194 Driving and operating
● There is no traffic and nothing
detected on the road sides for
several minutes. In this case,
there are no radar echoes and
the sensor may report that it is
blocked.
● The collision imminent braking
system is applying the brakes.
● The radar sensor is blocked by
an ice or water film.
● A fault is detected in the radar,
engine or brake system.
When adaptive cruise control is
deactivated automatically, the control
indicator
m
illuminates white and a
warning symbol is displayed as a pop-
up in the Driver Information Centre.
The stored speed is maintained.
9 Warning
When adaptive cruise control is
deactivated, the driver must take
over full brake and engine control.
Switching off
Press
C
to switch off adaptive cruise
control. The control indicator
m
extinguishes. The stored speed is
deleted.
Switching off the ignition also
switches off adaptive cruise control
and deletes the stored speed.
Driver's attention
● Use adaptive cruise control
carefully on bends or mountain
roads, as it can lose the vehicle
ahead and need time to detect it
again.
● Do not use the system on
slippery roads as it can create
rapid changes in tyre traction
(wheel spinning), so that you
could lose control.
● Do not use adaptive cruise
control during rain, snow or
heavy dirt, as the radar sensor
can be covered by a water film,
dust, ice or snow. This reduces or
suppresses completely the
visibility. In case of sensor
blockage, clean the sensor
cover.
System limits
● The system's automatic brake
force does not permit hard
braking and the braking level
may not be sufficient to avoid a
collision.
