recognition

Adaptive cruise control on vehicles with

automatic transmission

A detected speed limit can be used as new value

for the adaptive cruise control.

For vehicles with automatic transmission, the

adaptive cruise control allows to maintain the

selected distance behind a braking vehicle until

a complete stop is reached.

Setting the following distance

When the adaptive cruise control detects a

slower moving vehicle in the driving path, it

will adjust the vehicle speed to maintain the

following distance selected by the driver.

The following distance can be set to close (1

bar), normal (2 bars) or far (3 bars).

If the engine is running and the adaptive cruise

control is switched on (grey) or active (green),

you can modify the following distance setting:

When passing the speed limit sign

With activated adaptive cruise control, OK? is

automatically displayed.

Press OK on the steering wheel to store the

suggested speed.

The suggested speed is shown as new speed

setting.

If the system has stopped your vehicle behind

another vehicle, the green control indicator

is displayed next to the set speed setting.

This symbol notifies that the vehicle is held

automatically in the stop position.

While the vehicle is held in the stop position, the

following recommendations should be followed:

After passing the speed limit sign

With activated adaptive cruise control, press OK

on the steering wheel.

Do not engage the reverse gear.

Do not drop off or pick up passengers.

Within three seconds after the vehicle has been

stopped by the system, the vehicle slowly moves

off again. After three seconds, accelerate or

Exceeding the set speed

It is always possible to drive faster than the

set speed by depressing the accelerator pedal.

When the accelerator pedal is released, the

vehicle returns to the stored speed. If a slower

moving vehicle is ahead, the following distance

Warning

Acceleration by the driver deactivates

automatic braking by the system. This is

indicated as a pop-up warning in the Driver

Information Centre.

When the system is deactivated or

cancelled, the vehicle will no longer be held

at a stop and can start moving. Be always

prepared to manually apply the brake to hold

the vehicle stationary.

Warning

The driver accepts full responsibility for

the appropriate following distance based on

traffic, weather and visibility conditions.

System limits

Warning

The system's automatic brake force does

not permit hard braking and the braking level

may not be sufficient to avoid a collision.

when approaching a roundabout

when following a vehicle not detected by

system, e.g., a motorcycle

Detecting the vehicle ahead

when the vehicle ahead sharply decelerates

when a vehicle cuts in sharply

If the system detects a vehicle in the driving

path, the adaptive cruise control screen changes

accordingly.

After a sudden lane change, the system

needs a certain time to detect the next

preceding vehicle. So if a new vehicle is

detected, the system may accelerate instead

of braking.

mode. The preset speed is illuminated grey.

The adaptive cruise control is deactivated, but

not disabled. The last stored set speed remains

in memory for later usage.

The adaptive cruise control is deactivated

automatically in the following cases:

The adaptive cruise control only considers

traffic driving in the same direction.

The adaptive cruise control does not consider

pedestrians, cyclists or animals for braking

and driving off.

Warning

The adaptive cruise control does not consider

stationary vehicles.

Do not use the adaptive cruise control on

steep hill roads.

traction control system or electronic stability

control is operating

As the radar's field of detection is quite narrow, it

is possible that the system may not detect:

reverse gear engaged, N selected or no gear

engaged

System performance on hills depends on vehicle

speed, vehicle load, traffic conditions and the

road gradient. It may not detect a vehicle in

your path while driving on hills. On steep hills,

you may have to use the accelerator pedal to

maintain your vehicle speed.

When going downhill, you may have to brake to

maintain or reduce your speed.

Note that applying the brake deactivates the

system.

Just before the imminent collision, it reduces

the vehicle's speed to avoid a collision or to

limit its severity.

The system may also react on animals.

However, animals smaller than 0.5 m or

objects on the road may not be detected.

After a sudden lane change, the system

needs a certain time to detect the next

preceding vehicle.

Radar unit

Fault

In the event of an adaptive cruise control fault,

a warning light is illuminated in the Driver

Information Centre and a warning message

is displayed in the Driver Information Centre

accompanied by an audible signal.

The speed limit recognition may not operate

correctly if traffic signs do not comply with the

Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals.

Have the system checked by a workshop.

As a safety measure, do not use the system if

the brake lights are faulty.

The driver must always be ready to take

action and apply the brakes and steer to

avoid collisions.

Do not use the system if the front bumper is

damaged.

Activating / deactivating the system

Active emergency braking is activated /

deactivated on the Info Display.

Depending on version, deactivation is only

possible at a standstill.

Collision avoidance

assistance system

The radar unit is located in the middle of the

front bumper.

If deactivated,

illuminates and a message is

Warning

shown in the Driver Information Centre.

