sounds if the detected speed limit is exceeded  
or the speed limit changes. The display also  
flashes if the detected speed limit is exceeded.  
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 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.

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.

Detection range  
Cornering  
The detection capability of the system and the  
automatic braking performance are limited.  
For instance, two-wheeled vehicles may not be  
detected.  
When the set speed is too high for a curve,  
the speed is reduced slightly. Because curves  
may not be anticipated in advance, drive into a  
curve at an appropriate speed.  
Deceleration  
The system does not decelerate in the follow-  
ing situations:  
The system has a limited detection range. Sit-  
uations can arise in tight curves where a vehi-  
cle driving ahead will not be detected or will be  
detected very late.  
For pedestrians or similarly slow-moving  
road users.  
Depending on the vehicle equipment and  
national availability, for red traffic lights.

this new speed value can be applied for the  
following systems:  
Manual Speed Limiter.  
Cruise control.  
Active Cruise Control with Distance Control.  
When you approach a curve the system may  
briefly report vehicles in the next lane due  
to the bend of the curve. If the system decel-  
erates you may compensate for it by briefly  
accelerating. After releasing the accelerator  
pedal the system is reactivated and controls
