146* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Changing the set speedAfter a speed has been set, it can be increased
or decreased by using the
or buttons.
When the system is in active mode, the
but-
ton has the same function as
, but results in
a smaller increase in speed.
NOTE
•If one of the Adaptive Cruise Control
buttons is pressed for more than
approximately one minute, ACC will be
deactivated. The engine must then be
switched off and restarted to reset ACC.
•In some situations Adaptive Cruise
Control cannot be put in active mode.
Cruise control Unavailable is shown

Setting a time intervalThe set time interval to vehicles ahead can be
increased by pressing
and decreased by
pressing
. The current time interval is shown
briefly in the display following adjustment.Different time intervals can be
selected and are shown in the
display as 1–5 horizontal bars.
The greater the number of
bars, the longer the time inter-
val. One bar represents a time
interval of approximately
1 second; 5 bars is approximately
2.5 seconds. At low speeds, when the distance
to the vehicle ahead is short, ACC increases
the time interval slightly. In order to follow the
vehicle ahead as smoothly as possible, ACC
allows the time interval to vary considerably in
certain situations.
WARNING
•Only use a time interval that is suitable
in current traffic conditions.
•A short time interval gives the driver lim-
ited reaction time if an unexpected sit-
uation occurs in traffic.
The number of bars indicating the selected
time interval are shown while the setting isbeing made and for several seconds afterward.
A smaller version of the symbol is then shown
to the right in the display. The same symbol is
also displayed when Distance Alert is in active
mode, see page 153 .

speed increases by approximately 1 mph
(1 km/h) each additional time
is pressed.
Standby mode due to action by the driverACC is temporarily deactivated and put in
standby mode:
•when the brakes are applied
•if the gear selector is moved to N
•if the accelerator pedal is depressed for
more than 1 minute.
