The ACC uses the fr ont r
adar technology.
Read its maintenance instructions and infor-
mation about its limitations ››› page 211
. WARNING
The ACC’s technology cannot overcome
the syst em's inher

ent limitations or change
the laws of physics. If used negligently or
involuntarily, it may cause serious acci-
dents and injuries. The system is not a re-
placement for driver awareness.

Driving
The ACC does not regulate anything yet
(st andby).
St
art regulation

Driving
You can cancel this regulation by changing
the set speed or by pr essing the accel
erator
pedal.
The function works at speeds over 80 km/h
(50 mph). It may not be available in certain
countries.
Overtaking
When the turn signal is switched on for over-
taking, the ACC reduces the distance from
the vehicle in front to help with the overtaking
manoeuvre. The set cruising speed will not be
exceeded.
The function works at speeds over 80 km/h
(50 mph). It may not be available in certain
countries.
Stop&Go function
 Valid for: vehicles with an automatic gearbox
The ACC can bring the vehicle to a standstill
(0 km/h) if the vehicle in front stops.
The ACC remains active and the message
ACC ready to start is displayed on the in-
strument cluster for a few seconds. During
this time, the vehicle will move off again if the
vehicle in front moves forwards.
If the vehicle in front does not move off, the
vehicle can be kept at a standstill with the
status ACC ready to start by pressing the
brake. The system can only keep the car stopped
for a f
ew seconds. After this, the Brake warn-
ing will be displayed and an audio warning
will be played. Press the brake pedal. The ve-
hicle may start moving forward if you do not
do this Accident hazard!
The ACC is deactivated while stopped in the
following cases:

Driving
The ACC does not work as expected

Braking and parking
At high speed and with the windscreen wipers
activ at
ed, the brake pads will briefly touch
the brake discs. This takes place, although
unnoticeable to the driver, at regular intervals
to improve the response time of the brakes
when they are wet.
The effectiveness of the brakes can also be
temporarily reduced if the vehicle is driven for
some distance without using the brakes when
there is a lot of salt on the road in winter. The
layer of salt that accumulates on the discs
and pads can be removed by gently apply-
ing the brakes a few times.
Corrosion
There may be a tendency for corrosion to
form on the discs and dirt to build up on the
brake pads if the vehicle is used infrequently
or the brakes are not used very often.
If the brakes are not used frequently, or if rust
has formed on the disks, it is advisable to
clean off the pads and disks by braking firmly
a few times at a moderately high speed ››› .
F ault in the br

ake system
If the brake pedal travel should ever increase
suddenly, this may mean that one of the two
brake circuits has failed. Drive immediately to
the nearest specialised workshop and have
the fault repaired. Drive there slowly and re-
member that you will have to apply more pressure on the brake pedal and allow for
longer st

opping distances.
Low brake fluid level
Malfunctions can occur in the brake system if
the brake fluid level is too low. The brake fluid
level is monitored electronically.
Brake servo
The brake servo increases the pressure you
apply to the brake pedal. It works only when
the engine is running. WARNING
Any anomaly in the brake system can in-
cr ease the br

aking distance, with the re-
sulting risk of an accident.
