braking (to avoid exceeding the
initially set speed) so that the vehicle
keeps present distance, trying to
adapt to the speed of the detected
vehicle ahead.
WARNING!
•
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is
designed to increase vehicle driving
comfort. It must not be considered
as a means replacing the required
attention of the driver. The driver is
always required to drive carefully.
The driver is always required to
pay utmost attention to driving
conditions (road, traffic, weather)
and style (speed, distance from
sensed vehicle ahead, brake use).
Driver has the full responsibility of
the vehicle therefore his attention
is crucial to keeping vehicle control
in particular when approaching
curves, rounds and situations with
heavy traffic. Failure to follow these
warnings can result in a collision and
death or serious personal injury.
•
In some driving scenarios, the ACC
could have detection problems. In
such cases, the ACC could kick in late
or unexpectedly. The driver must
be careful since his/her intervention
could be necessary.
•
It is always driver responsibility to
obey to speed limits and to keep
minimum legal distance to the
preceding vehicle foreseen for the
specific country.
•
ACC system can decelerate only with
limited braking, it cannot execute
emergency braking.
The ACC system:
• Does not activate/react in the
presence of pedestrians, bicycle and
not licensable vehicle in general,
incoming traffic from opposite
direction and steady objects such as a
vehicle stuck in a traffic jam or for a
fault.
• Is meant for the use on highways and
well-build roads, not for city traffic or
mountain roads.
• May not have enough time to react
and/or decelerate sufficienlty on
vehicles when lane is changed too
fast or the relative speed is too high.
In such cases the driver has to react
appropriately also without any
acoustic/visual warning.
• Cannot consider road, traffic and
weather conditions and might prove
limited when visibility is poor.
• Does not always fully recognise
complex driving conditions and this
could cause wrong assessment of the
required safety distance.
It is recommended to disable the ACC
system in the following instances:
• When driving in the fog, heavy rain,
heavy snow, slush, heavy traffic and
similar complex situations such as
for instance highway sections where
there are men at work.
• When entering a junction lane or
a slip road to leave the highway;
when driving on narrow, icy, snowy,
slippery roads, or on steep up and
downhill roads.
• The system is designed and calibrate
for car with no trailer.
• When circumstances do not allow to
drive safely at constant speed.
