Stationary phase (only vehicles with
autornatic gearbox)
If the adap tive cruise control has decele ra t d the
vehicle to a standstill, the adapt.ive cruise contr o l
will not be switched off automatically wh en the
brake pedal is depressed .
The electronic parking brake will be activated auto4
matically and the adap tive cruise control will be
switched off if one of the following situations occurs
while the vehicle is stationary:
• The safety be lt is unfastened .

Driving off after a stationary phase (only
vehicles with automatic gearbox)
After a stationary phase, the adaptive cruise con­
trol can start the vehicle moving automatically as
soon as the vehicle in front begins to move again.
Overtaking
If the turn signal is activated when starting an over­
taking manoeuvre , the adaptive cruise control ac­
celerates the vehicle automatically and thus re­
duces the distance to the vehicle in front.
If you move your vehicle into the overtaking lane
and there is no vehicle ahead of you , the ACC will
automatically increase the speed to your set level
and maintain it.
Acceleration can be stopped at any point

Pressing the brake pedal or pressing the @ button
on the multifunction steering wheel ~page 229.
