Adaptive Cruise Control
(If fitted)
Adaptive cruise control is designed so
that your vehicle can remain either a
set speed or time interval to the target
vehicle directly in front of you*.
* Adaptive cruise control option is
only available for Emira V6 automatic
transmission vehicles.
With adaptive cruise control active,
when the camera and radar sensor
detect a target vehicle directly in front
moving slower than the set speed, your
vehicle’s speed will be automatically
adapted to maintain a set distance
from that vehicle. When there are no
longer slower vehicles in front of yours,
your vehicle will accelerate back to the
set speed.
Adaptive cruise control is designed to
regulate the vehicle’s speed based on
the set speed and the traffic detected
directly in front of your vehicle, but
because of limitations in the radar
sensor, unexpected braking or lack
of braking may by experienced. You
should always apply the brakes in
situations that require immediate
braking. Adaptive cruise control can be
activated with vehicle speeds above 20
mph, and, when activated, can follow a
vehicle ahead from a complete stop up
to a speed of 120 mph.
WARNING: Before using this
system, the driver is advised to
read all adaptive cruise control
information in this handbook to be
aware of its limitations.
WARNING: Adaptive cruise control
may not function in certain traffic,
weather or road conditions.
WARNING: Driver assistance
systems are developed to support
the driver and not to replace the
driver’s attention. The driver is
always responsible for ensuring
the vehicle is driven safely at the
appropriate speed and distance
to other vehicles, in accordance
with current traffic rules and
regulations.
