be dangerous if the system cannot keep
a constant speed. In specific conditions
speed may be excessive, resulting in the
risk of losing control of the vehicle and
causing accidents. Do not use the device
in heavy traffic or on winding, icy, snowy
or slippery roads.
264) Cruise Control can be dangerous
where the system cannot maintain a
constant speed. Your vehicle could go too

The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a
driver assist device which combines the
Cruise Control functions with one for
controlling the distance from the vehicle
ahead.
The device allows to hold the car at the
desired speed without needing to press
the accelerator. It also allows to hold a
given distance from the vehicle ahead
(the distance can be set by the driver).
The device further enhances driving
comfort provided by the electronic Cruise
Control when on the motorway or out of
town with light traffic.
