What can adaptive cruise control do?
The adaptive cruise control works in conjunct ion
with a radar sensor installed in the front of the
veh icle ¢ page 106, fig. 116, which is subject to
designated system limits ¢ page 108. Stationary
objects a re disregarded.
On open roads with no traffic, adaptive cru ise
control works like a regular cruise contro l sys-
tem. The stored speed is ma inta ined. When ap-
proaching a moving vehicle detected up ahead,
the adaptive cruise control system automatically
slows down to match that vehicle's speed and
then maintains the distance that the driver previ-
ously stored. As soon as the system does not de-
tect a vehicle up ahead, adaptive cruise control
accelerates back up to the stored speed.
Which functions can be controlled?
When you switch adaptive cruise control on, you
can set the current speed as the "control speed"
¢
page 108, Switching on and off.
When driving, you can stop cruise control
¢ page 110 or change the speed
¢
page 109 at
any time.
You can also set the distance to the object ahead
and set the adaptive cruise control driving pro-
gram ¢page 110 .
