Cruise control*
The concept The cruise control is available for use at speeds of approx. 20 mph/30 km/h and higher. The vehicle stores and maintains the speed that you set using the lever mounted on the steering col- umn.
Do not use the cruise control under driv- ing conditions that do not permit a con-
stant speed, e.g. when driving on winding roads, in heavy traffic or in poor road conditions such as snow, rain, ice, and loose road surface.
Otherwise you could loose control of the vehi- cle and cause an accident.<

Maintaining speed, storing speed, and accelerating Press lever to resistance point, arrow 1: The speed currently being driven is maintained and stored. The display 1 in the speedometer, see below, indicates this regulated speed. Every time you press the lever, the vehicle's speed increases by roughly 1 mph/1 km/h. Press lever to resistance point for a longer time: The vehicle accelerates without pressure on the accelerator pedal. The system maintains and stores your current speed as soon as you release the lever. Press the lever beyond the resistance point: increase speed by 5 mph/10 km/h. If, on a downhill grade, the engine's braking effect is not sufficient, the controlled speed can be exceeded. Speed can drop on uphill grades if the engine output is insufficient.
Maintaining speed, storing speed, and decelerating Pull the lever, arrow 2: Functions are the same as 1, only the vehicle speed is reduced.
Interrupting cruise control Press the lever up or down, arrow 3. In addition, cruise control is automatically deac- tivated: > When the brakes are applied > When the clutch pedal is depressed or the automatic transmission/SMG is shifted into the N position
> When the DSC comes on

Active cruise control*
The concept With active cruise control, you can select a desired speed which is not only automatically maintained when driving on open roadways, but also varied to maintain a selected distance set- ting as slower traffic is encountered. Active cruise control is a technological advance over the familiar cruise control and is a welcome relief from the constant adjustment of speed that can accompany driving in traffic on free- ways or other high-speed thoroughfares.
67
g
Especially on longer trips, the system can reduce fatigue and tension, while increasing your enjoyment of driving. Please use it safely and responsibly. In addition to holding a steady cruising speed, if you encounter slower vehicles ahead, active cruise control will, within the scope of given possibilities, adjust your vehicle's speed auto- matically so that you can flow with the traffic without having to make constant adjustments. If, for example, while cruising at the selected speed, you begin to approach a slower vehicle ahead of you in the same lane, the system will reduce your vehicle's speed to the same as that of the vehicle ahead to maintain your selected distance setting between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead. You can vary the distance, which is additionally speed-dependent. Based on your selected distance setting, the system automatically decreases the throttle setting and lightly applies the brakes if necessary. The vehi- cle brake lamps will automatically illuminate to signal a following driver to take action. In addi- tion, it may be necessary for the vehicle or the driver to downshift, depending on the kind of transmission your vehicle is equipped with, to maintain the distance setting selected. If the vehicle ahead speeds up or when the lane ahead becomes clear, your vehicle will acceler- ate to the speed you have selected by increas- ing the throttle setting and shifting gears auto- matically or by the driver as needed. Your selected speed will be held when driving down- hill, too.
Active cruise control is not and must not be used as a collision avoidance/warning
system.<
Since this active cruise control system is a new technology and operates differ-
ently from conventional cruise control systems which you may be accustomed to, you are strongly urged to read all of the pages relating to this system before use. Pay special attention to the information contained in the Things to know about active cruise control section begin- ning on page 71.<

Professional navigation system* If a navigation DVD is in the drive, refer to page 132, the system adjusts the accelerating and braking behavior of the vehicle to the road you are driving on.
To ensure that the system is informed of the current course of the road, always use
the latest navigation DVD if possible.< When the vehicle position is unknown, e.g. when you leave the map area, this influence of the navigation system is not available.
Brake pedal feel > When the system brakes and you also
depress the brake pedal, a somewhat differ- ent braking feeling results.
> Any noises produced during automatic
braking are normal.
Manual transmission You can shift with the cruise control activated. Shifting information is provided or the system deactivates itself if you drive at very high or very low engine speeds for a longer period.
SMG In the Sequential mode, shifting information is provided or the system deactivates itself if you drive at very high engine speeds for a longer period. In the Drive mode the SMG acts similarly to an automatic transmission in the D position.

