Adaptive cruise control*
04
174* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
NOTE
If any cruise control button is held
depressed for more than approx. 1 minute
then cruise control is disengaged. The
engine must be switched off in order to reset
cruise control.
In certain situations, cruise control cannot
be activated. Then the display shows
Cruise control Unavailable, see
page 179.
Set time intervalDifferent time intervals to the
vehicle in front can be
selected and shown in the
display as 1-5 horizontal lines
- the more lines the longer the
time distance. One line corre-
sponds to approximately
1 second, 5 lines approximately 2.5 seconds.
The time interval is increased or decreased
with the steering wheel keypad's thumbwheel
(or the buttons
/ for cars without Speed
limiter).
At low speed, when the distances are short, the
adaptive cruise control increases the time
interval slightly.The adaptive cruise control allows the time
interval to vary noticeably in certain situations
in order to allow the car to follow the vehicle in
front smoothly and comfortably.
Note that a short time interval only allows the
driver a short time to react and take action if
any unforeseen traffic problem should arise.
The number of lines for the
selected time interval is
shown during the setting itself
and for several seconds after-
wards. Then a smaller scale
version of the symbol is
shown to the right of the dis-
play. The same symbol is also shown when
Distance Alert is activated, see page 181.
NOTE
Only use the time interval that is allowed in
accordance with local traffic regulations.
If cruise control does not seem to react to
activation the reason may be that the time
interval to the closest vehicle prevents an
increase in speed.
The higher the speed, the longer the calcu-
lated distance in metres for a specific time
interval.
Temporary deactivation - standby mode
Press the steering wheel button to tempo-
rarily disengage the cruise control and set it in
standby mode - set speed is shown in brackets
in the display, e.g.
(100).
Keypad without Speed limiter
Press the steering wheel button to tempo-
rarily disengage cruise control and set it in
standby mode.
Standby mode due to driver interventionCruise control is temporarily disengaged and
set in standby mode if:
•the foot brake is used
•the clutch pedal is depressed for longer
than 1 minute4
•the gear selector is moved to N position
(automatic gearbox)
•the driver maintains a speed higher than
the set speed for longer than 1 minute
The driver must then regulate the speed.
A temporary increase in speed with the accel-
erator pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not
affect the cruise control setting - the car returns
to the last stored speed when the accelerator
pedal is released.
4Disengaging and selecting a higher or lower gear does not involve standby mode.

driver about the time interval to vehicles in
front.
Distance alert is active at speeds above
30 km/h and only reacts to vehicles driving in
front of the car, in the same direction. No dis-
tance information is provided for oncoming,
slow or stationary vehicles.
Yellow warning light.
A yellow warning lamp in the windscreen illu-
minates with a constant glow if the distance to
the vehicle in front is shorter than the set time
interval.
NOTE
Distance Alert is deactivated during the time
that Adaptive Cruise Control is active.
WARNING
Distance Alert only reacts if the distance to
the vehicle ahead is shorter than the preset

RDS functionsRDS (Radio Data System) links FM transmitters
into a network. An FM transmitter in such a
network sends information that gives an RDS
radio the following functions:
•Automatically switches to a stronger trans-
mitter if reception in the area is poor.
•Searches for programme type, such as
traffic information or news.
•Receives text information on current radio
programme.
NOTE
Some radio stations do not use RDS or only
some if its functionality.
If a required programme type is located the
radio can switch stations interrupting the audio
source currently in use. For example, if the CD
player is in use, it is paused. The interrupting
transmission is played at a preset volume, see
page 229. The radio returns to the previous
audio source and volume when the set pro-
gramme type is no longer broadcast.
The programme functions alarm (
ALARM!),
traffic information (TP), news (NEWS), and pro-
gramme types (PTY) interrupt one another in
order of priority, where alarm has the highest
priority and programme types has the lowest.
For additional settings of programming inter-
ruptions (
EON Distant and EON Local), see
the section "Enhanced Other Networks –
EON" below. Press EXIT to return to the inter-rupted audio source, press the OK/MENU to
clear the message.
AlarmThis function is used to warn of serious acci-
dents and catastrophes. The alarm cannot be
temporarily interrupted or deactivated. The
message
ALARM! appears on the TV screen
when an alarm message is transmitted.
Traffic information – TPThis function allows traffic information sent
within a set station's RDS network to break
through. The
TP symbol indicates that the
function is activated. If the preset station can
send traffic information then this is shown by
TP glowing brightly in the TV screen, otherwiseTP will be grey.

TP.
Enhanced Other Networks – EONThis function is useful in urban areas with many
regional radio stations. It allows the distance
between the car and the radio station trans-
mitter to determine when programme functions
should interrupt the current audio source.
