Activating ACC after following stop
When following a vehicle ahead, your vehicle
will also be stopped if the vehicle ahead is
stopped. During a certain period after such
stop, ACC will keep your vehicle stationary
by active pressurization of ESP; after this
period, ACC will keep your vehicle stationary
by activating EPB. When the front vehicle
is driving away, the ACC of the vehicle is
activated in three situations:
1. If the ACC indicator lamp
is green,
ACC can actively resume and re-drive the
vehicle after the front vehicle has driven
away.
2. If the white ACC indicator lamp
is on,
the instrument displays “Cruise Waiting”
and the EPB is not activated, the driver
can restore the ACC and re-drive the
vehicle by pressing the accelerator pedal
or pressing the
key.
3. If the white ACC indicator lamp
is
on and EPB is activated, the driver can
recover ACC and re-drive the vehicle
by stepping on the accelerator pedal or
pressing the
button first.
System limitations
ACC is limited by physical laws and has
certain system limitations. In some driving
environments, the driver may feel that the
ACC response is lagging or fails to control the
vehicle as scheduled. Therefore, the driver
must be ready to control the vehicle by himself
at any time.
The following conditions will affect functions
of the radar, so the driver must be particularly
alert under these conditions:
1. Decelerating to stop. If the vehicle in front
stops with emergency braking, ACC will
also slow down or prompt the takeover
request. The driver shall actively intervene
in braking according to the takeover
request alarm to completely stop the
vehicle.
2. Driving through a curve. When driving
through a curve, the radar sensor may
not catch the vehicle ahead or may not be
able to react to the vehicle in the adjacent
lane. In this case, ACC may apply the
brake to the vehicle in front, reduce
the speed, or have no response to the
vehicle in front. Depress the brake pedal
or manually cancel ACC to exit the ACC
system.
