Storing the speed and activating regulation
If you have switched the system on, you can set
the current speed as the "regulated speed" and
activate regulation:
- Press the button 2. The
set speed is indicated
with a marking in the speedometer 1
fig. 97 and shown in the
instrument
cluster.
- To save the speed while the vehicle is stationary,
also hold the brake pedal down.
You can set any speed between 15 mph
(20 km/h) and the maximum possible speed
range 31) fig. 97.
1) Depends on the country and engine
- While driving or when the vehicle is stationary:
Press the lever away from you in the direction
of the arrow. Or
- While driving: Press the brake pedal.
The indicator light turns off.
Resuming regulation
The previously set speed can be resumed at any
time after a pause.
- To resume cruise control while driving, pull the
lever toward you in the direction of the arrow.
- To resume cruise control when stationary, pull
the lever toward you in the direction of the arrow
while pressing the brake pedal.
Changing the speed
- To increase or decrease the set speed in increments,
tap the lever in the +/- direction.
- To increase or decrease the set speed continuously,
hold the lever toward + or - until the
marking in the speedometer 1
fig. 97 has reached the desired speed.
Applies to: vehicles with predictive control: Predictive
control can automatically adjust the set
speed based on traffic and road conditions.
Preselecting a speed
You can also preselect the speed when adaptive
cruise assist is not active by moving the lever in
the desired direction +/-. Activate the previously
selected speed by pulling the lever toward
you in the direction of the arrow.
Switching off
If you do not want to use the adaptive cruise assist
for a longer period of time, you can switch it
off.
- Push the lever away from you into position 0
until it clicks into place.
The indicator light and the set speed will turn off.
WARNING
- Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras.
- The activated adaptive cruise assist is only
an assist system, and the driver is still responsible
for controlling the vehicle. The
driver is especially responsible for braking,
steering, starting to drive, and controlling
the speed and the distance from other
vehicles.
- Turn on the adaptive cruise assist only if the
surrounding conditions permit it. Always
adapt your driving style to the current visual,
weather, road, and traffic conditions.
- Switch the adaptive cruise assist off temporarily
when driving in turning lanes or highway
exits. This prevents the vehicle from accelerating
to the stored speed when in these
situations.
- If you press the
button 2 when driving
at speeds below 15 mph (20 km/h), the
minimum possible speed that the system
can maintain will be set. If no vehicle is detected
ahead of you, the vehicle will accelerate
up to that speed.