Depending on version, the system is

automatically activated by default every time the

engine is started.

The radar unit was aligned carefully during

manufacture.

Therefore, in the event of a front-end impact,

do not use the system.

The front bumper may appear to be intact,

however the sensor behind may be affected

and react incorrectly. After an accident,

consult a workshop to verify and adjust the

radar unit position.

Active Emergency

Braking (AEB)

Active emergency braking can help to reduce the

damage and injury from crashes with vehicles

and pedestrians directly ahead, when the driver

does not actively take action either by manual

braking or by steering. For vehicles equipped

with camera and radar, active emergency

braking also detects cyclists. Before active

emergency braking is applied, the driver may be

warned by the forward collision alert.

Functionality

Depending on the vehicle configuration and the

detected objects, there are several operational

speed ranges.

Active emergency braking operates up to 80

km/h when a pedestrian has been detected.

On vehicles equipped with radar sensor and

front camera, the active emergency braking

operates up to 80 km/h when a stationary

vehicle or a cyclist has been detected.

On vehicles equipped only with front camera, the

active emergency braking operates from 5 km/h

to 85 km/h when a moving vehicle has been

detected.

Warning

The usage of a licence plate support on

the front bumper may affect the proper radar

unit functionality.

When using a license plate support, follow the

markings and indications on the front bumper

Warning

This system is not intended to replace the

driver's responsibility for driving the vehicle

and looking ahead. It warns the driver if

the vehicle is at risk of a collision with the

preceding vehicle, a pedestrian or a cyclist.

On vehicles equipped with radar sensor and

front camera, the active emergency braking

operates from 5 km/h to 140 km/h when a

moving vehicle has been detected.

The system includes:

speed. However, the driver must apply the brake

to come to a complete stop.

Selecting the alert sensitivity

NOTE:

Automatic transmission: If the vehicle comes

to a complete stop, automatic braking is

maintained for a certain time.

If the alert sensitivity setting with the longest

distance is set, the system warns earlier. This

increases the safety, but increases the amount

of alerts if the legal safety distance is not kept.

To reduce the number of alerts, select a shorter

alert sensitivity setting.

forward collision alert

smart brake assist

automatic braking

Keep the brake pedal depressed to prevent

the vehicle from starting off again.

Forward collision alert

Manual transmission: If the vehicle comes to

a complete stop, the engine may stall. Keep

the brake pedal depressed to prevent the

vehicle from rolling away.

The forward collision alert warns the driver if

there is a risk of collision with the vehicle ahead,

with a cyclist or a pedestrian.

Three alert sensitivities can be selected in the

driver assistance systems menu.

The chosen setting will be memorised when

the ignition has been switched off. The alert

sensitivity will vary based on selected alert

setting.

Cruise control will be deactivated when an

emergency automatic braking occurs.

Alerting the driver

The driver is warned by following alerts:

In some cases, the driver may wish to override

the automatic braking provided by the active

emergency braking system. Firmly apply the

accelerator pedal or firmly turn the steering

wheel to override the automatic braking if the

situation and the surroundings permit.

Level 1: A warning message is displayed

in the Driver Information Centre, when the

distance to the vehicle ahead gets too small.

Smart brake assist

If the driver brakes, but not sufficiently to avoid

a collision, this system will supplement the

braking. This assistance will only be provided if

the driver presses the brake pedal.

Smart brake assist will automatically disengage

when the brake pedal is released.

Level 2: A warning message is displayed in

the Driver Information Centre and a warning

chime sounds, when a collision is imminent

and immediate driver's action is required.

Warning

Do not rely on the system to brake the

vehicle. Active emergency braking will not

brake automatically outside of its operating

speed range.

Level 3: Depending on version, the vehicle

may produce a short brake jerk to confirm the

risk of collision. The immediate driver's action

is required.

Automatic braking

Just before the imminent collision, this function

automatically applies limited braking to reduce

the impact speed of the collision or prohibit a

crash.

Operation conditions

Warning

When approaching a vehicle ahead too

rapidly, a level 2 alert may be displayed

without a level 1 alert before.

Level 1 alerts depend on the alert sensitivity

set. This alert type is only displayed in case of

moving vehicles. At lower speed it is disabled.

Active emergency braking only works when:

If active emergency braking is applied,

flashes in the Driver Information Centre. If active

the brake system is operational

Electronic Stability Control and Traction

Control are activated

emergency braking is finished,

flashes for a

few seconds. During this time, active emergency

braking cannot be applied if there is a risk of a

further collision.

Depending on version, below a speed of 30 km/h

or 50 km/h, automatic braking may slow down

the vehicle to a complete stop. If the speed

exceeds this limit, automatic braking reduces the
