In cars with automatic gearbox the adaptive

km/h and at standstill
•
Change of target
•
Automatic braking ceases when station-
04
ary
•
Automatic activation parking brake.
Note that the lowest programmable speed for
the adaptive cruise control is 30 km/h - even
though it is capable of following another vehi-
cle down to a standstill, a lower speed can-
not be selected.
Extended speed range
NOTE
In order to activate the cruise control the
driver's door must be closed and the driver
must be wearing the seatbelt.
With an automatic gearbox, the adaptive
cruise control can follow another vehicle
within the range 0-200 km/h.

Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
NOTE
Activation of the cruise control below
30 km/h requires a vehicle in front within a
reasonable distance.
For shorter stops in connection with inching
in slow traffic or at traffic lights driving is
automatically resumed if the stops do not
exceed approx. 3 seconds - if it takes longer
before the car in front starts moving again
then the cruise control is set in standby mode
with automatic braking. The driver must then
reactivate it in one of the following ways:
•
Press the steering wheel button
or
•
Depress the accelerator pedal.
> The cruise control will then resume fol-
lowing 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 Con-
trol is disengaged.
•
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 adaptive 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.
