Standby mode for
adaptive cruise
control
78
The adaptive cruise control (ACC
79
) can be
deactivated and set in standby mode. This can
take place automatically or due to intervention
by the driver.
Standby mode means that the function is
selected in the centre display but not activated.
The symbol in the driver display is extinguished
and the adaptive cruise control does not then
regulate the speed or distance to vehicles
ahead.
Standby mode on driver intervention
Adaptive cruise control is deactivated and set to
standby mode if any of the following occur:
• The foot brake is used.
• The gear selector is moved to the N position.
• The driver maintains a speed higher than the
stored speed for more than 1 minute.
A temporary increase in speed with the acceler-
ator pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not
affect the setting - the car returns to the last
stored speed when the accelerator pedal is
released.
Automatic standby mode
Automatic standby mode may be enabled if any
of the following occur:
• Any of the systems on which adaptive cruise
control is dependent stops working, e.g. sta-
bility control/anti-skid (ESC
80
).
• The driver opens the door.
• The driver takes off the seatbelt.
• The engine speed is too low/high.
• One or more wheels lose traction.
• The brake temperature is high.
• The parking brake is applied.
• The camera and/or radar units are covered by
e.g. snow or heavy rainfall (camera lens/radio
waves are blocked).
• The speed is below 5 km/h (3 mph) and ACC
is uncertain whether the vehicle ahead is a
stationary vehicle or an object, such as a
speed bump.
• The speed is below 5 km/h (3 mph) and the
vehicle ahead turns off so that ACC no longer
has a vehicle to follow.

WARNING
• • With the adaptive cruise control is in
standby mode, the driver must inter-
vene and regulate both speed and
distance to the vehicle ahead.
• When the adaptive cruise control is
in standby mode and the car comes
too close to a vehicle ahead, the
driver may be warned of the short
distance by the Distance Warning
function instead.
78 This function can be either standard or optional,
depending on market.
