Adaptive cruise control (ACC)
CAUTION
Use the appropriate gap setting
in accordance with local traffic
regulations.
Cancelling ACC
Press either the brake or clutch
pedal, or the CAN (B) switch. The
system will go back to standby mode
and will retain the set speed and gap
in the memory. The ACC indicator
light will turn off in the instrument
cluster.
Resuming ACC
Press the RES switch. The ACC
indicator light will come on and the
system will resume with the
previously set speed and vehicle gap
setting if conditions permit.
Switching ACC off
Press the ACC ON/OFF (A) switch.
Note: The ACC off switch does not
return the system to standby mode.
The stored speed is not retained. To
temporarily disengage ACC use the
ACC cancel (B) switch.
Automatic deactivation
ACC is dependent on various other
safety systems e.g. ABS and ESP. If
any of these systems are
malfunctioning or reacting to an
emergency, then ACC is
automatically cancelled.
In the event of automatic deactivation
a signal will sound and the message
ACC cancel is shown in the display.
You must then intervene and adapt
your driving and speed to vehicles in
front.
An automatic deactivation can be
due to:
•
speed falls below 30 km/h (20
mph)
•
wheels lose traction
•
brake temperature is high, for
example when driving on
mountainous or hilly roads
•
engine speed is too low
•
the radar sensor is covered
•
the parking brake is applied
If the engine speed drops too low, a
message will appear instructing you
to change down a gear (manual
transmission only). If you do not
follow this recommendation then
ACC will go into automatic
deactivation mode.
Note: ACC will not work if Electronic
stability programme (ESP) has been
manually switched off.
FORWARD ALERT
FUNCTION
The forward alert system assists you
by warning of the risk of a collision,
and reducing the severity of a
