Camera/radar sensor distance monitoring
Adaptive Cruise Control utilizes approx. 40% of the vehicle's braking capacity. If a situationrequires more braking force than the AdaptiveCruise Control can provide, and if the driver doesnot apply the brakes, a warning light and audiblewarning signal will be activated to alert the driverthat immediate action is required.
WARNING
Adaptive Cruise Control only issues a warning for vehicles detected by its radar unit – thus, awarning may come after a delay or not at all.
• Never wait for a warning. Apply the brakes when necessary.

Activating and starting AdaptiveCruise Control Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC 44
) must first be
activated and then started before it can regulate speed and distance.
Putting Adaptive Cruise Control in standby mode
Note: This illustration is general and details may vary depending on model.
Adaptive Cruise Control is in standby mode each time the engine is started. To put ACC in standbymode from active mode:
–Press ◀ (2) or ▶ (3) on the steering wheel
keypad and scroll to the
(4) function.
> The symbol will appear and Adaptive Cruise Control will go into standby mode.
Starting/activating Adaptive Cruise Control
To start ACC:
• The driver's seat belt must be buckled and the driver's door must be closed.
• There must be a vehicle ahead (target vehi-cle) within a reasonable distance or yourvehicle's current speed must be at least15 km/h (9 mph).
Note: This illustration is general and details may vary depending on model.
–With the (4) function displayed, press
(1) on the steering wheel keypad.
> Adaptive Cruise Control will start and the current speed will be stored, which will be shown by numbers in the center of thespeedometer. ACC will only regulate the timeinterval to the vehicle aheadwhen the distance symbolshows two vehicles.
A speed interval will be marked at the same time. The higher speed is the set speed for your vehicle and thelower speed is the speed of thevehicle ahead (target vehicle).

Managing Adaptive Cruise Controlspeed
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC 45
) can be set to
various speeds.
Setting/changing set speed
Note: This illustration is general and details may vary depending on model and market.
: Increases the set speed.
: Reduces the set speed.
Set speed.
–Change a set speed by pressing the (1)
or
(2) buttons briefly or by pressing and
holding them:
• Press briefly
: Press briefly: each press
changes the speed in +/- 5 mph (+/- 5 km/h) increments.
• Press
and hold: Release the button when
the set speed indicator (3) has moved tothe desired speed.
• The most recently set speed will be stored.
If speed is increased by depressing the accelera- tor pedal while pressing the
button on the
steering wheel, the vehicle's speed when the but- ton is pressed will be stored as the set speed. Temporarily increasing speed using the accelera- tor pedal, e.g. when passing another vehicle, willnot affect the setting. The vehicle will return tothe set speed when the accelerator pedal isreleased.
Automatic transmission
Adaptive Cruise Control can follow another vehi- cle at speeds from a standstill up to 200 km/h(125 mph). The lowest speed that can be set for Adaptive Cruise Control is 30 km/h (20 mph). When fol-lowing another vehicle, ACC can monitor thatvehicle's speed and slow your own vehicle down to a standstill, but it is not possible to set speedslower than 30 km/h (20 mph). The highest possible speed that can be set is 200 km/h (125 mph).

Setting Adaptive Cruise Controltime intervals Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC 46
) can be set to
various time intervals to the vehicle ahead.
Different time intervals to the vehicle ahead can be selectedand are shown in the instru-ment panel as 1–5 horizontalbars. The more bars, the longerthe time interval. One bar rep-resents an interval of
approx. 1 second to the vehicle ahead. 5 barsrepresents approx. 3 seconds. The same symbol appears when the Distance Alert function is activated.
NOTE
When the symbol in the instrument panel shows two vehicles, ACC is following the vehi-cle ahead at a preset time interval. When only one vehicle is shown, there is no vehicle ahead within a reasonable distance.
Controls for setting a time interval 47
.
Reduce the time interval
Increase the time interval
Distance indicator
–Press the (1) or (2) button to decrease or increase the time interval.
> The distance indicator (3) shows the cur-
rent time interval.
In order to help your vehicle follow the vehicle ahead as smoothly and comfortably as possible,Adaptive Cruise Control allows the time intervalto vary noticeably in certain situations. At lowspeeds, when the distance to the vehicle aheadis short, Adaptive Cruise Control increases thetime interval slightly.
NOTE
• The greater the vehicles' speed, the greater the distance between them for aset time interval.
• Only use the time intervals permitted bylocal traffic regulations.
• If the Adaptive Cruise Control does notseem to respond with a speed increasewhen activated, it may be because thetime interval to the vehicle ahead isshorter than the set time interval.
WARNING
•Only use a time interval suitable for the current traffic conditions.
• The driver should be aware that shorttime intervals give them limited time toreact and act to any unforeseen trafficsituation.
Setting how ACC should maintain distance
* to the vehicle ahead
A number of different settings can be made for how Adaptive Cruise Control should maintain atime interval to the vehicle ahead. Settings are made using the DRIVE MODE controls.

