When VSC is deactivated, driv-
ing stability is reduced during
acceleration and when driving in
curves.
To increase vehicle stability,
activate VSC again as soon as
possible.

When VSC is deactivated, VSC

ment cluster.

3-1. CONTROLS

In this case, even if the VSC oper-
ates, it cannot operate sufficiently
to avoid a possible dangerous situ-
ation. The driver is solely responsi-
ble for understanding their
surroundings and driving at a safe
speed.

Traction mode is a version of the
VSC Vehicle Stability Control
System where forward momen-
tum is optimized.
The system ensures maximum
headway on special road condi-
tions or loose road surfaces, for
instance unplowed snowy
roads, but with somewhat lim-
ited driving stability.

When Traction mode is acti-
vated, the vehicle has maximum
traction. Driving stability is lim-
ited during acceleration and
when driving in curves.
You may find it useful to briefly
activate Traction mode in the
following situations:



When driving in slush or on
uncleared, snow-covered
roads.



When driving off from deep
snow or loose ground.



When driving with snow

chains.

The active differential provides
for continuously variable lock-
ing of the rear axle differential,
depending on the driving situa-
tion. It prevents a single rear
wheel from spinning and
depending on the situation,
increases the drive power of the
wheel with greater road grip.
This significantly improves the
traction and driving dynamics of
the vehicle.
The driver is responsible adapt-
ing his or her driving style to the

situation.

This chapter describes all stan-
dard, country-specific and
optional features offered with
the series. It also describes fea-
tures and functions that are not
necessarily available in your
vehicle, e.g., due to the selected
options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related
functions and systems. When
using these functions and sys-
tems, the applicable laws and
regulations must be observed.

Speed Limit Info shows the cur-
rent valid maximum speed in the
instrument cluster and the
Head-up Display.

The camera in the area of the
interior mirror detects traffic
signs at the edge of the road as
well as variable overhead sign
posts.
Traffic signs with extra symbols

are considered and compared
with the vehicle's onboard data.
The traffic sign will then be
either displayed or ignored
depending on the situation in the
instrument cluster and the
Head-up Display.
The system takes into account
any information that is stored in
the navigation system and also
displays speed limits present on
routes without signs.

The system is controlled by the
following sensors:
• Cameras behind the wind-

shield.

braking or accelerating may
occur.

Cruise control is continued with

Using this system, a desired
speed and a distance to a vehi-
cle ahead can be adjusted using
the buttons on the steering
wheel.
The system maintains the
desired speed on clear roads.
For this purpose, the vehicle
accelerates or brakes automati-
cally.
If a vehicle is driving ahead of
you, the system adjusts the
speed of your vehicle so that the
set distance to the vehicle
ahead is maintained. The speed
is adjusted as far as the given
situation allows.

Depending on the vehicle set-
tings, the characteristics of the
Cruise Control may change.
The distance can be adjusted in
several steps. For safety rea-
sons, it depends on the respec-
tive speed.
If the vehicle ahead of you
brakes to a halt, and then pro-
ceeds to drive again within a
brief period, the system is able

to detect this within the given
system limits.
