The set speed is also maintained when driving
downhill. The vehicle may not achieve the set
speed on uphill gradients if there is not enough
drive power.
Depending on the drive mode, it is possible that
the vehicle will drive faster or slower than the set
speed setting in some situations; for example, on
downhill or uphill gradients.

Distance control
Principle
With the distance control, a distance to a vehicle
driving ahead can be set in addition to the Cruise
Control.
General
When the road ahead is clear, the system main‐
tains the set speed. The vehicle accelerates or
brakes automatically.
If there is a vehicle driving in front, the system
adapts the speed of your vehicle in order to
maintain the set distance from the vehicle ahead.
The speed is adapted as far as the given situa‐
tion allows.
The distance can be set in several stages and for
safety reasons is dependent on the respective
speed.
If the vehicle ahead brakes to a standstill and
sets off again shortly afterwards, the system is
able to comprehend this as far as the given con‐
ditions allow.
Otherwise, independent drive-off, for example,
by stepping on the accelerator pedal or by press‐
ing the button for the speed setting on the steer‐
ing wheel.
Safety notes
WARNING
The system does not relieve you of your per‐
sonal responsibility to assess the traffic situa‐
tion correctly. Due to system limitations, it can‐
not respond independently and appropriately in
all traffic conditions. There is a risk of accident.
Adapt your driving style to the traffic conditions.
Observe the traffic situation and intervene ac‐
tively if the situation warrants it.
