Warning lamp - braking by driver

Adaptive cruise control has a braking
capacity that is equivalent to approx. 40% of
the car's braking capacity.
1. Collision warning system warning lamp and
6
warning sound .
If the car needs to be braked more heavily
than the adaptive cruise control capacity and
the driver does not brake, then the warning
lamp and warning sound from the Collision
warning system (p. 230) are used in order to
alert the driver that immediate intervention is
required.

NOTE
The warning lamp may be difficult to see in
strong sunlight or when wearing sun-
glasses.
WARNING
The adaptive cruise control only warns of
vehicles which its radar unit has detected -
hence a warning may not be given, or it
may be given with a certain delay. Do not
wait for a warning without braking when so
required.
Steep roads and/or heavy load
Bear in mind that the adaptive cruise control
is primarily intended for use when driving on
level road surfaces. It may have difficulty in
keeping the correct distance from the vehicle
ahead when driving on steep downhill slopes,
with a heavy load or with a trailer - in which
case, be extra attentive and ready to slow
down.
