Forward Collision Alert - Opel Vivaro Owner's Manual

Fault
In the event of a fault with the adaptive
cruise control, a warning light is
illuminated and a message is
displayed in the instrument cluster,
accompanied by a warning chime.
The adaptive cruise control may not
operate correctly if traffic signs do not
comply with the Vienna Convention
on Road Signs and Signals.
Have the system checked by a dealer
or a qualified workshop.
As a safety measure, do not use the
system if the brake lights are faulty.

Forward collision alert

The forward collision alert may help to
avoid or reduce the harm caused by
front-end crashes.
The forward collision alert uses the
front camera in the windscreen and a
radar sensor in the front bumper to
detect a preceding vehicle directly
ahead, in your path.
If a vehicle directly ahead is
approached too quickly, a warning
chime and alert in the Driver
Information Centre is provided.
9 Warning
Forward collision alert is just a
warning system and does not
apply the brakes. When
approaching a vehicle ahead too
rapidly, there may not be enough
time to avoid a collision.
The driver accepts full
responsibility for the appropriate
following distance based on traffic,
weather and visibility conditions.
The complete attention of the
driver is always required while
driving. The driver must always be
ready to take action and apply the
brakes.
Driving and operating
Activation
Forward collision alert detects
vehicles and operates automatically
at all speeds between 5 km/h and
85 km/h. The system detects
stationary vehicles if the speed does
not exceed 80 km/h.

alerts:
● Symbol I illuminates and a
warning message is displayed in

ahead gets to small.

warning message is displayed in

a warning chime sounds, when a
