- Fig. 1 Instrument cluster: Driver intervention prompt
Applies to vehicles: with adaptive cruise control
The driver intervention prompt is a warning for the driver to reduce speed manually.
In some situations the adaptive cruise control system alone is not able to brake the vehicle sufficiently to maintain a safe distance to the vehicle in front. The adaptive cruise control system will then call on you as the driver to take control of the situation yourself.
The Driver intervention prompt provides both a visual and an acoustic warning.
- A red vehicle symbol will appear in the instrument cluster display Fig. 1.
- The system status indicator will show DISTANCE!.
- The indicator lamp
in the speedometer will flash in a red colour. - An acoustic warning will also sound (unless it has been deactivated in the MMI settings).
Note
- Pressing the brake pedal will switch off the adaptive cruise control system. The speed set at that point will, however, remain stored until the adaptive cruise control is activated again.
- To resume the programmed cruising speed, release the brake pedal and pull the control lever towards you Link.
- If you exceed the target speed by using the accelerator, the driver intervention prompt will not be accompanied by a warning tone. The indicator lamp shown in the speedometer will also switch off if the target speed is exceeded.
