The adaptive cruise control is an  
enhancement to the conventional  
cruise control with the additional  
feature of maintaining a certain  
following distance to the vehicle  
ahead. It uses radar and camera  
sensors to detect the vehicles ahead.  
If no vehicle is detected in the driving  
path, the adaptive cruise control will  
behave like a conventional cruise  
control.  
If the driver operates the turn lights to  
overtake a slower vehicle, the  
adaptive cruise control allows the  
vehicle to temporarily approach the  
vehicle ahead to help passing it.

The system may not detect  
pedestrians, including children, if  
the pedestrian is not directly  
ahead, not fully visible, or not  
standing upright.  
Front pedestrian protection may help  
to avoid or reduce the harm caused  
by front-end crashes with pedestrians  
when driving forward.  
The system uses the front camera in  
the windscreen and a radar unit in the  
front bumper to detect a pedestrian  
directly ahead in your path.  
Front pedestrian protection can  
detect and alert to pedestrians in a  
forward gear at speeds between  
5 km/h and 60 km/h. Additionally front  
pedestrian protection can provide a

9 Warning  
The driver bears full responsibility  
for the parking manoeuvre.  
Always check the surrounding  
area when driving backwards or  
forwards while using parking  
assist system.  
Front-rear parking assist  
The front-rear parking assist  
measures the distance between the  
vehicle and obstacles in front and  
behind the vehicle. It informs and  
warns the driver by giving audible  
signals and display indication.  
The system operates with ultrasonic  
parking sensors in the rear and front  
bumper.  
Activation  
Depending on version the system is  
ready to operate when the LED in the  
parking assist button e is not  
illuminated. The state of the system is  
memorised when the ignition is  
switched off.  
When a forward gear has been  
engaged, the front parking assist is  
triggered, as soon as an obstacle is  
detected in the front and the speed of  
the vehicle is below 10 km/h.  
It uses two different audible signals  
for the front and rear monitoring  
areas, each with a different tone  
frequency.  
When the reverse gear has been  
engaged, the front parking assist is  
triggered additionally to the rear  
parking assist.  
After engaging the reverse gear, an  
audible signal is given from the rear  
speakers and a display indication will

deactivated manually, the LED in the  
button illuminates. If the system has  
been deactivated manually, it is not  
reactivated automatically the next  
time the ignition is switched on.  
System limitations  
In the event of a fault or if the system  
does not work temporarily, e.g.  
because of high external noise level  
or other interference factors, C  
illuminates in the Driver Information  
Centre. A message is displayed in the  
Driver Information Centre and a  
warning chime sounds.  
Indication  
As soon as an obstacle gets closer to  
the vehicle, an audible signal is given  
and the symbol 1 may flash. The  
interval between the sounds  
becomes shorter as the vehicle gets  
closer to that obstacle. When the  
distance is less than approx. 30 cm,  
the sound is continuous.  
In the case of a permanent fault, seek  
the assistance of a workshop.  
9 Warning  
Audible signals are given via front or  
rear loudspeakers depending on  
which detected obstacle is nearest to  
the vehicle.  
If the vehicle stops for more than  
three seconds, if the automatic  
transmission is in P position, or if no  
further obstacles are detected, no  
audible signals are given.  
Additionally, the distance to rear and  
front obstacles is displayed by  
changing distance lines in the Info  
Display 3 87.  
Under certain circumstances,  
various reflective surfaces on  
objects or clothing as well as  
external noise sources may cause  
the system to fail to detect  
obstacles.  
Special attention must be paid to  
low obstacles which can damage  
the lower part of the bumper.

edges, as well as the lane markings  
between which the vehicle is driving.  
If the vehicle approaches a road edge  
or a lane marking, the steering wheel  
is gently turned so that the vehicle  
turns back into the lane. The driver  
will notice a turning movement of the  
steering wheel. Turn steering wheel  
in same direction, if the system does  
not steer sufficiently. Turn steering  
wheel gently into opposite direction, if  
lane change is intended.
