Road Sign Information (RSI) – limitations
RSI's camera has the same limitations as the human eye. See The camera’s limitations(p. 204) for more information about the cam-era'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
• Twisted or damaged signs
• Obstructed signs
• Signs that are partially covered by snow, ice, etc.

• Press and hold the
button; the symbol
in the instrument panel will switch from
to .
> This activates the standard cruise control function (see Cruise control (CC) – intro- duction (p. 168)).
WARNING
Switching from ACC to CC means that:
• Your vehicle will
no longer automati-
cally maintain a set distance to a vehi- cle ahead.
• Only the set speed will be maintainedand the driver will have to apply thebrakes when needed.
Switching from CC to ACC
Switch off cruise control by pressing once
or twice as needed according to the instruc- tions in the previous section "Turning ACC off completely." The next time the system isswitched on, ACC will be reactivated.

Function overview 1
Warning light, braking by driver required
Controls in steering wheel
Radar sensor in front grille
Adaptive Cruise Control consists of: • A cruise control system to maintain a set speed
• A system to maintain a set distance to thevehicle ahead, which is expressed as atime interval. For example, you canchoose to remain approximately 2 sec-onds behind the vehicle ahead. Theactual distance required to maintain a2-second interval will vary according thespeed of the vehicles.

WARNING
Adaptive Cruise Control only warns of vehicles detected by the radar sensor, seeAdaptive Cruise Control – limitations(p. 180). 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.

> The set speed, for example 60 mph (5), will be magnified for several seconds and the frame around the speed will changecolors from white to green to indicate
that this speed has been stored (set).
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

Decrease/increase time interval
The 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
2
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.

WARNING
The vehicle may accelerate quickly after
has been pressed if its current speed is
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 system. If this system is not function-ing properly, ACC will switch off automati-cally. 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)
• the wheels lose traction
• brake temperature is high
• the radar sensor is obstructed by, forexample, wet snow or rain.
