General information
A radar sensor is located in the front bumper
and a camera on the interior mirror to detect
vehicles driving ahead of you.
Depending on the vehicle setting, the cruise
control characteristic can change in certain
ranges. For instance, the acceleration in ECO
PRO driving mode is more gentle.
The distance can be adjusted in several steps.
For safety reasons, it depends on the respec‐
tive speed.
If the vehicle ahead of you brakes to a halt, and
then proceeds to drive again within a brief pe‐
riod, the system is able to detect this within the
given system limits.

tem, it cannot independently react to all traffic
situations. There is a risk of an accident. Adjust
the driving style to the traffic conditions. Watch
traffic closely and actively intervene in the re‐
spective situations.◀

against rolling away, observe the following:
Set the parking brake.
On uphill grades or on a downhill slope,
turn the front wheels in the direction of the
curb.
On uphill grades or on a downhill slope,
also secure the vehicle, e.g., with a wheel
chock.◀

justed or called up by mistake. There is a risk

tively intervene in the respective situations.◀

differences to other vehicles, e.g., in the fol‐
lowing situations:
