Driving

Fig. 287  Lane changes of other vehicles / stationary vehicles



Read and observe   on page 235 first.

The following (and similar) situations require special attention and possibly the

intervention of the driver (braking, accelerating etc.).

When cornering

When driving into or driving out of long corners, it could be that a vehicle is

travelling in the adjacent lane and is scanned by the radar 

» Fig. 286

 - . The

host vehicle is then controlled according to this vehicle.

Narrow vehicles or vehicles travelling side by side

A narrow or offset vehicle driving can only be recognized by the ACC if this is

located in the scanning range of the radar 

» Fig. 286

 - .

Other vehicles changing lanes

Vehicles that change onto the lane with a small distance 

» Fig. 287

 -  may not

be detected by ACC in good time.

Stationary vehicles

The ACC does not detect stationary objects! When a vehicle detected by the

ACC turns or sheers off and there is a stationary vehicle in front of this vehicle,

» Fig. 287

 - the ACC does not respond to the stationary vehicle.

Vehicles with special load or special body parts

Other vehicles with a load or with body parts protruding from the sides, back

or top of the vehicle contour may not be detected by the ACC.

Overtaking and towing



Read and observe   on page 235 first.

When overtaking

When your vehicle is being controlled at a speed that is lower than the set

speed and the turn signal is operated, ACC assesses this situation as meaning

that the driver wishes to overtake. The ACC automatically accelerates the ve-

hicle, thereby reducing the proximity to a vehicle ahead.
If your vehicle changes to the overtaking lane and no vehicle is detected

ahead, ACC accelerates until the set speed is reached and then keeps it con-

stant.
Acceleration can be cancelled at any time by touch on the brake pedal or

pressing the button  on the lever 

» Fig. 285

 on page 237.

Towing a trailer

When towing, or if another accessory is connected to the trailer socket, ACC

control is set with a lower rate. The manner of driving should therefore be

adapted to this limitation.

Malfunctions



Read and observe   on page 235 first.

If ACC is not available, the warning light  appears in the display of the instru-

The pre-warning display can occur in the following situations.

▶

If there is a risk of collision with a moving obstacle in a speed range of ap-

proximately 30 km/h to 210 km/h.

▶

If there is a risk of collision with a stationary obstacle in a speed range of ap-

proximately 30 km/h to 80 km/h.

With a warning the brake pedal must be pressed or the moving obstacle is

to be avoided!

Immediate warning and automatic braking - a moving obstacle

If the driver does not react to the advance warning when in danger of a colli-

sion with a moving obstacle, the system briefly applies the brake automatically

via an active brake intervention to draw attention to the potential danger of a

collision again.
If the driver does not respond to acute warning, the system begins to auto-

matically brake the vehicle.

Automatic braking - a stationary obstacle

If the driver does not respond to the advance warning of the risk of a collision

with a stationary obstacle in a speed range of approximately 30 km/h to 60

km/h, the system initiates automatic braking.

Information on automatic braking

If an automatic brake intervention is triggered by the system, the pressure in

the brake system increases and the brake pedal cannot be operated with the

normal pedal stroke.
The automatic braking interventions can be cancelled by pressing the acceler-

ator pedal or by means of a steering intervention.

Brake assist

If the driver brakes inadequate with an impending collision, the system auto-

matically increases braking force.
The braking assistance only occurs as long as the brake pedal is being firmly

pressed down.

Pedestrian recognition

Driving

Function



Read and observe   on page 244 first.

In critical driving situations (e.g. during emergency braking or a sudden change

in direction), the following steps can be taken separately or combined in order

to reduce the risk of serious injury.

▶

The front passenger's and driver's seatbelts, if worn, are automatically ten-

sioned closely over the body.

▶

Opened electrically powered door windows are closed automatically up to a

gap of about 5 cm from the edge.

▶

The sliding/tilting roof is closed.

Once the critical driving situation has passed, the tension on the seatbelts will

be released again.
The system operates at two levels of protection.

The first level of protection

The system already intervenes in situations that may occur during dynamic

driving. As a result, this primarily helps to keep the driver and the passenger in

the correct seated position.
The first protection level can be deactivated in one of the following ways.

▶

In the infotainment system, in menu

» page 244

.

▶

By selecting the driving mode Offroad 

» page 217

.

After switching the ignition off and on, the system is activated in both levels of

protection.

The second level of protection

The system intervenes only if the situation is evaluated as critical, such as

when panic braking at high speeds.
This level of protection cannot be deactivated.

Vehicles with the Front Assist system

Using this information, a system intervention may also occur when there is the

danger of a collision with an obstacle detected in front of the vehicle.

Lane Departure Warning (Lane Assist)



Introduction

Fig. 291 

Sensor for Lane Assist

The lane departure warning (following known as system) helps to keep the ve-

hicle between the boundary lines of a lane.
The system recognises the boundary lines of the lane using a sensor 

» Fig. 291

.

