158 Driving and operating
Hill considerations
9 Warning
Do not use the adaptive cruise
control on steep hill roads.
System performance on hills depends
on vehicle speed, vehicle load, traffic
conditions and the road gradient. It
may not detect a vehicle in your path
while driving on hills. On steep hills,
you may have to use the accelerator
pedal to maintain your vehicle speed.
When going downhill you may have to
brake to maintain or reduce your
speed.
Note that applying the brake
deactivates the system.
Radar unit
The radar unit is located in the middle
of the front bumper.
9 Warning
The radar unit was aligned
carefully during manufacture.
Therefore, in the event of a front-
end impact, do not use the system.
The front bumper may appear to
be intact, however the sensor
behind may be affected and react
incorrectly. After an accident,
consult a workshop to verify and
adjust the radar unit position.
9 Warning
The usage of a license plate
support on the front bumper may
affect the proper radar unit
functionality.
When using a license plate
support, follow the markings and
indications on the front bumper.
Fault
In the event of an adaptive cruise
control fault, a warning light is
illuminated in the Driver Information
Centre and a warning message is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre accompanied by an audible
signal.
The speed limit recognition may not
operate correctly if traffic signs do not
comply with the Vienna Convention
on Road Signs and Signals.
Have the system checked by a
workshop.
As a safety measure, do not use the
system if the brake lights are faulty.
Do not use the system if the front
bumper is damaged.
