140* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Introduction
Examples of readable road signs Road Sign Information (RSI) is a feature that helps the driver see road signs with the pos-ted speed limit. If the vehicle passes a sign showing the speed limit, this will be displayed in the centerconsole.
WARNING
RSI does not function in all situations and is only intended to provide supplementaryinformation. The driver is always responsible for oper- ating the vehicle safely.
Operation
Speed limit information
When RSI registers a road sign showing the speed limit, this sign is displayed as a symbolon the instrument panel.
Settings in MY CAR
Possible settings in MY CAR Displaying the speed limit indication can be deactivated. To do so:
• Deselect the alternative in

SettingsCar settingsSpeed alertor cancel by pressing EXIT.
Limitations
RSI's camera has the same limitations as the human eye. See page 168 for more informa-tion about the camera's limitations. Signs that indirectly indicate the speed limit (such as a sign with a town's name and thepermitted speed limit) will not be registeredby RSI. Other factors that may interfere with RSI include:
• Faded signs
• Signs located in a curve

146* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
WARNING
Adaptive Cruise Control only warns of vehicles detected by the radar sensor, seepage 151. In some cases there may be nowarning or the warning may be delayed.The driver should always apply the brakeswhen necessary.
Steep inclines and/or heavy loadsACC is primarily intended for use on fairly level roads. The system may have difficultymaintaining the correct distance to a vehicleahead on steep inclines, if the vehicle is car-rying a heavy load or is towing a trailer. Inthese situations, the driver should always beprepared to apply the brakes if necessary.

When this symbol has changed col- ors from
white to green , ACC is in
active mode and the vehicle will
maintain the set speed.
This symbol indicates that you are approaching a vehi-cle ahead. ACC will switch from main- taining a set speed to main-
taining a set distance from
that vehicle.
When this happens, a speed range will be indicated on
the speedometer: The higher speed (the cur-
rently set speed (5)) will be marked in green.
The lower speed in the range is the speed of
the vehicle ahead.
Changing the set speed
• After a speed has been set, it can be increased or decreased by briefly press- ing the
or buttons. Each time one
of these buttons is pressed, the vehicle's speed changes by 3 mph(approximately 5 km/h). If the speed isincreased by pressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle's speed when the but-ton is pressed will be set.
• Press and hold one of the buttons toincrease/decrease the speed by 1 mph(approximately 1 km/h) at a time. Releasethe button when you have reached thedesired speed.
NOTE
•If one of the Adaptive Cruise Control buttons is pressed for more thanapproximately one minute, ACC will bedeactivated. The engine must then beswitched off and restarted to resetACC.
• In some situations Adaptive CruiseControl cannot be put in active mode.
Cruise control Unavailable is shown
in the display, see page 153.
Setting a time intervalThe set time interval to vehicles ahead can be increased by pressing
and decreased by
pressing
. The current time interval is
shown briefly in the display following adjust- ment. Different time intervals canbe selected and are shown in the instrument panel
3
as 1–5
horizontal bars. The greater the number of bars, thelonger the time interval. Onebar represents a time interval
of approximately 1 second; 5 bars is approxi-mately 3 seconds.
To set/change a time interval:
• Press the
/ buttons (3).
At low speeds, when the distance to the vehi- cle ahead is short, ACC increases the timeinterval slightly. In order to follow the vehicleahead as smoothly as possible, ACC allowsthe time interval to vary considerably in cer-tain situations.
WARNING
• Only use a time interval that is suitable in current traffic conditions.
• A short time interval gives the driverlimited reaction time if an unexpectedsituation occurs in traffic.

considerably lower than the set speed.
Standby mode due to action by the driver
ACC is temporarily deactivated and put in standby mode:
• if the brakes are applied
• if the gear selector is moved to
N
• if the driver drives faster than the set speed for more than
1 minute.
In this happens, the driver will have to regu- late the vehicle's speed.
NOTE
If the accelerator pedal is only depressed for a short time, such as when passinganother vehicle, ACC is deactivated tem-porarily and is reactivated when the pedalis released.
Automatic standby modeACC is linked to other systems such as the stability and traction control system (DSTC). Ifthis system is not functioning properly, ACCwill switch off automatically. In the event of automatic deactivation, an audible signal will sound and the message
Cruise control Cancelled is shown in the
instrument panel. The driver must then inter- vene and adapt the vehicle's speed to thesurrounding traffic and regulate the distanceto the vehicle ahead. An automatic switch to standby mode may be caused if:
• engine speed (rpm) is too high/low
• The driver's door is opened
• The driver unbuckles his/her seat belt
• the vehicle's speed goes below 18 mph (30 km/h) 4
• the wheels lose traction •
brake temperature is high
• the radar sensor is obstructed by, for example, wet snow or rain.
Resuming the set speedIf ACC is in standby mode, it can be reactiva- ted by pressing the
button on the steering
wheel keypad. The vehicle will return to the most recently set speed.
WARNING
The vehicle may accelerate quickly after
has been pressed if its current speed is
considerably lower than the set speed.
Passing another vehicleIf your vehicle’s speed is being regulated by ACC and the driver indicates that he/shewould like to pass the vehicle ahead by usingthe left turn signal, ACC can assist by accel-
erating briefly. This function is active at speeds above approximately 45 mph (70 km/h).
