5.4.1 Adaptive cruise control (ACC)*
The adaptive cruise control, referred to as ACC,
can automatically adjust the distance from the
vehicle in front in the cruise control status at the
cruising speed of 0~120 km/h.
Based on the millimeter wave radar installed on
the front of the car and the intelligent forward
camera on the windshield, ACC detects the
relative distance and speed between the vehicle in
front and the car on the same path:
–
If a vehicle in front is stopped, ACC controls
the car to follow the vehicle in front for
automatic stop; if the vehicle in front is
started, ACC controls the car to start again
under certain conditions. After stop for a
specific time, the car can be started by simply
operating the RES/+ button or accelerator
pedal as the vehicle in front is started.
–
When a vehicle is in front and its speed is
lower than the target speed set by the driver,
ACC controls the car to maintain a safe
distance from the vehicle in front.
–
When no vehicle is in front, ACC controls the
car to travel at the target speed set by the
driver.
NOTE
Precautions for use of radar and camera
sensor.

WARNING
•
ACC is not a safety system, collision
alarm or anti-collision system, but a
comfort system, so the driver must
always maintain control of the car and
take full responsibility for the car.
•
ACC must be used with caution
according to the visibility, weather
conditions, road and traffic conditions
at the time. The driver must always keep
control of the car and take full
responsibility for the speed of the car
and the distance from other vehicles.
•
ACC cannot substitute for driver’s
attention and judgment. The driver
should always be responsible for
ensuring that the car travels safely at an
appropriate speed and maintains an
appropriate distance from other
vehicles.
