Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Introduction
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
maintains your selected speed. When
the vehicle approaches a vehicle driving
ahead, the ACC adjusts the speed
automatically and maintains your set
distance to the vehicle driving ahead.
Does this vehicle have ACC?
The vehicle has ACC if you can adjust ACC settings in the Assistance systems menu in the Infotainment system.
Speed range
You can set a speed between approx. 20 mph (approx. 30 km/h) and approx. 130 mph (approx. 210 km/h). The maximum speed that you can set may be lower,
depending on the vehicle equipment and country.
Driving with ACC
You can override the ACC system at any time. The regulation function is canceled when you apply the brakes. When you accelerate, the regulation function is
paused while accelerating and then resumed.
If a trailer is hitched, ACC is less dynamic.
Driver intervention request
If automatic deceleration by the ACC is not sufficient or the system limits are reached, the ACC will prompt you – with a message in the instrument cluster –
to also apply the brakes. The red warning light will also turn on and a warning tone will sound. Take over steering and be ready to brake.
Radar sensor
ACC detects driving situations using a radar sensor in the front of the vehicle. The radar sensor has a range of up to approx. 120 m (approx. 400 ft).
WARNING
The intelligent technology of the ACC cannot overcome the natural laws of physics and can operate only within the limits of the system. Never allow the
increased convenience to tempt you into taking risks. Careless or unintended use of the ACC system can cause accidents and serious injuries. The system
cannot replace the driver's attention.
Always adapt your speed and distance to vehicles driving ahead based on the visual, weather, road, and traffic conditions.
Never use ACC when visibility is poor or when roads are steep, winding, flooded, or slippery, like from snow, ice, moisture, or gravel.
Never use ACC when driving off-road or on unpaved roads. ACC is only designed for use on paved roads.
Take over steering immediately if a driver intervention prompt appears in the instrument cluster display or the deceleration by ACC is not sufficient.
Apply the brakes if the vehicle continues to roll unintentionally, e.g. after a driver intervention prompt.
Always be ready to resume control of the vehicle speed.
