

Loss of traction of the front

wheels, which can lead to

understeering.

When VSC is deactivated, driv-

ing stability is reduced during

acceleration and when driving in

curves.
To increase vehicle stability,

activate VSC again as soon as

possible.

When VSC is deactivated, VSC

OFF is displayed in the instru-

ment cluster.

Safety information

WARNING

The system cannot serve as a

substitute for the driver’s personal

judgment in assessing the traffic

conditions. Based on the limits of

the system, it cannot inde-

pendently react to all traffic situa-

tions. There is a risk of accident.

Adjust driving style to traffic condi-

tions. Watch traffic closely and

actively intervene where appropri-

ate.

WARNING

When driving with a roof load, for

instance with roof-mounted lug-

gage rack, the vehicle's center of

gravity is higher, which increases

the risk of the vehicle tipping in

critical driving situations. There is

a risk of accidents or risk of dam-

age to property. Do not deactivate

VSC Vehicle Stability Control Sys-

tem when driving with roof load.



When entering a curve at an
excessively high rate of speed

In this case, even if the VSC oper-
ates, it cannot operate sufficiently
to avoid a possible dangerous situ-
ation. The driver is solely responsi-
ble for understanding their
surroundings and driving at a safe
speed.

Traction mode is a version of the
VSC Vehicle Stability Control
System where forward momen-
tum is optimized.

The system ensures maximum
headway on special road condi-
tions or loose road surfaces, for
instance unplowed snowy
roads, but with somewhat lim-
ited driving stability.

When Traction mode is acti-
vated, the vehicle has maximum
traction. Driving stability is lim-
ited during acceleration and
when driving in curves.

You may find it useful to briefly
activate Traction mode in the
following situations:



When driving in slush or on
uncleared, snow-covered
roads.



When driving off from deep
snow or loose ground.



When driving with snow
chains.

The active differential step-

WARNING

The use of the system can lead to

●

On winding roads.

●

In heavy traffic.

●

On slippery roads, in fog, snow,

or wet conditions, or on a loose

road surface.

There is a risk of accidents or risk

of damage to property. Only use

the system if driving at constant

speed is possible.

WARNING

The desired speed can be incor-

rectly adjusted or called up by

mistake. There is a risk of an acci-

dent. Adjust the desired speed to

the traffic conditions. Watch traf-

fic closely and actively intervene

vehicle to accelerate more rapidly.

An interrupted cruise control can
be continued by calling up the
stored speed.

Make sure that the difference
between current speed and
stored speed is not too large
before calling up the stored
speed. Otherwise, unintentional
braking or accelerating may
occur.

Cruise control is continued with
the stored values.

In the following cases, the
stored speed value is deleted
and cannot be called up again:



When the system is switched
off.



When drive-ready state is
switched off.

With the proper equipment, the
value of the selected speed is
briefly displayed digitally.

Some system information can
also be displayed in the
Head-up Display.

The desired speed is also main-
tained downhill.

The speed may not be main-

: if equipped

Using this system, a desired

speed and a distance to a vehi-

cle ahead can be adjusted using

the buttons on the steering

wheel.
The system maintains the

desired speed on clear roads.

For this purpose, the vehicle

accelerates or brakes automati-

cally.
If a vehicle is driving ahead of

you, the system adjusts the

speed of your vehicle so that the

set distance to the vehicle

ahead is maintained. The speed

is adjusted as far as the given

situation allows.

Depending on the vehicle set-

tings, the characteristics of the

Cruise Control may change.
The distance can be adjusted in

several steps. For safety rea-

sons, it depends on the respec-

tive speed.
If the vehicle ahead of you

brakes to a halt, and then pro-

ceeds to drive again within a

brief period, the system is able

to detect this within the given

system limits.

WARNING

The system cannot serve as a

substitute for the driver’s personal

judgment in assessing the traffic

conditions. Based on the limits of

the system, it cannot inde-

pendently react to all traffic situa-

tions. There is a risk of accident.

