close proximity to your vehicle, e.g.
motorbikes ⇒ Fig. 143.
•Vehicles that change into your lane directly in front of your vehicle ⇒ Fig. 144.
•Vehicles with bodies or attachments that project beyond the vehicle.

Troubleshooting
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
If you do not maintain the minimum distance to a vehicle in front and the difference in
speed between the vehicle in front and your own vehicle is so great that the braking action
of the ACC is insufficient, you are in danger of colliding with the vehicle in front. The
braking distance is also longer in rain and winter road conditions.
•The Adaptive Cruise Control may not be able to detect all driving situations correctly.
•Always be prepared to brake the vehicle yourself.
•Speed and distance control are overridden when you press the accelerator. ACC does
not brake automatically in this case.
•Observe any country-specific regulations relating to the minimum distance.
•Always set a larger distance in wet or snowy conditions or when visibility is poor.
