-B- Warning and indicator lamps
- The adaptive cruise control is switched on. No vehicle has been detected in front. A constant cruising speed is being maintained.
- A vehicle in front has been detected. The adaptive cruise control regulates the speed to maintain a constant distance to the vehicle in front, and accelerates and brakes the vehicle automatically.
- The adaptive cruise control is switched on. A vehicle in front has been detected. Your vehicle is stationary and will not be set in motion again automatically.
- The adaptive cruise control alone is not able to brake the vehicle sufficiently to maintain a safe distance to the vehicle in front. You must intervene ►Link.-C- Graphical display in instrument cluster
If the adaptive cruise control is not shown on the instrument cluster display, you can call up the display using the controls on the multi-function steering wheel ►Link.
The graphical display will show you whether the system has detected a vehicle in front and how far the distance is.
No vehicle - No vehicle has been detected in front.
Vehicle in white - A vehicle has been detected in front.
Vehicle in red - Driver intervention prompt ►Link.
The two arrows on the scale -C- indicate the distance to the vehicle in front. If there is no vehicle in front, no arrows will be shown. If a vehicle is detected in front, the arrows will be on the scale.
The green area of the scale represents the distance setting (for information on how to change the distance setting, refer to ►Link). When the actual distance is shorter (or is likely to become shorter) than the distance selected, the arrows move into the red area of the scale.
WARNING!
If you press the SET button at a speed of less than 30 km/h, the vehicle will automatically accelerate up to the minimum speed setting of 30 km/h.
Note
- The speed setting is cleared for safety reasons when you switch off the ignition or the adaptive cruise control system.
- The electronic stabilisation control (ESC) and traction control system (ASR) are automatically activated when the adaptive cruise control is switched on.
