240 Driving mode
If a vehicle is detected in front, it operates in the
speed range between 0 km/h and 90 km/h.
If the distance control assistant detects a vehicle
in front driving at a slower speed, your vehicle is
slowed and the specified distance selected by
you is maintained.
The distance control assistant brakes the vehicle
with the continuous brake in the following situa‐
tions:
the vehicle exceeds the set speed, including
R
the set speed tolerance, e.g. on a downhill
gradient
a slower vehicle in front has been detected
R
When the continuous brake slows the vehicle, the
à indicator lamp lights up in the instrument
cluster.
The distance control assistant may also brake the
vehicle using the service brake in order to main‐
tain the specified distance.
If the vehicle in front is no longer detected, e.g. if
it changes lane, your vehicle will accelerate up to
the set speed.
The distance control assistant cannot be activa‐
ted or is deactivated automatically in the follow‐
ing situations:
you are driving slower than 15 km/h on roads
R
with more than a 10% downhill/uphill gradi‐
ent.
you are driving slower than 5 km/h and a
R
vehicle in front has not been detected.
you shift the transmission into neutral for
R
more than approximately five seconds.
you select the reverse gear.
R
you deactivate ABS.
R
the vehicle is stationary and you leave your
R
seat.
the vehicle is stationary and you open the
R
driver's door.
there is a malfunction in the brake system/
R
electronic management system.
the distance sensor initialisation is not yet
R
complete.
If the distance control assistant is deactivated
automatically, a warning tone sounds.
If the distance control assistant cannot be activa‐
ted, the on-board computer displays the
km/h
message in grey.
The distance control assistant remains activated
in the following situations:
you decelerate using the continuous brake
R
the distance control assistant decelerates the
R
vehicle using the continuous brake/service
brake and you simultaneously depress the
brake pedal
If your vehicle accelerates and you depress the
brake pedal, the distance control assistant is
deactivated automatically.
