Driving and operating
Deactivate the system in the following
situations:
● when driving in a tight bend
● when approaching a roundabout
● when following a vehicle not
detected by system, e.g., a
motorcycle
● when the vehicle ahead sharply
decelerates
● when a vehicle cuts in sharply
Hill considerations
9 Warning
Do not use the adaptive cruise
control on steep hill roads.
System performance on hills depends
on vehicle speed, vehicle load, traffic
conditions and the road gradient. It
may not detect a vehicle in your path
while driving on hills. On steep hills,
you may have to use the accelerator
pedal to maintain your vehicle speed.
When going downhill you may have to
brake to maintain or reduce your
speed.
Note that applying the brake
deactivates the system.
Radar unit
The radar unit is located in the middle
of the front bumper.
9 Warning
The radar unit was aligned
carefully during manufacture.
Therefore, in the event of a front-
end impact, do not use the system.
The front bumper may appear to
be intact, however the sensor
behind may be affected and react
incorrectly. After an accident,
consult a workshop to verify and
adjust the radar unit position.
