Adaptive cruise control* - function

Adaptive cruise control consists of a cruise con-
trol system and a coordinated spacing system.

Function overview

Warning lamp - braking by driver required

Radar sensor (p. 210)

WARNING

Adaptive cruise control is not a collision avoid-

ance system. The driver must intervene if the

system does not detect a vehicle in front.
The adaptive cruise control does not brake for

humans or animals, and not for small vehicles

such as bicycles and motorcycles. Nor for low

trailers, oncoming, slow or stationary vehicles

and objects.
Do not use the adaptive cruise control, for

example, in city traffic, in dense traffic, at junc-

tions, on slippery surfaces, with a lot of water

or slush on the road, in heavy rain/snow, in

poor visibility, on winding roads or on slip

roads.

Distance to the vehicle ahead (p. 201) is meas-
ured primarily by a radar sensor (p. 210). The
cruise control function regulates the speed with
acceleration and braking. It is normal for the
brakes to emit a low sound when they are being
used by the adaptive cruise control.

WARNING

The brake pedal moves when the adaptive

cruise control brakes. Do not rest your foot

beneath the brake pedal - it may then

become trapped.

The adaptive cruise control aims to follow the
vehicle ahead in the same lane according to what
the driver set for time interval (p. 201). If the
radar sensor cannot see any vehicle in front then
the car will instead maintain the speed set and
stored by the driver. This also takes place if the
speed of the vehicle in front exceeds the stored
speed.

The adaptive cruise control aims to control the
speed in a smooth way. In situations that demand
sudden braking the driver must brake himself/
herself. This applies with large differences in
speed, or if the vehicle in front brakes heavily.
Due to limitations in the radar sensor (p. 210)
braking may come unexpectedly or not at all.

The adaptive cruise control can be activated to
follow another vehicle at speeds from 30 km/h

(20 mph) up to 200 km/h (125 mph). If the
speed falls below 30 km/h (20 mph) or if the
engine speed becomes too low, the cruise con-
trol is set in standby mode (p. 202) at which
automatic braking ceases - the driver must then
take over himself/herself to maintain a safe dis-
tance to the vehicle in front.

NOTE: The illustration is schematic - details may differ depending on car model.

Queue Assist (p. 203) (in cars with automatic gearbox) can operate in the range 0-200 km/h (0-125 mph).

DRIVER SUPPORT

* Option/accessory.

198

Warning lamp - braking by driver
required

Adaptive cruise control has a braking capacity
that is equivalent to approx. 40% of the car's
braking capacity.

Audio-visual warning signal in the event of a collision
risk

If the car needs to be braked more heavily than
the adaptive cruise control capacity and the driver
does not brake, then the warning lamp and warn-
ing sound from the Collision warning system
(p. 222) are used in order to alert the driver that
immediate intervention is required.

Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light con-
trasts, the use of sunglasses, or if the driver is
not looking straight ahead may make the vis-
ual warning signal in the windscreen difficult
to recognise.

WARNING

The adaptive cruise control only warns of

vehicles which its radar unit has detected -

hence a warning may not be given, or it may

be given with a certain delay.

•

Never wait for a warning. Apply the
brakes when the situation requires.

Steep roads and/or heavy load

Bear in mind that the adaptive cruise control is
primarily intended for use when driving on level
road surfaces. It may have difficulty in keeping
the correct distance from the vehicle ahead when
driving on steep downhill slopes, with a heavy
load or with a trailer - in which case, be extra
attentive and ready to slow down.

Adaptive cruise control* - managing

speed

Adaptive cruise control with Speed limiter

Adaptive cruise control without Speed limiter

To start the ACC:

•

Press the steering wheel button

- a simi-

lar WHITE symbol illuminates in the com-
bined instrument panel (8) which shows that
the adaptive cruise control is in standby
mode (p. 202).

To activate ACC:

•

At the required speed - press the steering
wheel button

The current speed is stored in the memory,
the combined instrument panel shows a
"magnifying glass" (6) around the stored
speed for a second or so and its marking
changes from WHITE to GREEN.

When this symbol changes colour from
WHITE to GREEN, the ACC is active
and the car maintains the stored

speed.

Only when the symbol shows
an image of another vehicle is
the distance to the vehicle in
front controlled by the ACC.

At the same time a speed
range is marked:

•

the higher speed with GREEN marking is the
pre-programmed speed

•

the lower speed is the speed of the vehicle
in front.