Adjust driving style to traffic condi-

tions. Watch traffic closely and

actively intervene where apaprk-

ing sensorspropriate.

WARNING

An unsecured vehicle can begin

to move and possibly roll away.

There is a risk of an accident.

Before exiting, secure the vehicle

against rolling.
In order to ensure that the vehicle

is secured against rolling away,

follow the following:

●

Set the parking brake.

●

On uphill grades or on a down-

hill slope, turn the front wheels

in the direction of the curb.

●

On uphill grades or on a down-

hill slope, also secure the vehi-

cle, for instance with a wheel

chock.

WARNING

The desired speed can be incor-

rectly adjusted or called up by

mistake. There is a risk of an acci-

dent. Adjust the desired speed to

the traffic conditions. Watch traf-

fic closely and actively intervene

where appropriate.

3-1. CONTROLS

The system is controlled by the

following sensors:

• Cameras behind the wind-

shield.

• Front radar sensor.
Additional information:

Sensors of the vehicle, refer to

page 40.

The system is best used on

well-constructed roads.
The system is functional at

speeds beginning at approx. 20

mph/30 km/h.
The maximum speed that can

be set is limited and, e.g.,

depends on the vehicle and the

vehicle equipment version.
The system can also be acti-

vated when stationary.

WARNING

Risk of accident due to too high

speed differences to other vehi-

cles, for instance in the following

situations:

●

When fast approaching a slowly

moving vehicle.

There is a risk of injuries or dan-

ger to life. Watch traffic closely

and actively intervene where

appropriate.

●

Vehicle suddenly swerving into

own lane.

●

When fast approaching stand-

ing vehicles.

3-1. CONTROLS

The detection capacity of the
system and the automatic brak-
ing capacity are limited.

Two-wheeled vehicles for
instance might not be detected.

The system does not decelerate
in the following situations:



For pedestrians or similarly
slow-moving road users.



For red traffic lights.



For cross traffic.



For oncoming traffic.

If a vehicle driving ahead of you
suddenly swerves into your

lane, the system may not be
able to automatically restore the
selected distance. It may not be
possible to restore the selected
distance in certain situations,
including if you are driving sig-
nificantly faster than vehicles
driving ahead of you, for
instance when rapidly approach-
ing a truck. When a vehicle driv-
ing ahead of you is reliably
detected, the system requests
that the driver intervene by brak-
ing and carrying out evasive
maneuvers, if needed.

When the desired speed is too
high for a curve, the speed is
reduced slightly. Because
curves may not be anticipated in
advance, drive into a curve at an
appropriate speed.

The system has a limited detec-
tion range. Situations can arise
in tight curves where a vehicle
driving ahead will not be
detected or will be detected very
late.

When you approach a curve the
system may briefly report vehi-
cles in the next lane due to the
bend of the curve. If the system
decelerates you may compen-
sate it by briefly accelerating.
After releasing the accelerator
pedal the system is reactivated
and controls speed inde-
pendently.

In some situations, the vehicle
cannot drive off automatically;
for example:



On steep uphill grades.



From bumps in the road.

In these cases, step on the
accelerator pedal.

The following restrictions can
occur under unfavorable
weather or light conditions:



Poorer vehicle recognition.



Short-term interruptions for
vehicles that are already rec-
ognized.

Drive attentively, and react to
the current traffic situation. If
necessary, intervene actively,
for instance by braking, steering
or evading.

The desired speed is also main-
tained downhill. The speed may
not be maintained on uphill
grades if the engine power is
insufficient.

When the systems in the vehicle
e.g., Speed Limit Info, detect a
change of the speed limit along
the route, this new speed value
ca be applied for the following
systems:



Manual Speed Limiter.



Cruise Control.



Dynamic radar cruise control
with full-speed range.

The speed value is suggested
as the new desired speed to be
applied. To apply the speed
value, the corresponding system
must be activated.
