07 Driver support

Adaptive cruise control - ACC*

The adaptive cruise control (ACC – Adaptive
Cruise Control) helps the driver to maintain an
even speed and a safe distance from the vehi-
cle ahead.
The adaptive cruise control provides a more
relaxing driving experience on long journeys
on motorways and long straight main roads in
smooth traffic flows.
The driver sets the desired speed (p. 191)
and time interval (p. 192) to the car in front.
When the radar detector detects a slower
vehicle in front of the car, the speed is auto-
matically adapted to that. When the road is
clear again the car returns to the selected
speed.
If the adaptive cruise control is switched off
or set to standby mode (p. 192) and the car
comes too close to a vehicle in front, then the
driver is warned instead by the Distance
Warning (p. 202) function about the short
distance.