Changing the stored speed

Stored speed is changed with short or long
presses on the

steering wheel button.

To adjust +/- 5 km/h (+/- 5 mph):

•

Use short presses - each press gives
+/- 5 km/h (+/- 5 mph).

To adjust +/- 1 km/h (+/- 1 mph):

•

Hold down the button and release it at the
required speed.

Last press made is stored in the memory.

If speed is increased using the accelerator pedal
prior to pressing the

button, then it is the

car's current speed when the button is pressed
that is stored.

A temporary increase in speed with the accelera-
tor pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not affect

the setting - the car returns to the last stored
speed when the accelerator pedal is released.

If any of the adaptive cruise control buttons
are held depressed for several minutes then
the function is blocked and deactivated. To be
able to reactivate it, the car must be stopped
and the engine restarted.

In certain situations it cannot be reactivated -
in which case, the combined instrument panel
(p. 208) shows

Adaptive cruise control* - set time

interval

Different time intervals to the
vehicle in front can be selected
and shown in the combined
instrument panel as 1-5 hori-
zontal lines - the more lines the

line corresponds to approxi-

mately 1 second to the vehicle in front, 5 lines

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 inter-
val 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 same symbol is also shown when Distance
Warning (p. 193) function is activated.

•

The higher the speed the longer the cal-
culated distance in metres for a given
time interval.

•

Only use the time intervals permitted by
local traffic regulations.

•

If the adaptive cruise control does not
seem to respond with a speed increase
when activated, it may be because the
time window to the vehicle ahead is
shorter than the set time window.

Adaptive cruise control* - temporary

deactivation, and standby mode

The adaptive cruise control can be temporarily
deactivated and set in standby mode.

Temporary deactivation/standby mode
- with speed limiter

To temporarily disengage the adaptive cruise
control and set it in standby mode:

•

Press the steering wheel button

This symbol and the stored speed's
marking then change colour from
GREEN to WHITE.

Temporary deactivation/standby mode
- without speed limiter

To temporarily disengage the adaptive cruise
control and set it in standby mode:

•

Press the steering wheel button

Standby mode due to driver
intervention

The adaptive cruise control is temporarily disen-
gaged and set automatically in standby mode if:

•

the foot brake is used

•

the clutch pedal is depressed for longer than
1 minute

•

the gear selector is moved to N position
(automatic gearbox)

•

the driver maintains speed higher than the
stored speed for longer than 1 minute.

The driver must then regulate the speed.

A temporary increase in speed with the accelera-
tor pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not affect
the setting - the car returns to the last stored
speed when the accelerator pedal is released.

Automatic standby mode

The adaptive cruise control is dependent on
other systems, e.g. Stability system ESC (p. 182).
If any of these systems stops working, the adap-
tive cruise control is deactivated automatically.

In the event of automatic deactivation a signal will
sound and the message

Adaptive cruise

control cancelled

is shown in the combined

instrument panel. The driver must then intervene
and adapt the speed and distance to the vehicle
ahead.

An automatic deactivation can be due to:

•

the driver opens the door

•

the driver takes off his seatbelt

•

engine speed is too low/high

•

speed has fallen below 30 km/h

(20 mph)

•

wheels lose traction

•

brake temperature is high

•

the radar sensor is covered e.g. by wet snow
or heavy rain (radar waves blocked).

Resume set speed

Adaptive cruise control in standby mode is reacti-
vated with one press on the steering wheel but-
ton

- the speed is then set to the last stored

speed.

A pronounced increase in speed may occur
after the cruise control has been reactivated
with the

button.

Adaptive cruise control* - overtaking

another vehicle

When the car is following another vehicle and the
driver indicates an impending overtaking
manoeuvre with the direction indicator

, the

adaptive cruise control helps to briefly accelerate
the car towards the vehicle in front.

The function is active at speeds above 70 km/h
(43 mph).

WARNING

Be aware that this function can be activated

in more situations than during overtaking, e.g.

when a direction indicator is used to indicate

a change of lane or exit to another road – the

car will then accelerate briefly.

Adaptive Cruise Control* - queue

assistance

Queue assistance also provides the adaptive
cruise control with enhanced functionality at
speeds below 30 km/h (20 mph).

In cars with automatic gearbox the adaptive
cruise control is supplemented with the queue
assistance function (also referred to as "Queue
Assist").

