•
Keep the front of the vehicle free
from dirt, metal badges or objects,
including vehicle front protectors
and additional lights which may
prevent the sensor from
operating.
•
Do not use ACC when entering or
leaving a motorway.
The radar sensor has a limited field
of vision. In some situations it may
detect a vehicle other than the one
expected or not detect any vehicle
at all.
Detection beam issues
E71621
Detection issues can occur:
•
When driving on a different line to
the vehicle in front (
A
).
•
With vehicles that edge into your
lane that can only be detected
once they have moved fully into
your lane (
B
). Motorcycles may
be detected late, or not at all.
•
There may be issues with the
detection of vehicles in front when
going into and coming out of a
bend (
C
). The detection beam will
not follow sharp curves in the
road.
WARNING
In these cases ACC may brake
late or unexpectedly. The driver
should stay alert and intervene if
necessary.
Automatic braking with
ACC
Adaptive cruise control will
automatically brake for you, if
required to maintain the set gap
between your vehicle and the one
detected in front. This braking
capacity is limited to approximately
30% of the total manual braking
capacity to ensure smooth and
comfortable cruising. If the car needs
to brake more heavily than this, and
you do not intervene by braking
manually, an alarm will sound and a
warning symbol will be displayed in
the cluster.
