- Fig. 1 Instrument cluster: Display in speedometer
Applies to vehicles: with adaptive cruise control
Target speed
The target speed set by the driver is displayed by a red diode.
If the speed setting selected by pressing the SET button lies somewhere between two markers on the speedometer dial, the two closest diodes will light up Fig. 1.
It is only possible to set target speeds ranging from 30 to 200 km/h. This speed range is illuminated slightly in the speedometer.
Warning and indicator lamps
No vehicle in front: The indicator lamp lights up when the adaptive cruise control system is on and there is no vehicle in front. It maintains the stored target speed.
Vehicle in front: The indicator lamp lights up when the system detects a vehicle in front. The speed is adapted to the vehicle in front. The adaptive cruise control system accelerates and brakes the vehicle automatically.
Driver intervention prompt: The warning lamp flashes to warn the driver to intervene. The driver has to brake the vehicle with the foot brake. The indicator lamp will always come on when the adaptive cruise control system alone is not able to brake the vehicle sufficiently to maintain a safe distance to a vehicle in front. An audible alarm (warning tone) will also sound when the lamp starts to flash. For further information on the driver intervention prompt Link.
Note
- If you exceed the target speed by using the accelerator, the driver intervention prompt will not be accompanied by a warning tone. The indicator lamp shown in the display will also switch off, if the target speed is exceeded.
- The volume of the warning tone can be set in the MMI menu adaptive cruise control Link.
