Opel CORSA 2017 Owner's Manual page 170

168 Driving and operating
● The vehicle with manual
transmission slows down below
40 km/h.
● The electric parking brake is
applied.
● The traction control system or
electronic stability control is
deactivated or operating.
● The selector lever is neither in D
nor in M.
● A fault is detected in the
electronic stability control or the
radar system.
● Immediately after the clutch
pedal has been depressed or a
few seconds after the clutch
pedal has been depressed
(depending on the manual
transmission).
Switching off the system
Press w, the adaptive cruise control
mode is disabled and the adaptive
cruise control indication extinguishes
in the Driver Information Centre.
Pressing 5 to activate the speed
limiter deactivates adaptive cruise
control.
Switching off the ignition deletes the
stored set speed.
Driver's attention
● Use the adaptive cruise control
carefully on bends or mountain
roads, as it can lose the vehicle
ahead and needs time to detect it
again.
● Do not use the system on
slippery roads as it can create
rapid changes in tyre traction
(wheel spinning), so that you
could lose control of the vehicle.
● Do not use the adaptive cruise
control during rain, snow or
heavy dirt, as the radar sensor
can be covered by a water film,
dust, ice or snow. This reduces or
suppresses completely the
visibility. In case of sensor
blockage, clean the sensor
cover.
● Do not use the system when the
spare wheel is in use.
System limits
9 Warning
The system's automatic brake
force does not permit hard braking
and the braking level may not be
sufficient to avoid a collision.
● After a sudden lane change, the
system needs a certain time to
detect the next preceding
vehicle. So if a new vehicle is
detected, the system may
accelerate instead of braking.
● The adaptive cruise control does
ignore the oncoming traffic.
● The adaptive cruise control does
not consider pedestrians and
animals for braking and driving
off.
● The adaptive cruise control
considers stopped vehicles only
at low speed.
