- Fig. 1 Instrument cluster: Further information
Applies to vehicles: with adaptive cruise control
The text messages and symbols in this section of the display are not shown permanently.
Time intervals (e.g. 
)
)The various symbols for the time intervals -arrows- Fig. 1 appear when you change the settings.
The symbol indicates that the warning tone has been switched off.
indicates that the warning tone has been switched off....
The text message ... (three white dots) appears if a setting made with the control lever cannot be implemented. There can be several reasons for this:
- You have pulled the control lever towards you to resume the programmed cruising speed, without a target speed having been set.
- The control lever has been pushed up / down to increase / reduce the speed, without a target speed having been set.
- The control lever has been pushed up / down to increase / reduce the speed, but the resulting speed would be outside the range of 30 to 200 km/h.
ACC not available
The text message ACC not available will appear if, for example, the brakes are overheated. The adaptive cruise control will then temporarily not be available. This is indicated by a warning tone.
ACC not available!
The text message ACC not available! appears if a malfunction should occur. The adaptive cruise control will then be switched off. This is indicated by a warning tone. Have the system checked by a qualified workshop.
ACC sensor blocked!
The text message ACC sensor blocked! appears if the ACC system can no longer detect objects reliably. The adaptive cruise control will then be switched off. This is indicated by a warning tone.
The system uses further information (such as outside temperature or windscreen wiper operation) in order to decide whether to deactivate the adaptive cruise control (ACC sensor blocked !) or wait for the temporary condition to change (ACC functionality limited).
The ACC sensor is obstructed by dirt or foreign objects (e.g. leaves or snow).
Clean the sensor to restore the function (the sensor is located to the right of the front registration plate).
ESP activation
The text message ESP activation appears if the Electronic Stabilisation Programme (ESP) has intervened. In this case, the adaptive cruise control will automatically be switched off. This is indicated by a warning tone.
Speed
ACC functionality limited
The text message ACC functionality limited appears if the ACC system does not detect any objects for an extended period. The distance to vehicles in front is not being controlled while the message is displayed. The ACC system is not deactivated, and so extra care should be taken! The text message ACC functionality limited can appear for the following reasons:
- The ACC sensor is dirty. The ACC system is not responding or is not responding correctly to the vehicles in front!
- You may be driving on a country road with no traffic and no clear roadside demarcation (e.g. safety barriers, traffic signs, trees). As soon as the system detects a vehicle, distance control is resumed and the text message disappears.
The ACC sensor is located in the area to the right of the front registration plate. If the sensor is no longer functioning due to dirt or obstruction in this area, it should be cleaned.
Parking brake !
The text message Parking brake ! appears if the parking brake is operated. The adaptive cruise control will then be switched off. This is indicated by a warning tone.
Stationary object ahead
The text message Stationary object ahead appears if you try to activate the system when a stationary vehicle or obstacle is located immediately in front of your car.
Gradient too steep
The text message Gradient too steep appears if the maximum possible road gradient for safe operation of the adaptive cruise control is exceeded. The adaptive cruise control will then be switched off. This is indicated by a warning tone.
ACC off: manual control!
The text message ACC off: manual control! appears after the adaptive cruise control has slowed the vehicle to a standstill. In this case, you must press the brake pedal to prevent the vehicle from rolling away. This is indicated by a warning tone.
Selector lever position !
On vehicles with automatic gearbox the message Selector lever position ! appears if the shift lever is moved to position N. Adaptive cruise control is not available when the lever is in this position.
