Cruise control system

Introduction

The cruise control system helps to

maintain a set speed.

218

Speed range

The cruise control system is available at speeds above approximately 20 km/h (approximately 15 mph) when driving forward.

Driving with the Cruise Control System

You can override the stored speed at any time, for example, to pass another vehicle. The regulation function is paused while

the vehicle accelerates and then resumes the stored speed.

Displays

If the cruise control system is switched on, the instrument cluster display indicates the saved speed and the status of the

cruise control system.

The following indicator lights may turn on depending on the driving situation and the instrument cluster version:

Cruise control system is switched on, speed regulation active.

If the cruise control system is not regulating the speed, the indicator lights are small or grey.

If no speed is stored, the instrument cluster display shows

instead of the speed.

Driving downhill

The vehicle cannot maintain the saved speed in all driving situations. Always be ready to apply the brakes.

1. Downshift before traveling downhill for extended periods.

This will enable you to utilize the engine braking effect and reduce the load on the brakes.

WARNING

If it is not possible to drive safely with enough distance and a constant speed, using the cruise control system may cause

accidents and serious or fatal injuries.

Always adapt your speed and distance to vehicles driving ahead based on the visual, weather, road, and trafﬁc

conditions. The driver is always responsible for the speed.

Never use the cruise control system when visibility is poor, when there is not enough distance, or when roads are

steep, winding, ﬂooded, or slippery, for example from snow, ice, moisture, or gravel.

Never use the cruise control system when driving off-road or on unpaved roads.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

Introduction

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

maintains your selected speed. When

the vehicle approaches a vehicle

driving ahead, the ACC adjusts the

speed automatically and maintains

your set distance to the vehicle driving

ahead.

Does this vehicle have ACC?

The vehicle has ACC if you can adjust ACC settings in the Assistance systems menu in the Infotainment system.

Speed range

You can set a speed of between 30 km/h (20 mph) and 210 km/h (130 mph). The maximum speed that you can set may be

lower, depending on the vehicle equipment and country.

Driving with ACC

You can override the ACC system at any time. The regulation function is canceled when you apply the brakes. When you

accelerate, the regulation function is paused while accelerating and then resumed with the speed set.

Driver intervention request

If automatic deceleration by the ACC is not sufficient or the system limits are reached, the ACC will prompt you – with a

message in the instrument cluster – to also apply the brakes. The red warning light will also turn on and a warning tone will

sound. Take over steering and be ready to brake.

WARNING

ACC is not a replacement for the driver's attention and works only within the system limitations. ACC cannot detect all

driving situations and may not react, or may react with a delay, or may react in a way that is not desired. If you are

careless, there is a risk of accidents, serious injuries and death.

Always stay attentive and do not rely solely on the system. The driver is always responsible for control of the

vehicle.

Observe the system limitations ⇒ ACC system limitations.

Always adapt your speed and distance to vehicles driving ahead based on the visual, weather, road, and trafﬁc

conditions.

Take over steering immediately if a driver intervention prompt appears in the instrument cluster display or the

deceleration by ACC is not sufﬁcient.

Apply the brakes if the vehicle continues to roll unintentionally, e.g. after a driver intervention prompt.
