Driver's attention
● Use the adaptive cruise control
carefully on bends or mountain
roads, as it can lose the vehicle
ahead and needs time to detect it
again.
● Do not use the system on
slippery roads as it can create
rapid changes in tyre traction
(wheel spinning), so that you
could lose control of the vehicle.
● Do not use the adaptive cruise
control during rain, snow or
heavy dirt, as the radar sensor
can be covered by a water film,
dust, ice or snow. This reduces or
suppresses completely the
visibility. In case of sensor
blockage, clean the sensor
cover.
● Do not use the system when the
spare wheel is in use.
System limits
9 Warning
The system's automatic brake
force does not permit hard braking
and the braking level may not be
sufficient to avoid a collision.
● After a sudden lane change, the
system needs a certain time to
detect the next preceding
vehicle. So if a new vehicle is
detected, the system may
accelerate instead of braking.
● The adaptive cruise control does
ignore the oncoming traffic.
● The adaptive cruise control does
not consider pedestrians, cyclists
and animals for braking and
driving off.
● The adaptive cruise control does
not consider stationary vehicles.
As the radar's field of detection is
quite narrow, it is possible that the
system may not detect:
● vehicles of reduced width, e.g.
motorcycles, scooters
● vehicles not running in the middle
of the lane
● vehicles entering a corner
● vehicles suddenly pulling out
Deactivate the system in the following
situations:
● when driving in a tight bend
● when approaching a roundabout
● when following a vehicle not
detected by system, e.g., a
motorcycle
● when the vehicle ahead sharply
decelerates
● when a vehicle cuts in sharply
between your vehicle and the
vehicle ahead
