

Read and observe on page 234 first.

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. 285

- . 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

located in the scanning range of the radar

» Fig. 285

- .

Other vehicles changing lanes

Vehicles that change onto the lane with a small distance

» Fig. 286

-  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. 286

- 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 234 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

» Fig. 284

on page 236.

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 on page 234 first.

If ACC is not available, the warning light  appears in the display of the instru-

ment cluster and an appropriate message is shown.

Sensor covered / dirty

If the sensor cover or the sensor is dirty or covered, a message appears on the

instrument cluster display stating there is no sensor view. Clean the sensor

cover or remove the obstacles

» Fig. 251

on page 210.

If there is no sensor view in the winter, the snow on the sensor under the cov-

er could be the reason. The ACC is functional again after the snow melts away

from the sensor.

ACC not available

If the ACC is unavailable, a message concerning the unavailability appears.

Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and then start it again. If ACC continues

to be unavailable, seek the assistance of a specialist garage.



Read and observe and on page 239 first.

Emergency braking at low speed

In the event of a risk of collision in a vehicle speed range of approximately

5 km/h to 30 km/h, the warning light appears on the display 

and

the system initiates automatic braking.

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.

When the advance warning is issued, the brake pedal must be pressed or

the moving obstacle 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 automatic brake intervention is triggered by the system, the pressure in the

brake system increases and the brake pedal cannot be operated with the nor-

mal pedal stroke.
The automatic braking interventions can be cancelled by pressing the acceler-

ator pedal or by means of a steering intervention.

Brake assist

If the driver brakes inadequate with an impending collision, the system auto-

matically increases braking force.
The braking assistance only occurs as long as the brake pedal is being firmly

pressed down.

Pedestrian recognition



Read and observe and on page 239 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.

Operation



Read and observe on page 243 first.

In critical driving situations (e.g. during emergency braking or a sudden change

in direction), the following steps can be taken separately or combined in order

to reduce the risk of serious injury.

▶

The front passenger's and driver's seatbelts, if worn, are automatically ten-

sioned closely over the body.

▶

Opened electrically powered door windows are closed automatically up to a

gap of about 5 cm from the edge.

▶

The sliding/tilting roof is closed.

Once the critical driving situation has passed, the tension on the seatbelts will

be released again.
The system operates at two levels of protection.

The first level of protection

The system already intervenes in situations that may occur during dynamic

driving. As a result, this primarily helps to keep the driver and the passenger in

the correct seated position.
The first protection level can be deactivated in one of the following ways.

▶

In the infotainment system, in menu

▶

By selecting the driving mode Sport

» page 243

▶

By selecting the driving mode Offroad

» page 213

After switching the ignition off and on, the system is activated in both levels of

protection.

The second level of protection

The system intervenes only if the situation is evaluated as critical, such as

when panic braking at high speeds.
This level of protection cannot be deactivated.

Vehicles with the Front Assist system

Using this information, a system intervention may also occur when there is the

danger of a collision with an obstacle detected in front of the vehicle.

Spurhalteassistent (Lane Assist)



Introduction

Fig. 291

Sensor for Lane Assist

The lane departure warning (following known as system) helps to keep the ve-

hicle between the boundary lines of a lane.
The system recognises the boundary lines of the lane using a sensor

» Fig. 291

When the vehicle approaches a detected line between lanes, the system

makes a light movement of the steering wheel in the opposite direction to the

boundary line. This corrective steering intervention can be manually overridden

at any time.

WARNING

■

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

systems

, Assist systems menu item.

■

Lane Assist can help you keep the vehicle within the lane. However, it

does not steer the vehicle for you. The driver retains full responsibility for

steering at all times.

■

Some objects or markings on the road can be recognised as the boundary

lines - an erroneous steering intervention may be the result.

WARNING

The system may not be able to recognise the boundary line, or recognise it

incorrectly, for example, in the following situations.

■

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

■

When driving in “sharp” bends.

■

The sensor is blinded by the sun or oncoming traffic.

■

The field of view of the sensor is limited by an obstacle or a preceding ve-

hicle.
