This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
→ Displays, warning and indicator lamps
→ Radar sensor→ Operating Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
→ Switch off the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) temporarily in the following situations→ Special driving situations
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) combines cruise control and distance control .
A speed between 30 km/h (18 mph) and 160 km/h (100 mph) can be set and maintained using the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) also maintains a set time interval to the vehicle in front. The time interval is set by the driver.
In vehicles with an automatic gearbox, the ACC can brake the vehicle until it comes to a complete standstill behind a vehicle in front that is stopping.
The system tells the driver to take control
There are system-specific limits on the ACC when driving. This means that the driver may have to control the speed and distance between the vehicle and other vehicles in certain circumstances.
The driver is told to take control of the vehicle via a message in the instrument cluster display requesting a braking intervention, and an acoustic warning .