The display 2 flashes yellow. Automatic intervention by ABS or DSC. The active cruise control intervenes by braking until you take over actively.
Heavy rain, dirt, snow or ice can restrict the detection of vehicles driving ahead. If neces- sary, clean the front radar sensor under the bumper. Exercise particular care when remov- ing snow and ice. If the sensor is not aligned properly, the active cruise control cannot be activated.
Things to know about active cruise control
As with conventional cruise control sys- tems, active cruise control in no way
diminishes or substitutes for the driver's own personal responsibility, alertness and aware- ness in adjusting speed, braking or otherwise controlling the vehicle. The driver should decide when to use the system on the basis of road, traffic, visibility, and weather conditions. Active cruise control is intended for use on highway-type roadways where traffic is moving relatively smoothly. Do not use this system in city driving; heavy traffic such as during rush hour; on curvy, winding roads, slippery roads or roads with sharp curves such as highway off- ramps; during inclement weather such as snow, strong rain or fog; or when entering inter- changes, service/parking areas or toll booths. It is also important to regulate your vehicle's
speed and distance setting within applicable legal limits. Always be ready to take action or apply the brakes if necessary, especially when the system is actively following a vehicle in front of you.<
Always remember that the range and abil- ity of the system does have physical limi- tations. It will not apply the brakes or decelerate your vehicle when there is a slow-moving vehi- cle, stopped vehicle or stationary object ahead of you, as for example, at a traffic light or a parked vehicle. Also, the system does not react to oncoming traffic, pedestrians or other types of potential traffic such as a rider on horseback. It is also possible that the system may not detect smaller moving objects such as motor- cycles or bicycles. Be especially alert when encountering any of these situations as the
71
g
system will neither automatically brake, nor pro- vide a warning to you. Also, be aware that every decrease in the distance setting allows your vehicle to come closer to a vehicle in front of you and requires a heightened amount of alert- ness.< If while your vehicle is actively following a vehi- cle in front of you and the vehicle ahead speeds up or the lane ahead becomes clear, then your vehicle will accelerate to the speed you have selected. Be aware that changing to a clear, unobstructed lane will also result in your vehicle accelerating.
Be certain to deactivate the system when you pull into an exit lane for a highway off-
ramp.< Also, vehicles traveling in a staggered manner on a highway may cause a delay in the system's reaction to a vehicle in front of you or may cause the system to react to a vehicle actually in the lane next to you. Always be ready to take action or apply the brakes if necessary. Active cruise control can only decelerate the vehicle to approx. 20 mph/30 km/h. If the sys- tem reduces vehicle speed below 20 mph/ 30 km/h or if DSC/ABS is engaged while driving, the system will automatically deactivate.
Remember, the system cannot stop your vehicle. In addition, the system is deacti- vated whenever the driver applies the vehicle brakes, shifts the transmission to neutral/N, or deactivates DSC. After any deactivation, the system will no longer automatically activate the vehicle brakes, which means the driver must intervene and resume manual braking. You should then reactivate the system only when you are fully aware of the prior speed and dis- tance settings.< Active cruise control may brake when you reduce the stored desired speed; however, the driver must constantly monitor traffic and inter- vene if necessary. When you switch off the engine or ignition, active cruise control is fully switched off, too, and any settings you have selected are can- celed.
72
Swerving vehicles
When a vehicle moves from an adjacent lane into your lane, active cruise control will not rec- ognize this vehicle until it is fully in your lane ahead of your vehicle.
Behavior in curves
Because of the limited range of the system, it is possible that in curves or on the peaks and val- leys of hilly roads, a vehicle ahead may be rec- ognized late, or not at all. Therefore, it is up to the driver to select a speed that is prudent in view of the curves and terrain of the roadway.
In approaching a curve, it is possible that active cruise control would react briefly to a vehicle in the adjacent lane. In addition, the system can sense if your vehicle is in a curve and may not accelerate. If your vehicle decelerates in either
case, you can choose to overcome the deceler- ation by briefly pressing the accelerator pedal.
Driver interventions
Anytime the driver presses down on the accelerator pedal, any automatic braking
action by the system is interrupted until the pedal is fully released. After doing this, release the accelerator and the system again controls your cruising speed and distance setting. While driving with the system activated, resting your foot on the accelerator pedal will cause the sys- tem not to brake even if necessary. Be certain that floor mats or other objects on the vehicle floor do not interfere with movement of the accelerator pedal.<
While active cruise control is capable of braking your vehicle automatically when
you approach a slower vehicle ahead, it is important to be aware that the ability of the sys- tem to apply the brakes is also limited, e.g. when you reduce your desired speed sharply. The system cannot stop your vehicle. It uses only a portion of braking system capacity and does not utilize the full capacity of the vehicle braking system. Therefore, the system cannot decrease your speed due to large differences in speed between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead. Example: when you approach a vehicle traveling at a much lower speed than your own speed, such as approaching a toll booth or when a much slower vehicle cuts in front of you at close range.<
