*
Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
When this symbol has changed col-
ors from
white
to
green
, ACC is in
active mode and the vehicle will
maintain the set speed.
This symbol indicates that
you are approaching a vehi-
cle ahead.
ACC will switch from main-
taining a
set speed
to main-
taining a set
distance
from
that vehicle.
When this happens, a speed
range
will be indicated on
the speedometer:
The
higher speed (the cur-
rently set speed (5)) will be
marked in
green
.
The lower speed in the range is the speed of
the vehicle ahead.
Changing the set speed
•
After a speed has been set, it can be
increased or decreased by briefly press-
ing the
or buttons. Each time one
of these buttons is pressed, the vehicle's
speed changes by 3 mph
(approximately 5 km/h). If the speed is
increased by pressing the accelerator
pedal, the vehicle's speed when the but-
ton is pressed will be set.
•
Press and hold one of the buttons to
increase/decrease the speed by 1 mph
(approximately 1 km/h) at a time. Release
the button when you have reached the
desired speed.
NOTE
•
If one of the Adaptive Cruise Control
buttons is pressed for more than
approximately one minute, ACC will be
deactivated. The engine must then be
switched off and restarted to reset
ACC.
•
In some situations Adaptive Cruise
Control cannot be put in active mode.
Cruise control Unavailable
is shown
in the display, see page 164.
Setting a time interval
The set time interval to vehicles ahead can be
increased by pressing
and decreased by
pressing . The current time interval is
shown briefly in the display following adjust-
ment.
Different time intervals can
be selected and are shown in
the instrument panel
2
as 1–5
horizontal bars. The greater
the number of bars, the
longer the time interval. One
bar represents a time interval
of approximately 1 second; 5 bars is approxi-
mately 3 seconds.
To set/change a time interval:
•
Press the / buttons (3).
At low speeds, when the distance to the vehi-
cle ahead is short, ACC increases the time
interval slightly. In order to follow the vehicle
ahead as smoothly as possible, ACC allows
the time interval to vary considerably in cer-
tain situations.
WARNING
•
Only use a time interval that is suitable
in current traffic conditions.
•
A short time interval gives the driver
limited reaction time if an unexpected
situation occurs in traffic.
