Detecting the vehicle ahead
If the system detects a vehicle in the
driving path, the adaptive cruise
control screen changes accordingly.
Deactivation of the functionality
Press ", adaptive cruise control is in
pause mode. The preset speed is
illuminated grey.
The adaptive cruise control is
deactivated, but not disabled. The
last stored set speed remains in
memory for later usage.
The adaptive cruise control is
deactivated automatically in the
following cases:
● brake pedal depressed
● traction control system or
electronic stability control is
operating
● reverse gear engaged, N
selected or no gear engaged
● speed falls below 30 km/h for a
vehicle with manual transmission
● risk of engine stalling in case of a
vehicle with manual transmission
● clutch pedal depressed for more
than ten seconds
● electric parking brake engaged
● seat belt unfastened
● driver's door opened
Switching off the system
Press , successively to switch
adaptive cruise control off.
Driver's attention
● Use the adaptive cruise control
carefully on bends or mountain
roads, as it can lose the vehicle
ahead and needs time to detect it
again.
● Do not use the system on
slippery roads as it can create
rapid changes in tyre traction
(wheel spinning), so that you
could lose control of the vehicle.
● Do not use the adaptive cruise
control during rain, snow or
heavy dirt, as the radar sensor
can be covered by a water film,
dust, ice or snow. This reduces or
suppresses completely the
visibility. In case of sensor
blockage, clean the sensor
cover.
● Do not use the system when the
spare wheel is in use.
System limits
9 Warning
The system's automatic brake
force does not permit hard braking
and the braking level may not be
sufficient to avoid a collision.
● After a sudden lane change, the
system needs a certain time to
detect the next preceding
vehicle. So if a new vehicle is
detected, the system may
accelerate instead of braking.
