왔 Driving systems The driving systems of your vehicle are de- scribed on the following pages: 앫 Cruise control, with which the vehicle

can maintain a preset speed.

앫 Parktronic* (CLK 63 AMG (USA),

Canada all vehicles), which serves as a parking assistant.

For information on the BAS, ABS, and ESP®, see “Driving safety systems” (컄 page 90).

Cruise control

Cruise control automatically maintains the speed you set for your vehicle. Use of cruise control is recommended for driving at a constant speed for extended periods of time. You can set or resume cruise control at any speed over 20 mph (30 km/h). The cruise control function is operated by means of the cruise control lever. The cruise control lever is the uppermost lever on the left-hand side of the steering column (컄 page 26).

Controls in detail Driving systems

Warning!

Cruise control is a convenience system de- signed to assist the driver during vehicle op- eration. The driver is and must always remain responsible for the vehicle’s speed and for safe brake operation.

Only use cruise control if the road, traffic and weather conditions make it advisable to travel at a steady speed. 앫 The use of cruise control can be danger- ous on winding roads or in heavy traffic because conditions do not allow safe driving at a steady speed.

앫 The use of cruise control can be danger- ous on slippery roads. Rapid changes in tire traction can result in wheel spin and loss of control.

앫 Deactivate cruise control when driving

in fog.

The “Resume” function should only be oper- ated if the driver is fully aware of the previ- ously set speed and wishes to resume this particular preset speed.

1 Set current or higher speed 2 Set current or lower speed 3 Cancel cruise control 4 Resume to last set speed

Warning!

Cruise control brakes automatically so that the set speed is not exceeded. The brake pedal depresses when the cruise control en- gages the brakes.

268

Keep driver’s foot area clear at all times, in- cluding the area under the brake pedal. Ob- jects stored in this area may impair pedal movement which could interfere with the braking ability of the cruise control system.

Do not place your foot under the brake pedal - your foot could become caught.

Keep in mind that cruise control is a conve- nience system designed to assist the driver during vehicle operation. The driver is and must always remain responsible for the ve- hicle’s speed and for safe brake operation.

Setting current speed 왘 Accelerate or decelerate to the desired

speed.

왘 Briefly lift 1 or depress 2 the cruise

control lever. The current speed is set.

왘 Remove your foot from the accelerator

pedal. Cruise control is activated.

The selected speed appears in the multi- function display for approximately five sec- onds, and the corresponding speedometer segments from the selected speed to the vehicle maximum speed are illuminated.

i On uphill or downhill grades, cruise control may not be able to maintain the set speed. Once the grade eases, the set speed will be resumed. On downhill grades, the cruise control will hold the set speed with braking from the vehicle’s brake system. In addition, on longer downhill grades the auto- matic transmission will automatically downshift.

Canceling cruise control There are several ways to cancel cruise control: 왘 Step on the brake pedal.

Cruise control is canceled. The last speed set is stored for later use.

or 왘 Briefly push the cruise control lever to

position 3. Cruise control is canceled. The last speed set is stored for later use.

i The last stored speed is canceled when you turn off the engine.

i Cruise control automatically switched off, if 앫 you step on the brake pedal. 앫 you press the parking brake pedal.

In this case the segments in the multifunc- tion display (컄 page 268) go out and no warning sounds.

앫 the vehicle speed is below 20 mph

(30 km/h).

앫 ESP® is in operation or switched off with the

ESP® switch (컄 page 94).

앫 you move the gear selector lever in

position N while driving.

The segments in the multifunction display (컄 page 268) go out, and an acoustic warning sounds.

! Moving gear selector lever to position N while driving also cancels cruise control. Howev- er, the gear selector lever should not be moved to position N while driving except to coast when the vehicle is in danger of skidding (e.g. on icy roads).

i Depressing the accelerator pedal does not deactivate cruise control. After brief accelera- tion (e.g. for passing), cruise control will resume the last speed set.

Parktronic system (Parking assist)*, CLK 63 AMG (USA), Canada all models

Warning!

Warning!

Make sure no persons or animals are in the area in which you are maneuvering. You could otherwise injure them.

Parktronic is a supplemental system. It is not intended to, nor does it replace, the need for extreme care. The responsibility during parking and other critical maneuvers always remains with the driver.

Interference caused by other ultrasonic sig- nals (e.g. working jackhammers, car wash, or the air brakes of trucks) can cause the system to send erratic indications, and should be taken into consideration.

! Special attention must be paid to objects with smooth surfaces or low silhouettes (e.g. trailer couplings, painted posts, elevated cross- bars or road curbs). Such objects may not be de- tected by the system and can damage the vehicle.

! The operational function of the Parktronic system can be affected by dirty sensors, espe- cially at times of snow and ice. Make sure that the area on the bumpers around the sensors is free of dirt, ice and/or slush, oth- erwise Parktronic may not function properly, see “Cleaning the Parktronic system* sensors (CLK 63 AMG (USA), Canada all vehicles)” (컄 page 372). The Parktronic system is an electronic aid designed to assist the driver during park- ing maneuvers. It visually and audibly indi- cates the relative distance between the vehicle and an obstacle. The Parktronic system is automatically ac- tivated when you switch on the ignition (컄 page 38) and placed the gear selector lever in position D, R, or N.

Controls in detail Driving systems

The Parktronic system deactivates at speeds over approximately 11 mph (18 km/h). At lower speeds the Parktronic system turns on again. The Parktronic system also deactivates when you place the gear selector lever in position P. The Parktronic system monitors the sur- roundings of your vehicle with six sensors in the front bumper and four sensors in the rear bumper.

