[I) Tips
• If the adaptive cruise control initiates brak ing, the hydraulic brake
system is under pressure. Therefore, the brake pedal distance is
shorter and the peda l "feels" harder.
• Adaptive cruise control is switched off after pressing the foot­
brake. The speed saved up this poi nt can be resumed.
• To resume the saved speed, release the brake pedal and press the
control lever:::::,
page 120, "Turning adaptive cruise control off
temporari ly".
• If you use the accelerator to go faster than the speed of the object
ahead of you, the
driver intervention prompt will not be accompa­
nied by a warn ing s ignal.
• If the speed you prev iously set is exceeded, the indicator light in
the speedometer will switch off .•

Applies to vehicles : with adaptive cruise cont rol
General information
Some driving situations which affect the function of the
radar sensor are described below.
When driving, the adaptive cru ise contro l is governed by physical and
system-specified limits. Also, under certain circumstances, the ACC
system may react unexpectedly or late from the driver's point of view.
Therefore, a lways be attentive and intervene, if necessary:
• when driving around curves:::::,
page 128
• when vehicles in front are not in line with your vehicle:::::, page 128
• whe n other ve hicles are changing lanes:::::, page 128
• when other vehicles are difficult to detect:::::, page 129.
& WARNING
The radar sensor's vision can be reduced by rain, snow and heavy
spray . This can result in vehicles driving ahead being inadequately
detected or, in some circumstances , not detected at all. If neces­
sary, take action yourself!•
