Alarm indicator
The alarm indicator shows alarm system (p. 171) status.
Same LED as lock indicator (p. 150).
A red LED on the instrument panel indicates the alarm system's status:
• LED not lit – Alarm not armed
• The LED flashes once every other second – Alarm is armed
• The LED flashes rapidly after disarmingthe alarm (and until the remote controlkey is inserted in the ignition switch andkey position
I is selected) – Alarm has
been triggered.
Alarm - automatic re-arming
Automatic re-arming of the alarm (p. 171) pre- vents the car being left with the alarm dis-armed unintentionally. If the car is unlocked with the remote control key (and the alarm is disarmed) but none ofthe doors or the tailgate is opened within 2minutes, then the alarm is automatically re-armed. The car is relocked at the same time.

Adaptive cruise control* - function
The adaptive cruise control (ACC – Adaptive Cruise Control) helps the driver to maintain aneven speed and a safe distance from the vehi-cle ahead. It consists of a cruise control sys-tem and a coordinated spacing system.

Warning lamp - braking by driver required
Steering wheel keypad (p. 190)
Radar sensor (p. 197)
WARNING
Adaptive cruise control is not a collision avoidance system. The driver must inter-vene if the system does not detect a vehi-cle in front. The adaptive cruise control does not brake for humans or animals, and not for smallvehicles such as bicycles and motorcy-cles. Nor for oncoming, slow or stationaryvehicles and objects. Do not use the adaptive cruise control, for example, in city traffic, in dense traffic, atjunctions, on slippery surfaces, with a lotof water or slush on the road, in heavyrain/snow, in poor visibility, on windingroads or on slip roads.
Distance to the vehicle ahead (p. 192) is measured primarily by a radar sensor (p.197). Cruise control regulates the speed withacceleration and braking. It is normal for thebrakes to emit a low sound when they arebeing used by the adaptive cruise control.
WARNING
The brake pedal moves when Cruise Con- trol brakes. Do not rest your foot beneaththe brake pedal as it may become trapped.
The adaptive cruise control aims to follow the vehicle ahead in the same lane at a time inter-val set by the driver. If the radar sensor can-not see any vehicle in front then the car willinstead maintain the cruise control's setspeed. This also happens if the speed of thevehicle in front exceeds the cruise control'sset speed. The adaptive cruise control aims to control the speed in a smooth way. In situations thatdemand sudden braking the driver mustbrake himself/herself. This applies with largedifferences in speed, or if the vehicle in frontbrakes heavily. Due to limitations in the radarsensor (p. 197) braking may come unexpect-edly or not at all. The adaptive cruise control can be activated to follow another vehicle at speeds from 30 km/h 7
up to 200 km/h. If the speed falls
below 30 km/h or if the engine speed becomes too low, the cruise control is set instandby mode (p. 193) at which automaticbraking ceases - the driver must then takeover himself/herself to maintain a safe dis-tance to the vehicle ahead.
Warning lamp - braking by driver required
Adaptive cruise control has a braking capacity that is equivalent to more than 40%of the car's braking capacity.
6 NOTE: The illustration is schematic - details may differ depending on car model.
7 Queue Assistant (p. 195) (in cars with automatic gearbox) can operate in the range of 0-200 km/h.

190* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
If the car needs to be braked more heavily than cruise control capacity and the driverdoes not brake, then cruise control uses thewarning lamp and warning sound from theCollision warning system (p. 212) in order toalert the driver that immediate intervention isrequired.
NOTE
The warning lamp may be difficult to see in strong sunlight or when wearing sun-glasses.
WARNING
Cruise Control warns only of vehicles which the radar sensor has detected.Hence the warning may not be given, or itmay be given with a certain delay. Do notwait for a warning without braking when sorequired.
Steep roads and/or heavy loadBear in mind that the adaptive cruise control is primarily intended for use when driving onlevel road surfaces. It may have difficulty inkeeping the correct distance from the vehicleahead when driving on steep downhill slopes,with a heavy load or with a trailer - in whichcase, be extra attentive and ready to slowdown.

At the same time a speed range is marked:
• the higher speed with the GREEN mark- ing (6) is the pre-programmed speed
• the lower speed is the speed of the car infront.
Changing the speedTo change the stored speed: •
Adjust with short presses on
or -
every press gives +/- 5 km/h. The last presses made are stored in the memory.
If speed is increased using the accelera- tor pedal prior to pressing the
/ but-
ton, then it is the car's current speed when the button is pressed that is storedin the cruise control.
To adjust +/- 1 km/h: • Hold down the button and release it at the required speed.
NOTE
If any of the Cruise Control buttons are held depressed for several minutes then itis blocked and deactivated. To be able toreactivate Cruise Control, the car must bestopped and the engine restarted. In certain situations, cruise control cannot be activated. In this case, the combined instrument panel (p. 200) shows

Adaptive cruise control* - set time interval
The adaptive cruise control (ACC – Adaptive Cruise Control) helps the driver to maintain aneven speed and a safe distance from the vehi-cle ahead.
Different time intervals to thevehicle in front can beselected and shown in thecombined instrument panelas 1-5 horizontal lines - themore lines the longer thetime interval. One line corre-
sponds to approximately 1 second to thevehicle in front, 5 linesapproximately 3 seconds.
To set/change the time distance:
• Turn the thumbwheel on the steering wheel keypad (p. 190) (or use the
/buttons for cars without Speed limiter).
At low speed, when the distances are short, the adaptive cruise control increases the timeinterval slightly. The adaptive cruise control allows the time interval to vary noticeably in certain situationsin order to allow the car to follow the vehiclein front smoothly and comfortably. Note that a short time interval only allows the driver a short time to react and take action ifany unforeseen traffic problem should arise.

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.

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.
