Fig. 131 Operating lever: setting the distance
• Ta p the switch to display the current set dis-
tance
¢fig. 131.
• To increase or reduce the distance in incre -
ments, tap the switch upward/downward
again. The d istance between the two vehicles
will change in the instr ument cluster disp lay.
When approaching a veh icle driving ahead, the
adaptive cru ise control system brakes to match
that vehicle's speed and then adjusts to the set
distance.
If the vehicle dr iving ahead accelerates ,
then the adaptive cruise control will also acceler-
ate up to the speed that you have set.
The higher the speed, the greate r the distance
c::;, ,&.. The Distan ce 3 setting is recommended.

That is equa l to the general recommendation of
"ha lf the speed shown on the spe edometer".
The distances provided are spec ified values . De-
pending on t he dr iving situation and how the
ve-
hicle ahead is driving, the actual distance may be
more or less than these target distances .
If you change the time gaps, the newly set value
appears brief ly in the instrument cluster display,
for example
II for Distan ce 3. This only occurs if
the adaptive cruise control is not currently shown
in the display
