For vehicles with both CC and ACC
–
Change a set speed by pressing the (1)
or (3) 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 (4) has moved to
the desired speed.
The most recently set speed will be stored.
If speed is increased by depressing the accelera-
tor pedal while pressing the (1) button on
the steering wheel, the vehicle's speed when the
button is pressed will be stored as the set speed.
Temporarily increasing speed using the accelera-
tor pedal, e.g. when passing another vehicle, will
not affect the setting. The vehicle will return to
the set speed when the accelerator pedal is
released.
Using engine braking instead of
applying the brakes
Cruise Control regulates speed by lightly applying
the brakes. On downgrades, it can sometimes be
desirable to roll a bit faster and let speed be
reduced instead by engine braking alone. The
driver can temporarily disengage the Cruise Con-
trol braking function. To disengage CC:
– Press the accelerator pedal about halfway
down and then release it.
>

Cruise Control will automatically disen-
gage the automatic brake function and
speed will only be reduced using the
engine braking function.
How drive mode affects cruise controlThe way the cruise control maintains the vehicle's
speed can vary depending on the selected drive
mode 26
.
Cruise Control Eco Cruise with ECO drive
mode
In the ECO drive mode, cruise control's accelera-
tion and deceleration will be smoother than in
other drive modes to help provide optimal fuel
efficiency and reduced environmental impact.
Because of this, the vehicle's actual speed may
be slightly above or below the set speed.
Cruise Control Dynamic Cruise
With the Dynamic drive mode, cruise control's
acceleration and deceleration will be faster and
more immediate than in other drive modes.

Standby mode due to action by the driver
Cruise Control will be temporarily deactivated and
put in standby mode if: the brakes are applied
the gear selector is moved to N
the vehicle is driven faster than the set
speed 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, will
not affect the setting. The vehicle will return to
the set speed when the accelerator pedal is
released.
Automatic standby mode
Cruise Control will be temporarily deactivated and
put in standby mode if:
the wheels lose traction
the engine speed (rpm) is too low/high
the temperature in the brake system
becomes too high
the vehicle's speed goes below 30 km/h
(20 mph).
The driver must then control the vehicle's speed.

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 vehicle
ahead.
If the vehicle comes too close to a vehicle
ahead when Adaptive Cruise Control is in
standby mode, the driver is instead warned
of the short distance by the Distance Alert
function.
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 set
speed for more than 1 minute Temporarily increasing speed using the accelera-
tor pedal, e.g. when passing another vehicle, will
not affect the setting. The vehicle will return to
the set speed when the accelerator pedal is
released.
Automatic standby mode
Adaptive Cruise Control is dependent on other
systems, such as Electronic Stability Control
(ESC
47
). 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 message
on the instrument panel.

The driver must then regulate vehicle
speed, apply the brakes if necessary, and
maintain a safe distance to other vehicles.
Adaptive Cruise Control may go into standby
mode if: your vehicle's speed goes below 5 km/h
(3 mph) and ACC cannot determine if the
vehicle ahead is stationary or if it is another
object, e.g. a speed bump.
your vehicle's speed goes under 5 km/h
(3 mph) and the vehicle ahead turns so that
ACC 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 snow
or heavy rain (the camera lens/radar waves
are blocked)

Adaptive Cruise Control* (p. 300) Adaptive Cruise Control limitations
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC 53
) may have lim-
ited functionality in certain situations.
Steep roads and/or heavy loadsAdaptive Cruise Control is primarily intended to
be driven on flat roads. The function may not be
able to maintain the correct time interval to the
vehicle ahead when driving down steep hills. The
driver should be extra attentive and prepared to
apply the brakes.
Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control if the
vehicle is carrying a heavy load or towing a
trailer.
Other limitations

The
Off Road drive mode cannot be
selected if Adaptive Cruise Control is acti-
vated.
NOTE The function uses the vehicle's combined
camera and radar unit, which has certain gen-
eral limitations; see sections "Camera limita-
tions" and "Radar sensor limitations".
