If a vehicle is driving ahead of you, the system
adjusts the speed of the vehicle so that the set
distance to the vehicle ahead is maintained.
The speed is adjusted as far as the given sit-
uation allows.
The distance can be adjusted at several levels.
For safety reasons, it depends on the respec-
tive speed.
If the vehicle ahead of you brakes to a stand-
still and then drives off again within a brief pe-
riod, the system is able to detect this within the
given system limits.
Otherwise, drive off on your own such as by
pressing the accelerator pedal or the rocker
switch on the steering wheel.
Depending on the vehicle setting, the cruise
control settings may change under certain
conditions. For instance, acceleration can
change depending on the driving mode.
Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute for
the driver's personal judgment in assessing
the traffic situation. Based on the limits of
the system, it cannot independently react
to all traffic situations. There is a risk of
accident. Adjust driving style to traffic condi-
tions. Watch the surrounding traffic situation
closely, be ready to take over steering and
braking at any time, and actively intervene
where appropriate.
Warning
An unsecured vehicle can begin to move and
possibly roll away. There is a risk of accident.
Before leaving the vehicle, secure the vehicle
against rolling away.
In order to ensure that the vehicle is secured
against rolling away, follow the following:

▷ Set the parking brake.
▷ On uphill grades or on downhill slopes,
turn the front wheels in the direction of
the curb.
▷ On uphill grades or on downhill slopes,
also secure the vehicle, for instance with
a wheel chock.
Warning
The set speed can be incorrectly adjusted
or called up by mistake. There is a risk of
accident. Adjust the set speed to the traffic
conditions. Watch surrounding traffic closely
and actively intervene where appropriate.
Warning
Risk of accident is greater when there is a
high speed differential to other vehicles, for
instance in the following situations:
▷ When approaching a slowly moving ve-
hicle at speed.
▷ Vehicle suddenly swerving into own
lane.
▷ When approaching stationary vehicles at
speed.
There is a risk of injury or danger to life.
Watch surrounding traffic closely and actively
intervene where appropriate.
Warning
Individual functions may not work correctly
when towing with Forward Collision Mitiga-
tion enabled or Cruise Control switched on.
There is a risk of accident. Switch off Forward
