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.

WARNING
When the cruise control is following another vehicle at speeds in excess of
30 km/h and the target is changed from amoving vehicle to a stationary vehicle, thecruise control will ignore the stationaryvehicle and instead select the storedspeed. • The driver must intervene him/herself and brake.
Automatic standby mode with change of target
The adaptive cruise control is disengaged and set in standby mode:
• when the speed is below 5 km/h and cruise control is not sure whether the tar-get object is a stationary vehicle or someother object, e.g. a speed bump.
• when the speed is below 5 km/h and thevehicle in front turns off so the cruisecontrol no longer has a vehicle to follow.
Termination of automatic braking at a
standstill
In certain situations, Queue Assist stops automatic braking at a standstill. This meansthat the brakes are released and the car maystart to roll - the driver must therefore inter-vene and brake the car himself/herself inorder to maintain its position. Queue Assist releases the foot brake and setsthe adaptive cruise control in standby modein the following situations:
• the driver puts his/her foot on the brake pedal
• the parking brake is applied
• the gear selector is moved to
P, N or R
position
• the driver sets the cruise control instandby mode.
Automatic activation parking brakeIn certain situations Queue Assist applies the parking brake in order to keep the car remain-ing stationary. This takes place if:
• the driver opens the door or takes off his/her seatbelt
• DSTC is changed from
Normal to Sport
mode
• Queue Assist has held the car stationaryfor more than 4 minutes
• the engine is switched off
• the brakes have overheated.

> By these means the standard cruise con- trol (p. 185) CC (Cruise Control) is activated.
WARNING
The car no longer brakes automatically after switching from ACC to CC - it merelyfollows the set speed.
Changing back from CC to ACCSwitch off cruise control with 1-2 presses on
in accordance with the deactivation
instructions (p. 194). The next time the sys- tem is switched on it is the Adaptive cruisecontrol that is activated.

If the speed difference is 4-15 km/h in relation to the vehicle in front then City Safety™ cancompletely prevent a collision. City Safety™ activates a short, sharp braking and stops the car in normal circumstances,just behind the vehicle in front. For most dri-vers this is well outside normal driving styleand may be experienced as being uncomfort-able. If the difference in speed between the vehi- cles is greater than 15 km/h then CitySafety™ may not prevent the collision on itsown. To obtain full brake force, the drivermust depress the brake pedal. This couldthen make it possible to prevent a collision,even at speed differences above 15 km/h. When the function is activated and brakes,the combined instrument panel shows a textmessage to the effect that the function is/hasbeen active.
NOTE
When City Safety™ brakes, the brake lights come on.

City Safety™ - operation
City Safety™ is a function for helping the driver to avoid a collision when driving inqueues, amongst other things, when changesin the traffic ahead, combined with a lapse inattention, could lead to an incident.
On and Off
NOTE
The City Safety™ function is always switched on after the engine has beenstarted via key position
I and II (p. 70).
In certain situations, it may advisable to disa- ble City Safety™, e.g. where leafy branchescould sweep over the bonnet and/or wind-screen. After starting the engine City Safety™ can be deactivated as follows: The function can beactivated/deactivated in the menu system MY
CAR . For a description of the menu system,
see MY CAR (p. 103). However, the function will be enabled the next time the engine is started, regardless ofwhether the system was enabled or disabledwhen the engine was switched off.

