Driver support functions are not a sub-
stitute for the driver's attention and
judgment. The driver is always respon-
sible for ensuring the vehicle is driven
in a safe manner, at the appropriate
speed, with an appropriate distance to
other vehicles, and in accordance with
current traffic rules and regulations.
The camera/radar sensor measures the distance to
the vehicle ahead.
The driver sets a speed and a time interval to
the vehicle ahead. If the camera/radar sensor
detects a slower-moving vehicle ahead, your
vehicle's speed will be automatically adapted
according to the set time interval to that vehi-
cle. When there are no longer slower-moving

accelerating and braking. It is normal for the

and display
A summary of how Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC22) is controlled using the left-side steer-
ing wheel keypad and how the function is
shown in the display.
Adaptive Cruise Control always attempts to
regulate speed smoothly. The driver must
apply the brakes in situations requiring imme-
diate braking. For example, when there are
great differences in speed between vehicles or
if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly. Due to
limitations in the radar sensor, braking may
occur unexpectedly or not at all.
Collision risk warning from driver support
(p. 298)
Setting time interval to the vehicle ahead
(p. 301)
Adaptive Cruise Control is designed to follow
a vehicle ahead in the same lane and maintain
a time interval to that vehicle set by the driver.
If the radar sensor does not detect a vehicle
ahead, it will instead maintain the speed set
by the driver. This will also happen if the speed
of the vehicle ahead exceeds the set speed for
your vehicle.

WARNING
•
limitations
With automatic standby mode, the driver is
warned by an acoustic signal and a mes-
sage on the instrument panel.
•
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC31) may have
limited functionality in certain situations.
•
•
The driver must then regulate vehicle
speed, apply the brakes if necessary,
and maintain a safe distance to other
vehicles.
•
Steep roads and/or heavy loads
Adaptive Cruise Control is primarily intended
to be driven on flat roads. The function may
not be able to maintain the correct time inter-
val to the vehicle ahead when driving down
steep hills. The driver should be extra attentive
and prepared to apply the brakes.
Adaptive Cruise Control may go into standby
mode if:
your vehicle's speed goes below 5 km/h
(3 mph) and ACC cannot determine if the
vehicle ahead is stationary or if it is
another object, e.g. a speed bump.
•
Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control if the vehi-
cle is carrying a heavy load or towing a trailer.
Other limitations
The Off Road drive mode cannot be selected
if Adaptive Cruise Control is activated.
your vehicle's speed goes under 5 km/h
(3 mph) and the vehicle ahead turns so
that ACC no longer has a vehicle to follow.
