Driver assistance
Additional functions
Applies to: vehicles with adaptive cruise assist
Fig. 113 Lever: using adaptive cruise assist
Requirement: all additional functions require
adaptive cruise assist control to be active.
Overriding control
You can override control by the system complete-
ly, for example if you would like to pass another
vehicle or if you would like to accelerate faster.
> To accelerate manually, pull the lever toward
you in the direction of the arrow and hold it
there, or press the accelerator pedal.
> To resume the usual cruise control, release the
lever or remove your foot from the accelerator
pedal.
When you are in the Driver assistance display,
the message Overridden will appear.
Decreasing the distance
You can temporarily decrease the distance even
more, for example if you would like to merge into
another lane because of lane closures. In this sit-
uation, the adaptive cruise assist will accelerate
above the set speed if necessary.
> To further reduce the distance to the vehicle
ahead temporarily, pull the lever toward your-
self in the direction of the arrow and hold it in
that position.
» To resume the system control, release the lev-

Behavior when a turn signal is active (for
merging) )?)
‘When you use the turn signal, for example when
merging, then the system extends its area of
control into the adjacent lane. When the function
is active, the adaptive cruise assist will reduce the
speed so that you can merge behind the next ve-
hicle more easily > A\.
Requirements: the system is activated and has
detected that you are driving on a highway, the
difference in speed compared to other vehicles is
sufficiently small, and the distance between the
vehicles is great enough. The vehicles are driving
in traffic that is flowing consistently.
» To activate the function, activate the turn sig-
nal in the direction of the lane in which you
would like to merge.
» To cancel the function after a short period of
time, switch the turn signal off again. System
control will be canceled immediately if you
press the accelerator pedal.
The system will continue to maintain distance to
the vehicle ahead in your own lane, within the
limits of the system.
— Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras >page 138.
— Resting your foot on the accelerator pedal
could override the cruise control. Braking in-
terventions and corrective actions by the
system may not occur.
~The functions only provide assistance. The
driver is still responsible for controlling the
vehicle when using these functions. The
driver is especially responsible for changing
lanes, applying the brakes, controlling the
