Take control again
B
Launch control / reduce speed
C
a)
If no speed is set the current speed is adopted.
Once the controls are activated, the CCS maintains the vehicle at the set
speed; the indicator light
lights up in the instrument cluster.
After the interruption in control, the stored speed can be resumed by pressing
the
button.
B
Controls are automatically interrupted if any of the following occur.
▶
By pressing the brake or clutch pedal.
▶
When one of the brake assist systems (e.g. ESC) intervenes.
▶
Through an airbag deployment.
WARNING
Always deactivate the cruise control system after use to prevent the sys-
■
tem being switched on unintentionally.
Control may only be resumed if the set speed is not too high for the cur-
■
rent traffic conditions.
Note
During control, speed can be increased by pressing the accelerator pedal. Re-
leasing the accelerator pedal will cause the speed to drop again to the set
speed.
City Safe Drive
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Operation
Disable / Enable
City Safe Drive (hereinafter referred to as: the system) monitors the traffic sit-
uation ahead of the vehicle. If the system detects a risk of collision with an ob-
stacle ahead of the vehicle, then automatic braking is applied. The risk of a col-
lision is thus reduced and the consequences of an impact are minimized.
/ Increase speed

Read and observe
By means of a laser sensor
ahead of the vehicle up to a distance of about 10 metres
The system interventions take place when a risk of collision is detected as fol-
lows.
▶
The brake system is prepared for an emergency stop.
▶
