ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (1/8)
The adaptive cruise control is a func-
tion which gives you the option, when
traffic conditions permit (large free-flow-
ing road or motorway), of maintaining
a chosen speed, known as the cruising
speed, while keeping a safe distance
from the vehicle in front in the same
lane.
The function can be adjusted from
31 mph (50 km/h) to 99.2 mph
(160 km/h).
The radar-camera has a range of
around 120 metres.
Note:
– the driver should take account of the
maximum legally permissible speed
in the country where the vehicle is
travelling;
– the adaptive cruise control can brake
the vehicle up to a third of the brak-
ing capacity. Depending on the situ-
ation, the driver may need to brake
harder.
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid.
Therefore, it can under no
circumstances replace the
driver’s responsibility to respect
speed limits and to be vigilant (the
driver must always be ready to
brake).
The adaptive cruise control should
not be used in heavy traffic, on
winding or slippery roads (black ice,
aquaplaning, gravel) and during bad
weather (fog, rain, side winds etc.).
There is a risk of accidents.

play.
