on page 239 or by a steering intervention.

■

The system is not oriented to the area around the vehicle, there is no ob-

stacle detection.

■

During manoeuvring, always observe the movement of the trailer and if

necessary cancel the manoeuvring autonomously to prevent accidents or

damage to the vehicle and the trailer.

■

During the parking process, the system automatically performs rapid

steering movements. While it is doing so, do not place your hands between

the steering wheel – risk of injury!

■

During a parking manoeuvre on loose or slippery surfaces (gravel, snow,

ice, etc.) you may stray from the calculated road. Therefore, use the system

with extreme caution in such situations.

CAUTION

■

The trailer position is evaluated by the rear camera based on the bending an-

gle of the drawbar and the steering movement carried out by the system. For

this reason, the drawbar must not be obstructed by external influences.

■

The rear camera lens must not be contaminated, otherwise the system may

be unavailable or the system function my be significantly impaired.

Note

■

We recommend performing the parking at a safe speed to about 5 km/h.

■

The parking process can be terminated at any time by pressing the button 

» Fig. 293

■

The correct system function can only be ensured if a one- or two-axle trailer

is hitched without steered axle.

Read and observe and on page 239 first.

The trailer position is detected by the system based on the information of the

rear camera. Trailer is steered in the direction set by the driver using steering

wheel movements.

Conditions for the system function

The engine is running.
The system is activated.
The parking aid is activated.
The driver's door and the boot lid are fully closed.
The trailer is plugged into the trailer socket.
The trailer is not veering too much.

Determining the drawbar length

The system must know the drawbar length in order that the driver is offered

the maximum possible setting angle with respect to the target position of the

trailer.
The system needs some turning manoeuvres or cornering with a hitched trailer

in order to determine the drawbar length.

Introduction

The Cruise Control System (CCS) maintains a set speed without you having to

actuate the accelerator pedal. The state where the CCS maintains the speed is

referred to hereinafter as the control.

WARNING

■

Please take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance

systems

■

After pressing the clutch pedal, no interrupted control occurs! For exam-

ple, if a different gear is engaged and the clutch pedal is released, control is

continued.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)



Introduction

The Adaptive Cruise Control (hereinafter referred to as ACC) maintains the set

speed and at the same time the distance to the vehicle ahead without the ac-

celerator or brake pedal being pressed.
The front of the vehicle and the distance to the vehicle ahead is monitored by

a radar sensor

» page 216

The state in which the ACC maintains the speed or the proximity is described

as control from here on.

WARNING

■

Please take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance

systems

■

The driver must always be ready to take over the operation of the accel-

erator and brake pedal.

■

The ACC does not react when approaching a stationary obstacle, such as

traffic jams, vehicle breakdowns or vehicles waiting at a traffic light.

■

The ACC does not respond to crossing or oncoming objects.

■

If the ACC does not decelerate fast enough, immediately apply the vehi-

cle's foot brake.

WARNING

For safety reasons, do not use the ACC under the following conditions.

■

When driving in turning lanes, motorway exits or construction sites, to

avoid an unwanted acceleration to the stored speed.

■

When visibility is poor, (e.g. fog, heavy rain, thick snowfall).

■

When road conditions are poor (e.g. ice, slippery road, gravel, dirt road).

■

Driving in “sharp” corners or in steep gradients / on steep inclines.

■

When driving through places where metal objects (such as metal build-

ings, railway tracks, etc.) can be found.

■

When driving through very divided and enclosed spaces (such as large-

capacity garages, car ferries, tunnels and the like.).

Note

■

The ACC is designed primarily for use on motorways.

■

The ACC reduces the speed by automatically releasing the accelerator or by

means of a braking procedure as appropriate. If the brakes are used for an au-

tomatic speed reduction at any moments, then the brake light illuminates.

■

In case of failure of more than one brake light on the vehicle or on the con-

nected trailer, the ACC becomes unavailable.

■

The control automatically cancels the engagement of the brake supportive

assistance systems (e.g. ESC) or when the maximum permitted engine speed is

exceeded.

Note to reduce speed

If the delay of the ACC is insufficient in relation to the vehicle in front, the

warning light



lights up in the instrument cluster and the display shows a

message to engage the brake pedal.

Regulation according to the vehicle in the adjacent lane

During regulation your vehicle may be regulated according to the vehicle in the

adjacent lane.
This could occur at speeds above about 80 km/h when your vehicle is moving

faster than the vehicle in the adjacent lane on the driver's side. The display

shows the detected vehicle is in the adjacent lane.

