a)
If no speed has been set, the current speed is adopted.
Once the controls are activated, the CCS maintains the vehicle at the set
speed; the indicator light lights up in the instrument cluster.
Controls are automatically interrupted if any of the following occur.
▶
The brake pedal is operated.
▶
When one of the brake assist systems (e.g. ESC) intervenes.
▶
Through an airbag deployment.
WARNING
Always deactivate the cruise control system after use to prevent uninten-
■
tional switching on of the system.
Control may only be resumed if the set speed is not too high for the cur-
■
rent traffic conditions.
Notice
During control, speed can be increased by pressing the accelerator pedal. Re-
leasing the accelerator pedal will cause the speed to drop again to the set
speed.

/ Increase speed
a)
The Adaptive Cruise Control (hereinafter referred to only as ACC) maintains the
set speed or the distance to the vehicle ahead without the accelerator or
brake pedal being pressed.
The area in front of the vehicle and the distance to the vehicle ahead is moni-
tored by a radar sensor » page
The condition in which the ACC maintains the speed or the proximity is descri-
bed as control from here on.
WARNING
The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
■
be observed » page 120,
The driver must always be ready to take over the operation of the accel-
■
erator and brake pedal.
The ACC does not react when approaching a stationary obstacle, such as
■
traffic jams, vehicle breakdowns or vehicles waiting at a traffic light.
The ACC does not respond to crossing or oncoming objects.
■
If the ACC does not decelerate fast enough, immediately apply the vehi-
■
cle's footbrake.
WARNING
For safety reasons, do not use the ACC in the following situations.
When driving in turning lanes, motorway exits or construction sites, to
■
avoid an unwanted acceleration to the stored speed.
When visibility is poor, (e.g. fog, heavy rain, thick snowfall).
■
When road conditions are poor (e.g. ice, slippery road, gravel, dirt road).
■
Driving into "sharp" corners or in steep gradients / on steep inclines.
■
When driving through places where metal objects (such as metal build-
■
ings, railroad tracks, etc.) can be found.
When driving through very divided and enclosed spaces (such as large-ca-
■
pacity garages, car ferries, tunnels and the like.).

Notice
136
The ACC is designed primarily for use on motorways.
■
136
The ACC reduces the speed by automatically releasing the accelerator or by
■
136
means of a braking procedure as appropriate. If the brakes are used for an au-
137
tomatic speed reduction at any moments, then the brake light illuminates.
