174 Driving and operating
vehicle speed increases or decreases
to follow the vehicle in front, but will
not exceed the set speed. It may
apply limited braking with activated
brake lights.
The adaptive cruise control can store
and maintain speeds over approx.
25 km/h and brakes automatically to
follow a slower vehicle driving ahead
to a minimum speed of 15 km/h. On
vehicles with automatic transmission
the system brakes to a stop.
Adaptive cruise control uses a radar
sensor to detect the vehicles ahead.
If no vehicle is detected in the driving
path, the adaptive cruise control will
behave like a traditional cruise
control.
For safety reasons, the system
cannot be activated before the brake
pedal has been depressed once
since switching on ignition. Activation
in first gear is not possible.
Adaptive cruise control is mainly
advised to be used on long straight
roads like highways or country roads
with steady traffic. Do not use the
system if it is not advisable to
maintain a constant speed.
Control indicator A 3 106, m 3 106,
C 3 106.
9 Warning

accelerator pedal and the cancel
switch have priority over any
adaptive cruise control operation.

cruise control. The control indicator
