Malfunctions
Read and observe and on page 232 first.
If the system is not available, an appropriate message appears in the display of
the instrument cluster.
Sensor covered / dirty
If the sensor cover or the sensor is dirty or covered, a message appears on the
instrument cluster display stating there is no sensor view. Clean the sensor
cover or remove the obstacles » fig. 252 on page 206.
If there is no sensor view in the winter, the snow on the sensor under the cov-
er could be the reason. The system is functional again after the snow melts
away from the sensor.
System unavailable
If the system is unavailable, a message concerning the unavailability appears.
Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and then start it again. If the system
still is not available, seek the assistance of a specialist garage.

WARNING
Please take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance sys-
tems » page 206, in chapter Introduction.
Adaptive chassis (DCC)
Read and observe on page 234 first.
The adaptive chassis (hereafter known as DCC) provides the ability to adjust
the shock characteristics for the sporty, normal or comfortable driving when
the corresponding control mode is selected.
The DCC evaluates steering response and road conditions while driving contin-
uously and adjusts the suspension behaviour within the selected driving mode
accordingly.
mode
Eco
Read and observe on page 234 first.
This mode is suitable for a relaxed style of driving and helps to save fuel.
Selecting this mode primarily affects the function of the following systems.
Drive
Vehicle acceleration is more relaxed than in
Normal
mode.
The recommended gear is controlled such to achieve the lowest possible fuel
consumption » page 43.
If the START-STOP system is deactivated manually » page 197, this will be au-
tomatically activated.
The automatic gearbox is set automatically to mode E » page 202.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Acceleration occurs more relaxed than in
Normal
» page 226mode with distance
control.
Xenon headlight
The system is in economic mode » page 66. The headlamps are in basic setting
and do not adapt to the direction of travel.
Air conditioning (Climatronic)
The air conditioning is controlled so as to save energy. For this reason, for ex-
ample, it may take longer to reach the desired interior temperature in mode
Normal
.
Notice
The maximum vehicle acceleration (kick down function) is possible also in driv-
ing mode
Eco
.
