WARNING

Adaptive Cruise Control only warns of vehi-
cles detected by the radar sensor, see
page 160. In some cases there may be no
warning or the warning may be delayed. The
driver should always apply the brakes when
necessary.

Steep inclines and/or heavy loads

ACC is primarily intended for use on fairly level
roads. The system may have difficulty main-
taining the correct distance to a vehicle ahead
on steep inclines, if the vehicle is carrying a
heavy load or is towing a trailer. In these situa-
tions, the driver should always be prepared to
apply the brakes if necessary.

parentheses (---) indicate that ACC is in
standby mode.

NOTE

The driver's door must be closed and the
driver's seat belt must be fastened before
ACC can be put in active mode. If the driv-
er's seat belt is taken off or if the driver's
door is opened, ACC will return to standby
mode.

Setting a speed

Once ACC has been put in standby mode, use
the

current speed. This puts the system in active
mode. The set speed, for example 55 mph, is
shown in the display.
