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.

Depending on the national-market version,
road signs with supplementary signs, for ex-

account and compared with the vehicle's on-
board data, for example, the windscreen wiper

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.

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.

Camera behind the windscreen.
Front radar sensor.

well-constructed roads.
When quickly approaching stationary ve-
hicles.
The maximum speed which can be set is limi-
ted and depends on the vehicle and its equip-
ment, for example.
There is a danger of injury or danger to life.
Observe the traffic situation and intervene
actively if the situation warrants it.

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.
