braking. The driver must then re-activate the
cruise control in one of the following ways:
•
Press the steering wheel button .
or
•
Depress the accelerator pedal.
> The cruise control will then resume follow-
ing the vehicle in front.
NOTE
Queue Assist can hold the car stationary for
a maximum of 4 minutes - then the parking
brake is applied and Cruise Control is dis-
engaged.
•
The driver has to release the parking
brake before the cruise control can be
reactivated.
Change of target
If the target vehicle in front suddenly turns then
there may be stationary traffic in front.
When the cruise control is following another
vehicle at speeds below 30 km/h and changes
target from a moving to a stationary vehicle, the
cruise control will slow down for the stationary
vehicle.
WARNING
When the cruise control is following another
vehicle at speeds in excess of 30 km/h and
the target is changed from a moving vehicle
to a stationary vehicle, the cruise control will
ignore the stationary vehicle and instead
select the stored speed.
•
The driver must intervene him/herself
and brake.
Automatic standby mode with change of
target
Cruise control is disengaged and set in
standby mode:
•
when the speed is below 5 km/h and cruise
control is not sure whether the target
object is a stationary vehicle or some other
object, e.g. a speed bump.
•
when the speed is below 5 km/h and the
vehicle in front turns off so the cruise con-
trol no longer has a vehicle to follow.
Termination of automatic braking at a
standstill
In certain situations Queue Assist automati-
cally interrupts braking when stationary. This
means that the brakes are released and the car
may start to roll - the driver must therefore
intervene and brake the car himself/herself in
order to maintain its position.
Queue Assist releases the foot brake and sets
cruise control in standby mode in the following
situations:
•
the driver puts his/her foot on the brake
pedal
•
the parking brake is applied
•
the gear selector is moved to P, N or R
position
•
the driver sets the cruise control in standby
mode.
