A temporary increase in speed with the accelera-
tor 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
The adaptive cruise control is dependent on
other systems, e.g. Stability system ESC (p. 190).
If any of these systems stops working, the adap-
tive cruise control is deactivated automatically.
In the event of automatic deactivation a signal will
sound and the message
Adaptive cruise
control cancelled is shown in the combined
instrument panel. The driver must then intervene
and adapt the speed and distance to the vehicle
ahead.
An automatic deactivation can be due to:
•
the driver opens the door
•
the driver takes off his seatbelt
•
engine speed is too low/high
•
speed has fallen below 30 km/h
8
(20 mph)
•
wheels lose traction
•
brake temperature is high
•
the radar sensor is covered e.g. by wet snow
or heavy rain (radar waves blocked).
Resume set speed
Adaptive cruise control in standby mode is reacti-
vated with one press on the steering wheel but-
ton
- the speed is then set to the last stored
speed.
NOTE
A pronounced increase in speed may occur
after the cruise control has been reactivated
with the
button.

- overtaking
another vehicle
When the car is following another vehicle and the
driver indicates an impending overtaking
manoeuvre with the direction indicator
9
, the
adaptive cruise control helps to briefly accelerate
the car towards the vehicle in front.
The function is active at speeds above 70 km/h
(43 mph).
WARNING
Be aware that this function can be activated
in more situations other than during overtak-
ing, e.g. when a direction indicator is used to
indicate a change of lane or exit to another
road - the car will then accelerate briefly.
