The same symbol is also shown when Dis-
tance Warning (p. 202) function is activated.
NOTE
Only use the time intervals permitted by
local traffic regulations.
If Cruise Control does not appear to react
when activated, this may be because the
time distance to the car in front is prevent-
ing an increase in speed.
The higher the speed the longer the calcu-
lated distance in metres for a given time
interval.

Disengaging and selecting a higher or lower gear does not involve standby mode.
Does not apply to a car with Queue Assistant - it manages right down to stationary.

Adaptive cruise control* - temporary
deactivation, and standby mode
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. The cruise control can be tempo-
rarily deactivated and set in standby mode.
Temporary deactivation - standby mode
with Speed limiter
To temporarily disengage the adaptive cruise
control and set it in standby mode:
•
Press the steering wheel button
This symbol and the stored speed's
marking then change colour from
GREEN to WHITE.
Temporary deactivation - standby mode
without Speed limiter
To temporarily disengage the adaptive 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
9
than 1 minute
07 Driver support
•
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 (Stability and trac-
tion control system) (p. 175). 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
Cancelled
is shown in the combined instru-
ment panel. The driver must then intervene
and adapt the speed and distance to the
vehicle ahead.
An automatic deactivation can be due to:
•
the driver opens the door
•
the driver takes off his seatbelt
•
engine speed is too low/high
•
speed has fallen below 30 km/h
