Deactivation of the functionality
Press .
The adaptive cruise control is
deactivated, but not disabled. The last
stored set speed remains in memory for
later usage.
The adaptive cruise control is deactivated
automatically in the following cases:
● brake pedal depressed
● traction control system or electronic
stability control is operating
● reverse gear engaged, N selected
● electric parking brake engaged
● seat belt unfastened
● driver's door opened
Switching off the system
Press
successively until the desired
mode to switch off assistance is selected.
Driver's attention
● Use the adaptive cruise control
carefully on bends or mountain roads,
as it can lose the vehicle ahead and
needs time to detect it again.
● Do not use the system on slippery
roads as it can create rapid changes
in tyre traction (wheel spinning), so that
you could lose control of the vehicle.
● Do not use the adaptive cruise control
during rain, snow or heavy dirt, as
the radar sensor can be covered
by a water film, dust, ice or snow.
This reduces or completely suppresses
visibility. In case of sensor blockage,
clean the sensor cover.
● Do not use the system when the spare
wheel is in use.
System limits
Warning
The system's automatic brake force
does not permit hard braking and the
braking level may not be sufficient to
avoid a collision.
● After a sudden lane change, the
system needs a certain time to detect
the next preceding vehicle. So if a new
vehicle is detected, the system may
accelerate instead of braking.
● The adaptive cruise control only
considers traffic driving in the same
direction.
● The adaptive cruise control does not
consider pedestrians and animals for
braking and driving off.
● The adaptive cruise control considers
stopped vehicles only at low speed.
● Do not use the adaptive cruise control
when towing a trailer.
● Do not use the adaptive cruise control
on roads with an incline of more than
10%.
As the radar's field of detection is quite
narrow, it is possible that the system may
not detect:
● vehicles of reduced width, e.g.
motorcycles, scooters
● vehicles not running in the middle of
the lane
● vehicles entering a corner
● vehicles suddenly pulling out
Deactivate the system in the following
situations:
● when driving through a tight bend
● when approaching a roundabout
● when following a vehicle not detected
by system, e.g., a motorcycle
