When you approach a curve the system may
briefly report vehicles in the next lane due
to the bend of the curve. If the system decel-
erates you may compensate for it by briefly
accelerating. After releasing the accelerator
pedal the system is reactivated and controls
speed independently.
Driving off
In some situations, the vehicle cannot drive off
automatically; for example:
▷ On steep uphill grades.
▷ In front of bumps in the road.
In these cases, step on the accelerator pedal.
Weather
The following restrictions can occur under un-
favorable weather or light conditions:
▷
Poorer vehicle detection.
▷ Short-term interruptions for vehicles that
are already recognized.
Drive attentively, and react to the current sur-
rounding traffic situation. If necessary, inter-
vene actively, for instance by braking, steering
or making an evasive maneuver.
Drive power
The set speed is also maintained downhill. The
speed may not be maintained on uphill grades
if the drive power is insufficient.
Depending on the driving mode, the vehicle
may exceed or drop below the set desired
speed in some situations; for instance, on
downhill or uphill grades.
Assisted Driving Mode
Principle
Assisted Driving Mode enhances Distance
Control with Steering Assistance and Lane
Guidance. The system assists the driver in
keeping the vehicle within the lane. For
this purpose, the system executes supporting
steering movements, for instance when cor-
nering.
General information
Depending on the speed, the system orients
itself according to the lane boundaries or vehi-
cles in front.
Sensors in the steering wheel detect whether
the steering wheel is being touched.
Depending on the vehicle equipment and
national-market version, the Driver Attention
Camera in the instrument cluster monitors the
driver's attention.
Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute for
the driver’s personal judgment in assessing
the traffic situation. Based on the limits of
the system, it cannot independently react
to all traffic situations. There is a risk of
accident. Adjust driving style to traffic condi-
tions. Watch the surrounding traffic situation
closely, be ready to take over steering and
braking at any time, and actively intervene
where appropriate.
The Cruise Control and Distance Control alerts
also apply.
