Extending or reactivating the period in
which the vehicle is ready to pull away:

button.
Or: Vehicles with Adaptive Cruise Con-
trol with Lane Centring: take hold of the
steering wheel again.
Pulling away when the ACC is no longer
ready and the vehicle in front is already
a long way ahead:

button or briefly depress
the accelerator.
Adaptive Cruise Control is not active in the
following cases:
— The vehicle is stationary for several mi-
nutes.
— A vehicle door is opened.
— The ignition is switched
off.
WARNING
If the message Adaptive Cruise Control
ready to start is shown on the instrument
cluster display and the vehicle in front
moves
off, your vehicle will move off au-
tomatically. In some cases, obstacles in
the vehicle’s path may not be detected.
This can result in serious injury and acci-
dents.
·
Always check the road every time the
vehicle starts to pull away and brake
the vehicle if necessary.
Inside Overtaking Prevention System
Fig. 109 In the instrument cluster display:
slower vehicle detected in the left-hand lane
(illustration).
If Adaptive Cruise Control detects a slower
vehicle in the
left-hand lane (left-hand
traffic: in the right-hand lane), Adaptive
Cruise Control will brake the vehicle gently
within the system limits and can therefore
prevent a prohibited overtaking manoeu-
vre. The function is active from speeds of
around 80 km/h (around 50 mph).
Limits of Adaptive Cruise Control
Please refer to at the start of the
chapter on page 161.

Vehicles without Inside Overtaking Pre-
vention System:
On roads with more than
one lane, if other vehicles are driving
more slowly in the overtaking lane.
— If components in the area of the radar
sensor are exposed to external force, e.g.
after a rear-end collision.
WARNING
Using Adaptive Cruise Control in the sit-
uations listed above may lead to acci-
dents, severe injuries and violations of the
relevant legal requirements.
Delayed response
If the radar sensor is exposed to environ-
mental conditions that impair sensor func-
tioning, the system may detect this only af-
ter a certain delay. For this reason, any re-
strictions to functions may be displayed
only
after a delay at the start of the trip and
when driving