City Safety™ - limitations
The sensor in City Safety™ is designed to detect cars and other large vehicles in front ofthe car irrespective of whether it is day ornight. However, the function has a number oflimitations. However, the sensor has limitations and has poorer functionality - or none at all - in e.g.heavy snowfall or rain, dense fog, duststorms or white-out situations. Mist, dirt, iceor snow on the windscreen may disrupt thefunction. Low-hanging objects, e.g. a flag/pennant for projecting load, or accessories such as auxili-ary lamps and bull bars that are higher thanthe bonnet limit the function. The laser beam from the sensor in City Safety™ measures how the light is reflected.The sensor cannot detect objects with lowreflection capacity. The rear sections of thevehicle generally reflect the light sufficientlythanks to the number plate and rear lightreflectors. On slippery road surfaces the braking dis- tance is extended, which may reduce thecapacity of City Safety™ to avoid a collision.In such situations the ABS and DSTC sys-tems will provide best possible braking forcewith maintained stability. When your own car is reversing, City Safety™ is temporarily deactivated. City Safety™ is not activated at low speeds -under 4 km/h, which is why the system doesnot intervene in situations where a vehicle infront is being approached very slowly, e.g.when parking. Driver commands are always prioritised, which is why City Safety™ does not intervenein situations where the driver is steering oraccelerating in a clear manner, even if a colli-sion is unavoidable. When City Safety™ has prevented a collision with a stationary object the car remains sta-tionary for a maximum of 1.5 seconds. If thecar is braked for a vehicle in front that is mov-ing, then speed is reduced to the same speedas that maintained by the vehicle in front. On a car with manual gearbox the engine stops when City Safety™ has stopped thecar, unless the driver manages to depress theclutch pedal beforehand.
NOTE
•
Keep the windscreen surface in front of the laser sensor free from ice, snowand dirt (see the illustration for sensorlocation (p. 205)).
• Do not affix or mount anything on thewindscreen in front of the laser sensor
• Remove ice and snow from the bonnet- snow and ice must not exceed aheight of 5 cm.

Collision warning system* - operation
"Collision Warning with Auto Brake and Cyclist and Pedestrian Detection" is an aid toassist the driver when there is a risk of collid-ing with a pedestrian, bicycle or vehicle infront that are stationary or moving in the samedirection. Settings for the collision warning system are made from MY CAR via the centre console
screen and menu system, see MY CAR (p.103).
Warning signals On and OffYou can select whether the collision warningsystem's acoustic and visual warning signalsshould be switched on or off. When starting the engine, the setting that was selected when the engine was switched off isobtained automatically.
NOTE
The Brake Support and Auto Brake func- tions are always enabled - they cannot bedeactivated.
Light and acoustic signalsBoth the light and acoustic signals can be deactivated after starting the engine. Thefunction can be activated/deactivated in themenu system MY CAR. For a description of
the menu system, see MY CAR (p. 103). The warning lamp (see (1) in the illustration (p.213)) is tested each time the engine is startedby briefly lighting the separate light points ofthe warning lamp if the visual and acousticwarning of the collision warning system isactivated.
Acoustic signalThe warning sound can be activated/deacti-vated separately in the menu system
MY
CAR . For a description of the menu system,
see MY CAR (p. 103).
Set warning distanceThe warning distance regulates the distanceat which the visual and acoustic warnings aredeployed. The warning distance is set in themenu system MY CAR. For a description of
the menu system, see MY CAR (p. 103). The warning distance determines the sys- tem's sensitivity. Warning distance
Long pro-
vides an earlier warning. First test with Longand if this setting produces too many warn- ings, which could be perceived as irritating incertain situations, then change to warning distance
Normal.
Only use warning distance
Short in excep-
tional cases, e.g. for dynamic driving.
NOTE
When the adaptive cruise control is in use the warning lamp and warning sound willbe used by the cruise control even if thecollision warning system is switched off. The collision warning system warns the driver in the event of a risk of a collision,but the function cannot shorten driverreaction time. In order for the collision warning system to be effective, always drive with DistanceWarning (p. 202) set at time interval 4–5.
NOTE
Even if the warning distance has been set to Long warnings could be perceived as
being late in certain situations, e.g. when there are large differences in speed or ifvehicles in front brake heavily.
WARNING
No automatic system can guarantee 100 % correct function in all situations.Therefore, never test Collision Warningwith Auto Brake by driving at people orvehicles - this may cause severe damageand injury and risk lives.
Checking settingsThe settings required can be controlled on the centre console display screen. Searchwith the menu system (p. 103) MY CAR.

