Limitations for automatic speed
limiter
Automatic speed limitation (ASL47) takes
place using speed information from the Road
Sign Information function* (RSI48) – not from
the speed limit road signs that the car
passes.
Cruise control
The cruise control (CC49) helps the driver
maintain an even speed, which can result in
more relaxed driving on motorways and long,
straight roads in regular traffic flows.
In cars equipped with adaptive cruise con-
trol* (ACC50), it is possible to switch
between cruise control and adaptive cruise
control.
If road sign information cannot interpret and
provide speed information to the driver sup-
port systems, the automatic speed limiter is
set in standby mode and changes to normal
speed limiter. In such cases the driver must
intervene and brake to a suitable speed.
The automatic speed limiter will be reactivated
when road sign information can once again
interpret and provide speed information.

judgement. The driver is always

In order to start the cruise control from the
standby mode, the car's current speed must
be 30 km/h (20 mph) or higher.
1. Press ◀ (1) or ▶ (3) to scroll to the symbol
for cruise control

foot brake
> The symbol is grey – cruise control is in
standby mode.
With Cruise Control, speed is regulated with
less frequent application of the foot brake. On
a downhill gradient it may sometimes be
desirable to start moving a little faster and
limit the acceleration by engine braking. In this
case the driver can temporarily disable foot
brake application by Cruise Control.

Standby mode for cruise control
Automatic standby mode
Activation of automatic standby mode can be
due to one of the following:
Cruise control (CC53) can be deactivated and
set in standby mode. This can take place due
to driver intervention or automatically.
Standby mode means that the function is
selected in the driver display but not activated.
In this case, cruise control does not regulate
speed.
The adaptive cruise control (ACC55) can help
the driver to maintain a constant speed, com-
bined with a preset time interval to the vehi-
cle ahead.
The wheels are losing traction.
The engine speed is too low/high.
Brake temperature is too high.
Speed falls below 30 km/h (20 mph).
•

•
•
The driver must then control the speed him-
self/herself.
Standby mode on driver intervention
Cruise control is deactivated and set to
standby mode if any of the following occur:

•
The gear selector is moved to N position.
•
The clutch pedal is held depressed for
longer than 1 minute.
•
The driver maintains a speed higher than
the stored speed for longer than 1 minute.
•
The camera and radar unit measures the distance to
the vehicle ahead.
The driver must then control the speed him-
self/herself.
An adaptive cruise control can provide a more
relaxing driving experience on long journeys on
motorways and long straight main roads in
smooth traffic flows.
A temporary increase in speed with the accel-
erator pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not
affect the setting - the car returns to the last
stored speed when the accelerator pedal is
released.
The driver selects the desired speed and a
time interval to the vehicle ahead. If the cam-
era and radar unit detects a slower vehicle in
front of the car, the speed is adapted automat-
ically via the preset time interval to the vehicle.

The adaptive cruise control aims to:
•
regulate the speed smoothly. In situations
that demand sudden braking the driver
must brake himself/herself. This applies in
cases of large speed differences or if the
vehicle in front brakes suddenly. Due to
the limitations of the radar unit, braking
may come unexpectedly or not at all.

at a time interval set by the driver. If the
radar unit 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
ahead increases and exceeds the stored
speed.

cruise control*61
The time interval is only
adjusted to the vehicle ahead
by the Adaptive cruise control
when the distance symbol
shows two vehicles. At the
same time a speed range is
marked.
Adaptive cruise control (ACC62) must first be
selected and then activated to enable it to
control speed and distance.
When driving
In the following illustrative example, the road
sign information* (RSI60) function informs the
driver that the maximum permitted speed is
130 km/h (80 mph).
The previous illustration shows that the adap-
tive cruise control is set to maintain 110 km/h
(68 mph) and at the same time is following a
vehicle ahead which is keeping the same
speed.
To start the function requires the following:

control is dependent on stops working,
e.g. stability control / anti-skid (ESC67).
•
•
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. The function may have dif-
ficulty in keeping the correct distance from the
vehicle ahead when driving on steep downhill
slopes - in which case, be extra attentive and
ready to brake.
The driver opens the door.

The driver takes off the seatbelt.
The engine speed is too low/high.
One or more wheels lose traction.
The brake temperature is high.
The parking brake is applied.
The camera and radar unit is covered by
e.g. snow or heavy rainfall (camera lens/
radio waves are blocked).
Do not use adaptive cruise control if the car
has a heavy load or a trailer is connected to
the car.
The speed is below 5 km/h (3 mph) and
ACC is uncertain whether the vehicle
ahead is a stationary vehicle or an object,
such as a speed bump.
•
Drive mode unavailable
Drive mode Off Road cannot be selected
when the adaptive cruise control is activated.
The speed is below 5 km/h (3 mph) and
the vehicle ahead turns off so that ACC no
longer has a vehicle to follow.
