Activating and starting the adaptive cruise control *
The adaptive cruise control (Adaptive Cruise Control - ACC) must first be activated and thenstarted if it is to control the speed and distance.
NOTE: The illustration is schematic - details may vary depending on car model.
Activate Adaptive Cruise ControlImmediately after the engine is started the Adap- tive Cruise Control is in the standby mode.
–Press ◀ (2) or ▶ (3) to browse to the sym-
bol/function

> The symbol is displayed and Adaptive Cruise Control is set in standby mode.
Start Adaptive Cruise ControlIn order to start the ACC the following require- ments apply:
• The driver's seatbelt must be buckled andthe driver's door must be closed.
• There must be a vehicle (the "target vehicle")within reasonable distance in front of the car,or the current speed must be at least15 km/h (9 mph).
• For cars with manual gearbox. Speed mustbe at the lowest 30 km/h (20 mph).
–With the symbol/function displayed -
press the steering wheel button
(1).
> Adaptive cruise control starts and the cur- rent speed is stored, which is shown in figures in the centre of the speedometer.
The time interval is onlyadjusted to the vehicle aheadby the ACC when the distancesymbol shows two vehicles.
At the same time a speed range is marked. The higher speed is the stored/selected speed and thelower speed is that of the vehi-cle ahead (target vehicle).

Setting the time interval for the adaptive cruise control *
The adaptive cruise control (Adaptive Cruise Control -ACC) can be set to different time inter-vals.
Different time intervals to the vehicle in front can be selectedand shown in the driver displayas 1-5 horizontal lines - themore lines the longer the timeinterval. One line representsabout 1 second to the vehicle
in front, 5 lines represents about 3 seconds. The same symbol is also shown when the Dis- tance Warning function is activated.
NOTE
When the symbol in the driver display shows two cars, ACC is following the vehicle in frontat a pre-set time interval. When only one car is shown, there is no vehi- cle within a reasonable distance ahead.
Control for time interval.
Decrease time interval

Distance indicator
–Press the steering wheel button (1) or (2) to increase or decrease the time interval.
> The distance indicator (3) shows the cur- rent time interval.
The adaptive cruise control allows the time inter- val to vary significantly in certain situations inorder to allow the car to follow the vehicle in frontsmoothly and comfortably. At low speed, whenthe distances are short, the adaptive cruise con-trol increases the time interval slightly. Note that a short time interval only allows the driver a short time to react and take action if anyunforeseen problem should arise.
NOTE
Only use the time intervals permitted by local traffic regulations. If the adaptive cruise control does not appear to react when activated, this may be becausethe time distance to the vehicle in front is pre-venting an increase in speed. The higher the speed the longer the calcula- ted distance in metres for a given time inter-val.

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).

Overtaking assistance with the adaptive cruise control * or

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

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.
