advance over the familiar cruise control and is a welcome relief from the constant adjustment of speed that can accompany driving in traffic on highways or other high-speed thoroughfares. Especially on longer trips and in traffic conges- tion, 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 limits, adjust your vehicle's speed automatically so that you can flow with the traffic without having to make con- stant adjustments. If, for example, while cruis- ing 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. You can vary the following distance, which will vary with speed. Based on your selected distance setting, the system automatically decreases the throttle setting and lightly applies the brakes if necessary. In addition, if the vehicle ahead of you slows to a complete stop, the system can follow this action within the given scope and can also accelerate from a complete stop if the vehicle ahead of you drives off again shortly thereafter. During braking, your vehicle brake lamps will automatically illuminate to alert a fol- lowing driver to take action. In addition, it may be necessary for your vehicle to downshift the automatic transmission to maintain the dis- tance setting selected. As soon as the road in front of you has no moving vehicles, the system will accelerate to your desired speed. This set speed is also maintained on downhill grades, however the vehicle speed can drop below the set speed when driving uphill if the engine out- put is not sufficient.
Active cruise control cannot detect stop signs, red lights, or any object that is
stopped or is blocking the road. 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 differently from con- ventional cruise control systems to which you may be accustomed, it is necessary that you read all of the pages relating to this system before use. Carefully read and observe the information on the system limitations beginning on page 73 to obtain a good command of the system and its range of applications.<
Brake pedal feel When the system brakes and you also depress the brake pedal, a somewhat different braking feel results.
Professional navigation system* If the vehicle is equipped with a Professional navigation system, the system adapts the acceleration and deceleration behavior of the vehicle to the road on which you are currently driving.
To ensure that the system has the latest information on the course of the road, use
the most recent version of the navigation data.< If the vehicle position is unknown, e.g. if you have left the region covered by the map, the navigation system ceases to influence vehicle behavior.
Applications Please try the system first during sparse traffic and clear road conditions so that you can get used to the system. After you have experience and understand the system, only then use it during normal traffic. As with conventional cruise control systems, active cruise control in no way reduces or sub- stitutes for the driver's own personal experi- ence, responsibility, alertness and awareness in adjusting speed, braking or otherwise control- ling 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 as well as in slow-moving traffic con- gestion. Do not use the system in city driving; in complex driving situations; heavy traffic such as during rush hour; on curvy, winding roads, slip- pery roads or roads with sharp curves such as highway off-ramps; during inclement weather such as snow, strong rain or fog; or when enter- ing interchanges, 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

The system stores the current vehicle speed. It is indicated on the speedometer and briefly in the instrument panel.
Increasing the desired speed Press or tap the lever up to or beyond the resis- tance point, arrow 1, until the desired speed is displayed. The displayed speed is stored and the vehicle reaches the stored speed if the road is clear. > Each time the button is briefly pressed to
the resistance point, the desired speed increases by approx. 1 mph/1 km/h.
> Each time the button is briefly pressed
beyond the resistance point, the desired speed increases by a maximum of 5 mph/ 10 km/h.
Reducing the desired speed Pull the lever, arrow 2, until the desired speed is displayed. The functions are the same as those when increasing the desired speed.

action or apply the brakes if necessary, espe- cially when the system is actively following a vehicle in front of you. Otherwise, driving condi- tions can result which lead to a violation of the law or elevated risk of an accident. The minimum initial activation speed is 20 mph/ 30 km/h, and the maximum speed is 110 mph/ 180 km/h. However, you can also activate the system while stopped, refer to While standing, page 71.

Interrupting the system
Press the lever up or down and additionally depress the brake if the vehicle is stationary. The mark in the speedometer changes color and the distance indicator goes out. In addition, the system is interrupted: > When the brakes are applied > When transmission position D is disen-
gaged
> When DSC is activated > When the safety belt is unbuckled and the driver's door is opened while the vehicle is stationary
> When the system has not detected objects for an extended period, e.g. on a road with very little traffic without road edge mark- ings, or if the radar sensors are dirty, refer to page 72
If the system is interrupted, actively inter- vene by braking and, if necessary, with
evasive maneuvers; otherwise, there is the dan- ger of an accident occurring.<

