Driving and operating181speed. If the driver operates the turn
lights to overtake a slower vehicle, the
adaptive cruise control allows the
vehicle to temporarily approach the
vehicle ahead to help passing it.
However, the set speed will never be
exceeded.
If the vehicle ahead is moving too
slowly and the selected following
distance cannot be maintained
anymore, a warning chime is given
and a message is displayed in the
Driver Information Centre. The
message prompts the driver to take
back control of the vehicle.
The adaptive cruise control can store set speeds between 40 km/h and
150 km/h. Additionally at least the
third gear must be engaged on
manual transmission, on automatic
transmission position D / A or the
second or a higher gear in position
M must be selected.9 Warning
The complete driver attention is
always required while driving with adaptive cruise control. The driver
stays fully in control of the vehicle
because the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal have priority
over any adaptive cruise control operation.
Switching on the system

switched on at a speed between
40 km/h and 150 km/h.
A precondition is that adaptive cruise
control is not deactivated in the

ahead, in your path.If a vehicle directly ahead is
approached too quickly, a warning
chime and alert in the Driver
Information Centre is provided.9 Warning

warning system and does not
apply the brakes. When
approaching a vehicle ahead too
rapidly, there may not be enough
time to avoid a collision.
The driver accepts full
responsibility for the appropriate
following distance based on traffic, weather and visibility conditions.
The complete attention of the
driver is always required while
driving. The driver must always be
ready to take action and apply the
brakes.
Activation

vehicles and operates automatically
at all speeds between 5 km/h and
85 km/h. The system detects
stationary vehicles if the speed does
not exceed 80 km/h.
