Tip s
•
If the Adaptive Cruise Control initiates braking, the hydraulic
brake system is under pressure. Therefore, the brake pedal distance
is shorter and the peda l feels "harder" .
•
If you use the accelerator to go faster than the speed being main -
tained by the Adaptive Cruise Control, the system will not warn of
situations that require override of the Adaptive Cruise Control. No
warning light will appear in the instrument cluster display and no
gong wil l sound . •