NOTE
The visual warning signal can be temporar- ily disengaged in the event of high passen-ger compartment temperature caused bystrong sunlight for example. If this occursthen the warning sound is activated even ifit is deactivated in the menu system.
• Warnings may not appear if the dis- tance to the vehicle in front is small orif steering wheel and pedal move-ments are large, e.g. a very active driv-ing style.
WARNING
Warnings and brake interventions could be implemented late or not at all if the trafficsituation or external influences mean thatthe radar or camera sensor cannot detecta pedestrian, a vehicle or a cyclist in frontcorrectly. The sensor system has a limited range for pedestrians and cyclists 19
- the system
can provide effective warnings and brake interventions for them at vehicle speeds upto 50 km/h. For stationary or slow-movingvehicles, warnings and brake interventionsare effective at vehicle speeds up to70 km/h. Warnings for stationary or slow-moving vehicles could be disengaged due to dark-ness or poor visibility. Warnings and brake interventions for pedestrians and cyclists are deactivated atvehicle speeds exceeding 80 km/h.
The collision warning system uses the same radar sensors as the Adaptive cruise control(p. 188). Read more about radar sensor limi-tations (p. 197). If warnings are perceived as being too fre- quent or disturbing then the warning distancecan be reduced (p. 217). This would lead tothe system warning at a later stage, whichreduces the total number of warnings. Collision Warning with Auto Brake is tempo-rarily deactivated with reverse gear engaged. Collision Warning with Auto Brake is not acti- vated at low speeds - under 4 km/h, which iswhy the system does not intervene in situa-tions where the car is approaching a vehiclein front very slowly, e.g. when parking. In situations where the driver demonstrates active, aware driving behaviour, a collisionwarning may be postponed slightly in order tokeep unnecessary warnings to a minimum. When Auto Brake has prevented a collision with a stationary object the car remains sta-tionary for a maximum of 1.5 seconds. If thecar is braked for a vehicle in front that is mov-ing, then speed is reduced to the same speedas that maintained by the vehicle in front. On a car with manual gearbox the engine stops when Auto Brake has stopped the car,unless the driver manages to depress theclutch pedal beforehand.

"Collision Warning with Auto Brake and Cyclist and Pedestrian Detection" is an aid toassist the driver when there is a risk of collid-ing with a pedestrian, bicycle or vehicle infront that are stationary or moving in the samedirection.
The function uses the car's camera sensor,
which has certain limitations. The car’s camera sensor is also used - as well as by Collision Warning with Auto Brake- by the functions:
• Automatic main/dipped beam dim- ming (p. 82)
• Road sign information (p. 179)
• Driver Alert Control - DAC (p. 224)
• Lane Keeping Aid (p. 229)
NOTE
Keep the windscreen surface in front of the camera sensor free from ice, snow, mistand dirt. Do not stick or attach anything to the windscreen in front of the camera sensoras this may reduce effectiveness or causeone or more of the systems dependent onthe camera to stop working.
The camera sensors have limitations similar to the human eye, i.e. they "see" worse in darkness, heavy snowfall or rain and in thickfog for example. Under such conditions thefunctions of camera-dependent systemscould be significantly reduced or temporarilydisengaged. Strong oncoming light, reflections in the car- riageway, snow or ice on the road surface,dirty road surfaces or unclear lane markingscould also significantly reduce camera sensorfunction when it is used to scan the carriage-way and detect pedestrians and other vehi-cles. The field of vision of the camera sensor is lim- ited, which is why pedestrians, cyclists andvehicles cannot be detected in some situa-tions, or they are detected later than anticipa-ted. During very high temperatures the camera is temporarily switched off for about 15 minutesafter the engine is started in order to protectcamera functionality.
Fault tracing and actionIf the display shows the messageWindscreen Sensors blocked then this
means that the camera sensor is blocked and cannot detect pedestrians, cyclists, vehiclesor road markings in front of the car. At the same time, this means that - besides Collision Warning with Auto Brake - the Auto-matic main/dipped beam dimming, Road SignInformation, Driver Alert Control and Lane
