Active Cruise Control with
Stop & Go ACC
Principle
This system allows you to set a desired speed
and a desired distance from the vehicle in front,
using the buttons on the steering wheel.
When the road ahead is clear, the system main‐
tains the desired speed by braking or accelerat‐
ing the vehicle automatically, as required.
If there is a vehicle driving in front, the system
adapts the speed of your vehicle in order to
maintain the set distance from the vehicle ahead.
The speed is adapted as far as the given situa‐
tion allows.
General
A radar sensor in the front bumper and a camera
on the rear-view mirror are used to detect vehi‐
cles ahead.
Depending on the vehicle setting, the character‐
istics of Cruise Control may change in certain
areas, for example acceleration in ECO PRO
drive mode is less pronounced.
The distance can be set in several stages and for
safety reasons is dependent on the respective
speed.
If the vehicle ahead brakes to a standstill and
sets off again shortly afterwards, the system can
recognise this within the given context.
Safety notes
WARNING
The system does not relieve you of your per‐
sonal responsibility to assess the traffic situa‐
tion correctly. Due to system limitations, it can‐
not respond independently and appropriately in
all traffic conditions. There is a risk of accident.
Adapt your driving style to the traffic conditions.
Observe the traffic situation and intervene ac‐
tively if the situation warrants it.
WARNING
An unsecured vehicle can start moving and roll‐
ing away. There is a risk of accident. Before
leaving the vehicle, secure it to prevent it from
rolling away.
Observe the following to ensure that the vehi‐
cle is secured against rolling away:
▷ Apply the parking brake.
▷ Turn the front wheels towards the kerb on
upward or downward gradients.
▷ Additionally secure the vehicle on upward
or downward gradients, for example with a
chock.
WARNING
The desired speed may be set incorrectly by
mistake or called up accidentally. There is a risk
of accident. Adjust the desired speed to the
traffic conditions. Observe the traffic situation
and intervene actively if the situation warrants it.
WARNING
There is a danger of accidents if the difference
in speed relative to other vehicles is excessively
high. This may occur, for example, in the
following situations:
▷ When quickly approaching a slowly mov‐
ing vehicle.
▷ If another vehicle suddenly veers into the
vehicle's own lane.
▷ When quickly approaching stationary vehi‐
cles.
There is a danger of injury or even death. Ob‐
serve the traffic situation and intervene actively
if the situation warrants it.
