Deactivating/reactivating the speed limiter
The speed limiter (Speed Limiter - SL) can be temporarily deactivated so that it is set in thestandby mode and can be reactivated later.
NOTE: The illustration is schematic - details may vary depending on car model.
Deactivate the speed limiter and set it
in standby mode
–Press the steering wheel button (2).
> The speed limit markings and symbols in the driver display change colour from WHITE to GREY - the speed limiter is nowtemporarily deactivated and the driver canexceed the maximum speed setting.
Reactivating the speed limiter from standby mode
–Press the steering wheel button (1).
> The driver display's speed limit markings change colour from GREY to WHITE - the car's speed is then limited again by thelast stored maximum speed.
or
–Press the steering wheel button (2).
> The speed limiter indicators and symbols in the driver display change colour from GREY to WHITE — the car will now applyits current speed as the maximum speed.
Temporary increase in speed with the accelerator pedal
The speed limiter can also be temporarily overrid- den with the accelerator pedal without the speedlimiter being set in standby mode - e.g. to be ableto quickly accelerate the car out of a situation. Inwhich case, proceed as follows:
1. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and release it so that acceleration is interrupted when the desired speed has been reached.
> In this case, the speed limiter is still acti-vated and the driver display's symbol is therefore WHITE.
2. Fully release the accelerator pedal when the temporary acceleration is finished.
> The car is then braked automaticallybelow the last stored maximum speed.

Changing the tolerance for the Automatic speed limiter
The speed limiter function (Automatic Speed Limiter - ASL) can be set for different tolerancelevels.
It is possible to increase/decrease the signed speed limit. If, for example, the car follows asigned speed limit of 70 km/h (43 mph) thedriver can instead choose to allow the car tomaintain 75 km/h (47 mph).
Buttons and symbols for functions.
–Press the steering wheel button (1)
until 70 km/h (43 mph) in the centre of the speedometer (4) changes to 75 km/h(47 mph).
> After which, the car uses the selected tol- erance 5 km/h (4 mph) as long as signs passed are showing 70 km/h (43 mph). The tolerance is followed until a road sign with a lower or higher speed is passed -then the car follows the new signedspeed limit instead and the tolerance isdeleted from the memory. If the Road Sign Information * function is
activated, the signed speed limit will then be shown with a RED indicator on thespeedometer. The tolerance is adjusted in the same way as thespeed setting is in the speed limiter.
NOTE
The maximum selectable tolerance is +/- 10 km/h (5 mph).

Standby mode on driver intervention
The cruise control is temporarily deactivated and set in standby mode if:
• the foot brake is used
• the gear selector is moved to
N position
• the clutch pedal is held depressed for longerthan 1 minute
• the driver maintains a speed higher than thestored speed for longer than 1 minute.
The driver must then control the speed himself/herself. A temporary increase in speed with the accelera- tor pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not affectthe setting - the car returns to the last storedspeed when the accelerator pedal is released.
Automatic standby mode
Cruise control is temporarily disengaged and set in standby mode if:
• wheels lose traction
• engine speed is too low/high
• brake temperature is too high
• speed falls below 30 km/h (20 mph).
The driver must then control the speed himself/herself.

Deactivating/activating the adaptive cruise control *
The adaptive cruise control (Adaptive Cruise Control - ACC) can be temporarily deactivatedso that it is set in the standby mode and canlater be reactivated.
Deactivate Adaptive Cruise Control and set it in standby mode
NOTE: The illustration is schematic - details may vary depending on car model.
To temporarily switch off Adaptive Cruise Control and set it in standby mode:
–Press the steering wheel button (2).
> The
symbol on the driver display
changes colour from WHITE to GREY and the stored speed in the centre of thespeedometer changes from BEIGE toGREY. In standby mode, the driver must him/herselfcontrol both speed and distance. When the adaptive cruise control is in standby mode and the car drives too close to a vehicleahead, the driver is warned about the short dis-tance by the Distance Warning function instead(see reference to the heading "Distance Warn-ing" at the end of this section).
Standby mode on driver intervention
The adaptive cruise control is temporarily deacti- vated and set in standby mode if:
• the foot brake is used
• the gear selector is moved to
N position.
• the driver maintains a speed higher than thestored speed for longer than 1 minute.
• the clutch pedal is depressed for approx. 1minute - applies to cars with manual gearbox.
In this situation, the driver must intervene andadapt the speed and distance to the vehicleahead. A temporary increase in speed with the accelera- tor pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not affectthe setting - the car returns to the last storedspeed when the accelerator pedal is released.
Automatic standby mode
Adaptive cruise control is dependent on other systems, e.g. stability control/anti-skid ESC. If anyof these systems stops working, adaptive cruisecontrol is switched off automatically. In the event of automatic deactivation a signal willsound and a message is shown in the driver dis-play. The driver must then intervene and adaptthe speed and distance to the vehicle ahead. Automatic deactivation may occur if:
• the speed is below 5 km/h (3 mph) and ACC is uncertain whether the vehicle ahead is astationary vehicle or an object, such as aspeed bump.
• the speed is below 5 km/h (3 mph) and thevehicle ahead turns off so that ACC nolonger has a vehicle to follow.
• speed is reduced to below 30 km/h(20 mph) - only applies to cars with manualgearbox.
• the driver opens the door
• the driver takes off the seatbelt
• engine speed is too low/high
• wheels lose traction
• brake temperature is high
• the parking brake is applied
• the camera and radar unit is covered by e.g.snow or heavy rainfall (camera lens/radiowaves are blocked).
