Adaptive cruise control -
____________ __._ __ _
• A red vehicle is shown in the instrument cluster display
~ page 124, fig. 117.
• The text DISTANCE! appears in the status line .
• The indicator light in the I nstrument cluster blinks red .
• A warning tone sounds.
[I) Tips
• If the adaptive cruise control initiates brak ing, the hydraulic brake
system is under pressure . Therefore, the brake pedal distance is
shorter and the pedal "feels" harder .
• Adaptive cruise control is switched off after pressing the foot-
brake . The speed saved up this point can be resumed.
• To resume the saved speed, release the brake pedal and press the
control lever ~
page 118, "Turning adaptive cruise control off
temporarily ".
• If you use the accelerator to go faster than the speed of the object
ahead of you, the
driver intervention prompt w ill not be accompa-
nied by a warn ing signal.
• If the speed you previously set is exceeded, the indicator light in
the speedometer will switch off. •

General information
Some driving situations which affect the function of the
radar sensor are described below .
When driving, the adapt ive cruise contro l is governed by physical and
system-specified limits. Also, under certain circumstances, the ACC
system may react unexpectedly or late from the dr iver's point of view.
Therefore, always be attentive and intervene, if necessary:
• when driving around curves ~
pag e 126
• when vehicles in front are not in li ne with your vehicle ~ page 126
• when other vehicles are changing lanes~ page 126
• when other vehicles are difficult to detect ~ page 127.
& WARNING
The radar sensor's vision can be reduced by rain, snow and heavy
spray. This can result in vehicles driving ahead being inadequately
detected or, in some circumstances, not detected at all. If neces-
sary, take action yourself! •
