184Driving and operatingDetecting the vehicle ahead
If the system does not detect a vehicle in the driving path, U is displayed
in the Driver Information Centre. The
system operates as conventional
cruise control.
If the system detects a vehicle in the
driving path, V is displayed in the
Driver Information Centre. The
system operates as conventional
cruise control.
If the system detects a vehicle in the
driving path which is too close or too
slow, it adjusts the speed accordingly. X is displayed in the Driver
Information Centre.
If the system reaches the limit of
adjusting the speed and the driver
does not react to this situation, the
system is automatically deactivated
and W is displayed in the Driver
Information Centre.
If the set speed is temporarily
exceeded by the driver, the system is automatically deactivated and Z is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre.Deactivation of the functionality
Press button to deactivate the
functionality. The cruise control is in
pause mode and a message is
displayed. The vehicle is driven
without cruise control.
Cruise control is deactivated, but not
switched off. Last stored speed
remains in memory for later speed
resume.
Cruise control is deactivated
automatically:
● maximum deviation of 30 km/h between set speed and speed of
the vehicle ahead reached
● distance between vehicle and vehicle ahead too small
● vehicle speed below 40 km/h
● speed of the vehicle ahead too slow
● Traction Control system or Electronic Stability Control
operating
● selected following distance reached
● another vehicle inserts between vehicle and vehicle ahead
● following distance cannot be maintained, e.g., in the case of a
steep descent

Driving and operating185Switching off the system
Turn to 0 to switch off the system. The
symbol 5 and a message are
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre.
Switching off the ignition deletes the
stored set speed.
Driver's attention ● Use the adaptive cruise control carefully on bends or mountain
roads, as it can lose the vehicle
ahead and needs time to detect it again.
● Do not use the system on slippery roads as it can create
rapid changes in tyre traction
(wheel spinning), so that the
control of the vehicle can be lost.
● Do not use the system when the spare wheel is in use.
System limits9 Warning
The system's automatic brake
force does not permit hard braking and the braking level may not be
sufficient to avoid a collision.
● The control range is limited to a maximum deviation of 30 km/h
between the set speed and the
speed of the vehicle ahead.
● After a sudden lane change, the system needs a certain time to
detect the next preceding
vehicle. So if a new vehicle is
detected, the system may
accelerate instead of braking.
● The adaptive cruise control does ignore the oncoming traffic.
● The adaptive cruise control does not consider pedestrians and
animals for braking and driving
off.
● The adaptive cruise control considers stopped vehicles onlyat low speed.
● Do not use the adaptive cruise control when towing a trailer.
● Do not use the adaptive cruise control on roads with an incline ofmore than 10%.
Bends
The adaptive cruise control calculates
a predicted path based on the
centrifugal force. This predicted path
considers the current bend
characteristic, but cannot consider a
future bend change. The system may lose the current vehicle ahead or
consider a vehicle which is not in the
