Galaxy/S-MAX (CA1) Vehicles Built From: 25-11-2013, Vehicles Built Up To: 18-12-2014, CG3533en enGBR, Edition date: 11/2013, Second Printing
Adaptive cruise control (ACC)
Note: The gap setting is time dependant
and therefore the distance will
automatically adjust with your speed. For
example on a gap setting of four 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 meters (164 feet).
Note: If the accelerator is depressed for a
short period, for example when overtaking,
the system is temporarily deactivated and
then reactivated when the accelerator pedal
is released. A message is displayed in the
information display.
Note: The gap setting will remain
unchanged during ignition cycles.
The distance between you and the vehicle
detected in front is maintained by a
variable setting. There are five steps which
are represented by horizontal bars
displayed 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 vehicle is displayed in the information
display below the bars. 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:
