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 at low and medium
speed 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
Driver Assistance Systems
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.
Displayed Information
ACC condition, as well as the ALM and
ADA status, is displayed on display
after selecting "Driver Assist" menu
(see "Main Menu Contents" in section
"Dashboard Instruments and Controls").
Displayed information depends on
system status: ready, set, temporarily
cancelled or override.
Apart from the image at the centre of
the display, ADAS systems status is
represented by icons at the top left and
right of the display. These icons remain
displayed even when you exiting the
"Driver Assist" screen.
ADAS system status is also displayed in
the right digital dial (ADAS area) when
the main menu is not in "Driver Assist"
screen.
The vehicle(s) and horizontal bars
represent the ACC status as ready
(white) or with sensed vehicle ahead
