Driving
After overtaking, the speed limiter can be
s
wit
ched on with the pr
eviously set speed by
pressing button
3
on the turn signal lever in
the ar
ea
or by moving the third lever into
pressure point .
Switch the speed limiter off temporarily by
pressing down the accelerator (kick-
down)
If the accelerator is pressed right down (kick-
down) and the set speed is exceeded be-
cause driver wishes to do so, the limiter is
temporarily disabled.
To confirm it being switched off an acoustic
signal sound once. While the limiter is off, the
warning and control lamp flashes.
When the accelerator is no longer pressed
down and the speed is reduced below the set
value, the limiter switches on again. The con-
trol lamp will light up and remain lit.
Automatic off
The speed limiter is automatically switched
off:
●
If the system detects a fault that could neg-
atively affect the working order of the limiter.
●
If the airbag is triggered.
CAUTION
For automatic switching off due to system
failures, f
or security reasons, the limiter is
only completely switched off when the
driver stops pr
essing the accelerator at
some point or consciously switches off the
system.
Emergency braking assis-
tance system (Fr
ont Assist)*
Topic introduction
Fig. 231
On the instrument panel display: ad-
v
ance w
arning indications.
The objective of the emergency braking as-
sist
ance syst
em is t
o prevent head-on colli-
sions against objects that may be in the vehi-
cle’s path or minimise the consequences of
such impacts.
Within the limitations imposed by the environ-
mental conditions and by the system itself,
the function acts in staggered fashion, de-
pending on how critical the situation is. Initial-
ly it warns the driver, and if the driver’s reac-
tion does not occur or is insufficient, it acti-
vates an independent emergency braking.
The function is oriented at avoiding the fol-
lowing situations:
●
Collisions with parked vehicles or vehicles
in the same lane travelling in the same direc-
tion.
●
Hitting pedestrians who cross in front of the
vehicle's path or who are walking in the same
lane and direction.
It may fail to activate in other danger situa-
tions.
The Front Assist function is active within a
range of speeds between 4 km/h (2.5 mph)
and 250 km/h (156 mph). Depending on
speed, traffic conditions and driver behaviour,
some of the sub-functions described below
are omitted in order to optimise the system’s
general behaviour.
The Front Assist is a driving assistance
function that can never replace the driv-
er’s attention.
Safety distance warning
If the system detects a situation of danger
because the vehicle is too close to the vehicle
ahead, it will warn the driver by means of an
