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 independently react to
all traffic situations. There is a risk of acci-
dent, injury, and property damage. Adjust
driving style to traffic conditions. Watch the
surrounding traffic situation closely, be ready
to take over steering and braking at any time,
and actively intervene where appropriate.
System limits
Do not use Cruise Control when towing.
Active Cruise Control with
Distance Control
Principle
Warning
Using the Cruise Control, a desired speed and
a distance to a vehicle ahead can be adjusted
using the buttons on the steering wheel.
An unsecured vehicle can begin to move and
possibly roll away. There is a risk of accident,
injury, and property damage. Before leaving
the vehicle, secure the vehicle against rolling
away.
General information
The system maintains the set speed on clear
roads. The vehicle accelerates or brakes auto-
matically.
In order to ensure that the vehicle is secured
against rolling away, follow the following:
▷
▷
Set the parking brake.
If a vehicle is driving ahead of you, the system
adjusts the speed of the vehicle so that the set
distance to the vehicle ahead is maintained.
The speed is adjusted as far as the given sit-
uation allows.
Automatic transmission: Make sure that
selector lever position P is engaged.
▷
▷
On uphill grades or on downhill slopes,
turn the front wheels in the direction of
the curb.
The distance can be adjusted at several levels.
For safety reasons, it depends on the respec-
tive speed.
On uphill grades or on downhill slopes,
also secure the vehicle, for instance with
a wheel chock.
If the vehicle ahead of you brakes to a stand-
still and then drives off again within a brief pe-
riod, the system is able to detect this within the
given system limits.
Warning
The set speed can be incorrectly adjusted or
called up by mistake. There is a risk of acci-
dent, injury, and property damage. Adjust the
set speed to the traffic conditions. Watch sur-
rounding traffic closely and actively intervene
where appropriate
Otherwise, drive off on your own such as by
pressing the accelerator pedal or the rocker
switch on the steering wheel.
Depending on the vehicle settings, the cruise
control settings may change under certain
conditions.
