Adaptive cruise control communication and status

Learn how adaptive cruise control's status is communicated in the car.

The driver display shows the status of adaptive cruise control using graphics and symbols. Important information can also appear as notifications.

Display symbols and communication

The primary status is shown below the gear indicator. It tells you whether adaptive cruise control is active or not.
Adaptive cruise control is off but available to activate if all conditions are met.
Adaptive cruise control is active.

When the driver display shows the surround display mode, adaptive cruise control's status and actions are shown as animations and with symbols. These can show distance-keeping and when your car is adjusting the speed to other vehicles ahead. When the display shows the calm display mode, adaptive cruise control's status is only communicated using symbols instead.

 Important

Using surround mode

Surround mode cannot perfectly depict what is really happening on the road around you, so do not rely on it when you are driving.

The target speed appears in green above the speedometer.
