Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
When the cruise control is following another
vehicle at speeds below 30 km/h and changes
target from a moving to a stationary vehicle, the
cruise control will slow down for the stationary
vehicle.
WARNING
When the cruise control is following another
vehicle at speeds in excess of 30 km/h and
the target is changed from a moving vehicle
to a stationary vehicle, the cruise control will
ignore the stationary vehicle and instead
select the stored speed.
•
The driver must intervene him/herself
and brake.
Automatic standby mode with change of
target
Cruise control is disengaged and set in
standby mode:
•
when the speed is below 15 km/h and
cruise control is not sure whether the target
object is a stationary vehicle or some other
object, e.g. a speed bump.
•
when the speed is below 15 km/h and the
vehicle in front turns off so the cruise con-
trol no longer has a vehicle to follow.
Automatic braking ceases when
stationary
In certain situations the cruise control inter-
rupts braking when stationary. This means that
the foot brake is released and the driver must
brake himself/herself.
Cruise control releases the foot brake and is
set in standby mode when:
•
the driver puts his/her foot on the brake
pedal
•
the parking brake is applied
•
the gear selector is moved to P, N or R
position
•
the driver sets the cruise control in standby
mode.
Automatic activation parking brake
In some situations the cruise control applies
the parking brake in order to keep a stationary
car remaining stationary.
This takes place if:
•
the driver opens the door or takes off his/
her seatbelt
•
DSTC is changed from Normal to Sport
mode
•
cruise control has held the car stationary
for more than 2 minutes
•
the engine is switched off
•
the brakes have overheated.
