180 Driving and operating
■ collision imminent braking is
applying the brakes,
■ radar sensor is blocked by an ice or
water film,
■ fault is detected in the radar, engine
or brake system.
Additionally the system is
automatically deactivated on vehicles
with automatic transmission (full
speed range adaptive cruise control)
when:
■ Electric parking brake is applied,
■ vehicle is being held to a stop by the
system for more than two minutes,
■ vehicle stops, the driver safety belt
is released and the driver's door is
opened.
When adaptive cruise control is
deactivated automatically, the control
indicator
m
or
C
illuminates white
and a warning message is displayed
as a pop-up in the Driver Information
Centre.
The stored speed is maintained.
9 Warning
When adaptive cruise control is
deactivated, the driver must take
over full brake and engine control.
Switching off
Press button
C
to switch off adaptive
cruise control. The control indicator
m
or
C
extinguishes. The stored
speed is deleted.
Switching off the ignition also
switches off adaptive cruise control
and deletes the stored speed.
Driver's attention
■ Use adaptive cruise control
carefully on bends or mountain
roads, as it can lose the vehicle
ahead and need time to detect it
again.
■ Do not use the system on slippery
roads as it can create rapid
changes in tyre traction (wheel
spinning), so that you could lose
control of the vehicle.
■ Do not use adaptive cruise control
during rain, snow or heavy dirt, as
the radar sensor can be covered by
a water film, dust, ice or snow. This
reduces or suppresses completely
the visibility. In case of sensor
blockage, clean the sensor cover.
System limits
■ The system's automatic brake force
does not permit hard braking and
the braking level may not be
sufficient to avoid a collision.
■ After a sudden lane change, the
system needs a certain time to
detect the next preceding vehicle.
So if a new vehicle is detected, the
system may accelerate instead of
braking.
■ Adaptive cruise control does ignore
the oncoming traffic.
