Driving with predictive cruise control

Displays

As soon as the system has detected a speed limit or is going to reduce the speed based on the route, a message is

shown in the instrument cluster display. This message indicates the reason and the speed to which your vehicle will

be regulated.

Speed regulation due to speed limit.

Speed regulation due to the road layout.

End of traffic jam ahead.

When automatic speed control is assumed due to a speed limit, the detected speed is stored as the new desired

speed. In the case of control due to a road characteristic ahead, the vehicle will accelerate back up to the previously

stored speed afterwards.

Announced speeds for driving through bends depend on the driving profile .

Adjusting the announced speed

The announced speed can be adjusted only in the case of speed regulation due to a speed limit.

+ 10 km/h (5 mph):

Press the button. Pressing it for the first time switches to the next highest 10 km/h or 5 mph interval:

- 10 km/h (5 mph):

Press the button. Pressing it for the first time switches to the next lowest 10 km/h or 5 mph interval:

If you adapt the announced speed excessively, predictive cruise control will be terminated.

If a speed limit is detected, the predictive cruise control function will adjust the stored speed even if the ACC

is deactivated. However, speed regulation will not take place.

When a speed limit is lifted on a motorway, the target speed is automatically saved as the desired speed. If,

however, a higher speed has previously been stored on a motorway without a speed limit, this will be

adopted instead of the recommended speed.

Troubleshooting

A message is displayed that predictive cruise control is currently not available or is not

available in your country

1. If this message is displayed for an extended period and predictive cruise control is available in your country, go

to a suitably qualified workshop.

Depending on the malfunction, additional information may be displayed in the vehicle status (→ Vehicle

settings menu).

Introduction

The emergency braking system (Front Assist) can detect imminent frontal collisions and issue corresponding

warnings. The system can also assist when braking and initiate automatic braking.

Front Assist can help to avoid accidents, but is not a substitute for the full concentration of the driver.

Front Assist functions only within the system limits. The warning times vary depending on the traffic situation and

driver behaviour.

Functions

Front Assist includes the following additional functions depending on vehicle equipment and country:

—Pedestrian Monitoring.

—Cyclist Monitoring.

—Swerve assist.

—Turning emergency braking.

The listed functions are automatically active(if present) when Front Assist is switched on.

Detectable objects

Front Assist can detect the following objects depending on vehicle equipment and country:

—Vehicles.

—Bicycles and motorcycles.

— Pedestrians.

Driving with Front Assist

You can cancel the automatic braking interventions by steering or pressing the accelerator.

You can cancel automatic braking interventions by counter-steering.

Automatic braking

Front Assist can decelerate the vehicle to a standstill. The vehicle will not remain stationary. Depress the brake pedal!

The brake pedal will feel harder during an automatic braking manoeuvre.

Detection of the driving situation

Front Assist detects driving situations by means of a camera located in the upper area of the windscreen and a radar

sensor in the front of the vehicle.

WARNING

The intelligent technology used in Front Assist cannot overcome the laws of physics, and functions only within the

limits of the system. Never let the extra convenience afforded by Front Assist tempt you into taking risks when

driving. Front Assist cannot prevent accidents and serious injuries on its own. The driver is always responsible for all

driving tasks.

● Adapt your speed and distance from the vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.

● Please note that Front Assist cannot detect all objects throughout the entire speed range (→ Autonomous

Emergency Braking (Front Assist)).

● If Front Assist issues a warning, brake the vehicle immediately if the traffic allows or avoid the obstacle.
