ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
OVERVIEW
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system
is designed to maintain a gap from the
vehicle ahead or a set road speed if there
is no slower vehicle ahead. A speed may
be set at between 32 km/h (20 mph) and
180 km/h (112 mph). The set speed will
be displayed in the Message centre.
The system acts by regulating the speed
of the vehicle, using engine control and
the brakes.
ACC is not a collision warning or
avoidance system. Additionally,
ACC will not react to:
• Pedestrians or objects in the
roadway.
• Oncoming vehicles in the same lane.
The ACC system uses a radar sensor,
which projects a beam directly forward of
the vehicle to detect objects ahead.
To provide a clear view forward for the
radar beam, the radar sensor is mounted
at the front of the vehicle in the upper
grille or behind the duct in the lower
cooling aperture (depending on engine
specification).
• Use ACC only when conditions are
favourable, i.e. main roads with traffic
moving in lanes.
• Do not use during abrupt or sharp
turns, e.g., traffic islands, junctions,
areas with many parked vehicles or
areas shared with pedestrians.
• Do not use in poor visibility,
specifically fog, heavy rain, spray or
snow.
• Do not use on icy or slippery roads.
• It is the drivers responsibility to stay
alert, drive safely and be in control of
the vehicle at all times.
• Keep the front of the vehicle free from
dirt, metal badges or objects,
including vehicle front protectors,
which may prevent the radar sensor
from operating.
USING ACC
The system is operated by controls
mounted on the steering wheel. The driver
can also intervene at any time by the use
of the brake or accelerator pedals.
1. Press to set the vehicle's current speed
as the set speed. The ACC warning
lamp will illuminate to confirm ACC is
operational. See 57, CRUISE
CONTROL (GREEN). While ACC is
enabled, further pressing of the button
will raise the set speed above the
vehicle's current speed. The speed of
the vehicle will gradually increase to
reach the new set speed.
2. RES: Press to resume the ACC set
speed after it has been disengaged.
3. CAN: Pull to cancel but retain the set
speed in the memory.
