Hill considerations
Warning
Do not use the adaptive cruise control
on steep hill roads.
System performance on hills depends
on vehicle speed, vehicle load, traffic
conditions and the road gradient. It may
not detect a vehicle in your path while
driving on hills. On steep hills, you may
have to use the accelerator pedal to
maintain your vehicle speed. When going
downhill, you may have to brake to
maintain or reduce your speed. Note
that applying the brake deactivates the
system.
Radar unit
The radar unit is located in the middle of
the front bumper.
Warning
The radar unit was aligned carefully
during manufacture.
Therefore, in the event of a front-end
impact, do not use the system.
The front bumper may appear to be
intact, however the sensor behind may
be affected and react incorrectly. After
an accident, consult a workshop to
verify and adjust the radar unit position.
Warning
The usage of a licence plate support on
the front bumper may affect the proper
radar unit functionality.
When using a licence plate support,
follow the markings and indications on
the front bumper.
Fault
In the event of an adaptive cruise
control fault, a warning light illuminates
on the cluster and a warning message
is displayed on the cluster accompanied
by an audible signal. The speed limit
recognition may not operate correctly
if traffic signs do not comply with the
Vienna Convention on Road Signs and
Signals. Have the system checked by a
workshop. As a safety measure, do not
use the system if the brake lights are
faulty. Do not use the system if the front
bumper is damaged.
Speed Limiter
The speed limiter prevents the vehicle
from exceeding a pre-set maximum
speed. The maximum speed can be set
at speeds between 18 mph and 112 mph.
The driver can accelerate the vehicle up
to the pre-set speed. Deviations from the
limited speed may occur when driving
