Adaptive cruise control (ACC) allows
you to maintain a set speed and keep
the vehicle ahead of you at a safe
distance without having to use the
accelerator pedal or the brake pedal.
When the vehicle ahead of you slows
down or speeds up, ACC senses the
change in distance and compensates
by accelerating or braking your car
to reach the cruising speed you
previously set. The distance between
vehicles is based on your speed: the
faster you go, the longer the distance
will be; the slower you go, the
shorter it will be.
If the vehicle ahead of you slows
down suddenly, ACC alerts you by
sounding a beeper and displaying a
message on the multi-information
display.
The ACC radar sensor in the front
grille can detect and monitor the
distance of a vehicle up to 100
metres (328 feet) ahead of your car.
As with any system, there are limits
to ACC. Inappropriate use of ACC
can result in a serious accident. Use
the brake pedal whenever necessary,
and always keep a safe distance
between your car and other vehicles.
Do not use ACC under these
conditions:
In poor visibility.
In heavy traffic.
When you must slow down and
speed up repeatedly.
On winding roads.
On steep downhills.
