(ACC)
Β· Always adapt your speed and distance from the vehicle in
front according to visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions.
Introduction to the topic
Β· Never use ACC in poor visibility, on steep, curvy or slippery
sections (eg in the event of snow, ice, rain or loose gravel),
or on flooded roads.
Adaptive cruise control (ACC = Adapti ve Cruise Control)
maintains a constant speed set by you. When the vehicle
approaches a vehicle in front, ACC automatically adapts the
speed and thus maintains the distance set by you.
Β· Never use ACC off-road or in
roads that are not firm ground. The ACC is intended for use
on paved roads only.
The ACC reacts in a limited way to vehicles

has ACC if settings for this system can be made in the vehicle
settings menu of the infotainment system ΓΏ p. 36.
Β· The ACC does not react to people or animals, or to vehicles
that cross or approach from the opposite direction in the
same lane.
Speed range ACC regulates
at speeds between 30 km/h (20 mph) and 210 km/h (130
mph). This range may vary depending on the market.
Brake immediately if ACC does not reduce the
speed enough.
Β· Brake immediately when a warning is displayed.

Driving with ACC
You can override ACC regulation at any time. If you brake, the
regulation is interrupted. If it accelerates, the regulation is
interrupted for the duration of the acceleration and is resumed
afterwards.
Β· Brake when, after an indication to brake, the vehicle rolls
without this being desired.

in the instrument cluster. In addition, the red warning lamp
lights up and an audible warning sounds. Stop immediately!
Radar sensor
ACC detects driving situations using a radar sensor located at
the front of the vehicle. The range of this sensor is approx. 120 m
(400 ft).
WARNING
The intelligent technology of the ACC cannot cross the limits
imposed by the physical laws and only works within the limits
of the system. Never let the increased comfort provided by this
technology induce you to take any risk that compromises safety.
If used carelessly or inadvertently, it may cause
