Information messages
Adaptive cruise control (from here on referred to only as ACC) can maintain the
set speed or the proximity to the vehicle ahead consistently, without the need
to operate the gas or brake pedals.
The state in which the ACC maintains the speed or the proximity is described
as control from here on.
WARNING
The system only serves to support and does not relieve the driver of the
■
responsibility for the vehicle operation.
The driver must always be ready to take over steering of the vehicle him-
■
self (accelerate or brake).
Always adapt your speed and safety proximity to the vehicle ahead to the
■
current visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
