The ACC allows you to set a speed of 30-160 or 210 km/h (depending on
equipment) and the distance to the vehicle ahead ranging from a very short
distance to a very long distance.
The ACC adjusts the set speed with respect to the detected vehicle ahead,
thus maintaining the selected proximity.
The ACC can detect a vehicle that is up to approx. 120 m ahead using the radar
sensor.