Note

Some ACC notifications in the display of the instrument cluster may be hidden

by notifications for other functions. An ACC notification automatically appears

for a brief moment when there is a change in status of the ACC.

Automatic stopping and starting



Read and observe on page 244 first.

Vehicles with an automatic transmission can decelerate to a standstill and

start moving again using the ACC.

Decelerate to a standstill

If a vehicle ahead decelerates to a standstill, the ACC will also decelerate your

vehicle to a standstill.

Starting to drive again after a holding period

As soon as the vehicle ahead starts moving again after a holding period, your

vehicle will also move and the speed will continue to be regulated.

The following (and similar) situations require special attention and possibly the

intervention of the driver (braking, accelerating etc.).

When cornering

When driving into or driving out of long corners, it could be that a vehicle is

travelling in the adjacent lane and is scanned by the radar

» Fig. 304

- . The

host vehicle is then controlled according to this vehicle.

Narrow vehicles or vehicles travelling side by side

A narrow or offset vehicle driving can only be recognized by the ACC if this is

Other vehicles changing lanes

Vehicles that change onto the lane with a small distance

» Fig. 305

-  may not

be detected by ACC in good time.

Stationary vehicles

The ACC does not detect stationary objects! When a vehicle detected by the

ACC turns or sheers off and there is a stationary vehicle in front of this vehicle,

» Fig. 305

- the ACC does not respond to the stationary vehicle.

Vehicles with special load or special body parts

Other vehicles with a load or with body parts protruding from the sides, back

or top of the vehicle contour may not be detected by the ACC.

Overtaking and towing



Read and observe on page 244 first.

When overtaking

When your vehicle is being controlled at a speed that is lower than the set

speed and the turn signal is operated, ACC assesses this situation as meaning

that the driver wishes to overtake. The ACC automatically accelerates the ve-

hicle, thereby reducing the proximity to a vehicle ahead.
If your vehicle changes to the overtaking lane and no vehicle is detected

ahead, ACC accelerates until the set speed is reached and then keeps it con-

stant.
Acceleration can be cancelled at any time by touch on the brake pedal or

pressing the button  on the lever

on page 246.

Towing a trailer

When towing, or if another accessory is connected to the trailer socket, ACC

control is set with a lower rate. The manner of driving should therefore be

adapted to this limitation.

Malfunctions



Read and observe and on page 249 first.

Emergency braking at low speed

If there is a risk of collision in a vehicle speed range of about 5 km/h to 50

km/h, the system triggers an automatic braking.
With automatic braking, the warning light appears in the display 

Advance warning

If the system detects a risk of collision, the warning light appears on the dis-

play 

and an audible signal is emitted.

The pre-warning display can occur in the following situations.

▶

If there is a risk of collision with a moving obstacle in a speed range of ap-

proximately 30 km/h to 210 km/h.

▶

If there is a risk of collision with a stationary obstacle in a speed range of ap-

proximately 30 km/h to 80 km/h.

With a warning the brake pedal must be pressed or the moving obstacle is

to be avoided!

Immediate warning and automatic braking - a moving obstacle

If the driver does not react to the advance warning when in danger of a colli-

sion with a moving obstacle, the system briefly applies the brake automatically

via an active brake intervention to draw attention to the potential danger of a

collision again.
If the driver does not respond to acute warning, the system begins to auto-

matically brake the vehicle.

Automatic braking - a stationary obstacle

If the driver does not respond to the advance warning of the risk of a collision

with a stationary obstacle in a speed range of approximately 30 km/h to 60

km/h, the system initiates automatic braking.

Information on automatic braking

If an automatic brake intervention is triggered by the system, the pressure in

the brake system increases and the brake pedal cannot be operated with the

Read and observe and on page 249 first.

The pedestrian recognition can help to prevent accidents with crossing pedes-

trians or to mitigate the consequences of an accident.
The system warns of an imminent collision, prepares the vehicle for an emer-

gency braking, supports during braking or performs an automatic braking.

Emergency braking at low speed

If there is a risk of collision in a vehicle speed range of about 5 km/h to

30 km/h, the system triggers an automatic braking.
With automatic braking, the warning light appears in the display 

Advance warning and automatic braking

If the system detects a risk of collision in a vehicle speed range of 30 km / h to

65 km / h, the warning light appears on the display 

Malfunctions



Read and observe and on page 249 first.

If the system is not available, an appropriate message appears in the display of

the instrument cluster.

Sensor covered / dirty
