The same symbol is also shown when Dis- tance Warning (p. 202) function is activated.
NOTE
Only use the time intervals permitted by local traffic regulations. If Cruise Control does not appear to react when activated, this may be because thetime distance to the car in front is prevent-ing an increase in speed. The higher the speed the longer the calcu- lated distance in metres for a given timeinterval.

Adaptive cruise control* - temporary deactivation, and standby mode
The adaptive cruise control (ACC – Adaptive Cruise Control) helps the driver to maintain aneven speed and a safe distance from the vehi-cle ahead. The cruise control can be tempo-rarily deactivated and set in standby mode.
Temporary deactivation - standby mode
with Speed limiter
To temporarily disengage the adaptive cruisecontrol and set it in standby mode:
• Press the steering wheel button
This symbol and the stored speed's marking then change colour fromGREEN to WHITE.
Temporary deactivation - standby mode without Speed limiter
To temporarily disengage the adaptive cruise control and set it in standby mode:
• Press the steering wheel button
Standby mode due to driver interventionCruise control is temporarily disengaged and set in standby mode if:
• the foot brake is used
• the clutch pedal is depressed for longer than 1 minute 9 •
the gear selector is moved to
N position
(automatic gearbox)
• the driver maintains a speed higher than the set speed for longer than 1 minute.
The driver must then regulate the speed. A temporary increase in speed with the accel- erator pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does notaffect the cruise control setting - the carreturns to the last stored speed when theaccelerator pedal is released.
Automatic standby modeThe adaptive cruise control is dependent onother systems, e.g. DSTC (Stability and trac-tion control system) (p. 175). If any of thesesystems stop working then cruise control isautomatically deactivated. In the event of automatic deactivation a signal will sound and the message
Cruise control
Cancelled is shown in the combined instru-
ment panel. The driver must then intervene and adapt the speed and distance to thevehicle ahead. An automatic deactivation can be due to:
• the driver opens the door
• the driver takes off his seatbelt
• engine speed is too low/high
• speed has fallen below 30 km/h 10

Disengaging and selecting a higher or lower gear does not involve standby mode.
10 Does not apply to a car with Queue Assistant - it manages right down to stationary.

Adaptive cruise control* - overtaking another vehicle
The adaptive cruise control (ACC – Adaptive Cruise Control) helps the driver to maintain aneven speed and a safe distance from the vehi-cle ahead. When the car is following another vehicle and the driver indicates an impending overtaking manoeuvre with the direction indicator 11
, the
adaptive cruise control helps to briefly accel- erate the car towards the vehicle in front. This function is active at speeds above 70 km/h.
WARNING
Be aware that this function can be acti- vated in more situations other than duringovertaking, e.g. when a direction indicatoris used to indicate a change of lane or exitto another road - the car will then acceler-ate briefly.
