Adaptive cruise control (ACC)
Changing the set speed
Press the SET+ switch or the SET-
switch to accelerate or decelerate.
Note: If ACC does not react to these
changes the reason may be that the
gap interval to the vehicle in front
prevents an increase in speed.
Setting the vehicle gap
E82311
The distance between you and the
vehicle detected in front is maintained
by a variable setting. There are five
steps which are shown by horizontal
bars in the information display. One
bar denotes the smallest gap and five
bars indicate the largest gap. These
bars are shown empty when in
standby mode and filled when in
active mode.
If no vehicle is detected in front, then
only your car will be shown in the
display below the bars. This is a free
cruise mode, where the system will
maintain the set speed when
conditions permit. The set gap is
maintained and displayed.
If a vehicle is detected by the sensor,
the display will show another vehicle
above the horizontal bars:
E82312
This is a follow mode, and the system
will accelerate or decelerate as
necessary to maintain the set gap.
Press switch E to decrease the gap
or switch D to increase the gap. The
gap selected will be shown by the
number of bars in the display. The
recommended gap setting is three
to five bars.
Note: The gap setting is time
dependant and therefore the
distance will automatically adjust with
your speed. For example on a gap
setting of 3 bars, the time gap is 1.8
seconds. This will mean that at a
speed of 100 km/h (62 mph), the
distance to the vehicle in front will be
maintained at 50 metres (164 feet)