When the vehicle approaches a detected line between lanes, the system

makes a light movement of the steering wheel in the opposite direction to the

boundary line. This corrective steering intervention can be manually overridden

at any time.

WARNING

■

Please take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance

systems 

» page 214,

   in section Introduction.

■

Lane Assist can help you keep the vehicle within the lane. However, it

does not steer the vehicle for you. The driver retains full responsibility for

steering at all times.

■

Some objects or markings on the road can be recognised as the boundary

lines - an erroneous steering intervention may be the result.

WARNING

The system may not be able to recognise the boundary line, or recognise it

incorrectly, for example, in the following situations.

■

When visibility is poor, (e.g. fog, heavy rain, thick snowfall).

■

When driving in “sharp” bends.

■

The sensor is blinded by the sun or oncoming traffic.

■

The field of view of the sensor is limited by an obstacle or a preceding ve-

hicle.



   in section Introduction.

■

The system is intended for emergency situations when the driver is sud-

denly unable to take over the steering task. Therefore, never try to test out

the system - there is a risk of an accident!

Function



Read and observe   on page 248 first.

The assistant for emergencies (following known as system) detects inactivity

of the driver, which for example can be caused by a sudden loss of conscious-

ness. The system then performs measures as safely as possible to decelerate

the vehicle to a stop.
Only vehicles with automatic transmission, Lane Assist and ACC can be equip-

ped with the system.

 and ACC 

» page 235

, For this reason, the chapters re-

lating to these systems must be read carefully and the safety instructions lis-

ted therein must be observed.

System intervention

If the system detects the driver's inactivity, it draws attention to this fact by a

beep and a message on the display of the instrument cluster. It keeps the vehi-

cle in its lane.
If the driver does not take over the steering even after a repeated warning, the

system automatically brakes the vehicle and after it has come to a standstill

the parking brake switch on.
With automatic braking, the hazard warning system is switched on.
The automatic braking interventions can be cancelled by pressing the acceler-

ator pedal or by means of a steering intervention.

Operating conditions

WARNING

■

Please take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance

systems 

» page 214,

   in section Introduction.

■

Vertical traffic signs must always take precedence over the traffic signs

shown in the display. The driver is always responsible for correctly assess-

ing the traffic situation.

■

The speed indications in the traffic signs shown refer to the speed units

that are common in the country. For example, the display  may relate to

km/h or mph depending on the country in question.

WARNING

The traffic signs may not be displayed or displayed incorrectly in the sys-

tem e.g. in the following situations.

■

When visibility is poor, (e.g. fog, heavy rain, thick snowfall).

■

The sensor is blinded by the sun or oncoming traffic.

■

The field of view of the sensor is limited by an obstacle or a preceding ve-

hicle.

■

Travelling at high speed.

■

The traffic signs are covered (e.g. by trees, snow or dirt).

■

The traffic signs are not standard (round with a red border) or are dam-

aged.

■

The traffic signs are attached to flashing neon signs.

■

The traffic signs were changed (the navigation data are out of date).

Note

The system is only available in some countries.

Fatigue detection system

The fatigue detection system (hereinafter simply the system) advises the driv-

er to take a break from driving when driver fatigue can be detected based on

the driver's steering behaviour.
The system evaluates the steering behaviour at speeds of 60-200 km/h.
Conditions under which a break from driving is detected by the system

▶

The vehicle is stopped and the ignition switched off.

▶

The vehicle is stopped, the seat belt removed and the driver's door opened.

▶

The vehicle is stopped for more than 15 minutes.

If none of these conditions are met or if the driving style is not changed, the

system recommends a driving break again after 15 minutes.

■

Therefore, take regular, sufficient breaks during long trips.

■

There will be no system warning during the so-called micro-sleep.

Note

■

In some situations, the system can evaluate the steering behaviour incorrect-

ly and therefore falsely display a break recommendation.

■

The system is designed primarily for use on motorways.

Tyre pressure monitoring

Introduction

The tyre pressure monitoring function (following known as system) monitors

the tyre pressure while driving.
If the tyre inflation pressure changes, the warning light 



 lights up in the in-

strument cluster and an audible signal sounds

» page 45

.

The system can only function properly if the tyres have the prescribed inflation

pressure and these pressure values are stored in the system.
Always save the tyre pressure values in the system if one of the following

events occurs.

▶

Change of tyre pressure values.

▶

Change one or more wheels.

▶

Change in position of a wheel on the vehicle.

▶

   in section Introduction.

■

Having the correct tyre inflation pressure is always the driver's responsi-

bility. Tyre pressure should be checked regularly 

» page 275

.

■

The system cannot warn in case of very rapid tyre inflation pressure loss,

e.g. in case of sudden tyre damage.

■

Before storing the pressures, the tyres must be inflated to the specified

inflation pressure 

» page 275

. If the wrong pressure valuesare stored, the

system may not issue any warnings, even if the tyre pressure is too low.

CAUTION

To ensure proper system function, the tire pressure values must be stored ev-

ery 10 000 km or 1x a year.
