informs the driver when a speed limit  
is detected by the speed limit  
recognition. The detected speed limit  
can be used as new value for the  
cruise control.  
Using a camera at the top of the  
windscreen, this system detects and  
reads speed limit and end of speed  
limit signs. The system also takes  
account of information on speed limits  
from the navigation map data.

the adaptive cruise control will  
behave like a conventional cruise  
control.  
The adaptive cruise control can store  
set speeds for manual transmission.  
If the vehicle ahead is moving too  
slowly and the selected following  
distance cannot be maintained  
anymore, a warning chime is given  
and a message is displayed in the  
Driver Information Centre. The  
message prompts the driver to take  
back control of the vehicle. On  
vehicles with automatic transmission,  
the system can brake the vehicle until  
a full stop.  
The adaptive cruise control can store  
set speeds over 19 mph for manual  
transmission. If the vehicle ahead is  
moving too slowly and the selected  
following distance cannot be  
maintained anymore, a warning  
chime is given and a message is  
displayed in the Driver Information  
Centre. The message prompts the  
driver to take back control of the  
vehicle. On vehicles with automatic  
transmission, the system can brake  
the vehicle until a full stop.  
9 Warning  
The complete driver attention is  
always required while driving with  
adaptive cruise control. The driver  
stays fully in control of the vehicle  
because the brake pedal, the  
accelerator pedal and the button  
Ñ have priority over any adaptive  
cruise control operation.  
The adaptive cruise control  
automatically decelerates the vehicle  
when approaching a slower moving  
vehicle. It then adjusts the vehicle  
speed to follow the vehicle ahead at  
the selected following distance. The  
vehicle speed increases or decreases  
to follow the vehicle ahead, but will  
not exceed the set speed. It may  
apply limited braking with activated  
brake lights.  
Switching on the system  
If the vehicle ahead accelerates or  
changes lane, the adaptive cruise  
control progressively accelerates the  
vehicle to return to the stored set  
speed. If the driver operates the turn  
lights to overtake a slower vehicle, the  
adaptive cruise control allows the  
vehicle to temporarily approach the  
vehicle ahead to help passing it.  
However, the set speed will never be  
exceeded.

While entering or exiting a motorway,  
adaptive cruise control may lose the  
vehicle ahead and accelerate up to  
the set speed. For this reason,  
decrease the set speed before the  
exit or before the entry.  
Hill considerations  
If the centrifugal force is too high in a  
bend, the system slows down the  
vehicle slightly. This braking level is  
not designed to avoid spinning-off the  
bend. The driver is responsible for  
reducing the selected speed before  
entering a bend and in general to  
adapt the speed to the road type and  
to existing speed limits.  
9 Warning  
Do not use the adaptive cruise  
control on steep hill roads.  
Vehicle path changes  
System performance on hills depends  
on vehicle speed, vehicle load, traffic  
conditions and the road incline. It may  
not detect a vehicle in your path while  
driving on hills. On steep hills, you  
may have to use the accelerator  
pedal to maintain your vehicle speed.  
When going downhill you may have to  
brake to maintain or reduce your  
speed.  
Motorways  
If another vehicle enters your driving  
path, adaptive cruise control will first  
consider the vehicle when it is  
completely in your path. Be ready to  
take action and depress the brake  
pedal, if you need to brake more  
quickly.  
On motorways, adapt the set speed  
to the situation and the weather.  
Always consider that adaptive cruise  
control has a limited visibility range, a  
limited braking level and a certain  
reaction time to verify if a vehicle is on  
the driving path or not. Adaptive  
cruise control may not be able to  
brake the vehicle in time to avoid a
