WARNING
•
With the adaptive cruise control is in
standby mode, the driver must inter-
vene and regulate both speed and dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead.
•
When the adaptive cruise control is in
standby mode and the car comes too
close to a vehicle ahead, the driver may
be warned of the short distance by the
Distance Warning* function instead.
Automatic standby mode
Adaptive cruise control is dependent on other
systems, e.g. stability control/anti-skid ESC
44
.
If any of these other systems stops working,
adaptive cruise control is deactivated auto-
matically.
WARNING
With automatic standby mode, the driver is
warned via an acoustic signal and a mes-
sage on the driver display.
•
The driver must then regulate the car's
speed, apply the brakes as needed and
maintain a safe distance to other vehi-
cles.
Automatic standby mode may occur if:
•
the speed is below 5 km/h ((3 mph)) and
ACC is uncertain whether the vehicle
ahead is a stationary vehicle or an object,
such as a speed bump.
•
the speed is below 5 km/h ((3 mph)) and
the vehicle ahead turns off so that ACC no
longer has a vehicle to follow.
•
speed is reduced to below 30 km/h
(20 mph) - only applies to cars with man-
ual gearbox.
•
the driver opens the door.
•
the driver takes off the seatbelt.
•
engine speed is too low/high.
•
one or more wheels lose traction.
•
brake temperature is high.
•
the parking brake is applied.
•
the camera and radar unit is covered by
e.g. snow or heavy rainfall (camera lens/
