•
the gear selector is moved to N position
(automatic gearbox)
•
the driver maintains speed higher than
the stored speed for longer than
1 minute.
The driver must then regulate the speed.
A temporary increase in speed with the accel-
erator pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not
affect the setting - the car returns to the last
stored speed when the accelerator pedal is
released.
For more information, see the sections Man-
aging speed (p. 202) and Overtaking another
vehicle (p. 204).
Automatic standby mode
The adaptive cruise control is dependent on
other systems, e.g. Stability system ESC
(p. 183). If any of these systems stops work-
ing, the adaptive cruise control is deactivated
automatically.
In the event of automatic deactivation a signal
will sound and the message
control cancelled
is shown in the combined
instrument panel. The driver must then inter-
07
vene and adapt the speed and distance to
the vehicle ahead.
An automatic deactivation can be due to:
•
the driver opens the door
•
the driver takes off his seatbelt
Does not apply to a car with Queue Assist - it can go all the way down to 0 km/h.

erate the car towards the vehicle in front.
This function is active at speeds

is used to indicate a change of lane or exit
to another road - the car will then acceler-
ate briefly.
