Adaptive cruise control* - temporary
deactivation, and standby mode
The adaptive cruise control can be temporarily
deactivated and set in standby mode.
Temporary deactivation/standby mode
- with speed limiter
To temporarily disengage the adaptive cruise
control and set it in standby mode:
•
Press the steering wheel button
This symbol and the stored speed's
marking then change colour from
GREEN to WHITE.
Temporary deactivation/standby mode
- without speed limiter
To temporarily disengage the adaptive cruise
control and set it in standby mode:
•
Press the steering wheel button
Standby mode due to driver
intervention
The adaptive cruise control is temporarily disen-
gaged and set automatically in standby mode if:
•
the foot brake is used
•
the clutch pedal is depressed for longer than
1 minute
10
•
the gear selector is moved to N position
(automatic gearbox)
•
the driver maintains speed higher than the
stored speed for longer than 1 minute.
The driver must then regulate the speed.
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. 182).
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
11
(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.
