Driving systems
Overview of driving systems
The driving systems of your vehicle are
described on the following pages:
R
cruise control and SPEEDTRONIC, which
you can use to control the speed of the
vehicle
R
PARKTRONIC, which assists you in parking
and manoeuvring
R
reversing camera, which assists you when
parking
Driving safety systems such as ABS, BAS and
ESP
®
are described in the "Driving safety sys-
tems” section (Y page 45).
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 select shift range
1, 2 or 3 in good time. By doing so, 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.
G
Risk of accident
Do not change down for additional engine
braking on a slippery road surface. This could
cause the drive wheels to lose their grip and
the vehicle could skid.
Use cruise control only if road and traffic con-
ditions make it appropriate to maintain a
steady speed for a prolonged period. You can
store any road speed above 30 km/h.
G
Risk of accident
Cruise control cannot take account of road
and traffic conditions.
Always pay attention to traffic conditions
even when cruise control is activated.
Cruise control is only an aid designed to assist
driving. You are responsible for the vehicle's
speed and for braking in good time.
G
Risk of accident
Do not use cruise control:
R
in road and traffic conditions which do not
allow you to maintain a constant speed (e.g.
heavy traffic or winding roads). You could
otherwise cause an accident.
R
on slippery roads. Braking or accelerating
could cause the drive wheels to lose trac-
tion and the vehicle could then skid.
R
when there is poor visibility, e.g. due to fog,
heavy rain or snow
