Adaptive cruise control
Adaptive cruise control is an
enhancement to traditional cruise control with the additional feature of
maintaining a certain distance behind the vehicle ahead.
Adaptive cruise control automatically
decelerates the vehicle when
approaching a slower moving vehicle. It then adjusts the vehicle speed to
follow the vehicle ahead at the
selected following distance. The
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.
30 mph and brakes automatically to
follow a slower vehicle driving ahead
down to a minimum speed of
18 mph. 
Page 184 of 305

182Driving and operating
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 after
switching on ignition. Activation in first gear is not possible.
Adaptive cruise control is mainly
advised to be used on long straight
roads,  e.g. 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  116,  m 3  116.
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, the
accelerator pedal and the cancel
switch have priority over any
adaptive cruise control operation.
Switching on
Press  C to switch on adaptive cruise
control. The control indicator  m
illuminates white.
Activation by setting the speed
Adaptive cruise control can be
activated between 30 mph and
112 mph.
Accelerate to the desired speed and
turn thumb wheel to  SET/-; the
current speed is stored and
maintained. Control indicator  m
illuminates green.
The adaptive cruise control symbol,
the following distance setting and set
speed are indicated in the top line ofthe Driver Information Centre.
The accelerator pedal can be
released. Adaptive cruise control
remains activated while gearshifting.
