Vehicle equipment

All standard, country-specific and optional

equipment that is offered in the model series is

described in this chapter. Therefore, equip‐

ment is also described that is not available in a

vehicle, e. g., because of the selected optional

equipment or country variant. This also applies

for safety-related functions and systems.

Active Cruise Control with

Stop & Go function, ACC

The concept

This system can be used to select a desired

speed that the vehicle will maintain automati‐

cally on clear roads.

To the extent possible, the system automati‐

cally adjusts the speed to a slower vehicle

ahead of you.

The distance that the vehicle maintains to the

vehicle ahead of you can be varied.

For safety reasons, it depends on the speed.

To maintain a certain distance, the system au‐

tomatically reduces the speed, applies the

brakes lightly, or accelerates again if the vehi‐

cle ahead begins moving faster.

If the vehicle ahead of you brakes to a halt, the

system is able to detect this within the given

system limits. If the vehicle ahead of your

drives away again from a halt, your vehicle is

able to accelerate if operated accordingly.

Even if some time passes before the vehicle

ahead of you drives away again, your own vehi‐

cle can still be accelerated automatically and

simply.

As soon as the road is clear, it accelerates to

the desired speed.

The speed is also maintained on downhill gra‐

dients, but may not be maintained on uphill

slopes if engine power is insufficient.

General information

Depending on the set driving program, the

characteristics of the cruise control can

change in certain areas.

Hints

Personal responsibility

Even an active system does not release

the driver from personal responsibility for the

driving process, especially for lane tracking,

adaptation of speed, distance and driving style

to the traffic conditions.

Because of technical system limits, the system

cannot independently react appropriately in all

traffic situations.

Monitor the driving process, the surrounding

area and what is occurring in traffic continu‐

ously and attentively and actively intervene as

required, e.g., by braking, steering or making

an evasive maneuver.◀

Unfavorable weather conditions

In the event of unfavorable weather and

light conditions, e. g. if there is rain, snowfall,

slush, fog or glare, this may result in poorer

recognition of vehicles as well as short-term

interruptions for vehicles that are already de‐

tected. Drive attentively, and react to the cur‐

rent traffic events. Intervene actively when

necessary, e.g., by braking, steering or making

an evasive maneuver, otherwise, there is dan‐

ger of an accident.◀
