pop ups, NAVI information, phone call,
etc...) are displayed, the ACC time gap
symbol shall be displayed in the top
left corner for the time the ADAS in
the main area is covered (see detail in
picture).
If system does not detect the presence
of any vehicles ahead, only the bars
referred to set time gap will be
displayed.
When system detects the presence of
a vehicle ahead, it is displayed in front
of the bars (see example in the figure).
To increase or decrease the number of
bars, corresponding to the time gap
from vehicle ahead, press and release
the related setting button.
Each press and release of the button
changes the time gap starting from
3 bars (default time) and moving in a
sequential way towards the minimum
time: 3→2→1→4→3→2→1→4 and so on.
If there is no vehicle ahead, the vehicle
will maintain the set speed. If a slower
moving vehicle is detected in the same
lane, the system displays the target
vehicle icon before the bars.
From that moment, the system
adjusts vehicle speed automatically
to maintain the time gap setting,
regardless of the set speed.
The vehicle will then maintain the set
time gap until:
• The vehicle ahead accelerates to a
speed above the set speed.
• The vehicle ahead moves out of your
lane or view of the sensor.
• The time gap setting is changed.
• The driver disables the system.
Driver Assistance Systems
The maximum braking applied by ACC
is limited; however, the driver can
always apply the brakes manually, if
necessary. Any time the ACC system
automatically operates the brakes, the
stop lights will turn on as if the driver
was braking.
A Proximity Warning on display will
alert the driver if ACC predicts that
its maximum braking level is not
sufficient to maintain the set time gap.
If this occurs, a visual alert will flash
on the display and a chime will sound
while ACC continues to apply its
maximum braking capacity.
NOTE:
The displayed warning is a warning
for the driver to take action and does
not necessarily mean that the Forward
Collision Warning system is applying
the brakes autonomously.
