To temporarily disengage Cruise control and
set it in standby mode:
•
Press the steering wheel button .
Standby mode due to driver intervention
Cruise control is temporarily disengaged and
set in standby mode if:
•
the foot brake is used
•
the clutch pedal is depressed for longer
than 1 minute
6
•
the gear selector is moved to N position
(automatic gearbox)
•
the driver maintains a speed higher than
the set speed for longer than 1 minute.
The driver must then regulate the speed.
A temporary increase in speed with the accel-
erator pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not
affect the cruise control setting - the car returns
to the last stored speed when the accelerator
pedal is released.
Automatic standby mode
The Adaptive cruise control is dependent on
other systems, e.g.. DSTC (see page 146). If
any of these systems stop working then cruise
control is automatically deactivated.
In the event of automatic deactivation a signal
will sound and the message
Cruise control
Cancelled
is shown in the display. The driver
must then intervene and adapt the speed and
distance to the vehicle ahead.
An automatic deactivation can be due to:
•
engine speed is too low/high
•
speed falls below 30 km/h
7
•
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
speed.
NOTE
A significant increase in speed may arise
after the speed has been resumed with
.
Overtaking another vehicle
When the car is following another vehicle and
the driver indicates an imminent overtake with
the direction indicator
8
, 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
