Automatic standby mode
The adaptive cruise control is dependent on
other systems, e.g. DSTC (Stability and trac-
tion control system) (p. 179). If any of these
systems stop working then cruise control is
automatically deactivated.
In the event of automatic deactivation a signal
Cruise control
will sound and the message
Cancelled
is shown in the combined instru-
ment panel. The driver must then intervene
and adapt the speed and distance to the
vehicle ahead.

•
the driver opens the door
•
the driver takes off his seatbelt
•
engine speed is too low/high
•
speed has fallen below 30 km/h
•
wheels lose traction
•
brake temperature is high

07 Driver support
Adaptive cruise control* - overtaking
another vehicle
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.
When the car is following another vehicle and
the driver indicates an impending overtaking
manoeuvre with the direction indicator
adaptive cruise control helps to briefly accel-
erate the car towards the vehicle in front.
This function is active at speeds
above 70 km/h.
WARNING
Be aware that this function can be acti-
vated in more situations other than during
overtaking, e.g. when a direction indicator
is used to indicate a change of lane or exit
to another road - the car will then acceler-
ate briefly.
