ences or if the vehicle in front brakes suddenly.
Due to the limitations of the radar unit, braking
may come unexpectedly or not at all.
The adaptive cruise control aims to follow the
vehicle ahead in the same lane at a time interval
set by the driver. If the radar unit cannot see any
vehicle in front then the car will instead maintain
the speed set and stored by the driver. This also
takes place if the speed of the vehicle ahead
increases and exceeds the stored speed.
Adaptive cruise control can follow another vehicle
at speed from 0 km/h up to 200 km/h
(125 mph).
WARNING
Adaptive cruise control is not a collision avoid-
ance system. The driver must intervene if the
system does not detect a vehicle in front.
The adaptive cruise control does not brake for
humans or animals, and not for small vehicles
such as bicycles and motorcycles. Nor for low
trailers, oncoming, slow or stationary vehicles
and objects.
Do not use the Adaptive cruise control, for
example, in city traffic, at junctions, on slippery
surfaces, with a lot of water or slush on the
road, in heavy rain/snow, in poor visibility, on
winding roads or on slip roads.
NOTE: The illustration is schematic - details may vary depending on car model.
