av
elling down hills with the CCS
When travelling down hills the CCS cannot
maintain a constant speed. Slow the vehicle
down using the brake pedal and reduce
gears if required.
Automatic off
The cruise control system (CCS) is switched
off automatically or temporarily:
●
If the system detects a fault that could neg-
atively affect the operation of the CCS.
●
If you drive above your set speed limit for a
long time.
●
When action is taken to adjust driving dy-
namics, e.g. by the ASR and ESC.
●
If the airbag is triggered.
●
If the brake pedal is pressed.
●
If, in the case of the DSG
®
dual clutch gear-
box, the selector lever is in the R, P or N posi-
tion.
●
If, in the case of a manual gearbox, 1st
gear is engaged.
●
If the clutch pedal is pressed for a long
time.
WARNING
Use of the cruise control could cause acci-
dents and sev
ere injuries if it is not possible
to drive at a constant speed maintaining the
safety distance.
●
Do not use the cruise control in heavy traf-
fic, if the distance from the vehicle in front is
insufficient, on steep roads, with several
bends or in slippery circumstances (snow,
ice, rain or loose gravel), or on flooded roads.
●
Never use the CCS when driving off-road or
on unpaved roads.
●
Always adapt your speed and the distance
to the vehicles ahead in line with visibility,
weather conditions, the condition of the road
and the traffic situation.
●
To avoid unexpected operation of the cruise
control system, turn it off every time you fin-
ish using it.
●
It is dangerous to use a set speed which is
too high for the prevailing road, traffic or
weather conditions.
●
When travelling down hills, the CCS cannot
maintain a constant speed. The vehicle tends
to accelerate under its own weight. Select a
lower gear or use the foot brake to slow the
vehicle.
Lane Assist system*
Intr
oduction
WARNING
The intelligent technology in the lane assist
syst
em cannot change the limits imposed by
the laws of physics and by the system itself.
Careless or uncontrolled use of the Lane As-
sist system may cause accidents and injury.
The system is not a replacement for driver
awareness.
●
Always adapt your speed and the distance
to the vehicles ahead in line with visibility,
weather conditions, the condition of the road
and the traffic situation.
●
Always keep your hands on the steering
wheel so you can turn it at any time.
●
The lane assist system does not detect all
road markings. In some circumstances, the
poor state of the road, structures located on
it or certain objects may be mistakenly recog-
nised as road markings by the lane assist
system. In such situations, switch the lane
assist system off immediately.
●
Pay attention to the instructions on the in-
strument panel display and act accordingly to
its requests.
●
Always pay attention to the vehicle's sur-
roundings.
