Vehicle features and options Speed Limit Info  
This chapter describes model-specific equip-  
ment, systems, and functions that are currently  
Speed Limit Info  
available, or may become available in the fu-  
ture, even if they are not present in the vehicle.  
Principle  
Speed Limit Info shows the currently valid  
speed limit in the instrument cluster and, if  
necessary, the Head-up display.  
Additional information:  
Vehicle equipment, refer to page 8.  
General information  
The camera in the area of the interior mirror  
detects traffic signs at the edge of the road as  
well as overhead sign posts.  
Speed warning  
Principle  
The speed warning can be used to set a speed  
limit. A warning will be issued when this speed  
limit is exceeded.  
Traffic signs with extra icons are considered  
and compared with the vehicle's onboard data.  
The traffic sign will then be either displayed  
or ignored depending on the situation in the  
instrument cluster and the Head-up display.  
General information  
The system may also show speed limits that  
apply to routes that are not signposted if the  
navigation system has current map data.  
Another speed warning is given when the set  
speed limit is exceeded again after it has drop-  
ped by 3 mph/5 km/h.  
For Speed Limit Info to function correctly, cur-  
rent map data for the country in which the ve-  
hicle is operated must be downloaded.  
Settings  
The Speed Limit Warning can be activated or  
deactivated. In addition, the speed limit for the  
warning can be configured.  
For information on the current map version  
and map updates, see Map update in the Nav-  
igation system chapter.  
1.  
Apps menu  
Without map data, the system is subject to  
certain technical limitations. Traffic signs with  
speed limitations are detected and displayed  
only. Speed limits due to entering towns/cities,  
highway signs, etc., are not displayed. Speed  
limits with extra traffic signs are always dis-  
played.

display of speed limits.  
Warning signals  
Depending on the settings, an acoustic signal  
sounds if the detected speed limit is exceeded  
or the speed limit changes. The display also  
flashes if the detected speed limit is exceeded.  
Additional information:  
Owner's Manual for Navigation, Entertain-  
ment, and Communication, refer to page 6.  
Trailer towing, refer to page 334.  
Settings  
Individual settings can be configured for Speed  
Limit Info, e.g., warnings issued if the speed is  
exceeded or the permissible maximum speed  
changes.  
Safety information  
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.

Cruise Control  
Principle  
Warning  
With the Cruise Control, a set speed can be ad-  
justed using the buttons on the steering wheel.  
The system maintains the set speed. The sys-  
tem accelerates and brakes automatically as  
needed.  
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  
General information  
The system can be activated starting at  
20 mph/30 km/h.  
Depending on the vehicle setting, the Cruise  
Control settings can change under certain  
conditions. For instance, the acceleration can  
change depending on the driving mode.

Distance control  
Warning  
An unsecured vehicle can begin to move and  
possibly roll away. There is a risk of accident,  
injury, or property damage. Before leaving  
the vehicle, secure the vehicle against rolling  
away.  
Principle  
With the distance control, a distance to a vehi-  
cle driving ahead can be adjusted in addition to  
the Cruise Control.  
In order to ensure that the vehicle is secured  
against rolling away, follow the following:  
General information  
The system maintains the set speed on clear  
roads. The vehicle accelerates or brakes auto-  
matically.  
Set the parking brake.  
On uphill grades or on downhill slopes,  
turn the front wheels in the direction of  
the curb.  
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.  
On uphill grades or on downhill slopes,  
also secure the vehicle, for instance with  
a wheel chock.  
The distance can be adjusted at several levels.  
For safety reasons, it depends on the respec-  
tive speed.  
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  
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.  
Otherwise, drive off independently such as by  
stepping on the accelerator pedal or by press-  
ing the button for the speed setting on the  
steering wheel.  
Warning  
Risk of accident is greater when there is a  
high speed differential to other vehicles, for  
instance in the following situations:

Driver assistance systems  
CONTROLS  
Merging vehicles  
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  
speed independently.  
If a vehicle driving ahead of you suddenly  
merges into your lane, the system may not be  
able to automatically restore the selected dis-  
tance. It may not be possible to restore the se-  
lected distance in certain situations, including if  
you are driving significantly faster than vehicles  
driving ahead of you, for instance when rapidly  
approaching a truck. When a vehicle driving  
ahead of you is reliably detected, the system  
requests that the driver intervene by braking  
and making an evasive maneuver, if needed.  
Driving off  
In some situations, the vehicle cannot drive off  
automatically; for example:  
On steep uphill grades.  
In front of bumps in the road.  
With a heavy trailer.  
Cornering  
In these cases, step on the accelerator pedal.  
Weather  
The following restrictions can occur under un-  
favorable weather or light conditions:  
Poorer vehicle detection.  
Short-term interruptions for vehicles that  
are already recognized.  
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.  
Drive attentively, and react to the current sur-  
rounding traffic situation. If necessary, inter-  
vene actively, for instance by braking, steering  
or making an evasive maneuver.  
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.  
Drive power  
The set speed is also maintained downhill. The  
speed may not be maintained on uphill grades  
if the drive power is insufficient.  
Depending on the driving mode, the vehicle  
may exceed or drop below the set desired
