Driving pedal is released, the stored speed is achieved again and maintained. Warning lamp Malfunction The warning lamp comes on when the system has failed. You can find more information starting on page 130. The warning lamp comes on when cruise control has been automatically deactivated by engaging the handbrake or as a result of DSC intervening. Active cruise control* Resuming a speed stored beforehand The concept Briefly press the button, arrow 4. the stored speed is resumed and maintained.
Braking sensation The system's automatic brake operation results in a braking sensation that is slightly different from what you feel when you brake the vehicle yourself in a similar situation. Possible noises during automatic deceleration are normal. Range of applications The minimum desired speed is 20 mph or 30 km/h, and the maximum desired speed is 110 mph or 180 km/h.

This indicator does not release you from your responsibility to adapt your desired speed and driving style to prevailing driving conditions. The indicator 2 flashes in yellow.
Swerving vehicles While active cruise control is capable of braking your vehicle automatically when you approach a slower vehicle ahead, it is important to be aware that the ability of the system to apply the brakes is also limited, e.g. when you reduce your desired speed sharply. The system cannot stop your vehicle. It uses only a portion of braking system capacity and does not utilize the full capacity of the vehicle braking system.
Driving In approaching a curve, it is possible that active cruise control would react briefly to a vehicle in the adjacent lane. In addition, the system can sense if your vehicle is in a curve and may not accelerate. If your vehicle decelerates in either case, you can choose to overcome the deceleration by briefly pressing the accelerator pedal. Your responsibility Your actions have priority at all times.

Technology for driving comfort and safety thin and wedge-shaped objects, etc. Low objects already indicated, such as a curb, may enter the sensors' dead areas before a continuous audible signal is given. Higher, protruding objects, such as ledges, may not be detectable. Loud sound sources outside or inside the car can drown out the PDC signal.< Driving stability control systems within physical limits by reducing engine output and through braking actions at the individual wheels.
