Standby mode for cruise control
Cruise control (CC
51
) can be deactivated and
set in standby mode. This can take place due
to driver intervention or automatically.
Standby mode means that the function is
selected in the driver display but not activated.
In this case, cruise control does not regulate
speed.
Standby mode on driver intervention
Cruise control is deactivated and set to
standby mode if any of the following occur:
•
The foot brake is used.
•
The gear selector is moved to N position.
•
The clutch pedal is held depressed for
longer than 1 minute.
•
The driver maintains a speed higher than
the stored speed for longer than 1 minute.
The driver must then control the speed him-
self/herself.
A temporary increase in speed with the accel-
erator 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
Activation of automatic standby mode can be
due to one of the following:
•
The wheels are losing traction.
•
The engine speed is too low/high.
•
Brake temperature is too high.
•
Speed falls below 30 km/h (20 mph).
The driver must then control the speed him-
self/herself.

Adaptive cruise control*
52
The adaptive cruise control (ACC
53
) can help
the driver to maintain a constant speed, com-
bined with a preset time interval to the vehi-
cle ahead.
The camera and radar unit measures the distance to
the vehicle ahead.
An adaptive cruise control can provide a more
relaxing driving experience on long journeys on
motorways and long straight main roads in
smooth traffic flows.
The driver selects the desired speed and a
time interval to the vehicle ahead. If the cam-
era and radar unit detects a slower vehicle in
front of the car, the speed is adapted automat-
ically via the preset time interval to the vehicle.
