04 Driver support
Adaptive cruise control*
WARNING
Accessories or other objects such as auxil-
iary lamps must not be installed in front of
the grille.
WARNING
Adaptive cruise control is not a collision
avoidance system. The driver must inter-
vene if the system does not detect a vehi-
cle in front.
04
The adaptive cruise control does not brake
for humans or animals, and not for small
vehicles such as bicycles and motorcy-
cles. Nor for oncoming, slow or stationary
vehicles and objects.
Do not use the adaptive cruise control, for
example, in city traffic, in dense traffic, at
junctions, on slippery surfaces, with a lot
of water or slush on the road, in heavy
rain/snow, in poor visibility, on winding
roads or on slip roads.
The capacity of the radar sensor to detect
vehicles in front is reduced significantly:
•
if the radar sensor becomes blocked and
cannot detect other vehicles e.g. in heavy
rain or slush, or if other objects have col-
lected in front of the radar sensor.
*

Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
NOTE
Keep the surface in front of the radar sen-
sor clean - see page 184, "Maintenance".
•
if the speed of vehicles in front is signifi-
cantly different from your own speed.
Examples where the adaptive cruise
control does not work optimally
The radar sensor has a limited field of vision.
In some situations another vehicle is not
detected, or the detection is made later than
expected.
