Active Cruise Control with
Distance Control
Principle
Using the Cruise Control, a desired speed and
a distance to a vehicle ahead can be adjusted
using the buttons on the steering wheel.
Warning
An unsecured vehicle can begin to move and
possibly roll away. There is a risk of accident,
injury, and property damage. Before leaving
the vehicle, secure the vehicle against rolling
away.
General information
The system maintains the set speed on clear
roads. The vehicle accelerates or brakes auto-
matically.
In order to ensure that the vehicle is secured
against rolling away, follow the following:
If a vehicle is driving ahead of you, the system
adjusts the speed of the vehicle so that the set
distance to the vehicle ahead is maintained.
The speed is adjusted as far as the given sit-
uation allows.
▷
▷
Set the parking brake.
Automatic transmission: Make sure that
selector lever position P is engaged.
▷
▷
On uphill grades or on downhill slopes,
turn the front wheels in the direction of
the curb.
The distance can be adjusted at several levels.
For safety reasons, it depends on the respec-
tive speed.
On uphill grades or on downhill slopes,
also secure the vehicle, for instance with
a wheel chock.
If the vehicle ahead of you brakes to a stand-
still and then drives off again within a brief pe-
riod, the system is able to detect this within the
given system limits.
