Vehicles with Inside Overtaking Prevention
System: If Adaptive Cruise Control detects
a slower vehicle in the le-hand lane (le-
hand trac: in the right-hand lane), Adap-
tive Cruise Control will brake the vehicle
gently within the system limits and can
therefore prevent a prohibited overtaking
manoeuvre. The function is active from
speeds of around 80 km/h (around
50 mph).
Vehicles without Inside Overtaking Preven-
tion System: Cancel control when driving on
a multi-lane road if vehicles in the overtak-
ing lane are driving more slowly.

Limits of the sensors
The Adaptive Cruise Control detects driving
situations by means of the radar and ultra-
sound sensors in the front of the vehicle
and the camera behind the windscreen.
The range of the radar sensor is up to ap-
proximately 160 m (around 520 ).
WARNING
Using Adaptive Cruise Control in driving
situa
tions outside the system limits may
lead to accidents and serious injuries and
also violations of the relevant legal re-
quirements.

P
ay attention to the limits of the sensor
system → page 166 and cancel control
in the specified situations.
Objects that cannot be detected
Adaptive Cruise Control only detects vehi-
cles moving in the same direction as your
vehicle. The following are not detected:
— Persons
— Animals
— Crossing or oncoming vehicles
— Other stationary obstacles
Stationary vehicles
Fig. 116 S
tationary vehicle.
Adaptive Cruise Control reacts to stationary
vehicles to a limited extent up to a speed of
around 60 km/h (approx. 37 mph), provi-
ded a stationary vehicle is detected as such
and your own vehicle can be comfortably
braked behind the stationary vehicle within
the system limits of the Adaptive Cruise
Control system. Adaptive Cruise Control
does not perform emergency braking
→ Fig. 116.
The function which enables your vehicle to
react to stationary vehicles comes with
some equipment levels and is not available
in all countries.
