Adaptive cruise control* - symbols
and messages
The adaptive cruise control (ACC – Adaptive
Cruise Control) helps the driver to maintain an
even speed and a safe distance from the vehi-
cle ahead. Sometimes the adaptive cruise
control may display a symbol and/or text
message. Here are several examples - follow
the recommendation given if appropriate:
Symbol Message Specification
The symbol is GREEN The car maintains the stored speed.
The symbol is WHITE Adaptive cruise control is set to standby mode.
Standard cruise control is selected manually.
DSTC Normal to enable
Cruise
The adaptive cruise control cannot be activated until the Stability and Traction Control system (DSTC)
(p. 179) has been set in Normal mode.
Cruise control Cancel-
led
The adaptive cruise control has been deactivated - the driver has to regulate the speed himself.
Cruise control Unavail-
able
The adaptive cruise control cannot be activated.
This could be due to:
•
brake temperature is high
•
the radar sensor is blocked by e.g. wet snow or rain.
Radar blocked See
manual
The adaptive cruise control is temporarily disengaged.
•
The radar sensor is blocked and cannot detect other vehicles. For example, in the event of heavy
rain or if slush has collected in front of the radar sensor.
The driver can then choose to switch to (p. 196) normal Cruise control (CC) - a text message provides
information on appropriate alternatives.
Read about radar sensor limitations (p. 197).
