Adaptive Cruise Control cannot detect all

tions correctly. If you do not
maintain the minimum distance to a vehi-
cle in front or if the dierence in speed be-
tween that vehicle and your own vehicle

Adaptive Cruise Control is insucient, you
are in danger of colliding. This can lead to
serious injuries or death.

Always be prepared to brake the vehi-
cle yourself.
·
Press the accelerator to override Adap-
tive Cruise Control. Adaptive Cruise
Control will not brake automatically in
this case.
·
Observe any country-specific regula-
tions regarding the minimum distance
between vehicles.
·
Maintain a larger gap in wet weather,
snow or poor visibility.
