Speed limit warning

Principle

The speed limit warning can be used to set a

speed limit. A warning will be issued when this

speed limit is exceeded.

Speed Limit Display with

no-overtaking indicator

General

The warning is repeated if the set speed limit

is exceeded again after dropping below it by

5 km/h/3 mph.

Speed Limit Info

Principle

Activating/deactivating the speed

limit warning

Speed Limit Info shows the currently valid

speed limit in the instrument cluster and, if

necessary, the Head-up display and possibly

supplementary signs.

cable, or ignored, depending on the situation.

Some supplementary signs are taken into ac-

count in the speed limit evaluation, but are not

displayed in the instrument cluster.

▷

In countries where overtaking restrictions

are primarily shown by road markings.

▷

On routes without road signs.

In the case of railway crossings, lane mark-

ings and other situations which indicate

an overtaking restriction but which are not

signposted to this effect.

The system may also show speed limits that

apply to routes that are not marked if the navi-

gation system has current map data.

Depending on the equipment, an additional

icon with distance information may also be dis-

played to indicate the end of the no-overtaking

indicator.

In order for Speed Limit Info to function cor-

rectly, the current map data must be installed

for the country in which the vehicle is operated.

For information on the current map version

and map update, see Map update in the chap-

ter Navigation system.

Safety information

Speed limits for trailer operation are displayed

when the trailer socket is occupied or when the

trailer operation has been activated via iDrive.

WARNING

The system does not relieve you of your per-

sonal responsibility to assess the traffic situa-

tion correctly. Due to system limits, it cannot

respond independently and appropriately in

all traffic situations. There is a risk of acci-

dent. Adapt your driving style to the traffic

conditions. Observe the traffic situation, be

ready to take over steering and braking at

any time, and actively intervene if the situa-

tion warrants it.

Depending on the equipment, an approved

maximum speed can be set up for trailer oper-

ation, which will be taken into account for the

display of speed limits.

tainment, Communication, see page 6.

No-overtaking indicator

Sensors

The system is controlled by the camera behind

the windscreen.

Principle

Overtaking restriction signs and end of restric-

tion signs which have been detected by the

camera are indicated by corresponding icons

in the instrument cluster and, if applicable, the

Head-up display.

Displaying Speed Limit Info

General

The Speed Limit Info can be shown or hidden

via iDrive in the instrument cluster. Depending

on the national-market version, Speed Limit

Info is continuously displayed in the instrument

cluster.

General

The system considers overtaking restrictions

and ends of restrictions that are indicated by

means of road signs.

information can also be displayed in the Head-

Visual warning

The indicator light in the instrument

cluster flashes as long as the vehicle

is travelling above the set speed limit.

Cruise Control

Principle

Acoustic warning

Cruise Control allows a set speed to be speci-

fied using the buttons on the steering wheel.

The set speed is then maintained by the sys-

tem. It does this by automatically accelerating

and braking the vehicle as necessary.

▷

A warning sounds if you inadvertently ex-

ceed the set speed limit.

▷

If the speed limit is reduced to below the

current speed during the journey, the signal

sounds after a little time.

▷

No signal sounds if you intentionally exceed

the speed limit by fully pressing the acceler-

ator pedal.

General

The system can be activated starting at

30 km/h/20 mph.

Depending on the vehicle setting, the char-

acteristics of Cruise Control may change in

certain areas; for example, acceleration may

change depending on the drive mode.

Safety information

The set speed is also maintained when driving

downhill. The vehicle may not achieve the set

speed on uphill gradients if there is not enough

drive power.

WARNING

The system does not relieve you of your per-

sonal responsibility to assess the traffic situa-

tion correctly. Due to system limits, it cannot

respond independently and appropriately in

all traffic situations. There is a risk of acci-

dent. Adapt your driving style to the traffic

conditions. Observe the traffic situation, be

ready to take over steering and braking at

any time, and actively intervene if the situa-

tion warrants it.

Depending on the drive mode, it is possible

that the vehicle will drive faster or slower than

the set speed setting in some situations; for

example, on downhill or uphill gradients.

Distance control

Principle

With the distance control, a distance to a vehi-

cle driving ahead can be set in addition to the

Cruise Control.

WARNING

An unsecured vehicle can start moving and

roll away. There is a risk of accident. Before

leaving the vehicle, secure the vehicle against

rolling away.

General

When the road ahead is clear, the system

maintains the set speed. The vehicle acceler-

ates or brakes automatically.

Observe the following to ensure that the vehi-

cle is secured against rolling away:

If there is a vehicle driving in front, the sys-

tem adapts the speed of your vehicle in order

to maintain the set distance from the vehicle

ahead. The speed is adapted as far as the

given situation allows.

▷

Apply the parking brake.

Turn the front wheels towards the kerb

on uphill or downhill gradient.

▷

Additionally secure the vehicle on uphill

or downhill gradient, for example with a

chock.

The distance can be set in several stages and

for safety reasons is dependent on the respec-

tive speed.

If the vehicle ahead brakes to a standstill and

drives off again shortly afterwards, the system

is able to comprehend this as far as given con-

ditions allow.

WARNING

The set speed may be set incorrectly by mis-

take or called up accidentally. There is a risk

of accident. Adjust the set speed to the traffic

conditions. Observe the traffic situation and

intervene actively if the situation warrants it.

Otherwise, independent drive-off, for example,

by stepping on the accelerator pedal or by

pressing the button for the speed setting on

the steering wheel.

WARNING

The system is controlled using the following

There is a risk of accident if the difference in

speed relative to other vehicles is too great.

This may occur, for example, in the following

situations:

Camera behind the windscreen.

Front radar sensor.

Deceleration

The system does not decelerate in the

following situations:

The system has a restricted detection range.

Situations can arise on tight bends where a

vehicle driving in front will not be detected or

will be detected very late.

▷

For pedestrians or similarly slow road

users.

▷

Depending on the equipment, at red traffic

lights.

▷

For crossing traffic.

For oncoming vehicles.

Vehicles cutting in

When your vehicle is approaching a bend, the

curvature may cause the system to respond

temporarily to vehicles in the other lane. If the

system responds by decelerating the vehicle,

you may compensate for this by accelerating

briefly. When the accelerator pedal is released

again, the system will resume control of the

vehicle's speed.

If another vehicle suddenly cuts in front of you,

the system might not be able to restore the se-

lected distance automatically. In some circum-

stances, it may also not be possible to restore

the selected distance if you are driving signifi-

cantly faster than vehicles in front, for example

when rapidly approaching a lorry. If a vehicle

is clearly detected in front of you, the system

prompts you to intervene by braking, and if

necessary by taking avoidance manoeuvre.

Driving off

The vehicle cannot drive off automatically in

some situations, for example:

▷

On steep upward gradients.

Before bumps or rises in the road.

When towing a heavy trailer.

In such cases, press the accelerator pedal.

Weather

In adverse weather and lighting conditions,

system functionality may be limited as follows:

▷

Impaired detection of vehicles.

vene actively, for example by braking, steering

or taking avoidance manoeuvre.

If the set speed is too high for cornering, it will

be reduced slightly in the bend. However, since
