Automatic standby mode
The adaptive cruise control is dependent on
other systems, e.g. Electronic Stability Control
50
ESC
. If any of the other systems stops working,
the adaptive cruise control is deactivated auto-
matically.
WARNING
With automatic standby mode, the driver is
warned via an acoustic signal and a message
on the driver display.
•
The driver must then regulate the car's
speed, apply the brakes as needed and
maintain a safe distance to other vehicles.
Automatic standby mode may occur if:
•
the speed is below 5 km/h (3 mph) and ACC
is uncertain whether the vehicle ahead is a
stationary vehicle or an object, such as a
speed bump.
•
the speed is below 5 km/h (3 mph) and the
vehicle ahead turns off so that ACC no
longer has a vehicle to follow.
•
speed is reduced to below 30 km/h
(20 mph) - only applies to cars with manual
gearbox.
•
the driver opens the door.
•
the driver takes off the seatbelt.
Electronic Stability Control

•
engine speed is too low/high.

depending on car model.
To reactivate ACC from standby mode:
