Warning lamps
The display
2 flashes red and a sig-
nal sounds. 
The system is warning you to inter-
vene by braking or executing an 
evasive maneuver. The active 
cruise control cannot automatically restore the 
distance to the vehicle driving ahead. 
This display does not, however, relieve the 
driver of the responsibility for adapting desired 
speed and driving style to traffic conditions.
The display
2 flashes yellow. 
Automatic intervention by ABS or 
DSC. The active cruise control 
intervenes by braking until you 
actively take over.
Radar sensor
Heavy rain, dirt, snow, or ice can impair the 
detection of vehicles ahead. If necessary, clean 
the radar sensor under the front bumper. In 
doing so, be especially careful when removing 
layers of snow and ice.
If the sensor is incorrectly aligned, the active 
cruise control cannot be activated.
Things to know about active cruise control
As with conventional cruise control sys-
tems, active cruise control in no way 
diminishes or substitutes for the driver's own 
personal responsibility, alertness and aware-
ness in adjusting speed, braking or otherwise 
controlling the vehicle. The driver should 
decide when to use the system on the basis of 
road, traffic, visibility, and weather conditions. 
Active cruise control is intended for use on 
highway-type roadways where traffic is moving 
relatively smoothly. Do not use this system in 
city driving; heavy traffic such as during rush 
hour; on curvy, winding roads, slippery roads or 
roads with sharp curves such as highway off-
ramps; during inclement weather such as snow, 
heavy rain or fog; or when entering inter-
changes, service/parking areas or toll booths. 
It is also important to regulate your vehicle's 
speed and distance setting within applicable 
legal limits. Always be ready to take action or 
apply the brakes if necessary, especially when 
the system is actively following a vehicle in front 
of you.

Always remember that the range and abil-
ity of the system do have physical limita-
tions. It will not apply the brakes or decelerate
