Cruise Control
The system helps you maintain a gap from
the vehicle in front of you. If there is no
vehicle in front of you the system will
maintain a set speed. The system is
intended to provide enhanced operation
of your vehicle when following other
vehicles which are in the same lane and
traveling in the same direction.
The system is based on the use of a radar
sensor which projects a beam directly
forward of your vehicle. This beam will
detect any vehicle ahead within the
system's range.
The radar sensor is located behind the
front grille.
Note: Only use the system when conditions
are favorable, for example on freeways and
main roads with steady free flowing traffic.
Note: The radar sensor has a limited field
of vision. In some situations it may detect a
vehicle other than the one expected or not
detect any vehicle at all.
Note: When you switch the system on, it is
possible that you will hear some unusual
sounds during automatic braking. This is
normal and caused by the automatic
braking system.
Note: Keep the front of your vehicle free
from dirt, metal badges or objects. This
includes vehicle front protectors and
additional lights which may prevent the
sensor from operating.
