Collision warnings
If a collision warning is given, a yellow event
window with the
·
symbol appears in the
on-board computer. A double warning tone
also sounds. The event window is displayed for
as long as the hazardous situation persists.
If a collision warning appears in the on-board
computer when the vehicle is in motion:
X
Pay particular attention to the traffic situa-
tion.
X
Slow down the vehicle using the service
brake.
If you depress the accelerator pedal or indi-
cate a turn, the collision warning tone is sup-
pressed.
Overtaking
It is possible to exceed the set speed, e.g.
when overtaking:
X
Maintain a sufficient distance to the vehicle
in front.
X
Depress the accelerator pedal.
X
When the overtaking maneuver is finished,
release the accelerator pedal again.
The distance control assistant adjusts the
speed to the set speed.

tions under "Active Brake Assist"
(

Deactivating
The speed remains stored if you deactivate the
distance control assistant.

Under "Functions and switch on conditions",
observe the conditions listed that lead to auto-
matic deactivation of the distance control
assistant (
Y
page 125).
Speed tolerance in the driving sys-
tems
The speed tolerance defines for cruise control
and for the distance control assistant by how
much the set speed may be exceeded. The
speed tolerance helps to better utilize momen-
tum from downhill gradients and thus save
fuel.
The speed tolerance can be set to between 1
and 9 mph (2 and 15 km/h).
If you set the speed tolerance to between 2
and 9 mph (4 and 15 km/h) the value remains
saved even after you restart the engine.
The on-board computer shows the speed toler-
ance alongside the set speed, e.g.
30 miles/h
30 miles/h
+6
. When cruise control or the dis-
tance control assistant is activated, the speed
limiter brakes the vehicle by 2 mph (4 km/h)
by applying the continuous brake, regardless
of the set speed tolerance.
