Change speed in increments of 1 mph (1 km/h) by lightly pressing the
lever. If you keep the lever p ressed down, you will alter your speed in
5 mph (10 km/h) increments .
You can also press the accelerator peda l down to increase your speed,
e .g . if you want to pass someone . The speed you saved earlier w ill
resume as soon as you let off of the accelerator pedal.
If, however, you exceed your saved speed by 5 mph (10 km/h) for
longer than 5 minutes, the cruise control will be turned off tempo ­
ra rily. The green symbol in the display turns white, the saved speed is
retained .•

Adaptive cruise control
Speed and distance control system
Applies to veh icl es : w it h adaptive c ruise contro l
Description
The adaptive cruise control driver assistan ce program is a
combined speed and distance control system .
Fig. 113 Front
bum per : Po sitio n of
ra dar sen sor
Any speed betwee n about 20 mph (30 km/h) and about 95 mph
( 1 50 km/ h) can be set and held with the adaptive cruise control. The
system also regu lates a pre-set distance from the vehicle ahead
w ith in the limits of the system described.
Driv ing c an be more relaxed, particularly o n long tr ips on inter states
or on other highways that a re generally straig ht.
How does it work?
Yo u ca n operate the adaptive c ruise contro l using the leve r o n the
steer ing wheel column:::,
page 119, "H ow is the speed sto red? " and
=:> pag e 121, "How is the distance (time interval) set?".
Driver information
Important info rmation is brought up in the speedometer and in the
instrumen t cluster dis play as the ve hicl e is be ing driven :::,
page 122,
"Driver in format ion ".
What is important for you to know
The adaptive cru ise cont rol is set with system-specified lim its, that is,
a s a driver, yo u will h ave to adju st the speed and dist an ce to the
vehicle ahead in some instances :::,
page 126, "Driver inte rvention
promp t" and =>
page 127, "Sy stem limi ta tions ".
& WARNING
Improper u se of the adaptive cruise control can cause colli sion s,
othe r accidents and serious personal injury.
• Never drive at speeds that are too high for traffic, road and
weather condition s.
• Never follow the vehicle in front so closely that you cannot stop
your vehicle safel y. The adaptive cruise control cannot brake the
vehicle safely when you follow another vehicle too closely . Alway s
remember that the adapti ve cruise control has a braking power
that i s only about 25% of the vehicle 's maximum br aking ability,
the automatic b rak ing function cannot bring the vehicle to a stop.
• Never use adaptive cruise control on roads where you cannot
drive safely at a steady speed , including city , stop-and-go or heavy
traffi c, on winding road s or when road cond ition s are poor (for
e x ample , on ice, gravel, in fog, heavy rain or on wet roads that
in crea se the risk of hydroplaning).
• The rada r sensor' s
vis io n can be reduced by rain, snow and
heavy spray . This can re sult in vehicle s driving ahead being inade­
qu ately detected or, in some circumstances , not detected at all. If
necessary, t ake action yourself! ..,

& WARNING (co ntinued )
• Always turn off adaptive crui se control when entering turn
lanes, highway ex it lanes and con struction zones or similar situa­
tions because the vehicle will automatically accele rate to the
stored speed .
• Never rest your foot on the accelerator pedal, especially when
the adaptive cruise control is being u sed because doing so will
override the braking function and prevent the brakes from being
applied by the system when it detect s a situation when the brake s
must be applied.
• Alway s remember that the adaptive cruise control has limits -
it does not react when you drive towards an obstacle or something
else on or near the road that is not moving, such as vehicles
stopped in a traffic jam , a stalled or disabled vehicle .
• Always remember that the adaptive cruise control cannot
detect a veh icle th at i s driving towards you in your traffic lane and
that it cannot detect narrow vehicles such as motorcycles and bicy­
cles .
[ i] Tips
• For safety reasons, the stored speed is deleted when the ignition
is turned off.
• The Electronic Stabilization Program (ESP) and the Ant i-Slip Regu ­
la tio n (A SR) c anno t be de activated when the adaptive cruise cont rol
is sw itched on .
If the ESP and the Anti -S lip Regulation (ASR) has been
de activ at ed an d yo u the n switch on the ad apt ive cruise cont rol, the
ESP fu nction w ill also be activated automatically.
• Dam age cau sed by accide nts (e.g. if the vehicle is dam age d whe n
park ing) can affect the rada r sensor settings. This can cause t he
sys tem to malfunc tion or switch off comple tely.
• The radar sensor cover is heated. In w inter conditions, you should
st ill ch eck befor e dr iv in g to make s ure i t is free of ice and s now. If
necessary, clean the area nea r the rada r sensor carefully=>

A radar sensor is buil t into the front of the vehicle=> fig. 114, which
is subject to ce rtain system limits =>
page 12 7 . Stationary o bjects are
not taken into cons iderat ion. The system is intended to measure the
distance to reflective s urfaces. The system responds after the
dis tance measuremen t has taken place. If a meas urement is not
poss ible, the system does not respond.
