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).

Reactivating adaptive cruise control from standby mode
NOTE: The illustration is schematic - details may vary depending on car model.
To reactivate ACC from standby mode:
–Press the steering wheel button (1).
> The speed is then set to the most recently stored speed.
NOTE
A marked speed increase may occur once the speed has been resumed by pressing steer- ing wheel button

Overtaking assistance with the adaptive cruise control * or
Pilot Assist *
Adaptive cruise control (Adaptive Cruise Control - ACC) or Pilot Assist can assist the driver whenovertaking other vehicles.
When ACC or Pilot Assist is following another vehicle and the driver indicates the intention to overtake by activating the direction indicator
6
,
adaptive cruise control or Pilot Assist helps byaccelerating the car towards the vehicle aheadbefore the car reaches the overtaking lane. The function then delays reducing speed in order to avoid premature braking when the driver

–Activate the direction indicator. Use the left direction indicator in a car with the steering wheel on the left, or the rightdirection indicator in a car with the steeringwheel on the right.
> Overtaking assistance is started.
LimitationsWhen using Overtaking Assistance the driver should be prepared for sudden changes in condi-tions. In some conditions Overtaking Assistancecan cause unwanted acceleration. Some situations should be avoided for this rea- son. Examples of such situations are:
• the car is approaching an exit road in orderto turn off in the same direction that is nor-mally used for overtaking
• the vehicle in front slows before your car hasentered the overtaking lane
• traffic in the overtaking lane is slowing
• a car designed for right-hand traffic is beingdriven in a country with left-hand traffic (orvice versa).
Situations of this kind can be avoided by tempo-rarily setting ACC or Pilot Assist in standby mode.

Change of target and automatic braking with the Adaptive CruiseControl
In combination with automatic gearbox, the adaptive cruise control (Adaptive Cruise Control- ACC ) has functionality for change of targetand braking at certain speeds.
Change of target
If the target vehicle in front suddenly turns then there may be stationary traffic in front.
When the adaptive cruise control is following another vehicle at speeds below 30 km/h
(20 mph) and the target is changed from a mov- ing vehicle to a stationary vehicle, the adaptivecruise control will brake for the stationary vehicle.
WARNING
When the adaptive cruise control is following another vehicle at speeds in excess of
approx. 30 km/h (20 mph) and the target is changed from a moving vehicle to a stationaryvehicle, the adaptive cruise control will ignorethe stationary vehicle and instead select thestored speed.
• The driver must then 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 (3 mph) and the adaptive cruise control is uncertainwhether the target object is a stationary vehi-cle or some other object, such as a speedbump.
• when the speed is below 5 km/h (3 mph)and the vehicle ahead turns off so the adap-tive cruise control no longer has a vehicle tofollow.
Automatic brakingFor shorter stops in connection with inching inslow traffic or at traffic lights driving is automati-cally resumed if the stops do not exceed about3 seconds - if it takes longer before the car in

300 front starts moving again then the adaptive cruise control is set in standby mode with automaticbraking.
–The Adaptive Cruise Control is reactivated in one of the following ways:
• Press the steering wheel button
.
• Depress the accelerator pedal.
> The Adaptive Cruise Control resumes fol- lowing the vehicle ahead if it starts mov- ing forward within 6 seconds.
NOTE
ACC can keep the car stationary for a maxi- mum of 5 minutes. After this the parkingbrake is applied and adaptive cruise control isdisengaged. The parking brake must be released before the adaptive cruise control can be reactivated.
Cessation of automatic braking
In some situations, automatic braking ceases on reaching 0 km/h and Adaptive Cruise Control isset in standby mode. This means that the brakesare released and the car may start to roll - thedriver must therefore intervene and brake the carhimself/herself to keep it stationary. This may take place in the following situations:
• the driver puts his/her foot on the brakepedal
• the parking brake is applied
• the gear selector is moved to
P, N , or R posi-
tion
• the driver sets the adaptive cruise control inthe standby mode.
Automatic activation of parking brakeIn certain situations the parking brake is appliedto keep the car stationary. This takes place if the adaptive cruise control is holding the car stationary with the foot brake and: •the driver opens the door or takes off his/her seatbelt
• ACC has kept the car stationary for morethan approx. 5 minutes
• the brakes have overheated
• the engine is switched off.

Limitations of the adaptive cruise control *
The (Adaptive Cruise Control - ACC) may have limitations in certain situations.
Steep roads and/or heavy loadBear in mind that the adaptive cruise control is primarily intended for use when driving on levelroad surfaces. The function may have difficulty inkeeping the correct distance from the vehicleahead when driving on steep downhill slopes - inwhich case, be extra attentive and ready to brake.Do not use the adaptive cruise control with aheavy load or with a trailer connected to the car.
Miscellaneous
• Drive mode Off Road cannot be selected
when the adaptive cruise control is activated.
NOTE
The function uses the car's radar unit, which has some general limitations, see the "Limita-tions for radar unit" section.
