Active Cruise Control*

The principle

Active Cruise Control enables you to select
a speed which the car will then maintain
automatically, assuming your progress is
not obstructed.

Subject to reasonable limits, the system
automatically adjusts the speed of your car
if you come up behind a slower vehicle in
front. You can adjust the distance which
the system maintains between your own
car and the vehicle in front in four stages.
For safety reasons, this distance depends
on the speeds in question. To maintain
sufficient distance, the system automati­cally closes down the throttle, applies the
brakes if necessary, and speeds up again if
the vehicle in front accelerates. As soon as
the road ahead becomes clear, it acceler­ates to your desired speed again.

Active Cruise Control is no substitute

for the driver's individual responsi­bility to keep a safe distance from other
vehicles.
You should decide on the basis of the road,
traffic and visibility conditions whether and
how to use the system.
Only use the system in traffic that is flowing
at a steady speed; do not use it on roads
with tight bends, on slippery surfaces, in
heavy rain or in fog.
Check your road speed and stopping
distance, to avoid committing a traffic
offence or running the risk of causing an
accident.<

Operating Active Cruise Control

1 Activating the system:

Memorising and increasing the desired
speed

2 Activating the system:
Memorising and reducing the desired
speed

3 Interrupting the system
4 With the system interrupted:

Briefly press the button to call up the
memorised speed

4 With the system activated:
Increase the desired speed by 1 mph each
time the button is pressed

5 Selected distance from vehicle in front.
You can choose between four distance
levels. For further details, see page 72.

Adjust your desired speed in line with

the traffic conditions, and always
remain ready to apply the brakes. The
system is unable to compensate for high

differences in speed between your car and
a preceding vehicle, e.g. if you approach a
heavy goods vehicle at high speed or if
another vehicle turns out into your lane.<

Activating the system

You can activate the system from a speed
of 20 mph. Press the lever forward or pull it
back. You can now use the system.

The current speed is simultaneously
memorised as the desired speed and
briefly displayed in the speedometer, see
arrow.

The ideal operating conditions are main
roads, dual carriageways and motorways
where you are able to drive at speeds of
between approx. 50 and 90 mph. Always
observe the speed limit for the road on
which you are driving.

If the system cannot be activated, the

display ACC --- mph appears briefly
in the speedometer. The system may have
been interrupted automatically, see Inter­rupting the system, or there may be a
malfunction.
Calling up Check Control messages, see
page 79.<
