The adaptive cruise control allows the time
interval to vary significantly in certain situa-
tions in order to allow the car to follow the
vehicle in front smoothly and comfortably. At
low speed, when the distances are short, the
adaptive cruise control increases the time
interval slightly.
NOTE
•
The higher the speed the longer the
calculated distance in metres for a
given time interval.
•
Only use the time intervals permitted
by local traffic regulations.
•
If the driver supports do not seem to
respond with a speed increase when
activated, it may be because the time
window to the vehicle ahead is shorter
than the set time window.
WARNING
•
Only use a time window that suits the
current traffic conditions.
•
The driver should be aware that short
time windows limit the amount of time
available to react and take action in an
unexpected traffic situation.

trol* and Pilot Assist* have a special brake
function in slow traffic and while stationary.
Brake function in slow queues and
while stationary
For shorter stops in connection with inching in
slow traffic or at traffic lights, driving is auto-
matically resumed if the stops do not exceed
approx. 3 seconds - if it takes longer before
the vehicle in front starts moving again then
the driver support function is set in standby
mode with automatic braking.

The function is reactivated in one of the
following ways:
•
Press the steering wheel button
.
•
Depress the accelerator pedal.
> The function resumes following the
vehicle ahead if it starts moving for-
ward within approx. 6 seconds.

A significant increase in speed may follow
when the speed is resumed with the
steering wheel button.
