Adaptive Cruise Control – setting speed
Setting a speedOnce ACC has been put in standby mode:
Controls and display
Put in active mode and set a speed (each additional press increases/decreasesspeed by 1 mph (approximately 2 km/h))
• Press
or (4).
> The set speed, for example 60 mph (5), will be magnified for several seconds and the frame around the speed will changecolors from white to green to indicate
that this speed has been stored (set).
When this symbol has changed col-ors from white to green , ACC is in
active mode and the vehicle will
maintain the set speed.
This symbol indicates that you are approaching a vehi-cle ahead. ACC will switch from main- taining a set speed to main-
taining a set distance from
that vehicle.
When this happens, a speed range will be indicated on
the speedometer: The higher speed (the cur-
rently set speed (5)) will be marked in green.
The lower speed in the range is the speed of
the vehicle ahead.
Changing the set speed
• After a speed has been set, it can be increased or decreased by briefly press- ing the
or buttons. Each time one
of these buttons is pressed, the vehicle's speed changes by 5 mph or 5 km/h. If thespeed is increased by pressing the accel-erator pedal, the vehicle's speed whenthe button is pressed will be set.
• Press and hold one of these buttons toincrease/decrease the speed in 1-mph or1-km/h increments. Release the buttonwhen you have reached the desiredspeed.
NOTE
•If one of the Adaptive Cruise Control buttons is pressed for more thanapproximately one minute, ACC will bedeactivated. The engine must then beswitched off and restarted to resetACC.
• In some situations Adaptive CruiseControl cannot be put in active mode.
Cruise control Unavailable is shown

WARNING
The vehicle may accelerate quickly after
has been pressed if its current speed is
considerably lower than the set speed.
Standby mode due to action by the driver
ACC is temporarily deactivated and put in standby mode:
• if the brakes are applied
• if the gear selector is moved to
N
• if the driver drives faster than the set speed for more than
1 minute.
In this happens, the driver will have to regu- late the vehicle's speed.
NOTE
If the accelerator pedal is only depressed for a short time, such as when passinganother vehicle, ACC is deactivated tem-porarily and is reactivated when the pedalis released.
Automatic standby modeACC is linked to other systems such as the stability system. If this system is not function-ing properly, ACC will switch off automati-cally. In the event of automatic deactivation, an audible signal will sound and the message
Cruise control Cancelled is shown in the
instrument panel. The driver must then inter- vene and adapt the vehicle's speed to thesurrounding traffic and regulate the distanceto the vehicle ahead. An automatic switch to standby mode may be caused if:
• engine speed (rpm) is too high/low
• The driver's door is opened
• The driver unbuckles his/her seat belt
• the vehicle's speed goes below 18 mph (30 km/h)
• the wheels lose traction
• brake temperature is high
• the radar sensor is obstructed by, forexample, wet snow or rain.
Resuming the set speedIf ACC is in standby mode, it can be reactiva- ted by pressing the
button on the steering
wheel keypad. The vehicle will return to the most recently set speed.
WARNING
The vehicle may accelerate quickly after
has been pressed if its current speed is
considerably lower than the set speed.
Turning ACC off completely
Controls and display
Resume previous settings.
Off/On/Standby mode
• From standby mode, press (2)
once.
• From active mode, press (2)
twice.
The set speed and time interval are then cleared from the system's memory and can- not be resumed by pressing (1)
.

lever.
SymbolMessageDescription
Green symbolA speed has been set.
White symbolACC is in standby mode but no speed has been set.
-Standard cruise control has been selected manually.
-Set ESC to Normal to enable CruiseACC cannot be put in active mode until the stability system is switched normal operating mode, see Stability system – introduction (p. 162) for more information.
-Cruise control Cancel- ledACC has been automatically switched off. The driver has to regulate the vehicle’s speed/distance to the vehicle ahead.
-Cruise control Unavail- ableACC cannot be put in active mode. This may be due to: • high brake temperature
• the radar sensor is obstructed (by heavy rain, snow, etc.)
Radar blocked See manualACC has been temporarily disconnected because the radar is obstructed in some way and cannot detect other vehicles. In this situation, the driver can switch to standard cruise control, see Toggling between ACC and CC (standard Cruise Control) (p. 171) See Adaptive Cruise Control – limitations (p. 181) for information on the radar sensor’s limitations.

Adaptive Cruise Control – troubleshooting
If the message Radar blocked See manualis displayed, this means that the radar signalsfrom the sensor have been obstructed and that a vehicle ahead cannot be detected. This, in turn, means that the functions of the ACC, Distance Alert, and Collision Warning
System with Auto-brake and PedestrianDetection will not function. The table lists possible causes for this mes- sage being displayed, and suitable actions.
CauseAction
The surface of the radar in the grille is dirty or obstructed in some way.Clean the radar surface, or remove the object causing the obstruction.
Heavy rain or snow is interfering with the radar signals.No action possible. Heavy precipitation may affect the function of the radar.
Swirling water or snow from the surface of the road may interfere with the radar signals.No action possible. A very wet or snow-covered road surface may affect the function of the radar.
The surface of the radar is clean but the message remains in the display.Wait a short time. It may take several minutes for the radar to detect that it is no longer obstructed.

Distance Alert – introduction
Distance Alert is part of Adaptive Cruise Con- trol and is a function that provides informationabout the time interval to the vehicle ahead.
IntroductionDistance Alert is active at speeds aboveapproximately 18 mph (30 km/h). Time inter-val information is only given for a vehicle thatis driving ahead of your vehicle in the samedirection. No information is provided for vehi-cles driving toward you, moving very slowly,or at a standstill.
Amber warning light3
.
An amber warning light in the windshield glows steadily if your vehicle is closer to theone ahead than the set time interval.
NOTE
Distance Alert only monitors distance to the vehicle ahead while Adaptive CruiseControl is in standby mode or off.
WARNING
Distance Alert only indicates the distance to the vehicle ahead. It does not affect thespeed of your vehicle.

Distance Alert – limitations
Distance Alert is part of Adaptive Cruise Con- trol and is a function that provides informationabout the time interval to the vehicle ahead.
LimitationsDistance Alert uses the same radar sensorused by Adaptive Cruise Control and the Col-lision Warning system. See Adaptive CruiseControl – limitations (p. 181) for more infor-mation on the radar sensor’s limitations.
NOTE
Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light contrasts, the use of sunglasses, or if thedriver is not looking straight ahead maymake the visual warning signal in the wind-shield difficult to see.
WARNING
•Bad weather or winding roads may affect the radar sensor’s capacity todetect vehicles ahead.
• The size of the vehicle ahead, such asa motorcycle, may also make it difficultto detect. This may result in the warn-ing light illuminating at a shorter dis-tance than the one that has been set,or that the light will not come on at all.
