Adaptive Cruise Control

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.

• the vehicle ahead slows so that ‘low speed automatic switch

off’ occurs.

• a new gap distance is set.

If necessary, the vehicle brakes will be automatically applied to

slow the vehicle to maintain the gap to the vehicle in front. The

maximum braking rate which is applied by the ACC system is

limited and can be overridden by the driver intervening and

applying the brakes, if required.

Note:

Driver braking will cancel the adaptive cruise control

function.

If the ACC uses its maximum braking level then an audible

warning will sound while the ACC continues to brake. This is

accompanied by a red warning light and ‘DRIVER INTERVENE’

will be displayed on the message centre. The driver should take

IMMEDIATE action.

When in follow mode the vehicle will automatically return to

the set speed when the road ahead is clear or the vehicle in

front is beyond the set gap or changes lane.

Low speed automatic switch off

If the speed of the vehicle decreases below 24 km/h, the ACC

system will be automatically switched OFF and the tell tale will

go out. If the brakes were being applied by the ACC system, they

will be slowly released. This will be accompanied by an audible

warning, a red warning light and ‘DRIVER INTERVENE’ will be

displayed on the message centre. The driver must take control.

Overriding the set speed /follow mode

The set speed and gap can be overridden by pressing the

accelerator pedal when cruising at constant speed or follow

mode. If the vehicle is in follow mode, the tell tale indicator will

go out when the ACC is overridden by the driver using the

accelerator and ‘CRUISE OVERRIDE’ will be displayed on the

message centre. When the accelerator is released the ACC

function will operate again and vehicle speed will decrease to

the set speed, or a lower speed if follow mode is active.

WARNING:

Whenever the driver is overriding the ACC, the ACC

automatic braking will not be available to maintain

separation from any vehicle ahead.