Queue assistance has the following functions:

•

Extended speed range - also at lower than
30 km/h (20 mph) and at stationary

•

Change of target

•

Automatic braking ceases when stationary

•

Automatic activation parking brake.

Note that the lowest programmable speed for the
adaptive cruise control is 30 km/h (20 mph) -
even though it is capable of following another
vehicle down to 0 km/h, a speed lower than
30 km/h (20 mph) cannot be selected/stored.

Extended speed range

In order to activate the adaptive cruise control,
the driver's door must be closed and the
driver must be wearing the seatbelt.

On left flash only in left-hand-drive car, or right flash in right-hand-drive car.

DRIVER SUPPORT

204

With an automatic gearbox, the adaptive cruise
control can follow another vehicle within the
range 0-200 km/h (0-125 mph).

A vehicle in front must be within a reasonable
distance in order to enable activation of the
adaptive cruise control at a speed lower than
30 km/h (20 mph).

For shorter stops in connection with inching in
slow traffic or at traffic lights driving is automati-
cally resumed if the stops do not exceed about
3 seconds - if it takes longer before the car in
front starts moving again then the Adaptive
cruise control is set in standby mode with auto-
matic braking. The driver must then reactivate it
in one of the following ways:

•

Press the steering wheel button

...or...

•

Depress the accelerator pedal.

The adaptive cruise control will then resume
following the vehicle in front.

The Queue Assist function can hold the car
stationary for a maximum of 4 minutes - then
the parking brake is applied and the adaptive
cruise control is disengaged.

•

The parking brake must be released
before the adaptive cruise control can be
reactivated.

Change of target

If the target vehicle in front suddenly turns then there

may be stationary traffic in front.

When the adaptive cruise control is following
another vehicle at speeds below 30 km/h
(20 mph) and the target is changed from a mov-
ing vehicle to a stationary vehicle, the adaptive
cruise control will brake for the stationary vehicle.

WARNING

When the adaptive cruise control is following

a vehicle in front at speeds in excess of

30 km/h (20 mph) and the target is changed

from a vehicle in front to a stationary vehicle,

the adaptive cruise control will ignore the sta-

tionary vehicle and instead select the stored

speed.

•

The driver must intervene him/herself and
brake.

Automatic standby mode with change
of target

The adaptive cruise control is disengaged and set
in standby mode:

•

when the speed is below 5 km/h (5 mph)
and the adaptive cruise control is uncertain
whether the target object is a stationary vehi-
cle or some other object, e.g. a speed bump.

•

when the speed is below 5 km/h (5 mph)
and the vehicle in front turns off so the adap-
tive cruise control no longer has a vehicle to
follow.

Termination of automatic braking at a
standstill

In certain situations, queue assistance stops
automatic braking at a standstill. This means that
the brakes are released and the car may start to
roll - the driver must therefore intervene and

brake the car himself/herself in order to maintain
its position.

Queue assistance releases the foot brake and
sets the adaptive cruise control in standby mode
in the following situations:

•

the driver puts his/her foot on the brake
pedal

•

the parking brake is applied

•

the gear selector is moved to P, N or R posi-
tion

•

the driver sets the adaptive cruise control in
standby mode.

Automatic activation parking brake

In certain situations queue assistance applies the
parking brake in order to keep the car remaining
stationary.

This takes place if:

•

the driver opens the door or takes off his/her
seatbelt

•

ESC is changed from Normal to Sport
mode

•

for more than 4 minutes

•

the engine is switched off

then it

means that the adaptive cruise control's radar
sensor (p. 210) cannot detect other vehicles in
front of the car.

This message indicates that neither of the func-
tions for Distance Alert (p. 193) or Collision
Warning with Auto Brake (p. 222) are working.

The following table presents examples of possi-
ble causes for a message being shown along
with the appropriate action:

Cause

Action

The radar surface in the grille is dirty or covered with ice or snow.

Clean the radar surface in the grille from dirt, ice and snow.

Heavy rain or snow blocking the radar signals.

No action. Sometimes the radar does not work during heavy rain or snowfall.

Water or snow from the road surface swirls up and blocks the radar
signals.

No action. Sometimes the radar does not work on a very wet or snowy road sur-
face.

The radar surface has been cleaned but the message remains.

Wait. It could take several minutes for the radar to sense that it is no longer
blocked.
