• Press
or (4).
> The set speed, for example 60 mph (5), will be magnified for several seconds and the frame around the speed will change colors from white to green to indicate that this

182In 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 intervene and adapt the vehicle's speed to the surrounding traffic andregulate the distance to 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, for exam-ple, wet snow or rain.
Resuming the set speedIf ACC is in standby mode, it can be reactivated 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 con- siderably lower than the set speed.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) – Queue AssistQueue Assist is an added ACC feature that is linked to your vehicle's automatic transmission.
IntroductionQueue Assist is an added ACC feature that is linked to your vehicle's automatic transmission. Queue Assist consists of the following functions:
• Enhanced speed interval (including when the vehicle is at a complete stop or is moving atspeed below 18 mph (30 km/h))
• Automatic standby mode when ACC changestarget vehicles
• No automatic braking when at a standstill
• The parking brake is applied automatically
Please note that the lowest speed that can beset is 18 mph (30 km/h), although ACC canmaintain a set speed/distance to a vehicle aheaddown to a standstill. Queue Assist consists of thefollowing features:
Enhanced speed interval
NOTE
The driver's door must be closed and the driv- er's seat belt must be fastened before ACCcan be put in active mode. If the driver's seatbelt is taken off or if the driver's door isopened, ACC will return to standby mode.
Your vehicle can maintain the set time interval to the vehicle ahead at any permissible speed,including a complete stop. In order to activate ACC at speeds below 18 mph (30 km/h):
• The vehicle ahead must be within a reasona-ble distance (not farther away than approx.100 ft/30 meters)
• The lowest speed that can be selected is18 mph (30 km/h), although ACC will alsohelp maintain the set time interval to thevehicle ahead at lower speeds, including acomplete stop.
During short stops (less than approximately3 seconds) in slow-moving traffic, your vehiclewill begin moving again automatically as soon asthe vehicle ahead begins to move. If it takes more than 3 seconds for the vehicle ahead to begin moving, ACC will be automaticallygo into standby mode. The driver will then have to reactivate ACC in oneof the following ways: •
By pressing
• By accelerating up to at least 3 mph (4 km/h). ACC will then resume following thevehicle ahead.
Your vehicle will then resume following the vehi-cle ahead at the set time interval.
NOTE
ACC can remain active and keep your vehicle at a standstill for up to 4 minutes. After4 minutes have elapsed, the parking brakewill be engaged and ACC will go into standbymode. To reactivate ACC, the driver must release the parking brake (see Parking brake – generalinformation (p. 271)).

Automatic standby mode when ACC changes target vehicles
If the vehicle ahead turns suddenly, there may be a sta- tionary vehicle ahead
The following only applies at speeds below approximately 18 mph (30 km/h):
If ACC changes target vehicles (the vehicle thatthe radar sensor has detected) from a movingvehicle to a stationary one, the system will applythe brakes in your vehicle.
WARNING
At speeds above 18 mph (30 km/h), ACC
will not react to a stationary vehicle and apply the brakes but will instead accelerate to thepreviously set speed. The driver must activelyapply the brakes to stop the vehicle.
ACC disengages and goes into standby mode if: • Your vehicle's speed goes below 10 mph (15 km/h) and ACC cannot determine if thetarget object is a stationary vehicle or some other type of object such as e.g., a speedbump.
• Your vehicle's speed goes below 10 mph(15 km/h) and the vehicle ahead turns sothat ACC no longer has a target vehicle tofollow.
No automatic braking when at a
standstill
In certain situations, ACC will no longer apply thebrakes and go into standby mode while the vehi-cle is not moving. This means that the driver willhave to apply the brakes. This happens if:
• The driver presses the brake pedal
• The parking brake is activated
• The gear selected is moved to
P, N or R
• The driver presses the
button to put ACC
in standby mode
The parking brake is applied
automatically
In certain situations, ACC will apply the parking brake in order to continue keeping the vehicle ata standstill. This happens if:
• The driver opens the door or takes off his/her seat belt
• The stability system is put in Sport mode(see Stability system – operation (p. 167)) •
ACC has kept the vehicle at a standstill formore than 2 minutes
• The engine has been switched off
• The brakes have overheated
