Cruise control system
Introduction
The cruise control system helps to
maintain a set speed.
Speed range
The cruise control system is available at speeds above approximately 20 km/h (approximately 15 mph) when driving forward.
Driving with the Cruise Control System
You can override the stored speed at any time, for example, to pass another vehicle. The regulation function is paused while the vehicle accelerates and then
resumes the stored speed.
Displays
If the cruise control system is switched on, the instrument cluster display indicates the saved speed and the status of the cruise control system.
The following indicator lights may turn on depending on the driving situation and the instrument cluster version:
Cruise control system is switched on, speed regulation active.
If the cruise control system is not regulating the speed, the indicator lights are small or grey.
If no speed is stored, the instrument cluster display shows
instead of the speed.
Driving downhill
The vehicle cannot maintain the saved speed in all driving situations. Always be ready to apply the brakes.
1. Use the electric drivetrain recuperation when traveling downhill for extended periods.
This relieves the strain on the brakes.
WARNING
If it is not possible to drive safely with enough distance and a constant speed, using the cruise control system may cause accidents and serious or fatal injuries.
Always adapt your speed and distance to vehicles driving ahead based on the visual, weather, road, and traffic conditions. The driver is always
responsible for the speed.
Never use the cruise control system when visibility is poor, when there is not enough distance, or when roads are steep, winding, flooded, or slippery, for
example from snow, ice, moisture, or gravel.
Never use the cruise control system when driving off-road or on unpaved roads.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Introduction
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
maintains your selected speed. When
the vehicle approaches a vehicle driving
ahead, the ACC adjusts the speed
automatically and maintains your set
distance to the vehicle driving ahead.
Does this vehicle have ACC?
The vehicle has ACC if you can adjust ACC settings in the Assistance systems menu in the Infotainment system.
Speed range
You can set a speed between approx. 20 km/h (approx. 15 mph) and approx. 150 km/h (approx. 95 mph).
Driving with ACC
You can override the ACC system at any time. The regulation function is canceled when you apply the brakes. When you accelerate, the regulation function is
paused while accelerating and then resumed with the speed set.
If a trailer is hitched, ACC is less dynamic.
Driver intervention request
If automatic deceleration by the ACC is not sufficient or the system limits are reached, the ACC will prompt you – with a message in the instrument cluster –
to also apply the brakes. The red warning light will also turn on and a warning tone will sound. Take over steering and be ready to brake.
