The predictive cruise control function is
dependent on the equipment level and is not
available in all countries.
Reaction to the end of a traffic jam
Vehicles with V2X technology (depending on
vehicle equipment and not available in all
countries) interact with other vehicles in their
vicinity. As a result, your vehicle can be in-
formed about a traffic jam ahead and can re-
duce speed early on.
Prerequisites:
— V2X is activated in the Infotainment sys-
tem.
— The reaction to a road characteristic ahead
is activated in the Infotainment system
WARNING
The intelligent technology of predictive
cruise control cannot overcome the physi-
cal limits specified, and functions only
within the limits of the system. Never let
the extra convenience afforded by predic-
tive cruise control tempt you into taking
any safety risks. Careless or unintentional
use of predictive cruise control can cause
accidents and lead to serious injury. The
system is not a substitute for the full con-
centration of the driver.
·
Ensure that your speed is always appro-
priate for the current visibility, weather
and road/traffic conditions.
·
Always pay attention to the traffic situa-
tion and the area around the vehicle.
·
Be prepared to control the speed your-
self at all times. Malfunctions in the Dy-
namic Road Sign Display function and
out-of-date navigation data can lead to
the speed being changed unexpectedly
and suddenly or not being adapted to
the current traffic situation. Speeds
regulated by the system may also not
match your individual driving style.
·
Be prepared to control the speed your-
self at all times. If you are driving with-
out route guidance or leave the route
calculated by the navigation system or if
the vehicle position cannot be correctly
determined due to inexact GPS data, the
speed may be changed unexpectedly
and suddenly or not adapted to the cur-
rent traffic situation.
·
Keep the navigation data up-to-date.
·
Always observe the maximum speed
limit. The maximum speed limit may be
exceeded in the case of speed limits that
are not contained in the navigation data.
Please also observe the safety-relevant
information on ACC.
Limits of predictive cruise
control
Please refer to at the start of the chap-
In addition to the system limitations of the
Dynamic Road Sign Display function
→ page 25 and ACC, the predictive cruise
control function has the following additional,
system-related limitations:
— The predictive cruise control function de-
tects only road signs that show a speed
limit. In particular, predictive cruise con-
trol does not take into account any rights
of way or traffic lights.
— Road signs that indicate a speed limit indi-
rectly, e.g. place-name signs, will be de-
tected only on the basis of the navigation
data.
— Predictive cruise control is not available on
roads which are not recorded in the navi-
gation data or not recorded with sufficient
accuracy.
— If a speed limit is announced on the basis
of the navigation data but is not detected
by the Dynamic Road Sign Display func-
