Speed Limit Info  
This chapter describes model-specific  
equipment, systems, and functions that are  
currently available, or may become available  
in the future, even if they are not present in  
the vehicle.  
Speed Limit Info  
Principle  
Speed Limit Info uses a camera near the  
interior rearview mirror to detect road signs  
at the edge of the road as well as overhead  
sign posts.  
Additional information:  
Vehicle equipment, refer to page 8.  
Speed Limit Info shows the current speed  
limit on the Interaction Unit and, where ap-  
plicable, Head-up display.  
Speed warning  
Speed Limit Info may also show speed limits  
that apply to routes that are not signposted  
if the navigation system has current map  
data.  
Principle  
The speed warning can be used to set a  
speed limit. A warning will be issued when  
this speed limit is exceeded.  
General information  
Traffic signs with extra icons are consid-  
ered and compared with the vehicle's on-  
board data. Depending on the situation, traf-  
fic signs can either be displayed or ignored  
on the Interaction Unit and, where applica-  
ble, Head-up display.  
General information  
Another speed warning is given when the  
set speed limit is exceeded again after it has  
dropped by 3 mph/5 km/h.  
Settings  
For Speed Limit Info to function correctly,  
current map data for the country in which  
the vehicle is operated must be downloaded.  
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  
Navigation system chapter.  
1. To configure the settings, go through  
the menu as follows: Apps menu /  
"Vehicle" / "Driving settings" / "Driver  
Assistance" / "Safety and warnings" /  
"Speed warning".  
Without map data, the system is subject to  
certain technical limitations. Traffic signs  
with speed limitations are detected and dis-  
played only. Speed limits due to entering  
towns/cities, highway signs, etc., are not  
displayed. Speed limits with extra traffic  
signs are always displayed.  
2. Select the desired setting.

Warning  
Individual settings can be configured for  
Speed Limit Info, e.g., warnings issued if  
the speed is exceeded or the permissible  
maximum speed changes.  
The system cannot serve as a substitute  
for the driver’s personal judgment in as-  
sessing the traffic situation. Based on the  
limits of the system, it cannot independ-  
ently react to all traffic situations. There  
is a risk of accident, injury, or property  
damage. Adjust driving style to traffic con-  
ditions. Watch the surrounding traffic sit-  
uation closely, be ready to take over steer-  
ing and braking at any time, and actively  
intervene where appropriate.

With the distance control, a distance to a  
vehicle driving ahead can be adjusted in  
addition to the Cruise Control.  
The speed set for the speed  
control system is shown below  
the speedometer. The color in-

The distance can be adjusted at several lev-  
els. For safety reasons, it depends on the  
respective speed.

–
The speed value illuminates gray when  
the system is interrupted.  
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 situation allows.  
If no value is displayed, the system  
turns off.  
Indicator light  
Distance Control is operated using the but-  
tons on the left of the steering wheel. The  
distance is set using the Interaction Unit.  
The cruise control status is also  
given by the indicator light on the  
Interaction Unit. The indicator light  
illuminates green when the system is acti-  
vated.  
Distance Control information is shown on  
the Interaction Unit.  
General information  
Displays in the Head-up display  
Depending on vehicle equipment, some  
speed control system information can also  
be displayed on the Head-up display.  
If the preceding vehicle brakes to a stand-  
still and drives off again shortly afterward,  
Distance Control is capable of detecting this  
as far as given conditions allow.  
Otherwise, drive off independently such as  
by stepping on the accelerator pedal or by  
pressing the button for the speed setting on  
the steering wheel.  
System limits  
Depending on the drive mode or drive  
power, the vehicle may exceed or drop be-  
low the set desired speed in some situa-  
tions, e.g., when driving uphill or downhill.  
Safety information  
Do not use Cruise Control when towing.  
Warning  
The system cannot serve as a substitute  
for the driver’s personal judgment in as-  
sessing the traffic situation. Based on the  
limits of the system, it cannot independ-  
ently react to all traffic situations. There

CONTROLS  
Driving off  
When a vehicle has been detected ahead  
of you, the system requests that the driver  
intervene by braking and making an evasive  
maneuver, if needed.  
Your vehicle cannot drive off automatically  
using Distance Control in the following sit-  
uations, 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  
Under unfavorable weather or light condi-  
tions, Distance Control may be limited in  
the following ways:  
–
–
Poorer vehicle detection.  
Short-term interruptions for vehicles  
that are already recognized.  
When Distance Control is on, if your set  
speed is too high for a bend, your vehicle  
will be slowed slightly in the bend. Because  
curves may not be anticipated in advance,  
drive into a curve at an appropriate speed.  
Drive attentively, and react to the current  
surrounding traffic situation. If necessary,  
intervene actively, for instance by braking,  
steering or making an evasive maneuver.  
Distance Control has a limited detection  
range. Situations can arise in tight curves  
where a vehicle driving ahead will not be  
detected or will be detected very late.  
Drive power  
Depending on the drive mode or drive  
power, the vehicle may exceed or drop be-  
low the set desired speed in some situa-  
tions, e.g., when driving uphill or downhill.  
Assisted Driving Mode  
Principle  
Assisted Driving Mode enhances Distance  
Control with Steering Assistance and lane  
keeping. The system assists the driver in  
keeping the vehicle within the lane. For  
this purpose, the system executes support-  
ing steering movements, for instance when  
cornering.  
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  
decelerates you may compensate for it by  
briefly accelerating. After releasing the ac-  
celerator pedal the system is reactivated  
and controls speed independently.  
Assisted Driving Mode is operated using  
the buttons on the steering wheel.
