Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
Special driving situations
Limits of ACC
Switching ACC on and off
Setting ACC
Troubleshooting
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) maintains a speed selected by the driver. If the vehicle
approaches a vehicle in front, the ACC automatically adapts the speed so that a distance you have
selected is maintained.
Speed range
ACC controls the vehicle in the speed range between 30 km/h (20 mph) and 160 km/h (100 mph)
or 210 km/h (130 mph). This speed range may differ in certain markets.
Driving with ACC
You can override the ACC at any time. Control will be interrupted when you brake. If you accelerate,
control will be interrupted for the duration of the acceleration process and will then continue again.
Control by ACC is less dynamic when towing a trailer
if the trailer's brake lights are faulty.
Does the vehicle have ACC?
The vehicle is equipped with ACC if you can make settings for ACC in the vehicle settings of the
Infotainment system Vehicle settings menu