292 Select one of the following:
•
Eco - ACC will focus on providing optimal
fuel economy, which will increase the time interval to the vehicle ahead.
•
Comfort - ACC will focus on following the
set time interval to the vehicle ahead as smoothly as possible.
•
Dynamic - ACC will focus on following the
set time interval to the vehicle ahead more exactly, which could mean faster accelerationand heavier braking.
For more information, see "Drive modes".

Deactivating/reactivating AdaptiveCruise Control Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC 48
) can be tempo-
rarily put into standby mode and then reactiva- ted.
Deactivating and putting Adaptive Cruise Control in standby mode
Note: This illustration is general and details may vary depending on model.
To temporarily deactivate Adaptive Cruise Control and put it in standby mode:
–Press the button on the steering wheel
(2). > The
symbol in the instrument panel
changes color from WHITE to GRAY and the set speed in the center of the speed-ometer will change from BEIGE to GRAY.
WARNING
• If Adaptive Cruise Control is in standby mode, the driver must intervene and regu-late both speed and distance to the vehicleahead.
• If the vehicle comes too close to a vehicleahead when Adaptive Cruise Control is instandby mode, the driver is instead warnedof the short distance by the Distance Alertfunction.

Standby mode due to action by the driver
Adaptive Cruise Control will be temporarily deac- tivated and put in standby mode if:
• the brakes are applied.
• the gear selector is moved to
N
• the vehicle is driven faster than the setspeed for more than 1 minute
Temporarily increasing speed using the accelera-
tor pedal, e.g. when passing another vehicle, willnot affect the setting. The vehicle will return tothe set speed when the accelerator pedal isreleased.
Automatic standby mode
Adaptive Cruise Control is dependent on other systems, such as Electronic Stability Control (ESC 49
). If any of these other systems stops
working, Adaptive Cruise Control will automati- cally switch off.
WARNING
With automatic standby mode, the driver is warned by an acoustic signal and a messageon the instrument panel. • The driver must then regulate vehicle speed, apply the brakes if necessary, andmaintain a safe distance to other vehicles. Adaptive Cruise Control may go into standbymode if:
• your vehicle's speed goes below 5 km/h(3 mph) and ACC cannot determine if thevehicle ahead is stationary or if it is anotherobject, e.g. a speed bump.
• your vehicle's speed goes under 5 km/h(3 mph) and the vehicle ahead turns so thatACC no longer has a vehicle to follow.
• the driver opens the door.
• the driver unbuckles the seat belt.
• the engine speed (rpm) is too low/high.
• one or more of the wheels lose traction.
• the brake temperature is high.
• the parking brake is applied.
• the camera/radar sensor is covered by snowor heavy rain (the camera lens/radar wavesare blocked)
Reactivating Adaptive Cruise Control from standby mode
Note: This illustration is general and details may vary depending on model.
To reactivate ACC from standby mode:
–Press the button on the steering wheel
(1).
> Speed will be set to the most recently stored speed.
WARNING
A noticeable increase in speed may follow when the speed is resumed with the
steering wheel button.

Passing assistance with AdaptiveCruise Control Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC 50
) can assist the
driver when passing other vehicles.
How passing assistance worksWhen ACC is following another vehicle and you indicate that you intend to pass that vehicle by using the turn signal 51
, Adaptive Cruise Control
will begin accelerating toward the vehicle ahead before your vehicle has moved into the passing
lane. The function will then delay a speed reduction to avoid early braking as your vehicle approaches aslower-moving vehicle. The function remains active until your vehicle has passed the other vehicle.
WARNING
Please note that this function can be acti- vated in more situations than just passinganother vehicle, such as when a direction indi-cator is used to indicate a lane change orbefore exiting to another road – the vehiclewill then briefly accelerate.

Starting passing assistance withAdaptive Cruise Control
Requirements for passing assistanceIn order to activate passing assistance:
• your vehicle must be following a vehicle ahead (target vehicle)
• your vehicle's
current speed must be
at least 70 km/h (43 mph)
• the set speed
for ACC must be high
enough to safely pass another vehicle.
Starting parking assistanceTo start passing assistance:
–Turn on the left turn signal.
> Passing assistance will start.

Limitations of passing assistancewith Adaptive Cruise Control
Passing assistance functionality may be reduced in certain situations.
WARNING
The driver should be aware that if conditions suddenly change when using Parking Assis-tance, the function may implement an unde-sired acceleration in certain conditions. Some situations should be avoided, e.g. if: • the vehicle is approaching an exit in the same direction as passing would normallyoccur
• the vehicle ahead slows before your vehi-cle has had time to switch to the passinglane
• traffic in the passing lane slows down
• a vehicle for right-hand traffic is driven ina country with left-hand traffic (or viceversa).
Situations of this type can be avoided by tempo- rarily putting ACC 52
in standby mode.
