Adaptive cruise assist
General information
Applies to: vehicles with adaptive cruise assist
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the adap-
tive cruise assist may consist of the following
functions:
Within the limits of the system, the adaptive
speed assist assists the driver in controlling the
speed and the set distance to the vehicle driving
ahead. If the system detects a vehicle driving
ahead, the adaptive speed assist can brake and
accelerate your vehicle within the limits of the
system. On open roads with no traffic, it func-
tions like a cruise control system. The stored
speed is maintained. When approaching a vehicle
driving ahead, the adaptive speed assist auto-
matically brakes to match that vehicle's speed
and then maintains the set distance as much as
possible. Once the system does not detect a vehi-
cle driving ahead, adaptive speed assist will ac-
celerate up to the set speed.
The additional lane guidance assists the driver
with corrective steering in order to stay in the
lane. You can adjust if the adaptive cruise assist
will provide support with lane guidance
© page 138, Switching lane guidance on and off.
In stop-and-go traffic and in traffic jams, the ve-
hicle may brake to a full stop and then may also
start driving again automatically under certain
conditions.
Applies to: vehicles with traffic jam assist: In traf
fic jams or in stop-and-go traffic, the traffic jam
assist can assist the driver to stay within the lane
detected by the system > page 139.
Applies to: vehicles with efficiency assist: Predic-
tive control can adjust the speed based on traffic
and road conditions page 140, Predictive con-
trol.
Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 119.
The system complies with United States FCC
regulations and ISED regulations > page 313.
Applies to: vehicles with adaptive cruise assist
Fig. 89 Example: driving into a curve
In some situations, the adaptive cruise assist
function is limited and you must assume control
of the vehicle when necessary, for example by ap-
plying the brakes.
When driving into a curve © fig. 89 and out of a
curve, the system may react to a vehicle in the
neighboring lane and apply the brakes. You can
override the system by pressing the accelerator
pedal briefly.
— The system works with the various sensors and
cameras in the vehicle. Vehicles can only be de-
tected once they are within the area and range
covered by the sensors > page 120, fig. 80. >
