Extended speed range
NOTE
In order to activate the adaptive cruise
control, the driver's door must be closed
and the driver must be wearing the seat-
belt.
With an automatic gearbox, the adaptive
cruise control can follow another vehicle
within the range 0-200 km/h.
NOTE
A vehicle in front must be within a reason-
able distance in order to enable activation
of the adaptive cruise control at a speed
lower than 30 km/h.
For shorter stops in connection with inching
in slow traffic or at traffic lights driving is
automatically resumed if the stops do not
exceed about 3 seconds - if it takes longer
before the car in front starts moving again
then the Adaptive cruise control is set in
standby mode with automatic braking. The
driver must then reactivate it in one of the fol-
lowing ways:
•
Press the steering wheel button .
or
•
Depress the accelerator pedal.
> The adaptive cruise control will then
resume following the vehicle in front.
NOTE
The Queue Assist function can hold the car
stationary for a maximum of 4 minutes -
then the parking brake is applied and the
adaptive cruise control is disengaged.
•
The parking brake must be released
before the adaptive cruise control can
be reactivated.
Change of target
If the target vehicle in front suddenly turns then
there may be stationary traffic in front.
When the adaptive cruise control is following
another vehicle at speeds
below
30 km/h and
changes target from a moving to a stationary
vehicle, the adaptive cruise control will slow
down for the stationary vehicle.
WARNING
When the adaptive cruise control is follow-
ing another vehicle at speeds
in excess of
30 km/h and the target is changed from a
moving vehicle to a stationary vehicle, the
adaptive cruise control will ignore the sta-
tionary vehicle and instead select the
stored speed.
•
The driver must intervene him/herself
and brake.
Automatic standby mode with change
of target
The adaptive cruise control is disengaged
and set in standby mode:
•
when the speed is below 5 km/h and the
adaptive cruise control is uncertain
whether the target object is a stationary
vehicle or some other object, e.g. a speed
bump.
•
when the speed is below 5 km/h and the
vehicle in front turns off so the adaptive
cruise control no longer has a vehicle to
follow.
Termination of automatic braking at a
standstill
In certain situations, queue assistance stops
automatic braking at a standstill. This means
that the brakes are released and the car may
start to roll - the driver must therefore inter-
vene and brake the car himself/herself in
order to maintain its position.
