Depending on the vehicle setting, the Cruise
Control settings can change under certain
conditions. For instance, the acceleration can
change depending on the driving mode.
Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute for
the driver’s personal judgment in assessing
the traffic situation. Based on the limits of
the system, it cannot independently react
to all traffic situations. There is a risk of
accident. Adjust driving style to traffic condi-
tions. Watch the surrounding traffic situation
closely, be ready to take over steering and
braking at any time, and actively intervene
where appropriate.
Warning
The use of the system can lead to an in-
creased risk of accidents in the following sit-
uations, for instance:
▷
On winding roads.
▷ With high traffic volume.
▷ On slippery roads, in fog, snow, or wet
conditions, or on a loose road surface.
