Indicator light
The Cruise Control status is also dis-
played with the indicator light on the in-
strument cluster. The indicator light il-
luminates green when the system is activated.
Displays in the Head-up display
Depending on vehicle equipment, some speed
control system information can also be dis-
played on the Head-up display.
System limits
Depending on the drive mode or drive power,
the vehicle may exceed or drop below the set
desired speed in some situations, e.g., when
driving uphill or downhill.
Distance control
Principle
With the distance control, a distance to a vehi-
cle driving ahead can be adjusted in addition to
the Cruise Control.
The distance can be adjusted at several levels.
For safety reasons, it depends on the respec-
tive speed.
The system maintains the set speed on clear
roads. The vehicle accelerates or brakes auto-
matically.
If a vehicle is driving ahead of you, the system
adjusts the speed of the vehicle so that the set
distance to the vehicle ahead is maintained.
The speed is adjusted as far as the given sit-
uation allows.
Distance Control is operated using the buttons
on the left of the steering wheel. The distance
is set via iDrive.
Distance Control information is displayed on
the instrument cluster.
General information
If the preceding vehicle brakes to a standstill
and drives off again shortly afterward, Dis-
tance Control is capable of detecting this as far
as given conditions allow.
Otherwise, drive off independently such as by
stepping on the accelerator pedal or by press-
ing the button for the speed setting on the
steering wheel.
