Fig. 147 Instrument cluster: Driver intervention prompt
In some situations the adaptive cruise control system alone is not
able to brake the vehicle sufficiently to maintain a safe distance to
the vehicle in front. The adaptive cruise control system will then call
on you as the driver to take control of the situation yourself.
The Driver intervention prompt provides both a visual and an
acoustic warning.
• A red vehicle symbol will appear in the instrument cluster
display ⇒ fig. 147.
• The system status indicator will show DISTANCE!.
• The red warning lamp will start to flash.
