approximately 5 mph (8 km/h)
When the system is in active mode, the button has the same function as , but results in a smaller increase in
speed.
NOTE
If adaptive cruise control does not react to activation, this may be because the set time interval to the closest
vehicle prevents an increase in speed.
In some situations cruise control cannot be activated. Cruise Control Unavailable is shown in the display, see page
149.
Setting a time interval

The set time interval to vehicles ahead is increased with and decreased with . The current time interval is
shown briefly in the display following adjustment.

Time intervals one and two are primarily intended for driving in queues in heavy traffic, in which case you must
intervene more often.

Visual warning signal, collision risk
Sensor
The radar sensor detects vehicles ahead that are moving in the same direction as your vehicle. In the event of a
collision risk, you will be alerted by a red warning light and an audible warning signal.
If the risk of collision increases after the warning, brake support is activated.
The brake support prepares the brake system for rapid braking and the brakes are applied gently, which may be
noticeable. If the brake pedal is depressed quickly then braking is implemented with full brake function, even if the
force on the pedal is light.

Collision warning system (option)
The collision warning system is active at speeds above approximately 5 mph (7 km/h).
Limitations
The visual warning signal may be difficult to see in strong sunlight or when sunglasses are being worn. For this reason
always activate the audible warning signal in such conditions.
NOTE
The visual warning signal may be temporarily disengaged in the event of high passenger compartment temperature
due to strong sunlight, etc. If this occurs, the audible warning signal will be used, even if it has been deactivated in
the menu system.
Warnings may not appear if the distance to the vehicle ahead is very small or if steering wheel and pedal movements
are large, for example, due to a very active driving style.
The collision warning system uses the same radar sensors as adaptive cruise control. For more information on the radar
sensor and its limitations, see page 146
.
WARNING
In certain situations, the system cannot provide warnings, the warning may be delayed, or false warnings may be
given if traffic conditions make it impossible for the radar sensor to detect the vehicle ahead.
If no warning is given, no brake support is provided.
