The brake lamps come on if the vehicle is
slowed down by the system.
It can be dangerous to drive if the brake lamps
are not in perfect working order.
To do this, the system uses a camera fitted at the
top of the windscreen and, depending on version,
a radar fitted in the front bumper.
Primarily designed for driving on main
roads and motorways, this system only
works with moving vehicles driving in the same
direction as your vehicle.
If the driver activates the direction
indicator to overtake a slower vehicle,
cruise control may temporarily reduce the
distance to the target vehicle to facilitate
overtaking, without exceeding the speed
setting.
