Changing the speedIn active mode the speed is adjusted 5 km/h
with each press on
or . In active mode
the button
has the same function as but
results in a lower increase in speed. The last
press is stored in the memory.
NOTE
If any cruise control button is held
depressed for more than approx. 1 minute
then cruise control is disengaged. The
engine must be switched off in order to reset
cruise control.
In certain situations, cruise control cannot
be activated. Then the display shows
Cruise control Unavailable, see
page 183.
Set time intervalDifferent time intervals to the
vehicle in front can be
selected and shown in the
display as 1-5 horizontal lines
- the more lines the longer the
time distance. One line corre-
sponds to approximately
1 second, 5 lines approximately 2.5 seconds.
The time interval is increased or decreased
with the steering wheel keypad's thumbwheel
(or the buttons
/ for cars without Speed
limiter).
At low speed, when the distances are short, the
adaptive cruise control increases the time
interval slightly.
The adaptive cruise control allows the time
interval to vary noticeably in certain situations
in order to allow the car to follow the vehicle in
front smoothly and comfortably.
Note that a short time interval only allows the
driver a short time to react and take action if
any unforeseen traffic problem should arise.
The number of lines for the
selected time interval is
shown during the setting itself
and for several seconds after-
wards. Then a smaller scale
version of the symbol is
shown to the right of the dis-
play. The same symbol is also shown when
Distance Warning is activated, see page 185.
NOTE
Only use the time interval that is allowed in
accordance with local traffic regulations.
If cruise control does not seem to react to
activation the reason may be that the time
interval to the closest vehicle prevents an
increase in speed.
The higher the speed, the longer the calcu-
lated distance in metres for a specific time
interval.
