The active differential step-
lessly locks the rear axle
depending on the driving condi-
tions. This provides optimal
power transfer in all driving con-
ditions by helping prevent wheel
spin at either rear wheel.
The driver is responsible adapt-
ing his or her driving style to the
situation. This chapter describes all stan-
dard, country-specific and
optional features offered with
the series. It also describes fea-
tures and functions that are not
necessarily available in your
vehicle, e.g., due to the selected
options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related
functions and systems. When
using these functions and sys-
tems, the applicable laws and
regulations must be observed.
Speed Limit Info shows the cur-
rent valid maximum speed in the
instrument cluster and the
Head-up Display.
The camera in the area of the
interior mirror detects traffic
signs at the edge of the road as
well as variable overhead sign
posts.

The traffic sign will then be
either displayed or ignored
depending on the situation in the
instrument cluster and the

The system takes into account
any information that is stored in
the navigation system and also
displays speed limits present on
routes without signs.
The system is controlled by the
following sensors:
• Cameras behind the wind-shield.
Additional information:
Sensors of the vehicle, refer to
page 42. Depending on the vehicle equip-

WARNING
The system cannot serve as a
substitute for the driver’s personal
judgment in assessing the traffic
situation. Based on the limits of
the system, it cannot inde-
pendently react to all traffic situa-
tions. There is a
risk of accident.
Adjust driving style to traffic condi-
tions. Watch the surrounding traf-
fic situation closely, be ready to
take over steering and braking at
any time, and actively intervene
where appropriate.

The system may not be fully
functional and may provide
incorrect information in the fol-
lowing situations:
When signs are fully or par-
tially concealed by objects,
stickers or paint.
When driving very close to the
vehicle in front of you.
If the speed limits or road data
stored in the navigation sys-
tem are incorrect.
If the speed limits vary with
the time of day and the day of
the week.
In areas not covered by the
navigation system.
When roads differ from the
navigation, such as due to
changes in road routing.
In case of electronic traffic
signs.
When passing buses or trucks
with traffic signs applied to
them.
If the traffic signs are
non-conforming.
When signs that are valid for

The speed can also be stored
by pressing a button.
Press the rocker switch up or
down repeatedly until the
desired speed is set.
If active, the displayed speed is
stored and the vehicle reaches
the stored speed when the road
is clear.
Each time the rocker switch is
pressed to the resistance
point, the desired speed
increases or decreases by 1
mph/1 km/h.
Each time the rocker switch is
pressed past the resistance
point, the desired speed
changes by a maximum of 5
mph/10 km/h.
The maximum speed that can be
set depends on the vehicle.
Pressing the rocker switch to
the resistance point and hold- ing it accelerates or deceler-
ates the vehicle without
requiring pressure on the
accelerator pedal.
After the rocker swi
tch is released,
the vehicle main tains its final
speed. Pressing the switch beyond
the resistance point causes the
vehicle to accelerate more rapidly.
An interrupted cruise control can
be continued by calling up the
stored speed.
Make sure that the difference
between current speed and
stored speed is not too large
before calling up the stored
speed. Otherwise, unintentional
braking or accelerating may
occur.
Cruise control is continued with
the stored values.
In the following cases, the
stored speed value is deleted
and cannot be called up again:
When the system is switched
off.
When drive-ready state is
switched off.

Using this system, a desired
speed and a distance to a vehi-
cle ahead can be adjusted using
the buttons on the steering
wheel.
The system maintains the
desired speed on clear roads.
For this purpose, the vehicle
accelerates or brakes automati-
cally.
If a vehicle is driving ahead of
you, the system adjusts the
speed of your vehicle so that the
set distance to the vehicle
ahead is maintained. The speed
is adjusted as far as the given
situation allows.
Depending on the vehicle set-
tings, the characteristics of the
Cruise Control may change.
The distance can be adjusted in
several steps. For safety rea-
sons, it depends on the respec-
tive speed.

brakes to a halt, and then pro-
ceeds to drive again within a
brief period, the system is able
