Adaptive Cruise Control
ACC failure
If a fault occurs during operation of the system in cruise or
follow modes, the ACC system will switch OFF and will not be
able to be used until the fault is cleared. A red warning light will
be displayed accompanied by the message ‘DRIVER INTERVENE’
on the message centre.
If failure of the ACC or any related system occurs at any other
time an amber warning light will be displayed accompanied by
the message ‘CRUISE NOT AVAILABLE’. It will not be possible to
activate the ACC system in any mode.
Notes on using cruise control
1. Cruise control operates when the gear selector lever is in
position ‘2’, ‘3’ ‘4’ or ‘D’.
2. When engaged, the accelerator pedal rests in the raised
position.
3. When braking is applied by the ACC the brake pedal will
move down and up as braking is applied or removed. The
vehicle brake lights will be switched on while braking
applied.
Driving with ACC active
The system acts by regulating the speed of the vehicle through
the accelerator and brakes only. Gear changes may occur in
response to deceleration or acceleration whilst under ACC
influence.
ACC is not a collision avoidance system, however, during some
situations the system may provide the driver with an indication
that intervention is required.
If the ACC detects:
• that it is using maximum braking level
• that the vehicle speed has decreased below the minimum for
ACC operation
• a failure has occurred whilst the system is active
then an audible alarm will sound, accompanied by a red
warning light and the message ‘DRIVER INTERVENE’
