The set speed is also maintained downhill. The

Active Cruise Control with
Distance Control
Principle
Using the Cruise Control, a desired speed and
a distance to a vehicle ahead can be adjusted
using the buttons on the steering wheel.
General information
The system maintains the set speed on clear
roads. The vehicle accelerates or brakes auto-
matically.
If a vehicle is driving ahead of you, the sys-
tem adjusts the speed of your vehicle so that
the set distance to the vehicle ahead is main-
tained. The speed is adjusted as far as the
given situation allows.
The distance can be adjusted at several levels.
For safety reasons, it depends on the respec-
tive speed.
If the vehicle ahead of you brakes to a stand-
still and then drives off again within a brief pe-
riod, the system is able to detect this within the
given system limits.

Otherwise, drive off on your own, such as by
pressing the accelerator pedal or the rocker
switch on the steering wheel.
Depending on the vehicle setting, the cruise
control settings may change under certain
conditions. For instance, acceleration can
change depending on the driving mode.
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.
Warning
An unsecured vehicle can begin to move and
possibly roll away. There is a risk of accident.
Before leaving the vehicle, secure the vehicle
against rolling away.
In order to ensure that the vehicle is secured
against rolling away, follow the following:
▷ Set the parking brake.
▷ On uphill grades or on downhill slopes,
turn the front wheels in the direction of
the curb.
▷ On uphill grades or on downhill slopes,
also secure the vehicle, for instance with
a wheel chock.
