Displaying the set speed
The speed set for the speed
control system is shown below
the speedometer. The color in-
dicates the system status.
– The speed value illumi-
nates green when a speed
control system is acti-
vated.
– The speed value illuminates gray when
the system is interrupted.
– If no value is displayed, the system
turns off.
Indicator light
The cruise control status is also
given by the indicator light on the
Interaction Unit. The indicator light
illuminates green when the system is acti-
vated.
Displays in the Head-up display
Depending on vehicle equipment, some
speed control system information can also
be displayed on the Head-up display.
System limits
Depending on the drive mode or drive
power, the vehicle may exceed or drop be-
low the set desired speed in some situa-
tions, e.g., when driving uphill or downhill.
Do not use Cruise Control when towing.
Distance control
Principle
With the distance control, a distance to a
vehicle driving ahead can be adjusted in
addition to the Cruise Control.
The distance can be adjusted at several lev-
els. For safety reasons, it depends on the
respective speed.
The system maintains the set speed on clear
roads. The vehicle accelerates or brakes au-
tomatically.
If a vehicle is driving ahead of you, the
system adjusts the speed of the vehicle so
that the set distance to the vehicle ahead is
maintained. The speed is adjusted as far as
the given situation allows.
Distance Control is operated using the but-
tons on the left of the steering wheel. The
distance is set using the Interaction Unit.
Distance Control information is shown on
the Interaction Unit.
General information
If the preceding vehicle brakes to a stand-
still and drives off again shortly afterward,
Distance Control is capable of detecting this
as far as given conditions allow.
Otherwise, drive off independently such as
by stepping on the accelerator pedal or by
pressing the button for the speed setting on
the steering wheel.
Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute
for the driver’s personal judgment in as-
sessing the traffic situation. Based on the
limits of the system, it cannot independ-
ently react to all traffic situations. There
is a risk of accident, injury, or property
