WARNING
ACC cannot detect all driving situations correctly. If you do not maintain the minimum distance to the vehicle in front or if the
difference in speed between the vehicle in front and your own vehicle is so great that the braking action of ACC is insufficient, you are
in danger of colliding with the vehicle in front. This can cause serious injuries or death.
● Always be prepared to brake the vehicle yourself.
● Press the accelerator to override Adaptive Cruise Control. ACC does not brake automatically in this case.
● Observe any country-specific regulations relating to the minimum distance.
● Always set a larger distance in wet or snowy conditions or when visibility is poor.
Setting the system behaviour
You can influence how dynamically ACC reacts:
—Vehicles with driving profile selection:
Set preferred driving profile.
—Vehicles without driving profile selection:
Select the desired gearbox program in the Assist systems menu of the Infotainment system.
Some settings can be stored in the user accounts of the personalisation function and therefore change automatically when the
user account changes.
