180This symbol indicates that you are approaching a vehicleahead. ACC will switch from maintain- ing a
set speed to maintaining
a set distance from that vehi-
cle.
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 pressing the
or buttons. Each time one of
these buttons is pressed, the vehicle's speed changes by 5 mph or 5 km/h. If the speed isincreased by pressing the accelerator pedal,the vehicle's speed when the button ispressed will be set.
• Press and hold one of these buttons toincrease/decrease the speed in 1-mph or 1-km/h increments. Release the button whenyou have reached the desired speed.
NOTE
•
If one of the Adaptive Cruise Control but- tons is pressed for more than approxi-mately one minute, ACC will be deacti-vated. The engine must then be switchedoff and restarted to reset ACC.
• In some situations Adaptive Cruise Con- trol cannot be put in active mode.

Different time intervals can be selected and are shown in the instrument panel
4
as 1–5 hori-
zontal bars. The greater the number of bars, the longer thetime interval. One bar repre-sents a time interval of approxi-
mately 1 second; 5 bars is approximately3 seconds.
To set/change a time interval:
• Press the
/ buttons (3).
At low speeds, when the distance to the vehicle ahead is short, ACC increases the time intervalslightly. In order to follow the vehicle ahead assmoothly as possible, ACC allows the time inter-val to vary considerably in certain situations.
WARNING
• Only use a time interval that is suitable in current traffic conditions.
• A short time interval gives the driver lim-ited reaction time if an unexpected situa-tion occurs in traffic.

This symbol and the marking for the set speed with change colors from green to white.
The previously set speed and time interval are resumed by pressing
(1).
WARNING
The vehicle may accelerate quickly after has been pressed if its current speed is con- siderably 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 regulate
the vehicle's speed.
NOTE
If the accelerator pedal is only depressed for a short time, such as when passing anothervehicle, ACC is deactivated temporarily and isreactivated when the pedal is released.
Automatic standby modeACC is linked to other systems such as the sta- bility system. If this system is not functioningproperly, ACC will switch off automatically.

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 – troubleshooting
If the message Radar blocked See manual is
displayed, this means that the radar signals from the sensor have been obstructed and that a vehi- cle ahead cannot be detected. This, in turn, means that the functions of the ACC, Distance Alert, and Collision Warning Sys-
tem with Auto-brake and Pedestrian Detectionwill not function. The table lists possible causes for this message being displayed, and suitable actions.
Cause
Action
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 thefunction 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.

Function
Location of the laser sensor in the windshield 7
City Safety
™ monitors traffic ahead of you using
a laser sensor mounted in the upper section of the windshield. If a collision is imminent, City Safety ™ will automatically apply the brakes,
which may feel like hard braking. If the difference in speed between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is more than approximately 9 mph (15 km/h), City Safety ™ alone cannot
prevent a collision from taking place. The driver must apply the brakes to help avoid a collision orreduce its effect. When the function activates and applies the brakes, a message will appear in the information display to indicate that the system is/has beenactive.
NOTE
•
When City Safety
™ applies the brakes,
the brake lights will illuminate.
• In cases where City Safety
™ has stopped
the vehicle, the system will then release the brakes. The driver must apply thebrakes to keep the vehicle at a standstill.
