* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
An automatic deactivation can be due to:
•
engine speed is too low/high
•
speed falls below 30 km/h
6
•
wheels lose traction
•
brake temperature is high
•
the radar sensor is covered e.g. by wet
snow or heavy rain (radar waves blocked).
Resume set speed
Cruise control in standby mode is re-activated
with one press on the steering wheel button
- the speed is then set to the last stored

Overtaking another vehicle
When the car is following another vehicle and
the driver indicates an imminent overtake with
the direction indicator
7
, the Cruise control
helps to briefly accelerate the car towards the
vehicle in front.
The function is active at speeds
above 70 km/h.
WARNING
Be aware that this function can be activated
in more situations other than during over-
taking, e.g. when a direction indicator is
used to indicate a change of lane or exit to
another road - the car will then accelerate
briefly.
Deactivate
Adaptive cruise control is deactivated with a
short press on the steering wheel button
in
standby mode - or with one long press in active
mode. The set speed is cleared and cannot be
resumed with the
button.
Queue Assistant
In cars with automatic gearbox Adaptive cruise
control is supplemented with the Queue Assis-
tant function (also referred to as "Queue
Assist").
Queue Assistant has the following functions:
•
Extended speed range - also below 30 km/
h and at standstill
•
Change of target
•
Automatic braking ceases when stationary
•
Automatic activation parking brake.
Note that the lowest programmable speed for
the cruise control is 30 km/h - even though the
cruise control is capable of following another
vehicle down to a standstill, a lower speed
cannot be selected.
Extended speed range
NOTE
In order to activate the cruise control the
driver's door must be closed and the driver
must be wearing the seatbelt.
With automatic gearbox the cruise control can
follow another vehicle within the range of
0-200 km/h.
NOTE
Activation of the cruise control below
30 km/h requires a vehicle in front within a
reasonable distance.
For shorter stops in connection with inching in
slow traffic or at traffic lights driving is auto-
matically resumed if the stops do not exceed
about 3 seconds - if it takes longer before the
car in front starts moving again then the cruise
control is set in standby mode with automatic
