4. Press to decrease the set speed. The
speed of the vehicle will gradually
decrease to reach the new set speed.
5. Pull to decrease the Follow mode gap.
See 130, ENTERING FOLLOW MODE.
6. Pull to increase the Follow mode gap.
ENTERING FOLLOW MODE
When in Follow mode, the vehicle
may not decelerate automatically
to a stop, nor will the vehicle
always decelerate quickly enough
to avoid a collision.
Once a set speed has been selected, the
driver can release the accelerator and the
set road speed will be maintained.
If a vehicle ahead enters the same lane,
or a slower vehicle is ahead in the same
lane, your vehicle's speed will adjust
automatically until the gap to the vehicle
ahead corresponds to the gap setting. The
vehicle is now in Follow mode.
The Follow mode warning lamp will
illuminate in the Instrument panel, to
confirm Follow mode is operational (see
56, FOLLOW MODE (AMBER)).
The Message centre will display the gap
set in the form of a vehicle with a varying
number of bars in front of it.
The vehicle will then maintain the constant
time gap to the vehicle ahead until:
• The vehicle ahead accelerates to a
speed above the set speed.
• The vehicle ahead moves out of lane
or out of view.
• A new gap setting is chosen.
If necessary, the vehicle's brakes will be
automatically applied, slowing the vehicle
and maintaining the gap to the vehicle in
front.
The maximum braking which is applied by
ACC is limited and can be overridden by
the driver applying the brakes, if required.
Note: Driver braking will cancel ACC.
If the ACC system predicts that its
maximum braking level will not be
sufficient, then an audible warning will
sound while the ACC system continues to
brake. DRIVER INTERVENE will be
displayed in the Message centre. Take
immediate action.
When in Follow mode, the vehicle will
automatically return to the set speed when
the road ahead is clear, for instance when:
• The vehicle ahead accelerates to a
speed above the set speed, or
changes lane.
• You change lane to either side or enter
an exit lane.
The driver should intervene, if appropriate.
If a direction indicator is used, ACC will
reduce the gap to the vehicle ahead so as
to respond more quickly to the anticipated
manoeuvre. If a manoeuvre is not
actioned, the previous gap will be restored
after a few seconds. Enhanced response
may not occur if ACC detects that it is
inappropriate, i.e., you are already too
close to the vehicle ahead or you are
already in another lane.
FOLLOW MODE OFF
Follow mode can be disabled by pressing
and holding the gap decrease button on
the steering wheel, until the Follow mode
OFF icon is displayed in the Message
center, see 58, FOLLOW MODE OFF
(GREY). The Follow mode (amber) warning
lamp will extinguish.
