Deactivating the Adaptive Cruise
Control ACC temporarily in certain
situations
In the following situations the Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC) should be deactivated due to
›››
the system's limitations
When changing lanes, on tight bends and
●
roundabouts, in acceleration and decelera-
tion lanes on motorways or in sections with
road works to prevent involuntary accelera-
tion to reach the programmed speed.
When going through a tunnel, as operation
●
could be affected.
On roads with several lanes, when other ve-
●
hicles are driving more slowly in the overtak-
ing lane. In this case, slower vehicles will be
overtaken on the right.
In case of heavy rain, snow or spray, as the
●
vehicle in front might not be detected proper-
ly or, in certain circumstances, might not be
detected at all.
WARNING
If the ACC does not switch off in the situa-
tions described, serious accidents and inju-
ries may occur.
Always switch off the ACC in critical sit-
●
uations.

Note
If you do not switch off the ACC in the

The adaptive cruise control (ACC) has cer-
tain physical limitations inherent in the sys-
tem. For example, certain reactions of the
ACC, in certain circumstances, may be unex-
pected or come late from the driver's point of
view. So pay attention in order to intervene if
necessary.
For example, the following traffic situations
call for the utmost attention:
Starting driving after a stopping phase
(only vehicles with automatic gearbox)
After a stopping phase, the ACC may begin
driving automatically when the vehicle in
›››
front drives off .
