Function of Adaptive Brake Lights

emergency braking situation:

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 pulling away again,
the hazard warning lights 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
Cruise control accelerates and brakes the vehicle
automatically in order to maintain a previously
stored speed.
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.
Cruise control is operated using the correspond‐
ing steering wheel buttons. You can store any
road speed above 20 km/h.
If you fail to adapt your driving style, cruise con‐
trol can neither reduce the risk of an accident nor
override the laws of physics. It cannot take into
account road, weather or traffic conditions.
Cruise control is only an aid. You are responsible
for the distance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle
speed, braking in good time and for staying in
your lane.
Displays in the multifunction display
The status of cruise control and the stored speed
are shown in the multifunction display.
