cially on longer trips, the system can reduce

fatigue and tension, while increasing your

enjoyment of driving. Please use it safely and

responsibly.

In addition to holding a steady cruising speed, if

you encounter slower vehicles ahead, active

cruise control will, within the scope of given

possibilities, adjust your vehicle's speed auto-

matically so that one can flow with the traffic

without having to make constant adjustments.

If, for example, while cruising at the selected

speed, you begin to approach a slower vehicle

ahead of you in the same lane, the system will

reduce your vehicle's speed to the same as that

of the vehicle ahead to maintain your selected

distance setting between your vehicle and the

vehicle ahead. There are four settings for dis-

tance, which are additionally speed-dependent.

Based on your selected distance setting, the

system automatically decreases the throttle

setting and lightly applies the brakes if neces-

sary. The vehicle brake lamps will automatically

illuminate to signal a following driver to take

action. In addition, it may be necessary for the

vehicle or the driver to downshift, depending on

the kind of transmission your vehicle is

equipped with, to maintain the distance setting

selected. If the vehicle ahead speeds up or

when the lane ahead becomes clear, your vehi-

cle will accelerate to the speed you have

selected by increasing the throttle setting and

shifting gears automatically or by the driver as

needed.

Active cruise control is not and must not

be used as a collision avoidance/warning

system.<

Since this active cruise control system is

a new technology and operates differ-

ently from conventional cruise control systems

which you may be accustomed to, you are

strongly urged to read all of the pages relating

to this system before use. Pay special attention

to the information contained in the Things to

know about active cruise control section in this

manual beginning on page 66.<

Vehicles with manual transmission

You can use the system in the 2nd to 6th gear

within a normal engine speed range and also

change gears. Continuous operation at very

high or very low engine speeds is not possible.

In this case the driver is asked to shift or the

system deactivates itself.

Vehicles with SMG

Continuous operation at very high engine

speeds is not possible in the Sequential mode.

In this case the driver is asked to shift or the

system deactivates itself.

In the Drive mode the SMG acts similarly to the

automatic transmission in the D position.

Operating active cruise control

1 Activate system, store and increase desired

speed

2 Activate system, store and decrease

desired speed

3 Deactivate system

4 Recall the stored speed and distance or

increase desired speed by 1 mph/1 km/h

with each press of the button

5 Select distance to vehicle driving ahead.

You can choose from four available distance

settings. You will find more detailed infor-

mation on page 65.

Adjust your desired speed to the traffic

conditions and remain ready to brake at

all times. Great differences in speed to the vehi-

cles driving ahead, e.g. when quickly approach-

ing a truck or when another vehicle swerves into

your lane, cannot be compensated for by the

system.<