1 Sensors in the front bumper

271

Controls in detail Driving systems

Range of the sensors To function properly, the sensors must be free of dirt, ice, snow and slush. Clean the sensors regularly, being careful not to scratch or damage the sensors, see “Cleaning the Parktronic system* sensors (CLK 63 AMG (USA), Canada all vehicles)” (컄 page 372).

272

! During parking maneuvers, pay special at- tention to objects located above or below the height of the sensors (e.g. planters or trailer hitches). The Parktronic system will not detect such objects at close range and damage to your vehicle or the object may result. Ultrasonic signals from outside sources (e.g. truck air brakes, car wash, or jackhammers) may impair the operation of the Parktronic system.

Minimum distance

Center Corners

Warning!

When programming a garage door opener, park outside the garage.

Before programming the integrated remote control to a garage door opener or gate operator, make sure people and objects are out of the way of the device to prevent po- tential harm or damage. When programming a garage door opener, the door moves up or down. When programming a gate operator, the gate opens or closes.

Do not use the integrated remote control with any garage door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as required by U.S. federal safety standards (this includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door that cannot detect an object – signaling the door to stop and reverse – does not meet current U.S. federal safety standards.

Do not run the engine while programming the integrated remote control. Inhalation of exhaust gas is hazardous to your health. All exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide (CO), and inhaling it can cause unconscious- ness and possible death.

Programming the integrated remote control Step 1: 왘 Switch on the ignition (컄 page 40). Step 2: 왘 If you have previously programmed a signal transmitter button and wish to retain its programming, proceed to step 3. If you are programming the integrated remote control for the first time, press and hold the two outer signal transmit- ter buttons 2 and 4 and release them only when indicator lamp 1

begins to flash after approximately 20 seconds (do not hold the button for longer than 30 seconds). This proce- dure erases any previous settings for all three channels and initializes the memory. If you later wish to program a second and/or third hand-held transmitter to the remaining two signal transmitter buttons, do not repeat this step and be- gin directly with step 3.

Step 3: 왘 Hold the end of hand-held remote

control 5 of the device you wish to train approximately 2 to 5 inches (5 to12 cm) away from the signal trans- mitter button (2, 3 or 4) to be pro- grammed, while keeping indicator lamp 1 in view.

Step 4: 왘 Using both hands, simultaneously

press hand-held remote control button 6 and the desired signal trans-

mitter button (2, 3 or 4). Do not release the buttons until step 5 is com- pleted. Indicator lamp 1 will flash, first slowly and then rapidly.

i Indicator lamp 1 flashes immediately the first time the signal transmitter button is pro- grammed. If this button has already been pro- grammed, the indicator lamp will only start flashing after 20 seconds.

Step 5: 왘 After indicator lamp 1 changes from a slow to a rapidly flashing light, release the hand-held remote control button and the signal transmitter button.

Step 6: 왘 Press and hold the just-trained signal transmitter button (2, 3 or 4) and observe indicator lamp 1.

Rolling code programming To train a garage door opener (or other rolling code devices) with the rolling code feature, follow these instructions after completing the “Programming” portion (steps 1 through 6) of this text. (A second person may make the following training procedures quicker and easier.) Step 8: 왘 Locate “training” button on the garage

door opener motor head unit. Exact location and color of the button may vary by garage door opener brand. Depending on manufacturer, the “training” button may also be referred to as “learn” or “smart” button. If there is difficulty locating the transmitting button, refer to the garage door opener Operator’s Manual.

Step 9: 왘 Press the “training” button on the ga-

rage door opener motor head unit. The “training light” is activated.

304

You have 30 seconds to initiate the following step. Step 10: 왘 Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for 2 seconds and release the pro- grammed signal transmitter button (2, 3 or 4).

Step 11: 왘 Press, hold for 2 seconds and release same signal transmitter button a sec- ond time to complete the training process.

i Some garage door openers (or other rolling code equipped devices) may require you to press, hold for 2 seconds and release the same signal transmitter button a third time to com- plete the training process.

Step 12: 왘 Confirm the garage door operation by pressing the programmed signal trans- mitter button (2, 3 or 4).

Step 13: 왘 To program the remaining two signal transmitter buttons, repeat the steps above starting with step 3.

Gate operator/Canadian programming Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter signals to “time-out” (or quit) after several seconds of transmission which may not be long enough for the integrated signal transmitter to pick up the signal during programming. Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are designed to “time-out” in the same manner. If you live in Canada or if you are having difficulties programming a gate operator (regardless of where you live) by using the programming procedures, replace step 4 with the following:

Step 4: 왘 Press and hold the signal transmitter button (2, 3 or 4). Do not release this button until it has been successful- ly trained.

왘 While still holding down the signal transmitter button (2, 3 or 4), “cycle” your hand-held remote control button 6 as follows: Press and hold button 6 for 2 seconds, then release it for 2 seconds, and again press and hold it for 2 seconds. Repeat this se- quence on the hand-held remote con- trol until the frequency signal has been learned. Upon successful training, indi- cator lamp 1 will flash slowly and then rapidly after several seconds.

왘 Proceed with programming step 5 and

step 6 to complete.

i Upon completion of programming the inte- grated remote control, make sure you retain the hand-held remote control that came with the ga- rage door opener, gate operator or other device. You may need it for use in other vehicles, for fu- ture programming of an integrated remote con- trol, or simply for continued use as a hand-held remote control to operate the respective device in other situations.

Reprogramming a single signal trans- mitter button To program a device using a signal trans- mitter button previously trained, follow these steps: 왘 Switch on the ignition (컄 page 40). 왘 Press and hold the desired signal transmitter button (2, 3 or 4). Do not release the button.

왘 Indicator lamp 1 will begin to flash af- ter 20 seconds. Without releasing the signal transmitter button, proceed with programming starting with step 3.
