Weather

In adverse weather and lighting conditions, sys‐
tem functionality may be limited as follows:
▷ Impaired detection of vehicles.
▷ Brief interruptions when vehicles have already
been detected.
Pay attention when driving and respond to the
prevailing traffic situation. If necessary, intervene
actively, for example by braking, steering or tak‐
ing avoidance manoeuvre.
Drive power
The set speed is also maintained when driving
downhill. The vehicle may not achieve the set
speed on uphill gradients if there is not enough
drive power.
Depending on the drive mode, it is possible that
the vehicle will drive faster or slower than the set
speed setting in some situations; for example, on
downhill or uphill gradients.
Assisted Driving
Principle
Assisted Driving enhances the distance control
with a Steering Assistant with tracking. The sys‐
tem helps keep the vehicle in driving lane. It does
this by performing supporting steering wheel
movements, for example when cornering.
General
Depending on the speed, the system orientates
itself using the lane markings and vehicles driving
in front.
Sensors in the steering wheel detect whether
the steering wheel is being touched.

Safety note
WARNING
The system does not relieve you of your per‐
sonal responsibility to assess the traffic situa‐
tion correctly. Due to system limitations, it can‐
not respond independently and appropriately in
all traffic conditions. There is a risk of accident.
Adapt your driving style to the traffic conditions.
Observe the traffic situation and intervene ac‐
tively if the situation warrants it.
