DRIVER SUPPORT
204
With an automatic gearbox, the adaptive cruise
control can follow another vehicle within the
range 0-200 km/h (0-125 mph).
NOTE
A vehicle in front must be within a reasonable
distance in order to enable activation of the
adaptive cruise control at a speed lower than
30 km/h (20 mph).
For shorter stops in connection with inching in
slow traffic or at traffic lights driving is automati-
cally 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 auto-
matic braking. The driver must then reactivate it
in one of the following 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
(20 mph) and the target is changed from a mov-
ing vehicle to a stationary vehicle, the adaptive
cruise control will brake for the stationary vehicle.
WARNING
When the adaptive cruise control is following
a vehicle in front at speeds in excess of
30 km/h (20 mph) and the target is changed
from a vehicle in front 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 (5 mph)
and the adaptive cruise control is uncertain
whether the target object is a stationary vehi-
cle or some other object, e.g. a speed bump.
•
when the speed is below 5 km/h (5 mph)
and the vehicle in front turns off so the adap-
tive 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 intervene and
