Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) helps the driver maintain a safe distance/time interval to the vehi-cle ahead.

WARNING
Switching from ACC to CC means that:
• Your vehicle will
no longer automatically
maintain a set distance to a vehicle ahead.
• Only the set speed will be maintained andthe driver will have to apply the brakeswhen needed.
Switching from CC to ACC
Switch off cruise control by pressing once or
twice as needed according to the instructions in the previous section "Turning ACC off com- pletely." The next time the system is switched on,ACC will be reactivated.

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.

• 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.
