Active Cruise Control with
Stop&Go function ACC
Principle
Using the Cruise Control, a desired speed and a
distance to a vehicle ahead can be adjusted us‐
ing the buttons on the steering wheel.
General information
The system maintains the set speed on clear
roads. The vehicle accelerates or brakes auto‐
matically.
If a vehicle is driving ahead of you, the system
adjusts the speed of your vehicle so that the set
distance to the vehicle ahead is maintained. The
speed is adjusted as far as the given situation al‐
lows.
The distance can be adjusted in several steps.
For safety reasons, it depends on the respective
speed.
If the vehicle ahead of you brakes to a halt, and
then proceeds to drive again within a brief period,
the system is able to detect this within the given
system limits.
Depending on the settings, the cruise control
settings may change under certain conditions.
Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute for the
driver’s personal judgment in assessing the
traffic situation. Based on the limits of the sys‐
tem, it cannot independently react to all traffic
situations. There is a risk of accident. Adjust
driving style to traffic conditions. Watch traffic
