Adaptive cruise control ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
OVERVIEW
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system is
designed to aid the driver to maintain a gap
from the vehicle ahead or a set road speed if
there is no slower vehicle ahead.
ACC is not a collision warning or
avoidance system. Additionally, ACC
will not react to:
• Stationary or slow moving vehicles below
10 km/h (6 mph).
• 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.
The radar sensor is mounted behind the
bumper cover to the left of the cooling
aperture, to provide a clear view forward for the
radar beam.
• Only use ACC when conditions are
favourable (i.e. main roads with free
flowing traffic).
• 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
sensor from operating.
• Do not use ACC when entering or leaving a
motorway.
USING ACC
1. Gap decrease button.
2. RES (Resume): Resumes the ACC set
speed after it has been disengaged.
3. CAN (Cancel) button.
4. Gap increase button.
The system is operated by controls mounted
on the steering wheel. The driver can also
intervene at any time by use of the brake or
accelerator pedals.
Setting the vehicle speed, activating, and
deactivating ACC is done in the same way as
using cruise control.
ENTERING FOLLOW MODE
When in follow mode, the vehicle will
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.
