DRIVER ASSIST SYSTEMS Quick Guide to: 1. Cruise Control (CCS) 2. Adaptive Cruise (ACC) 3. Lane Keeping Assist 4. Travel Assist Cruise control system 4 CCS switched on, system control ac- *J tive: oY CCS switched on, system control not *) active. If no speed is stored, the instrument cluster display shows --= instead of the speed. Operating the Cruise Control System (CCS) Switching on — Press the (%) button. No speed has been stored and the system is not yet active. Starting control — While driving, press the (SET) button. The CCS stores and regulates the current speed. Cancelling control — Briefly press the [%] button. Alternatively, depress the brake pedal. The speed remains stored in the memory. Resuming control — Press the (RES) button. The CCS resumes operation with the stored speed and regulates the speed again. Switching off — Press and hold the (4) button. The CCS is switched off and the stored speed is deleted. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) main- tains a constant speed that you have set. If the vehicle approaches a vehicle in front, the ACC automatically adapts the speed so that a distance you have selec- ted is maintained. Driver intervention prompt ( If automatic deceleration by the ACC system is not sufficient or the system limits have been reached, the ACC system will request you to also brake by a corresponding message on the instrument cluster. In addition, the red warning lamp lights up and an acoustic warning is given. Take over control of the vehicle and be prepared to brake. Switching the ACC on and off Switching on — Press the (%) button. ACC is not yet performing a control interven- tion. Starting control — While driving forwards, press the (SET) but- ton. ACC stores the current speed and maintains the set distance. If the current speed is out- side the defined speed range, ACC will set the minimum speed (when driving more slowly than the limit) or maximum speed (when driving faster than the limit). In addition, the traction control system (TCS) is activated and ESC Sport is deactivated. One of the following indicator lamps will light up depending on the driving situation: » ACC has taken control; no vehicle de- tected ahead. ACC has taken control; vehicle detec- ted ahead. When ACC is not active, the indicator lamps light up grey. Cancelling control — Briefly press the (%) button or press the brake pedal. The indicator lamp corresponding to the driv- ing situation lights up grey, the speed and distance remain stored. Control is automatically cancelled if the trac- tion control system (TCS) is deactivated. Resuming control — Press the (RES) button. ACC adopts the last set speed and last set distance. The instrument cluster display shows the set speed and the indicator lamp corresponding to the driving situation lights up. Switching off — Press and hold the (&) button. The set speed is deleted. Setting the ACC Setting the distance Fig. 109 On the instrument cluster display: set distance @, ACC regulating (illustration). You can set the distance in five steps from very small to very large: 1. Press the (#) button, 2. Press the (+) or ©) button or swipe verti- cally over the button area from (#) to (+) or@). 3. Alternatively, press the button (#) re- peatedly until the required distance is selected. The instrument cluster display shows the chosen setting > Fig. 109 In the Assist systems menu of the Infotain- ment system, you can choose whether you want to start control with the distance set at the end of the journey or a preselected dis- tance. Setting the speed You can adjust the stored speed within the defined speed range by means of the buttons on the multifunction steering wheel: + 1km/h(1 mph): Gently press the @ but- ton. -1km/h(1 mph): Gently press the © button. + 10 km/h (5 mph): Strongly press the button or swipe over the button from bottom to top. The first time it is ac- tuated, it jumps to the next higher ten (km/h) or five (mph) increment. -10km/h(5 mph): Strongly press the ©) button or swipe over the button from top to bottom. The first time it is ac- tuated, it jumps to the next lower ten (km/h) or five (mph) increment. Press and hold the corresponding button to continuously change the stored speed. Lane keeping system (Lane Assist) Within the system limits, the lane keep- ing system (Lane Assist) helps the driver to stay in lane. The function is not de- signed to keep the vehicle in lane auto- matically, nor is it suited to this purpose. Using a camera in the windscreen, the lane keeping system detects road Jane markings on the road. If your vehicle moves too close to a recognised road lane marking, the sys- tem will warn the driver with a corrective steering intervention. The corrective steering intervention can be overridden by the driver at any time. System limits Use the lane keeping system only on motor- ways and well-developed country roads. Driving with the lane keeping system Switching on and off Depending on country, the lane keeping sys- tem is always switched on when the ignition is switched on. You can also switch the lane keeping system on and off in the Assist sys- tems menu of the Infotainment system and view the current system status there. The lane keeping system (Lane Assist) is also switched on when the comfort drive function (Travel Assist) is switched on. Displays Fig.110 On the instrument cluster display: lane keeping system displays. @) Yellow line: road lane marking detected. System is actively intervening on the in- dicated side. @) White line: road lane marking detected. The system is ready to intervene on the side shown. With some equipment levels, additional de- tails about the road lane marking may also be shown on the instrument cluster display, e.g. dashed lane markings. With some equipment levels, a display is also shown on the Head-up Display > page 21. The following indicator lamps light up, de- pending on the driving situation: ,_.. 5Systemis active and ready to per- : « form control intervention. », System intervention (corrective £ES steering intervention). If no warning lamp lights up, the system is not ready to intervene on either side (passive system status) or is switched off. Troubleshooting =! Lane keeping system not available. The indicator lamp lights up yellow. A mes- sage will also appear on the instrument clus- ter display. — The camera window is dirty. Clean the windscreen > page 355. Travel Assist Travel Assist combines Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with adaptive lane guid- ance. Within the system limits, this ena- bles the driver to keep the vehicle at a preselected distance from the vehicle in front and stay in a predefined position within the lane. Travel Assist uses the same sensors as the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and the lane keeping system (Lane Assist). You should therefore read the information on ACC and Lane Assist carefully and observe the listed system limits and instructions. Speed range Travel Assist performs control as from around 20 km/h (around 15 mph), with extended op- eration for adaptive lane guidance from 0 km/h (O mph). This speed range may differ in certain markets. Driving with Travel Assist Travel Assist automatically regulates the speed and steers the vehicle. Within the sys- tem limits, Travel Assist can decelerate the vehicle to a standstill behind a vehicle that is stopping. It can also start driving again by it- self. You can override Travel Assist regulation at any time. Does the vehicle have Travel Assist? The vehicle is equipped with Travel Assist if the (8) button is available on the multifunc- tion steering wheel. Displays Fig. 111 On the instrument cluster display: ac- tive regulation displayed (illustration). @ Adaptive lane guidance active. @) Set distance. With some equipment levels, a display is also shown on the Head-up Display > page 21. With some equipment levels, additional de- tails may also be shown on the instrument cluster display, e.g. dashed lane markings and vehicles driving in front. Depending on the vehicle equipment, indica- tor lamps on the instrument cluster display show the status of Travel Assist: 2, Travel Assist active, Adaptive Cruise *™ Control and adaptive lane guidance active. ie. Travel Assist active, Adaptive Cruise “Control active, adaptive lane guidance passive. Driver intervention prompt If you take your hands off the steering wheel, the system prompts you within a few sec- onds to take over active steering by way of acoustic warnings and a display on the in- strument cluster. Travel Assist will be deactivated if you do not respond to the prompt. eee merce Cs Fig.112 Lefthand side of the multifunction steering wheel.
