CO-DRIVER SYSTEM
WITH STOP&GO -
Adaptive Cruise Control
with Stop&Go
(where provided)
169)
DESCRIPTION
The Adaptive Cruise Control with
Stop&Go is a driver assistance device
which combines the Cruise Control
functions with one for controlling the
distance from the vehicle ahead.
The system allows the car to be held
at the desired speed without needing
to press the accelerator. It also allows
holding the distance set by the driver
from the vehicle ahead.
The system uses a radar sensor,
located behind the front bumper and a
camera, located in the middle area of
the windscreen fig. 151, to detect the
presence of a vehicle close ahead.
