Semi-adaptive cruise

control

9 Warning

The complete driver attention is

always required while driving with

semi-adaptive cruise control. The

driver stays fully in control of the

vehicle because the brake pedal

and the accelerator pedal have

priority over any semi-adaptive

cruise control operation.

The semi-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 a camera at the top of

the windscreen and a radar sensor in

the front bumper to detect the

vehicles ahead. If no vehicle is

detected in the driving path, the semi-

adaptive cruise control will behave

like a conventional cruise control.

Switching on the system

The semi-adaptive cruise control can

be switched on at a speed between

25 mph and 93 mph.

A precondition is that semi-adaptive

cruise control is not deactivated in the

vehicle personalisation menu 3 127.

The semi-adaptive cruise control

automatically decelerates the vehicle

when approaching a slower moving

vehicle. It then adjusts the vehicle

speed to follow the vehicle ahead at

the selected following distance. The

vehicle speed increases or decreases

to follow the vehicle ahead, but will

not exceed the set speed. The semi-

adaptive cruise control does not

actively brake the vehicle but uses

engine braking.

reducing the selected speed before

entering a bend and in general to

adapt the speed to the road type and

to existing speed limits.

the visibility is reduced due to weather

conditions.

While entering or exiting a motorway,

semi-adaptive cruise control may lose

the vehicle ahead and accelerate up

to the set speed. For this reason,

decrease the set speed before the

exit or before the entry.

Hill considerations

9 Warning

Vehicle path changes

Do not use the semi-adaptive

cruise control on steep hill roads.

Have the system checked by a dealer

or a qualified workshop.

As a safety measure, do not use the

system if the brake lights are faulty.

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.

Forward collision alert

If another vehicle enters your driving

path, semi-adaptive cruise control will

first consider the vehicle when it is

completely in your path. Be ready to

take action and depress the brake

pedal, if you need to brake more

quickly.

The forward collision alert may help to

avoid or reduce the harm caused by

front-end crashes.

The forward collision alert uses the

front camera in the windscreen and a

radar sensor in the front bumper to

detect a preceding vehicle directly

ahead, in your path.

Note that applying the brake

deactivates the system.

If a vehicle directly ahead is

approached too quickly, a warning

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 acoustic

signals and display indication.

It uses two different acoustic warning

signals for the front and rear

monitoring areas, each with a

different tone frequency.

The system operates with ultrasonic

parking assist sensors in the rear and

front bumper.

Indication

Depending on which side of the

vehicle is closer to an obstacle,

acoustic warning signals in the

vehicle sound on the respective side.

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.

System limitations

Performance of the parking assist

system can be reduced due to

are taller vehicles in the vicinity

(e.g. off-road vehicles, mini vans,

vans). Object identification and

correct distance indication in the

upper part of these vehicles

cannot be guaranteed.

Side blind spot alert

The side blind spot alert system

detects and reports objects on either

side of the vehicle, within a specified

blind spot zone. The system displays

a visual alert in each exterior mirror,

when detecting objects that may not

be visible in the interior and exterior

mirrors.
