Driver assistance
Requirement: all additional functions require
adaptive cruise control to be active.
Overriding control
You can override control by the system complete-
ly, for example if you would like to pass another
vehicle or if you would like to accelerate faster.
» To accelerate manually, pull the lever toward
you in the direction of the arrow and hold it
there, or press the accelerator pedal.
» To resume the usual cruise control, release the
lever or remove your foot from the accelerator
pedal.
When you are in the Driver assistance display,
the message Overridden will appear.
Decreasing the distance
You can temporarily decrease the distance even
more, for example if you would like to merge into
another lane because of lane closures. In this sit-
uation, the adaptive cruise control will accelerate
above the set speed if necessary.
» To further reduce the distance to the vehicle
ahead temporarily, pull the lever toward your-
self in the direction of the arrow and hold it in
that position.
» To resume the system control, release the lev-
er.
The adaptive cruise control reduces the distance
and, if necessary, accelerates the vehicle above
the set speed. When you are in the Driver assis-
tance display, the message Overridden will ap-
pear.
