* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.175
Automatic standby modeAdaptive cruise control is dependent on other
systems e.g. stability and traction control
(DSTC). If any of these systems stop working
then cruise control is automatically deacti-
vated.
In the event of automatic deactivation a signal
will sound and the message
Cruise control
Cancelled is shown in the display. The driver
must then intervene and adapt the speed and
distance to the vehicle ahead.
An automatic deactivation can be due to:
•engine speed is too low/high
•speed falls below 30 km/h5
•wheels lose traction
•brake temperature is high
•the radar sensor is covered e.g. by wet
snow or heavy rain (radar waves blocked).
Resume set speedCruise control in standby mode is re-activated
with one press on the steering wheel button
- the speed is then set to the last stored
speed.
NOTE
A significant increase in speed may arise
after the speed has been resumed with .
DeactivateThe cruise control is switched off with the
steering wheel button
. The set speed is
cleared and cannot be resumed with the
button.
Keypad without Speed limiterThe cruise control is switched off with the
steering wheel button
in standby mode or
with one long press in active mode. The set
speed is cleared and cannot be resumed with
the
button.
Queue Assist ACC and automatic
gearbox*
In cars with automatic gearbox the adaptive
cruise control has more functions than in cars
with manual gearbox.
Note that the lowest programmable speed for
the cruise control is 30 km/h - even though the
cruise control is capable of following another
vehicle down to a standstill, a lower speed
cannot be selected.The following functions are available:
Extended speed range
NOTE
In order to activate the cruise control the
driver's door must be closed and the driver
must be wearing the seatbelt.
•With the automatic gearbox the cruise con-
trol can follow another vehicle within the
range of 0-200 km/h - right down to sta-
tionary and up to 200 km/h.
NOTE
Activation of the cruise control below
30 km/h requires a vehicle in front within a
reasonable distance.
For shorter stops in connection with inching in
slow traffic or at traffic lights driving is auto-
matically resumed if the stops do not exceed
about 3 seconds - if it takes longer before the
car in front starts moving again then the cruise
control is set in standby mode. The driver must
then re-activate the cruise control in one of the
following ways:
•Press the steering wheel button .
5Does not apply to cars with automatic gearbox ("Queue Assist") - they manage right down to stationary.

CauseAction
Water or snow from the road surface swirls up and blocks the radar sig-
nals.No action. Sometimes the radar does not work on a very wet or snowy
road surface.
The radar surface has been cleaned but the message remains.Wait. It could take several minutes for the radar to sense that it is no
longer blocked.
Symbols and messages in the display
SymbolMessageSpecification
Standby mode or active mode without detected vehicle.
Active mode with detected vehicle to which cruise control adapts the speed.
Time interval activated, during adjustment.
Time interval activated, after adjustment.
Turn on DSTC to enable
CruiseCruise control cannot be activated until the stability and traction control function (DSTC) has been set
in Normal mode.
Cruise control CancelledThe cruise control has been deactivated - the driver has to regulate the speed.
Cruise control UnavailableCruise control cannot be activated.
This could be due to:
•brake temperature is high
•the radar sensor is blocked by e.g. wet snow or rain.

Trailer Stability Assist - TSA
The TSA system (Trailer Stability Assist) serves
to stabilise the car and trailer combination if it
begins to snake.
The TSA function is part of the DSTC system
(Dynamic Stability and Traction Control), see
page 164.
FunctionThe snaking phenomenon can occur with any
car/trailer combination. Normally, snaking
occurs at extremely high speeds. But, there is
a risk of it occurring at lower speeds
(70-90 km/h) if the trailer is overloaded or the
load is improperly distributed, e.g. too far back.
In order for snaking to occur, there must be a
triggering factor, e.g.:
•Car with trailer subjected to a sudden and
powerful side wind.
•Car with trailer drives on an uneven road
surface or in a pothole.
•Sweeping steering wheel movements.
OperationIf snaking has started, it could be difficult or
even impossible to suppress. This makes the
car/trailer combination difficult to control and
there is a risk that you could, for example, end
up in the wrong lane or leave the carriageway.
TSA system continually monitors car move-
ments, particularly lateral movements. If snak-
ing is detected, the front wheels are individually
braked. This serves to stabilise the car/trailer
combination. This is often enough to help the
driver regain control of the car.
If snaking is not eliminated the first time the
TSA system comes into action, the car/trailer
combination is braked with all wheels and
engine power is reduced. Once snaking has
been gradually suppressed and the car/trailer
combination is once again stable, the TSA sys-
tem stops regulating and the driver once again
has full control of the car.
MiscellaneousThe TSA system can engage within the speed
interval 60 to 160 km/h.
NOTE
TSA is deactivated if the driver selectsSport mode, see page 164.
TSA may fail to engage if the driver uses severe
steering wheel movements to try to rectify the
snaking because in such a situation the TSA
system cannot determine whether it is the
trailer or the driver that is causing the snaking.
The DSTC symbol in the combined
instrument panel flashes when the
TSA is working.
