Activating adaptive cruise control

You can activate adaptive cruise control by moving the right-hand side steering wheel stalk downwards while driving. It's important to assess whether the current driving conditions allow you to use adaptive cruise control safely.

When driving, a grey adaptive cruise control symbol in the driver information area indicates that the function is available but not yet activated.
