Camera-based cruise con‐
trol
Concept
Using this system, a desired speed and a dis‐
tance to a vehicle ahead can be adjusted using
the buttons on the steering wheel.
The system maintains the desired speed on
clear roads. For this purpose, the vehicle accel‐
erates or brakes automatically.
If a vehicle is driving ahead of you, the system
adjusts the speed of your vehicle within the
given system limits so that the set distance to
the vehicle ahead is maintained.
The distance can be adjusted in several steps.
For safety reasons, it depends on the respective
speed.
General information
A camera on the interior rear view mirror is
used to detect vehicles driving ahead.
Depending on the driving settings, the features
of the cruise control can change in certain
areas.
