Function of Adaptive Brake Lights
Adaptive Brake Lights warn following traffic in an
emergency braking situation with the following
actions:
By flashing the brake lamps
R
By activating the hazard warning lights
R
If the vehicle is braked sharply from speeds
above 50 km/h, the brake lamps flash rapidly.
This provides traffic travelling behind you with an
even more noticeable warning.
If the vehicle is travelling at speeds of more than
70 km/h at the beginning of the brake applica‐
tion, the hazard warning lights switch on once
the vehicle is stationary. When you pull away
again, the hazard warning lights will switch off
automatically at approximately 10 km/h. You
can also switch off the hazard warning lights
using the hazard warning button.
Cruise control and limiter
Function of cruise control
Plug-in hybrid: observe the notes in the Supple‐
ment. Otherwise, you may fail to recognise dan‐
gers.
Cruise control regulates the speed to the value
selected by the driver.
If you accelerate to overtake, for example, the
stored speed is not deleted. If you remove your
foot from the accelerator pedal after overtaking,
cruise control will resume speed regulation back
to the stored speed.
