What can adaptive cruise contr ol do?
The adaptive cruise control wor ks in conjunc-
tion with a radar sensor installed in the front
of the vehicle¢ page 95, fig. 97, which is sub-
ject to designated system limits ¢ page 97.
Stat ionary objects are disregarded .
On open roads w ith no traff ic, adaptive cruise
control works like a regular cruise control sys-
tern. The stored speed is maintained . When
approaching a moving vehicle detected up
ahead, the adaptive cruise control system au-
tomat ically slows down to match that vehi-
cle's speed and then maintains the distance
that the driver previously stored . As soon as
the system does not detect a veh icle up
ahead, adaptive cru ise contro l accelerates
back up to t he stored speed.
Which fun ctions can be controlled?
When you switch adapt ive cruise control on,
you can set the current speed as the "control
speed" ¢ page 98, Switching on and off .
When dr iving, you can stop cruise contro l
¢ page 99 or change the speed¢ page 99
at any time.
You can also set the distance to the object
ahead and set the adapt ive cru ise control driv-
ing program ¢page 100.
