ACC: Take action!
The indication is displayed if, when the ve-
●
hicle starts up on a hill with a slight slope, the
vehicle rolls back even although the ACC is
activated. Apply the brake to stop the vehicle
from moving/colliding with another vehicle.
ACC: speed limit
The indication is displayed in vehicles with
●
manual gearboxes if the current speed is too
low for the ACC mode. The speed limiter
switches off if the speed falls below 20 km/h
(12 mph).
ACC: available as of the 2nd gear
The ACC is operational as of the 2nd gear
●
(manual gearbox).
ACC: engine speed
This indication is displayed if, when the
●
ACC accelerates or brakes, the driver does
not shift up or down a gear in time, which
means exceeding or not reaching the permit-
ted RPM. The ACC switches itself off. A buzzer
warning is heard.
ACC: clutch applied
Vehicles with manual transmission: pressing
●
the clutch pedal for longer exits cruise con-
trol.

Driving
Door open
Vehicles with automatic transmission: the
●
ACC cannot be activated with the vehicle
stationary and the door open.
WARNING
There is a danger of rear collision when the
distance to the vehicle in front is reduced
and the speed difference between both ve-
hicles is so great that a speed reduction by
the ACC is not sufficient. In this case, brake
immediately!
The ACC may not be able to detect all
●
situations properly.
Stepping on the accelerator may cause
●
the ACC not to intervene in braking. Driver
braking will have priority over intervention
by the speed control or adaptive cruise
control.
Always be ready to use the brakes!
●
Observe country-specific provisions gov-
●
erning obligatory minimum distances be-
tween vehicles.
It is dangerous to activate control and re-
●
sume the programmed speed if the road,
traffic or weather conditions do not permit
this. Risk of accident!
Note
The programmed speed is erased once
●
the ignition or the ACC are switched off.
When the traction control system (ASR) is
●
deactivated during acceleration or else the
ESC is activated in Sport* Mode
›››
(
page
92), the ACC switches off auto-
matically.
In vehicles with the Start-Stop system,
●
the engine switches off during the ACC
stopping phase and restarts for moving off.
