vehicle will accelerate to the last stored
speed.

using the continuous brake and you simulta-
neously depress the brake pedal, cruise con-
trol remains activated.
If the braking power from the continuous
brake is insufficient:
X
Shift down a gear and reduce your speed.
If you shift down on a downhill gradient
without adjusting the speed, cruise control
sets an engine speed lower than the engine
overspeed. The set speed remains set and
is automatically re-established as soon as
this is possible in a higher gear.
The vehicle is braked by the continuous brake
automatically if:
cruise control is activated and
R
the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed by
R
more than the speed tolerance
When the continuous brake is activated and
you activate cruise control, the continuous
brake regulates the set speed on downhill
slopes.

when overtaking:
X
Depress the accelerator pedal.

ished, release the accelerator pedal again.

ton.

Camera

Important safety notes

The front camera, reversing camera and
device camera are merely aids to assist driv-
ing. They may show a distorted view of obsta-
cles, show them incorrectly or not at all. The
cameras cannot replace your own awareness
of the immediate surroundings.
You are responsible for safe manoeuvring and
parking. When manoeuvring and parking,
make sure that there are no persons, animals
or objects in the manoeuvring area.
You are always responsible for safety and
must always pay attention to your immediate
surroundings when parking and manoeu-
vring. This applies to the areas behind, in front
of and beside the vehicle. Otherwise, you
endanger yourself and others.
The front camera, reversing camera and
device camera do not function or only func-
tion to a limited degree:
if it is raining hard, snowing or foggy
R
at night or when the vehicle is in very dark
R
places
if the camera is exposed to very bright light
R
if the area is lit by fluorescent light or LED
R
lighting (the display may flicker)
if the camera lens mists up, e.g. if you drive
R
into a heated garage in the winter and the
temperature changes very quickly
if the camera lens is dirty or obstructed
R
if the parts of the vehicle are damaged in
R
which the camera is fitted. In this case,
have the camera position and setting
checked at a qualified specialist workshop.