Malfunction The system cannot be activated if the radar sensor is not aligned correctly. This may be
caused by damage incurred during parking, for example.
Detection range
For US owners only The transmitter and receiver units comply with part 15 of the FCC/Federal Communications Commission regulations. Operation is gov- erned by the following: FCC ID: > OAYARS3-A Compliance statement: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: > This device must not cause harmful inter-
ference, and
> This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Any unauthorized modifications or changes to these devices could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
System limits
Speed range Best results are achieved when using the sys- tem on well-developed roads and highways. The desired speed can be selected between 20 mph/30 km/h and 110 mph/180 km/h. The system can also be activated when station- ary. Comply with the legal speed limit in every situa- tion when using the system.
The detection capacity of the system and the automatic braking capacity are limited. For instance, two-wheeled vehicles driving ahead of you might not be detected.
Because of the limitations to the detec- tion capacity of the system, you should be
alert at all times so that you can intervene actively, if necessary; otherwise, there is the danger of an accident occurring.<
Deceleration The system does not decelerate when a sta- tionary obstacle is located in the same lane, e.g. a vehicle at a red traffic light or at the end of a traffic congestion. The system also does not respond to: > Pedestrians or similarly slow road users. > Red traffic lights. > Stationary objects. > Cross traffic. > Approaching traffic.
A warning might not be issued when approaching a stationary or very slow- moving obstacle. Take action yourself, other- wise there is a risk of an accident.<
73
Swerving vehicles
Cornering
If the desired speed is too high for a curve, the speed is reduced slightly in the curve, although curves cannot be anticipated in advance. Therefore, drive into a curve at an appropriate speed. In tight curves, situations may result due to the restricted detection range of the system in which a vehicle driving ahead of you may not be detected at all, or not until after a considerable delay.
A vehicle driving in front of you is not detected until it is completely within the same lane as your vehicle.
If a vehicle driving ahead of you suddenly swerves into your lane, the system may
not be able to automatically restore the selected distance. This also applies to major speed differences to vehicles driving ahead of you, e.g. when rapidly approaching a truck. When a vehicle driving ahead of you is reliably detected, the system requests that the driver intervene by braking and carrying out evasive maneuvers, if necessary. Take action yourself, otherwise there is a risk of an accident.<
Unexpected lane change
When approaching a curve, the system may react briefly to the vehicles in the next lane due to the bend of the curve. Any deceleration of the vehicle by the system can be compensated for by briefly accelerating. After the accelerator pedal is released, the system becomes active again and independently controls the speed.
Driving away In some situations, the vehicle cannot drive away automatically, e.g. on steep inclines, with a heavy trailer or behind bumps in the road.
Driver interventions and your responsibility
Anytime the driver presses down on the accelerator pedal, any braking action by
If a vehicle ahead of you unexpectedly moves into another lane from behind a stopped vehi- cle, you yourself must react, as the system does not react to stopped vehicles.
74
the system is interrupted and the distance indi- cator goes out until the pedal is fully released. As soon as you fully release the accelerator, the system will again control your cruising speed and distance setting. While driving with the sys- tem activated, resting your foot on the acceler- ator pedal will cause the system not to brake even if necessary. Be certain that floor mats or other objects on the vehicle floor do not inter- fere 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. It uses only a portion of braking system capacity and does not utilize the full capacity of the vehi- cle braking system. Therefore, the system can- not decrease your speed for large differences in speed between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead. Examples: 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.<

Technology for comfort, convenience and safety
PDC Park Distance Control*
The concept In addition to the PDC Park Distance Control, the rear view camera*, refer to page 93, can also be switched on. PDC assists you during parking. A slow approach to an object in front of or behind your vehicle is announced by: > Signal tones > Optical displays
Measurement Ultrasonic sensors in the bumpers carry out the measurement. Their range is approx. 7 ft/2 m. The acoustic warning begins: > At approx. 24 in/60 cm for the front* sen-
sors and the two rear corner sensors.
> At approx. 5 ft/1.50 m for the middle sen-
sors in the rear.
System limitations
PDC cannot replace the personal assess- ment of the traffic situation. Also make a direct visual check of the traffic situation around the vehicle. Otherwise, there could be a risk of accident, for example due to other road users or objects outside the detection range of PDC. Loud sources of sound, inside and outside the vehicle, could drown out the PDC signal tone.< Avoid approaching an object too quickly. Avoid starting off quickly while PDC is not
yet activated. Otherwise, physical circumstances could cause the system to issue a warning late.<
88
Limitations of ultrasonic measurement The detection of objects can come up against the limitations of physical ultrasonic measure- ment, for example: > When using tow bars and towing hitches > In the presence of thin or wedge-shaped
objects
> In the presence of low objects > In the presence of objects with corners and
sharp edges
Low objects that have already been displayed, e.g. curbs, can disappear again from the detec- tion area of the sensors before or after a contin- uous tone sounds. Higher, protruding objects, e.g. ledges, cannot be detected.
False warnings Under the following conditions, PDC may dis- play a warning even though no obstacle is present in the detection range: > In heavy rain > When the sensors are heavily soiled or iced-
over
> When the sensors are covered with snow > On rough road surfaces > In large, rectangular buildings with smooth
walls, e.g. underground garages > In the presence of heavy exhaust > Due to the presence of other ultrasonic sources such as street sweepers, steam cleaners, or neon lamps.
Automatic activation With the engine running or the ignition switched on, shift the selector lever into position R.
Automatic deactivation The system switches off and the LED goes out:
> After approx. 165 ft/50 m when driving for-
ward
> At speeds over approx. 25 mph/35 km/h
when driving forward
Switch the system back on as needed.
Volume You can adjust the volume of the signal tone, refer to page 87. The setting is stored for the remote control cur- rently in use.
Switching on/off manually
Optical warning The approach to an object can be shown on the Control Display. Objects that are farther away are displayed on the Control Display before a signal tone sounds.
Press the button. > On: LED lights up > Off: LED goes out
Signal tones When nearing an object, the position is corre- spondingly indicated by an interval tone. Thus, an object detected to the left rear of the vehicle will be indicated by a signal tone from the left rear speaker, etc. The shorter the distance to the object becomes, the shorter the intervals become. If the distance to the nearest object falls to below roughly 1 ft/30 cm, then a continuous
