Driving systems

can use to control the speed of the vehicle
R
Parktronic*, which assists you in parking
and manoeuvring
The ABS, BAS and ESP
®
driving safety sys-
tems are described in the "Driving safety sys-
tems" section (
Y
page 50).
Cruise control
Cruise control maintains a constant road
speed for you. It brakes automatically in order
to avoid exceeding the set speed. On long and
steep downhill gradients, especially if the
vehicle is laden, you must shift to a lower gear
in good time or select shift range 1, 2 or 3 in
vehicles with automatic transmission*. In this
way you will make use of the braking effect of
the engine, which relieves the load on the
brake system and prevents the brakes from
overheating and wearing too quickly.
Controls
* optional
