Displays on the Head-Up Display
Some information from the system can also be
shown on Head-Up Display.
System limits
Speed range
The system can also be activated when the ve‐
hicle is at a standstill.
The optimum area of use is on well-construc‐
ted roads.
Desired speed can be selected between
30 km/h/20 mph and 140 km/h/85 mph.
When you use the system, comply with the le‐
gally prescribed maximum road speed.
After toggling the Cruise Control without dis‐
tance control, even higher desired speeds can
be selected.
Detection range
The detection capability of the system and au‐
tomatic braking capacity are limited.
For example, two-wheeled vehicles may not be
detected.
WARNING
The system does not take your personal
responsibility from you when you are estimat‐
ing the traffic situation. Due to limits of the sys‐
tem, it cannot respond independently in a rea‐
sonable way in all traffic conditions. Danger of
accidents. Adapt driving style to the driving
conditions. Observe the traffic situation and in‐
tervene actively if the situation warrants it.◀

Driving comfort
Deceleration
The system does not decelerate in the
following situations:
▷ Pedestrians, cyclists or similar slow road
users.
▷ Red traffic lights.
▷ Crossing traffic.
▷ Oncoming traffic.
▷ Unlit vehicles or vehicles with faulty light‐
ing at night.
Vehicles pulling out
A vehicle driving ahead of you is only detected
when it is fully in your driving lane.
If another vehicle suddenly pulls out in front of
you, the system might not be able to re-estab‐
lish the selected distance of its own accord.
The same applies when you are driving signifi‐
cantly faster than the vehicle in front of you, for
example when you are rapidly approaching a
lorry. If a vehicle is clearly detected in front of
you, the system requires that you intervene by
braking, and if necessary by taking evasive ac‐
tion.

tem, it cannot respond independently in a rea‐
