Using engine braking instead of
applying the brakes
Cruise Control regulates speed by lightly applyingthe brakes. On downgrades, it can sometimes bedesirable to roll a bit faster and let speed bereduced instead by engine braking alone. Thedriver can temporarily disengage the Cruise Con-trol braking function.
To disengage CC:
–Press the accelerator pedal about halfwaydown and then release it.
> Cruise Control will automatically disen-gage the automatic brake function andspeed will only be reduced using theengine braking function.
How drive mode affects cruise control
The way the cruise control maintains the vehicle'sspeed can vary depending on the selected drive
mode22.
Cruise Control Eco Cruise with ECO drive
mode
In the ECO drive mode, cruise control's accelera-tion and deceleration will be smoother than inother drive modes to help provide optimal fuelefficiency and reduced environmental impact.Because of this, the vehicle's actual speed maybe slightly above or below the set speed.
Cruise Control Dynamic Cruise
With the Dynamic drive mode, cruise control'sacceleration and deceleration will be faster andmore immediate than in other drive modes.

Standby mode due to action by the driver
Cruise Control will be temporarily deactivated andput 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
The driver must then control the vehicle's 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 standby mode
Cruise Control will be temporarily deactivated andput in standby mode if:
the wheels lose traction
the engine speed (rpm) is too low/high
the temperature in the brake systembecomes too high
the vehicle's speed goes below 30 km/h(20 mph).
The driver must then control the vehicle's speed.

To temporarily deactivate Adaptive Cruise Controland put it in standby mode:
–Press the button on the steering wheel(2).
>The symbol in the instrument panelchanges color from WHITE to GRAY andthe set speed in the center of the speed-ometer will change from BEIGE to GRAY.
WARNING
If Adaptive Cruise Control is in standbymode, 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 othersystems, such as Electronic Stability Control
(ESC42). If any of these other systems stopsworking, Adaptive Cruise Control will automati-cally switch off.
WARNING
With automatic standby mode, the driver iswarned by an acoustic signal and a messageon the instrument panel.
The driver must then regulate vehiclespeed, 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.

Passing assistance with AdaptiveCruise Control
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC43) can assist thedriver when passing other vehicles.
How passing assistance works
When ACC is following another vehicle and youindicate that you intend to pass that vehicle by
using the turn signal44, Adaptive Cruise Controlwill begin accelerating toward the vehicle aheadbefore your vehicle has moved into the passinglane.
The function will then delay a speed reduction toavoid early braking as your vehicle approaches aslower-moving vehicle.
The function remains active until your vehicle haspassed 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.

WARNING
When Adaptive Cruise Control follows anothervehicle at speeds over approx. 30 km/h(20 mph) and changes target vehicle – from amoving vehicle to a stationary one – AdaptiveCruise Control will ignore the stationary vehi-cle and instead accelerate to the storedspeed.
The driver must then intervene and applythe brakes.
Automatic standby mode when switching
targets
Adaptive Cruise Control will be disabled and gointo standby mode:
if your vehicle's speed goes below 5 km/h(3 mph) and Adaptive Cruise Control cannotdetermine if the target object is a stationaryvehicle or another object, e.g. a speed bump.
if your vehicle's speed goes under 5 km/h(3 mph) and the vehicle ahead turns so thatAdaptive Cruise Control no longer has a vehi-cle to follow.

Automatic braking with AdaptiveCruise Control
The Adaptive cruise control (ACC47) has a spe-cial brake function in slow traffic and while sta-tionary.
Braking function in slow traffic and at a
standstill
In slow-moving, stop-and-go traffic or when stop-ped at a traffic light, driving will resume automati-cally if the vehicle is stopped for less thanapprox. 3 seconds. If it takes more than 3 sec-onds for the vehicle ahead to begin moving again,Adaptive Cruise Control will go into standbymode and the Auto-hold brake function will acti-vate.
–Adaptive Cruise Control can be reactivated inone of the following ways:
Pressing the button on the steeringwheel keypad.
Pressing the accelerator pedal.
> Adaptive Cruise Control will resume fol-lowing the vehicle ahead if it begins tomove within approx. 6 seconds.
NOTE
ACC can keep the vehicle stationary for nomore than 5 minutes – after that time theparking brake is applied and Adaptive CruiseControl is deactivated.
The parking brake must be released beforeAdaptive Cruise Control can be reactivated.
Deactivation of the Auto-hold brake function
In certain situations, Auto-hold will be deactivatedwhen the vehicle is at a standstill and AdaptiveCruise Control will go into standby mode. Thismeans that the brakes will be released and thevehicle could begin to roll. The driver mustactively apply the brakes to keep the vehicle sta-tionary.
This can occur if:
the driver depresses the brake pedal
the parking brake is applied
the gear selector is moved to the P, N or Rpositions
the driver puts Adaptive Cruise Control instandby mode.
