Engaging the cruise control functionBefore a speed can be set, the cruise control
system must be engaged (put in standby
mode).

Press the CRUISE button (1).>
The symbol
illuminates and the text
(---) mph (5) indicates that cruise con-
trol is in standby mode.
NOTE
This does not set the vehicle's speed.
Setting a speed
Use the or buttons set the vehicle's cur-
rent speed. The set speed is shown in the dis-
play.
NOTE
Cruise control cannot be engaged at
speeds below 20 mph (30 km/h).
Adjusting the set speedAfter a speed has been set, it can be increased
or decreased by using the
or buttons.
1.
Press and hold down
or until the
vehicle reaches the desired speed.
> This will become the set speed when the
button is released.
2.
Press
or for approximately a half
second and release the button to increase
or decrease vehicle speed by approxi-
mately 1 mph (1.6 km/h).
NOTE
•A temporary increase in speed by
pressing the accelerator pedal, for less
than 1 minute (e.g. when passing
another car), does not affect the current
cruise control setting. The vehicle will
automatically return to the previously
set speed when the accelerator pedal is
released.
•If one of the cruise control buttons is
kept depressed for more than approx.
1 minute cruise control is disengaged.
The engine must then be switched off in
order to reset cruise control.
Automatic deactivationCruise control is automatically deactivated
temporarily if one of the following occurs:
•If the speed drops below approximately
20 mph (30 km/h).
•When the brake pedal is depressed.
•If the gear selector is moved to position N.
•During wheel spin or wheel lock-up.
•If the vehicle's speed is increased by using
the accelerator pedal for more than
1 minute.
The currently set speed will be saved in the
system's memory.

vehicle's speed returns to the most recently set
speed.
WARNING
There may be a significant increase in speed
after the button has been pressed.
DeactivationCruise control is disengaged with CRUISE, by
putting the gear selector in Neutral, or by
switching off the engine. The set speed is

WARNING
Cruise control should not be used in heavy
traffic or when driving on wet or slippery
roads. Cruise control may not maintain set
speed on steep downgrades.

Collision warning with Auto-brake*

162* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
support is activated. Brake support prepares
the brake system to react quickly, and the
brakes are applied slightly. This may be expe-
rienced as a light tug.
If the brakes are applied quickly, full braking
effect will be provided, even if pressure on the
brake pedal is light.
Auto-brakeIf a collision is imminent and the driver has not
applied the brakes, the auto-brake function is
activated without the driver pressing the brake
pedal. Limited brake force is applied to reduce
the vehicle’s speed when the collision occurs.
WARNING
The auto-brake function cannot prevent a
collision but instead is intended to reduce
speed at the moment of impact. For full
braking effect, driver must apply the brakes.
NOTE
The auto-brake function is always on and
cannot be turned off.
Operation
Some settings are controlled from the center
console via a menu system. For information on
how the menu system is used, see page 122.
On and offTo switch Collision Warning on or off, go into
the menu Car settings
Collision warning
settings and select On or Off. When the engine
is started, the setting that was selected when
it was switched off will be used.
Activating/deactivating warning signalsThe collision warning system’s audible and vis-
ual signals are activated automatically when
the engine is started if the collision warning
system is activated.
The audible warning signal can be activated/
deactivated by selecting the alternative
On or
Off in Car settingsCollision warning
settings
Warning sound.
Setting a warning distanceThis setting determines the distance at which
the visual and audible warnings are triggered.
Select
Long, Normal or Short under Car
settings
Collision warning settings
Warning distance
The warning distance determines the level of
sensitivity used by the system. The warning
distance
Long provides an earlier warning.
Begin by using Long and if the system gives
too many warnings, try changing to
Normal.
WARNING
•The setting Short should only be used
in situations where traffic is light and
moving at low speeds.
•Collision Warning alerts the driver to the
risk of a collision but this function can-
not reduce the driver’s reaction time.
•For Collision Warning to be as effective
as possible, it is recommended that Dis-
tance Alert be set to 4 or 5, see
page 174.
NOTE
•When adaptive cruise control is used,
the warning light and signal will be used
by cruise control, even if they have been
deactivated by the driver.
•In situations where traffic is moving at
considerably different speeds, or if the
vehicle ahead brakes suddenly, warn-
ings may be considered to be late, even
if the setting
Long has been selected.
Checking settingsThe current Collision Warning settings can be
checked by going into the menu system at Car
settings
Collision warning settings. See
page 122 for more information on the menu
system.

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.163
LimitationsStrong sunlight, reflections, extreme light con-
trasts, the use of sunglasses, or if the driver is
not looking straight ahead may make the visual
warning signal in the windshield difficult to see.
For this reason, always activate the audible
warning signal in such conditions.
NOTE
The visual warning signal may be temporar-
ily disengaged in the event of high passen-
ger compartment temperature due to strong
sunlight, etc. If this occurs, the audible
warning signal will be used, even if it has
been deactivated in the menu system.
Warnings may not appear if the distance to the
vehicle ahead is very small or if steering wheel
and pedal movements are great, for example,
due to a very active driving style.
WARNING
•In certain situations, the system cannot
provide warnings or warning may be
delayed if traffic conditions or other
external factors make it impossible for
the radar sensor or camera to detect the
vehicle ahead.
•Warnings may not be provided if the
distance to the vehicle ahead is short,
or if movements of the steering wheel/
brake pedal are great, such as during
active driving.
•The sensor system has a limited range
for stationary or slow-moving vehicles
and may therefore give delayed or no
warnings if your vehicle’s speed is
above approximately 45 mph
(70 km/h).
•Warnings for stationary or slow-moving
vehicles may not be provided in dark
conditions.
The Collision Warning system uses the same
radar sensors as Adaptive Cruise Control. For
more information on the radar sensor and its
limitations, see page 170.
If no warning is given, or if a warning is delayed,
Auto-brake will also not be provided or will be
delayed.
NOTE
If warnings are given too frequently, the
warning distance can be reduced (see
page 162. This causes the system to pro-
vide later warnings, which decreases the
total number of warnings provided.
The camera’s limitationsThe camera is used by Collision Warning with
Auto-brake, Driver Alert Control (see
page 177), and Lane Departure Warning (see
page 180).
NOTE
•To help protect the camera in very hot
conditions, it may be temporarily
switched off for approximately 15
minutes after the engine has been
started.
•Keep the section of the windshield in
front of the camera clean and free of ice,
snow, or condensation.
